While Jakks had the Classic Superstars line going strong, I was an avid collector. I loved the line, but for whatever reason around Classic Series 9 I lost interest and had other goals on my mind, so I bought less and less ... then when Jakks dropped the line to Mattel, that killed my interest in collecting. So, I sold of my entire collection and decided to stop all together. I was in Kmart one day and glanced over seeing Legends Series 1 on the pegs and as bad as I wanted to get them, that urge just wasn't there, so I left them. I'm not quite sure what happened, but around Elite series 24 or so I decided to buy back some of the Jakks Classics that I had sold off and starting collecting the Legends line, which at this point was still semi affordable. Looking back at all of the awesome regular Elite lines, I started seeing figures that I had missed out on, because I just simply wasn't collecting at the time. Seeing figures like Diesel, Shawn Michaels Entrance Greats, All of the Legends line exc exc ... I tried to get the older flashbacks, but by this point they were very pricey. Over time I've managed to get every flashback that I aimed out to get ... except one. I placed a bid on this figure on a popular bidding site and was outbid, so I didn't think anything of it, it was actually quite expected considering what it goes for. So, I never paid it any mind after that. Well, fast forward a few days and I get an email with a 'Second Chance Offer' stating that the winner hadn't paid and if I wanted it at my highest bid price that it was mine, which I couldn't believe ! Hesitant, I msg'd the seller and it all seemed to check out as the seller had 100% positive feedback with thousands of transactions, so there were no worries there. I happily accepted the offer and this afternoon it showed up at my door steps π€ I'm beyond stoked to finally be able to add this to my MOC collection ! I only now need E13 Edge to have every Flashback that I set out to obtain, after starting so late in the game. Thanks for looking and as always, happy collecting π

Nice! He and the E16 Nash seem to be the toughest (ie. most expensive!) Flashbacks to find.

I passed on that figure so many times when it was originally out and I am not sure why. I think at the time I was trying to keep my collection small and since I already had the RSC Masked Kane I wasn't buying any dupes other than the guys I really liked like Warrior and Macho. In hindsight it is a figure I wish I picked up but not that desperate to obtain.

Funny, I just sold mine on ebay last week (I still have one loose). But it's definitely one of the best looking figures they've ever done.

At a price I'm comfortable with.

Kinda crazy that Jakks never made a proper Classic of this.

It's always good to read about fellow collectors finally getting figures they have been wanting for a long time and for a good price, congrats!

Congrats! Also coincidental that you posted this a day after Kaneβs debut 20 years ago! Kinda crazy that Jakks never made a proper Classic of this. RSC CSDA Brothers of Destruction Kane?

Love that figure. I was lucky to find at Kmart back in the day, almost didn't get it but I'm glad I did now.

This is my grail, along with E13 Edge. Praying for a true re-release, not him with two sleeves, not him with inverse colors, but the same one as E12.
