Thanks for all the answers guys I’m a big fan of the line and interested in hearing if you all remember the most you ever purchased in one day

In the past have bought 2 separate loose full sets. paid around £300 each
My collecting started in 2010 with winning an auction of 55 figures on E-bay, the seller has another auction of 70 Hasbros which someone did not pay for,
so he gave me a 2nd chance offer on them.
So suddenly I went for 0 to 125 loose hasbros for a total of £84.50
I probably have around 1000+ hasbros

Great topic, assuming you meant at retail back in the day.
For me, I remember it clear as day and the answer is 7. I was in Kaybee Toys and stumbled on Series 3 which I had no clue existed. Super excited to pick up all they had.
I got Hogan, Beefcake, Quake, Typhoon, Perfect, Tornado and Hammer. They also had Macho Man, but being same as the Macho King figure I skipped him.
Great day for me!

This one's tough to answer.
I've purchased lots of several dozen loose Hasbros at a time before on eBay, but nothing compares to being a kid and having my parents buy me one at a time when we would frequent the local shopping malls in the early-to-mid '90s. I don't quite remember the most I ever got in one trip. Maybe a half dozen brand new as Christmas presents one year.

Christmas 1992 i got 17, my first batch, was a good bundle. Then around 2006 i bought a bundle of around 60 off a childhood friend for a pound a figure, including 123 kid and adam bomb which was a ridiculous bargain thinking of it. Thankfully he didnt seem to care about selling them off so cheap.

Wasn’t sure if you meant at the time of retail or anytime.
I got 5 in one hit as a kid I seem remember. As an adult collector I bought series 10 & 11 at once from an American seller on ebay

As a collector the most I purchased at one time was 6, Series 1 Hulk Hogan, Jake Roberts, Rick Rude, Ax, and Smash, and Series 2 Hacksaw Jim Duggan. As a kid, I don't remember getting a lot at one time, the most I can remember is 4 at one time. For my birthday or Christmas one year, I got series 8 Bret Hart, Mr. Perfect, Lex Luger, and Bam Bam Bigelow. Another year, for Christmas, I got Series 2 Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Series 4 Undertaker, and Series 5 Macho Man Randy Savage. Usually, as a kid, I just got one at a time.

Since Hasbros were just a bit after my time, one at a time.

As a kid I don’t remember getting more than two in store at a time, and that only happened twice that I can remember - my third and fourth ever Hasbro figures were the second Ultimate Warrior and Roddy Piper, bought together on a trip up to Glasgow; and then at a TRU in Spain I nagged my parents into getting me Akeem and Andre together since I had never seen them in stores up til that point. The most I got at once as a kid was when my brother returned from Canada on a business trip and he’d got me Rick Steiner, Fatu, Marty Jannetty and the Giant Gonzales - basically all the figures I told him I needed from those series - I’m still amazed he got me all of them  Years later I used to pick-up loose lots at car boot sales and the like in the late-90s, mostly because I was into customising - maybe 10 or 15 max at a time? At the same time I was collecting MOC as well, and would regularly try to win multiple auctions from eBay sellers to save on shipping - one time I remember was coming home from a late day at school to find a big box of yellow card figures including Razor, HBK, Owen and probably Nailz, maybe with a figure or two from other series as well but it’s the yellows I remember clearest. Another time I got four of the green card figures from the same seller: 1-2-3 Kid, Crush, Adam Bomb and Ludvig Borga. Those days are certainly long gone...! |

My third and fourth figures were also Series 2 Ultimate Warrior and Rowdy Roddy Piper, got them for Christmas in 1991. My first figure was Jake the Snake Roberts (my brother got it for me for my birthday earlier that year because he knew I hated snakes, ah! Brothers...) My second figure was Macho King Randy Savage (my all-time favorite wrestler). I still have three of those figures still to this day, Piper, Jake, and Savage. The Ultimate Warrior broke, though I picked up one on ebay a few years back. |

Jake was my second ever  First was Hulk Hogan 2 in December 1991 at Heathrow airport, Jake in Bridlington at some point before the Warrior and Piper double, with the first Big Boss Man maybe being my fifth on my birthday in March - I might’ve got some others before him but I don’t think so. I didn’t get a Randy Savage until the summer of 92 when I found the Macho King in Spain; I was so excited to FINALLY get him that I remember trying to translate the Spanish bio card |
