So, last summer I was aggressive in collecting the loose WWF Hasbro line. I've done very good, I even have a sealed mailaway Hogan (no Bret/Taker though); but as far as the standard series goes, the ONLY figure I'm missing is Evil Crush. Last summer there were at least 3-4 of him floating on eBay, and being so expensive I saved him for later. Now I regret it. Can't find him to save my life. Anyone have any search tips besides ebay?
Do WWF Hasbro Amber alerts exist yet? This blows.

I had no luck finding him lately on eBay, and I was like you, for the past few years I have seen him on eBay going for 100+ loose and I did not purchase because I hoped to find him for a cheaper price later. But now I am kicking myself. Same thing with the 123 Kid, could have had him a few times in the past for $100+, but now, a recent figure sold on eBay for $300+ - and that's a loose figure (and the figure had some scuff marks, so it wasn't even mint). Prices are getting ridiculous. I hope some more start to pop up soon.

Prices are getting ridiculous. I hope some more start to pop up soon. Agreed on 123 Kid. Mine looked better in the auction pics and was described as "good played with condition", but unless you perfectly sit the right arm up, it falls...theres a small stress crack in his back..1/3 of his decals faded out...grand total? $110 Lol. BUT I think the same revival that you and I felt through last year's introduction of the Retro line is shared by everyone else and is now in full effect. I'm just glad I started finishing my collection last year before prices went up. You could still pick up your $8 Jake Roberts, but I mean your figures that had some value to begin with. There was an Evil Crush 1-2 months ago but if it were a baseball card I'd grade it a 3. Went for $94 Lol. There's a few MOC, but I haven't been collecting them and at this point that isn't where my collection is going. It would be an odd ball. A $350 one at that. The mailaway Hogan I got on a STEAL though. Came from China last July, $225. With the prices I've seen being $250-300 I'm happy with that...sealed in bag too.

I'm all OCD so seeing all but one in my set being stuck on a card would drive me to drink haha. Thanks for investigating it. I am contemplating it though. My wife doesn't know the diff between a $9.97 Retro and a $335 Hasbro lmao.

There's a few WWF Hasbro-related Facebook groups as well where these things will pop up every now and then. It obviously isn't going to be the same vast selection/quantity that's on eBay, but it might be helpful to join and poke around, just so you'll have another avenue in looking for loose stuff.

Trust me, I had to pay flea market prices for LJNs and we slept in the same bed! Lmao

Here are the classic lines I frequently hear from my wife and daughter: "Got another doll in the mail" "Let me guess, another doll?" "I'm surrounded by dolls and heads of dolls" We must always remind them that since they fight, they are technicslly "action figures." Oh the life of a customizer and collector lol

Found a loose one on uk eBay atm. Definitely one of my fav figs. When I got mine I paid nearly as much for a loose one (£110) as I did the carded (£135), both in the last 9 months. The loose was one of my last 5 pieces to complete (which I have done) and the carded is in as good condition as you will ever find. Some way off completing cardeds though :-(

Feel this pain.
Had a black/white Yokozuna ordered from the US on eBay.
Got sent via the eBay Global Shipping Programme....and they went and lost it.
Such a shame. Had used a £25 voucher so was getting it for a really good price. Haven't been able to find one sub £60 since.
And 123 kid...my God...turned him down multiple times at £70 over the years...now, I'd bite your hand off for £70.

I've had a complete loose set before and just need Yoko green now to finish again, manager tho to get allot better quality loose plus accessories and good moving joints
