So I've never bought a Hasbro before (started watching wrestling December '99), and today picked up the purple trunks Warrior Hasbro, loose.  I'm seeing it going on eBay, starting bid, 50. I got it for 15. Did I get a really good deal? Will people really pay 50 for this figure loose? |

$15 is a real good deal assuming it’s in good condition.

$15 for me loose seems a lot, unless its immaculate.

Loose an average of $25 is acceptable.

This one goes for a higher value because it was hard to find back when it was released, a lot of people never had this figure growing up so they're probably more inclined to spend a little extra for it. $50 bucks seems a bit high, but $20-$25 seems more reasonable, I'd say getting it for $15 is a good deal - especially if it's in good condition.

Unrelated I don’t have a lot of the later hasbro series but is this figure suppose to be so much lighter in weight?

I was moving my hasbros around and it noticed how light & hollow my warrior 3 is and got me wondering if its normal. Mechanics makes sense. |

I wonder why a few of the 1992 guys were so hard to find. I never found Warrior, Dragon and Bulldog during the original run. Also does anyone remember what time period any or all of the 1992 came out at? I moved in July 1992 and remember having most of the guys while still in the old house prior to July but I don't remember the month.

I moved in July 1992 and remember having most of the guys while still in the old house prior to July but I don't remember the month. That's an interesting question, I've never heard the answer to it. The only ones from 1992 (Series 3 and 4) I was not able to find Koko, LOD and the Nasty Boys. I remember seeing the Ultimate Warrior once but passed on it since I already had a figure of him and picked up the Texas Tornado instead. I wonder if the reason these series were so hard to find is a lot of the wrestlers were no longer a part of the WWF and maybe when it was time to order the next runs of the figures they didn't have the rights to certain guys, Warrior, Steamboat, Bulldog, LOD, Hammer, and Koko all left the WWF at some point in 1992. After watching the Hasbro's on eBay the past decade, other than series 1 and series 11, series 3 seems to have the highest priced figures - Warrior, Brutus, Perfect, Texas, Macho, Koko, LOD and the Nasty Boys can all go for over $100 (US) each, some much higher. |
