I made a thread about 10 months ago where I updated it with my buys. I figured I'd do it again as I've started hardcore collecting again. I'll keep this updated regularly, I buy only Jakks so I'll keep it up to date.
UPDATED 11/5/2020
Picked these up from the sorting office this morning, waiting on the mail to come and see if anything else turns up today!
UPDATED 5/5/2020
Picked up 4 parcels from the sorting office this morning (1 being Mattel) and I'd say a successful day!
Got this for a sweet deal, how could I say no?
This Lex I've always wanted so glad I got him finally.
I really wanted the Ringside Sticker on this Sherri, but they seem to be in short supply. Maybe one day I'll upgrade but happy for now!
UPDATED 3/5/2020
Nothing major, I picked this up from my neighbour tonight as I was out all weekend at my mums. I've got 3 parcels to pick up at the sorting office in the morning so I'll update tomorrow too!
UPDATED 30/4/2020
Got a couple neat things in the post, some nostalgic purchases. Got a few things coming in the mail so once they get here I'll post them.
Can I just say, Jakks, the fact that with these early LOTR sets that the bloody name tag goes everywhere is sooooo annoying!!
This Y2J I had as a kid so I managed to track one down for a steal so I'm very happy to have this in my collection for the first time since I was 7.
And I had to get the NWO Back in Black DVD, has a cool story behind it so for £4 why not?
UPDATED 26/4/2020
Good week of post! Got a lot of cool figures! Enjoy!
A DVD as well!
UPDATED 21/4/2020
My cousin came through with a figure she'd promised I could have. I bought her this when it came out back in 2008 I want to say. She was getting rid of it and I said hell yes I want it.
I've had this Undertaker for a couple months and the box wouldn't stand on its own due to the damage to the bottom of the card so I decided yesterday I'd open it. Love this figure, such a cool one being his first figure back as the "deadman".
UPDATED Again 20/4/2020
The post just arrived and thank god this figure came. I bought the Bret/Jeff on Twitter from a guy I sold too a few times and I was getting worried it was lost. It was worth the wait, it's minty mint. I had this set a few months ago but actually the Jeff had been head swapped and honestly I liked it, but it drove me nuts it wasn't MOC and that really bothered me. I'm happy to have gotten it.
This Eddie has a story too it. I use the gaming streaming site Twitch to watch some of my favourite Youtubers streaming games, mainly Pokemon. Last week Twitch emailed me and asked if I'd do a survey for them, reward being a $10/£8 amazon gift card. I did the survey, and didn't hear from them for a week, but I got my gift card. I don't buy many Classics on Amazon so I wasn't expecting to find anything worth buying. I found this Eddie Series 19 for £15.99 + postage and thought why not, I'll take the chance on it. I placed the order and the seller then messaged me and said there was a slight dent in the bubble. He sent me pics and I honestly didn't see anything bad or off putting you wouldn't encounter if you bought on eBay so I said yeah I'll still take it. The seller said that was great, but he'd send me a partial refund for the trouble. All in, this Eddie cost me £8 posted. How can you complain. Steal!
This isn't new, but I put my 1/500 Superstar Billy Graham and the actual TRU event poster up on my wall today. Ran out of room for 8x10's on my display cabinet so figured it was time to hang it up. Pretty cool!

Just back from the sorting office as I had a few parcels delivered while I was out at the weekend, so went to pick them up.
TNA Stinger, I had to grab. No Jakks Classic Sting which was always a shame, but I'm tempted to go for the full Legends of the Ring TNA line too, so this is the starting point. I got it off of my friend on Twitter and I'm really funny with some things so it had to have the RSC sticker on the box. I've seen countless auctions on eBay but no sticker, I had to have that sticker. I've no idea why, but it adds to the Exclusive for me.
First LJN Classic had to be the first one, the original starting point for the small subset in the Classic line. Got two more coming, but I reallly loved how they did this. It was such a nice touch!
UPDATED 18/4/2020
All quiet here the last few weeks, but I did get a figure from my local sorting office yesterday as I'd missed the delivery last week. Went to get it on wednesday and it was closed so had to pick it up yesterday morning. Beyond happy with it, it's in absolutely mint condition. No edgwear, no scuffs or dings. It may be the mintest Classic I own!!
UPDATED 6/4/2020
All quiet due to quarantine but I did get this in this morning. Got it for a great price, so can't complain.
UPDATED 27/3/2020
So I haven't been buying anything lately because of the virus stuff so I've only been getting what I had already ordered. These 3 I'd ordered last week before the UK lockdown so they arrived over the past couple days. I'm still waiting on a Series 1 Bret so hopefully it comes tomorrow.
I got this Warrior at such a good price I just couldn't say no!
Junkyard Dog gets me 3/6 on Series 4.
Mr Wonderful completes Series 5 for me!
UPDATED 23/3/2020
Picked up 5 figures from the sorting office today. Really happy with the haul I got, and then the postie just brought me two more!
I bought this TTL Kane on eBay for a good price. It's in good enough condition for me so I'm happy with it!
This RA 16 Batista was one of my favourites as a kid so I bought a loose one for my memory/nostalgia shelf.
The Classic 1 Taker & HBK, Classic 4 Hillbilly Jim & Classic Series 8 Freddie Blassie all came from Toys & Masks.
Last but not least is Series 1 Ultimate Warrior! I have Bret coming in the mail so last one for that full set is Andre!
UPDATED 22/3/2020
Shout out my dudes on Twitter, Fig_Bros for this minty fresh 123 Kid!!
Bought this RA Triple H on ebay for a few quid, needs a wee bath but for what I paid I hope it'll wash up nice.
UPDATED 19/3/2020
Got two more Classics in this morning, a Series 2 Mankind which is always been one of my favourites and a 1/3000 Undertaker which I got for a steal price. The RA Kennedy is for a Nostalgia shelf I'm working on. It was really cheap so the condition doesn't really bother me. I took a pic of the 1/3000 'Taker & 1/100 together as they're counterparts to each other so why not.
UPDATED 17/3/2020
Two more additions to the Series. Glad to get these ticked off. George Steele was a big want so really happy it's here!
UPDATED Again 16/3/2020
Got two Hermes parcels this afternoon, which meant I could leave the house and go to the sorting office to pick another parcel up.
At Ease, Maggots! Got the 1/3000 Sarge for a good price, took a side by side with the 1/100.
Happy 3:16 day guys!
Pink suit Billy Graham means I only need the Green Tights 1/7000 to have all 6 Superstar Classic figures!
UPDATED 16/3/2020
Got this for £2.95 complete for my nostalgia shelf. A figure that holds a great memory and it's one of my favourites of all time. Very happy!
UPDATED Again 13/3/2020
Just got this in the mail. A really cool figure, glad to tick it off the list!
UPDATED 13/3/2020
Received all 4 of these figures from a company called Toys & Masks, they reached out to me on Twitter so I was really happy with their prices and the excellent service. Can't thank them enough!
UPDATED 12/3/2020
Got 5 packages in the mail today, and that's 9 more figures added to the collection.
Droz came from my friends Will & Brad on Twitter from their wee inventory (shout out Fig Bros)
RSC Tazz & Jericho came from my buddy on Facebook & Youtube Chris (CM42TV - cheap plug)
Last 6 came from a dude on Facebook I've now taken 13 figures from, Chris.
UPDATED 9/3/2020
Picked up 6 figures from the Post Office today. Just a start to my Classic Series collection, happy to have got these for a good price.
UPDATED 8/3/2020
It's been one of those weeks where I got a few things in. This coming week is gonna be massive, I have quite a few things ordered and a few deals to rap up so expect a ton of content this week. I'm on the way to start my goal of getting the full Classic Superstars line MOC!
The Tazz I got for a steal so I added it to my Small Box collection!
UPDATED 5/3/2020
Got this in the mail today, a peach of a figure! One of those that'll never be made again. Jakks at its best.
UPDATED 4/3/2020
Got this Sycho Sid Series 16 Kneepad Variant which is one I really wanted as I prefer the look of it with the correct kneepads rather than the bare legged first wave release.
UPDATED 3/3/2020
Got these bad boys off of ebay. Got 2 more figures coming from the same seller hopefully tomorrow!
UPDATED 2/3/2020
Got this for a great price on eBay, couldn't say no.
