Found The Revival elite figures for $50 for the pair last week and that got me pretty excited. Probably they or when I got the MOC Legends Andre for $100.

Back in good old 1992 before we ever knew which figures were coming out next, my aunt who was babysitting me showed up at my house and told me WAL-MART had a ton of new wrestling figures. She said Undertaker, Bret Hart and The British Bulldog (hasbro). I was ecstatic! She drove me to the store and bought me all three. I LOVED Bret and Bulldog’s match at Summerslam 92 so it was amazing to get them under such surprising circumstances.

When i found the whole set of AEW unrivaled box at walmart I pulled off a pallet, elite 16 kevin Nash off a shipper at Kmart over in the groceries department and when I found elite 69 at walmart and they ringed up at $7 and when I went to Target and found a case unopened of elite 69 with Liv Morgan and Sonya DeVille and calling Target and having a employee go to the back and opening up a case of elite 71 with Kassius Ohno 😁.

I honestly can’t think of the last time I was really excited let alone the most excited. I get more excited for the reveals now. I usually just buy everything online because stores by me are a pain in the ass to hunt so I just kind of know I’m getting it so it takes away some of the fun

Epic Moments Hardy Boyz - Jeff Hardy finally got a Mattel release, and Matt getting a return figure, so I was all over this. This along with his Elite 57 were two figure I couldn't wait to get. My only regret is buying 1 of each.
Elite 1 CM Punk - Punk was my favourite Wrestler at the time when Mattel/WWE launched, so finding out he was in Elite 1 was the best news to me. Once I saw the images of the figure, I was hooked. I love that Punk attire, and the fact that it came with a cloth shirt made it even better. This figure still holds up as one of Mattel's best.
Elite 66 Luke Harper - When this was revealed, I couldn't wait for it. I might be in the minority that loved the Bludgeon gimmick, and their attire, so Harper & Rowan were must haves. Given he often Harper was (or wasn't) used, i knew this would be his last figure for a long time, considering by the time the Bludgeon's came out, the gimmick was already done by 5 or so months. The figure itself is great, it's heavy loose & even heavier MOC. Somehow I've managed to get three of them, two loose & one MOC. I regret not buying two more when RSC had them for cheap recently.
NXT 4 Aleister Black - I was sold on Black from the moment he debuted at Takeover Orlando, so when this figure was announced, I had to get it. Of course it was an expensive nightmare to get it since it's a sToRe ExClUsIvE, but it was worth it in the end. This is easily his best figure so far, much better than the Elite 73. After a lower leg swap to make him taller, this figure is damn near perfect.
Basic 67 Luke Harper Elite 35 Luke Harper - These two figures were my first figures 'back' into collecting full time. I stopped buying figures in 2012 aside from Punk, and the odd wrestler I was a fan of (RVD, Cesaro, Shield) but still kept up with figure news etc... So in early 2017, I started buying again and these two Harper's were the first back. I only really bought the Basic so i could swap the head onto the Elite, but after I had both figures in hand, plans changed a bit. I wanted to keep the Elite the way it was and have it be my 'first' Harper figure, and the Basic was fun to play around with. Eventually I bought another Elite 35 so I could do the headswap, which turned out great.
I guess I could say these two figures are the reason why I'm still collecting today. I had a job & money to buy the figures I missed out on over the years, and all the new releases I wanted. Now, I have two Detolf's with 5 of the shelves for Wrestling figures of specific collections (Ruthless Aggression, Harper, Hardyz, Punk, and Razor/Hall), and a tub under my bed full of the odd figures I've bought over the past few years. I need a third Detolf so i can split my Ruthless Aggression display up into Raw/SD/ECW, add my Ohno/Hero's onto a shelf, and use any remaining shelves for some odd extra figures.

I was extremely excited to get E57 Tye Dillinger all 3 times. Acquiring SES Punk was also exhilarating.

I got two answers
Figure I saw and immediately wanted and was so excited to order / when it come was kotr Bret - my favourite wrestler at the peak era of my fandom and a great figure
Random figure I saw in shops and couldn’t wait to purchase to open and see it it’s full glory: fashion police elites. Imo one of if not the best figures Mattel have made at the elite price point

That's a hard one.
Finding Hasbro Rockers 2-Pack in 1992 or something like that.
Finding a Hasbro Bret and Undertaker when a Toys R Us opened in town.
Finding the Megazord in like 1993. The shelf was empty, I asked, and they had one in the back. It was my birthday.
Edit:
I also remember going to a KB Toys like two hours from home and finding whatever the Jakks BCA set it was that had a Cactus Jack.

This was the first fig since starting collecting as an adult that genuinely gave me the same excitement going to the store to get it as I used to get when I was a kid going to TRU with my parents.
