I've started officially collection the hasbro line. So far I've gotten Bigboss man, King Macho, Green warrior, bushwhackers, and the first ted dibiase. Also was able to get the retro ring that was released back in 2017. For those of you who already have a collection, or are thinking about starting to collect hasbros. What is the first figure you would grab? Or how would you go about collecting them?

Decide how you want to prioritise your money. Some figures are worth quite a bit. Decide who is most important and who you can live without. Also decide if you want singles or doubles of guys. Do you want to spend money on all the Hogan's, or are you okay with your favourite Hogan so you can put more money towards someone else etc.

Great question. Warrior 2 is probably my favorite of the 3 Warriors released. I’m also a really big fan of the Tatanka figure. The Luger figure and Sid’s figures are also some of my favorite Hasbros. I love LoD, but, I really wish they didn’t have molded shoulder pads. I’m not a really big fan of the figures that were in entrance attires, sadly. They didn’t get much ring time when I was a kid. LoL

My biggest piece of advice is to be patient and look for figures in good condition/complete. There are A LOT of beater Hasbros out there, especially the earlier series. Don't drop the coin on figures you know you're going to have to replace later.
I focused on the HTF figures first (Green cards, Red, etc.) and went from there. My opinion was that if I couldn't find the rarer figures then I didn't want to bother with the line.

Be patient. If you are buying from eBay, check the sellers rating. Check all pictures if they have them.
Personally, I would probably start with some of the rarer/hardest to find ones first as their prices will only get higher as time goes on. Those would be the Series 11 green card set (Yokozuna 2, Crush 3, Borga, Adam Bomb, Bart Gunn, Billy Gunn, 123 Kid), Series 8 red card set (Hitman 2, Taker 2, Luger, Perfect 2, Yokozuna 1, and Bam Bam), Series 3 figures (Brutus 2, Warrior 3), and some of the tag team sets (Demolition Smash & Crush, Nasty Boys, LOD). Series 1 and 2 figures were pretty plentiful so you shouldn't have a hard time finding those figures, except for maybe Andre the Giant, Dusty Rhodes, and Ultimate Warrior 2 (for some reason this figure is hard to find in good condition, either a finger is missing or his nose is).

That’s a really interesting way to look at it The reason I never got into collecting loyal subjects is they do so many 1 of 1 or limited to 15, limited to 50 etc that it’s nigh on impossible to get a full set unless you pay literally thousands |

Been thinking of grabbing some Hasbros myself. Nostalgia factor mainly. Anyone know a good checklist of what was released?

I think most are green tagged or were at some point |
