So do you know the debauchery that goes on in a hogan tent? Well do ya, brother? I was at my buddy's Hogan tent and he had one Hulk Hogan Elite 34 mint in box marked for 70 bucks. As we were talking some guy asked if he could see so my buddy says sure and hands him the box, while that guy is looking at the figure another dude walks up and says I will give you 90 for it as the other guy was still checking the figure out LOL So the other guys says I will give you 95 lol and all of a sund a bidding war breaks out, long story short the dude that walked in bought the figure for 160 bucks! lol Any of you guys see anything crazy like this in regard to WWE Mattel figures and I'm not talking about the insane prices on ebay lol.

You can laugh at the OP all you want, but camping outside stores is a central aspect of suburban commando training.

Camp out? Dude that's pathetic there's no way around it. Go to the store an hour early and just be the first to the door. Yikes.

Can’t wait for someone to post in the Q&A thread a question asking if we should camp out in front of stores. Every time I see that a new post was made in that thread, my heart breaks more and more for Steve. That man is a saint for dealing with some of those questions.

Look, at this point I'm pretty sure this guy is doing these threads for the memes but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the insanity that always seems to follow.
I needed this tonight. It's been a rough night and this was the laugh I needed. Thanks so much all of you. (Yes that includes you OP)
That said, in all seriousness, I think I can say that I have "camped out".
Once. For all of an hour.
It was when the AEW figures were still impossible to find in stores (even more so than now) and I found a hit overnight on Brickseek for a case at my walmart. First time I had ever seen anything showing them in the area. So, about an hour before the store opened for the day, I threw my stuff on, got in the car, and went and sat in the Walmart parking lot until about 10 minutes before opening. And at that point I went and stood by the door, waiting to go in.
I was one of five people standing by that door and, by the time I got back to the toy aisle on my beep beep cart, half the case was already missing, scooped up by the people who entered before me and booked it.
I bought the Riho, btw. Left the Bucks for the next person.
So yes, I can honestly say I've camped for a figure. But it was only for an hour and, in the end, it didn't really matter because that Riho figure rotted so hard anyway that I could have picked her up cheaper elsewhere at a later point.

Camped out?? No …..I would order it online somewhere & have it delivered first, it may cost a bit more but that’s not as bad as embarrassing myself ….sorry dude that’s just crazy

I know this is just a bit from the OP bit still….. the only thing that comes close I guess was I went and queued up for Halo 3’s midnight launch. But that was a planned event with hundreds of other people, we got given stuff and was great fun. Not me on my own, for a solitary action figure.

Me and the wife went to midnight launch for black ops 2. 10 years ago. But that's not camping.
And no, I would never camp for a figure. Lol

I remember in 1999, seeing a bunch of dudes camped out at a TRU waiting to get the Disney Tarzan figure that was getting recalled lol

Definitely do this. Camp out for an action figure. Why go to the hassle of ordering it online? Remembering passwords...clicking buttons... You're here posting on a wrestling figure website forum. Why bother yourself ordering it from here? I support you and your decision. Good luck in finding a basic Hogan, BROTHER!

I used to go to Asda at midnight when the new Pro Evolution Soccer was being released. Simpler times.

How is this thread still going on?! because the troll/parody threads deserve to stay open while threads that could be informative are locked before discussion can happen

If the figures important to you why not just pay the extra and get it delivered to your house from ringside
