When my son was 9, him and I watched wrestling constantly and collected figures together. Fast forward to now and he's 11, and could not care less about wrestling. Won't even really watch it with me. It saddens me, but I also realize he's growing and experiencing lots of new things. One day, he may come back around and love it again, or he may not. My hope is that when he's older and has a family of his own, he'll surprise me with tickets to a live event and I'll be able to pass the love of wrestling down to my grandkids.

I use Photobucket. It's free and works great. Here's how to do it:
- After you upload a pic to Photobucket, view the uploaded photo and look to the right of it. There will be a header that says "SHARE LINKS".
- Click the last one that says "IMG" and it will automatically copy the link for you.
- Write your post on these forums and wherever you want the image to appear just "paste" the link.
- You can see a preview of your post by choosing the "preview" tab to see if it worked.

EDIT: After reading through all the posts, sounds like this photo may not be allowed. My apologies to the MODs. I've removed it to keep the thread alive.

Same thing happened on E24 Rey. The "teeth" on his face paint didn't line up on his mouth.

This is an interesting topic. We have yet to see if the newer releases of Tully and Yoko will drive down the prices of the originals. So far with the WM Kane, I haven't noticed it make a difference on the E12 Kane value. So although it's another great chance for collectors who missed out the first time to get these figures in their collection, I'm not sure it'll drive the value of the originals down.
My hope is that everybody could win from it. Value stays high on the originals, but at least collectors have a chance to get their favorite wrestlers in their collection.

With two more RSC exclusives on the horizon (Flashback HBK and American Made Hogan), it got me thinking about how many we've gotten so far. And overall, I think Mattel and RSC have done a great job of giving us some cool exclusives. So I'm curious, which RSC Exclusive do you feel has been the best one to date? Not the most valuable, just simply the best made exclusive so far.
After looking through the list, there's a few for me that rank up at the top. In my opinion, removable mask Kane, Stone Cold, Cactus Jack, and SES Punk are all worthy of the top spot. Let's see what this community thinks!
EDIT: I forgot Macho King! I knew I was forgetting something. Anyway to edit the poll?

I will always love stories like these. Such a great feeling to get a great deal on a great figure.

I'd say if you love the old legends and like the look of the figures, go for it. $10 a figure seems like a fair price. If you can get them all for $75 then I'd say you both got a good deal.
The figures themselves aren't the greatest looking, but there's always something cool about getting figures of legends.

Did you ever get it fixed? Yep. soaked it in hot water, popped the hips off, and put them back on the right way. Ended up being fine. |

I remember somebody had a Diesel with a backwards ass. Sadly, it was me. I call it, "The Butt Crotch".   |

I can understand being upset about Bearer but Kane's still the newest set and he's not even hit the UK yet! Y'all need to have a KitKat and chill the hell out! Mmmmmmm KitKat. |

Wow, that's cool to see! So how many figures total is one of every superstar released to date?

So basically you can buy a cool basic warrior with a dull eagle belt as an accessory. Or, a cool basic warrior with John Cena as an accessory.
I wish I would have known this was coming out before buying a Battlepack.

Target on RT 59 in Naperville/Aurora (near Portillos) has the Hall of Fame set. Didn't see a Trish but they had a Slaughter, Warrior and Austin. As of 1:00pm today.

I'v never been a fan of Zbyszko. But I'd buy an old school figure of him to go with Bruno. An AWA belt would be awesome too.
