Everything except the bum half of E46, Dudleys, and GS exclusive Brock. IMO that Brock is the biggest waste of time figure this year. My bro got me the game on black friday as an early x-mas gift (waiting till boxing day for all the dlc to go on sale) and if the exclusive had been a goldberg figure - let's say Oldberg even as to still have the dm figure - in a package with the game (as a pre-order) I would have bought that. Even if it was just on it's own I might just have bought the oldberg, but that Lesnar is just a wasted opportunity. Useless, weak and unnecessary.

Thanks for playing btw guys. Great feedback on this one. Keep em coming...
NOW go look at the figs you all bought, take a minute and breathe in the awesomeness cuz y'all got some figs I'm DYING to get. I can complain about matty till the cows come home but they do make a LOT of magic and when they'e on point they're on point.
I wonder if Bill actually pays for any figs lol? Anyways, while this was the worst year for retail I've ever seen...the figs released were awesome, the ones coming next year look out of this world and I'm sure that's what kept most of us hanging on. I can't wait for Brutus, after that Kurt's my only other MUST HAVE fig left.

I only know because I dusted them last night, but I've bought in the neighborhood of 15-20 this year. Almost all were on clearance. I collect more basics than Elites, mainly because the collection is for my son, and Elites are expensive. I buy Elites more for myself. I can't pick my three favorites I bought this year, so I'm choosing 5. Deal with it. 1. Lost Legends Warrior - the quintessential Warrior IMO 2. HOF 3 Macho King - my first Macho Man figure 3. Elite 38 Macho Man - this and NWO Mach are from when I watched wrestling the most, WCW era. 4. Spotlight Big Bossman - my goal is to recreate my old hasbro collection with modern updates, this one was perfect. 5.Doink - He was the one Hasbro I never got my hands on as a kid, but this figure was amazing. Honorable Mentions - Elite 38(?) DDP and Debut Rock (blue chipper) both really well done and my favorite iterations of those icons. Really looking forward to my list for next year: Foleys, Pipers, Machos. I love all them lol. Just think that e38 macho needed a shirt. I absolutely love doink - brilliant figure and that warrior was the clincher for me when I started. Kamala was first but when I had that warrior moc I was like DAMN these are the coolest wwe figures EV-ER! I love that warrior. I remember back in the day when the last wave of ljns came out and I got warrior and I was so happy but his color scheme was totally underwhelming. On tv he was colorful and vibrant and full of energy and that fig was so blah... I loved that fig anyways though.

If you wanna participate cool, if not beat it! I'm just being Curious George right now so to satisfy my curiosity... which figs - elite only - did you buy this year, retail or online and where are you located. Separate them into retail and online pls too. Thanks y'all, like I said I'm just curious to comparisons and if you feel like it - pick your 3 favs. Or just tell me to F off cuz you've got better things to do lol So I'm in Ontario, CA Retail: e39 Sting (double for tna sting) e39 Sid (double for basic head swap) Hof Macho King Hof Ted Dibiase Hof Jimmy Hart Heenan Family DM Stone Cold e40 Irs e40 Umaga e40 Ravishing Rick Rude Walgreen's D-X Hbk tru Hunter Hearst Helmsley tru Ringmaster tru HBK WM undertaker Online: NOD the Rock RSC's Scott Hall Legends Roddy Piper scc Shockmaster DM Sting RSC's HBK e41 1-2-3 Kid e41 Lita e41 Terry Funk DM Warrior Now that's probably a decent amount of figs...but for the year? I'm not sure. I'm hungry for more lol Top 3: RSC HBK (aside from his crap stained pants), Shockmaster & Rick Rude (he looks just like the hasbro one except for the purple). My first hasbro's were Hogan, Dibiase, Jake & Rude. Rude's head punching action was the best one. Let's see what y'all got...

2nd. Hands DOWN, shockmaster. It's amazing. I paid about 120$ for Hall - sold a bunch of ebay stuff so it wasn't all out of pocket, I only ended up paying 45$ - but I don't feel like the money vs the figure was worth it. I NEEDED that Hall (just like Sting and Nash eventually),my collection had to have it lol but it's a good fig not GREAT imo. Shockmaster cost me 60$ and I don't care at all. He was worth every penny. He looks SO good on the shelf. That and I think I got like 10 actual new figures ALL YEAR...so I'm not qualified for the thread LOL I'm gonna amend this - Shockmaster for flashback and demon balor for current. I think each should have a category. And diva..? I have no pick lol

I think loose is better. I hate people who think they can make money on MOC figures I bought 4 packs of Enzo and Cass thinking my sons would want two of them. They didn't. I ended up selling 3 of the 4 on EBay for $60 each. Needless to say that all of that profit will go back into buying more figs for myself...lol. If I can make money I will, so I can put the money into buying more figs. Now was there a bidding war to get to 60$ or did you just bend people over for the holidays?

I like to display my figs in a curio cabinet (I have other collectible things in there as well) and to display a box would not look right in there. Plus posing them would be impossible. Each to their own I just don't like the way it looks. For selling purposes it is the way to go though, which is why I do save them in case my kids want to sell them down the road. I gotta say on having a year to reflect... I don't like these red boxes at all. I like the way the artwork for the wrestlers is used (on the front side n back, and the new logos for each category, and the stats) but I don't like the package itself. I think I liked the smaller blue boxes best. I just got my 1-2-3 kid in the mail (woohoo!) and I still have my scott hall box out...the scott hall box is just dope and and the red box just doesn't for me. I'm glad their changing it. Also for all the MOC collectors - c'mon isn't the inside of Magnum's Package tha shit? It's sick, I dunno why Bill doesn't have that background for all flashbacks. Nothing beats the Legends packaging. It was beautiful., absolutely beautiful.

Just woke up from a nap and read this thread I miss read the title, for some reason I thought the figs in the pic were being sold at wwe.com. and with that ok...this one is from...when Jerry split on George & Mr. Peterman at the restaurant?

What are you talking about? A search on shop.wwe.com for "Sting" or "Ringside" results in no figures being sold. Just woke up from a nap and read this thread I miss read the title, for some reason I thought the figs in the pic were being sold at wwe.com. and with that Brilliant. (that's when Kramer kissed Jerry right?)

I currently collect MOC. Eventually I'm going to open them all at once...I'm up to about 50 figures, once I get to 100 I'm going to open them all up. One after the other, more then likely I'll record it and put it on YouTube. I'd advise against that. Open em one at a time or just one wave at a time. Everyone is different but I like to save a fig for a rainy day or when I'm depressed (I have manic depression)... I don't know what it is but a toy still makes me happy - and in this shitty world. I don't question it.

OK I'm just comment on the choices so far Big John - great fig BUT could have been an elite with a Robe. In a perfect word Haku would be in that pack instead and BJS would be an elite w/robe. I love the fig but I miss the robe... DM Macho - great as is BUT the headscan should have AT LEAST been the 2nd open mouth one and he could have come with a shirt too (not should) Mankind - this is perfect from what I can tell Doink - perfect fig BUT could (not should) have a had a coat...AND lots of peeps complained about the paint aps (me included lol) L6 Warrior - Love this fig. It's perfect BUT it could have come with the right belt. Kamala - great fig, missing his spear and for some reason that REALLY pisses me off. Magnum t.a. - don't have him but from the looks the red kneepads seem to be a choice among us to replace so yeah, he gets perfect. a figure nobody else has - speaktomewarrios can kiss all our asses LOL (that fig looks f'n perfect) Christian - NICE call. Yup he perfect too. SES Punk - I'll say ok. Don't have em but can't see anything wrong with the fig. Flash Rey Rey - YUP. This fig is gold. Legends Demolition - ok here's where I take crap on a selection. No. Their heights are wrong so right away. No. Godfather - he was really god but the color scheme I didn't care for tbh (green on green?) and his cheap little chain that is all one color even the inside of the words and his cheaply unpainted cane...nah I wouldn't say he was 'perfect'. Great fig still. Shockmaster - HELLS YEAH that's a perfect fig! Good one. LOVE that fig. RSC Bret - I love this fig but the big kneepads, plain shades, just OK headscan...perfect? Just slightly no...LOVE that fig though. LOD - I almost gave you this one, BUT their shoulderpads are very sparsely painted (imo a crap job) but the figs themselves are great. R-truth - YUP. That fig is amazing. I'm going with JYD - you couldn't have made the kid in me any happier that when I got JYD. Brutus is the fig I've been waiting for most (along with a complete piper and an angle). Throw in Hollywood and there's my top 5 fav wrestlers...so I'm def going with the dog. He's perfect. remember PERFECTION means NOTHING to complain about lol Thing is, when I bought most of those figures I didn't have anything to complain about. Well isn't life without standards great Ignorance is bliss they say.
