Two things 1. Some of the folks need to learn from Bruce about licking butthole. They would still be there. 2. WWE 2k21 - SMALLEST ROSTER IN A DECADE! WWE 2k21 may be canceled too.
WWE CRUSH HOUR 2, BAYBAY!!!

I had to think about this one for a while.
My first two that I got were Randy Savage and George Steele, from a local (SW Idaho) department store called King's.
My next one was Muraco, which I got from Woolworth's.
My fourth LJN fig was the One Man Gang. I got him when Toys 'R Us opened their first store in Idaho (in Boise). I had enough money for one fig, and they had a BUNCH. I remember wanting a Honky Tonk Man, but not having found one, I settled for OMG. The only others different ones I remember seeing were Hacksaw Duggan, Koko B. Ware & Bam Bam Bigelow. Wish I would have picked up the Bigelow instead! I've always found OMG to be too small.
I remember in 1991 or so, a local consolidation store had a bunch (about 20 or so) Ultimate Warriors for $3 each. Still kicking myself for not buying at least one.

Did a little better on the '88 quiz (86 out of 101). No matter how many different variations of Brutus Beefcake I typed, it wouldn't accept it for some reason. Beyond that, the biggest names I missed were Junkyard Dog and Bad News Brown. I missed mostly jobbers.

Bah, only got 71. I would have got more if I knew how to correctly spell some of these (such as Zhukov or Doherty, for example).
On another note, what's the BIGGEST name that you'd forgotten? I forgot about both Rougeau Brothers (which were two of my favorites at the time). Ugh.

Looks like Peter and Egon are gone. Ray & Winston are also sold out. Hope that everyone here got what they needed!

Anyone know what the price point of the Kenner GB line is going to be?

So I saw earlier in this thread that within the Spinmaster 4" line that future lineups would have more villains (some lower-tier). Anyone have a list (rumored or official)? Thanks in advance!
Also, I picked up the single-packed Killer Croc. Not impressed with the molded, unpainted wrist tape. Had to tell myself that he ran out of white tape and could only find green at his nearest hardware store.

Hmmm... Good question. I'll go with:
Stalker, Flint, Lady Jaye, Cobra Commander and Storm Shadow.

Has anyone ordered the PWT grab bag recently? Just curious as to which random figs are being sent out these days (the description reads "overstock", but not sure if that means current or previous figs).

I bought a general release WWE case of 12 from Amazon when they had gone down to $45. I received it yesterday. Not only had the case been opened and taped back up, but also all four blind boxes had been opened and taped back up. Here's what I got: 01. Nakamura (1/12 red pants) 02. Nakamura (1/24 black pants) 03. Sting (1/24) 04. Undertaker (1/12) 05. Reigns (1/6) 06. Savage (1/12 purple trunks) 07. Balor (1/12 red) 08. Styles (1/12) 09 (blind box). Cena (1/6) 10 (blind box). Cena (1/6) 11 (blind box). Lesnar (1/6) 12 (blind box). Lesnar (1/6) None of them have the build-a-ring pieces. You sending it back? That's pretty bogus everything was opened. That was my fear when I saw those cases for sale. It's too easy for someone to order and return them and for Amazon to just sell them to the next person. Nah, I could do a LOT worse than both 1/24s, all 5 1/12s and just two set of doubles. When I saw that the case had been opened, I was expecting the worst (which would be 4 X Lesnar, 4 X Reigns & 4 X Cena).

I'm obviously a big Loyal Subjects man (just ordered a case of WWE from Amazon), so they got my vote. 2nd is Mystery Minis, as I have over half of them. I don't own any Micro Brawlers, but I think that they're cool.

My daughter and I met the Miz at a Cricket Wireless signing a couple of years back. We were told ahead of time that we could only get one item signed per person, and that staff would be taking pictures (again, one per person). He was a cool dude and genuinely happy to meet everyone who turned out for him (I'm pretty sure he was heel at the time, also). However, the staff member that took the pics was terrible! Both of our pics were blurry. https://www.instagram.com/p/BaLDn_2jptD Right on! I believe Charlotte Flair is at this one. I just wasn’t sure I have a new born that I’ve been building a collection for and wanted her to have a belt signed as well. Are the stores usually packed? Heck, the Miz signed a loose action figure of himself for a kid, so I'll bet that no one would have a problem with signing a belt. For that particular meet 'n greet, we waited about 45 minutes to get up to the front. Quite a few people, but not too bad for a free sign/pic/meet opportunity.
