Mikeymike83 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Where are the best (read cheapest!) places for the wwe retro line? After purchasing all series 2 and 3, I'm now seeing the rest roundabout the £13 each mark. Is this standard seeing as they weren't on release over here...? If so, best websites to buy from? Until seeing these I've never been tempted by figures. Nostalgia rules. I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestlingshop.com or Smyths are best bets unless you chance Home Bargains getting Series 4 onwards down the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted February 21, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 21, 2019 Doing a free to enter competition on twitter and will be adding numerous figures to the prize pot. https://mobile.twitter.com/grapplearcade/status/1098318200025112576 I’ve just added these Japanese mini big heads, still sealed in bags. I remember buying loads of these years ago with the hope of using the heads for Hasbro customs.

Daaaaaad! Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Since last week's New York Toy Fair showed off loads of stuff (as established in this thread) we've gone through it in detail on this week's podcast, as well as looking at what I can honestly say are some of the most fascinating older bits of merchandise from WCW known as Ring Masters. Pictures for the 'read (watch?) along' section can be found at instagram.com/royalgrumblepod - please give it a listen, tell us what you think and if we should do it again - my co-host and friend Daryl is a massive figure collector so I know he'd be keen to do more.

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted March 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) We’ve just uploaded the 2nd episode of ‘Hands Off The Merchandise’ where we try and complete an empty 1992 WWF sticker album with 65 packets of sealed stickers. We’re running a huge competition including Hasbro figures, pin badges, sealed packs of stickers, via the pinned tweet @GrappleArcade So the point of the show is nostalgic wrestling tat. We’ve got garages full of it and a lot of it new/old stock. A chunk of which are figures. I mean you get a taster of the absurd amount of stuff we have from the intro video, it barely scratches the surface. So my question to you lot is, whether you collected figures or not, which line did you like the best (apart from Hasbro)? Now I know it’s going to be influenced by age in most cases, but there’s a hell of a lot of lines if you count Japanese lines, WCW lines, ECW, Lucha, indy, JAKKS, Mattel etc etc. We want a bit of feedback as we’ll be adding more prizes to the pot.  Nice one!

MungoChutney Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) The Jakks line on the bottom right was the first I collected rather than played with. They had some excellent figures in that range until they got to the Titantron Live era and they went a bit shite until the first Legends series came out. I have to say though the current Basics and Elite series from Mattel have both had some absolutely storming figures. Edited March 9, 2019 by MungoChutney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far much more of an appreciation now. Hugely like the mini jakks figs & sets that came out however.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannibal Man Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I've still got the Sid figure from that set somewhere but the rest fell apart because they were fucking two bob plastic. For a while he had a paper mask and vest on me and my brother made to make him the FTC Man from the Billionaire Ted skits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Callum1993 Posted March 10, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted March 10, 2019 I can remember having both of those mini figures sets as a kid. Think I vaguely remember a set with a dumpster as well with Cactus Jack and the Outlaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Hamptons Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I've got a load of figures I bought about 10 years ago, a few "limited editions" Tazz Jakks Pacific WWE Classic Superstars (Exclusive) Taz Action Figure https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000GLHN8A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_5EoHCb76DXW90 Mick Foley https://goo.gl/images/6mig1E  Mankind https://goo.gl/images/JSyxXc This one is signed by Mick.. But he signed it Cactus Jack.. Even after asking him to sign it mankind... ? Are they worth much? All are boxed and have been looked after, none have been in direct sunlight.. I see silly prices for them online which can't be right?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however think that this will all crash on around 5-10 years or so, when our generation of nostalgia collectors has its fill. The younger generation will be nostalgically collecting Titus O’Neil Elite figures by then. Look at completed/sold listings on eBay rather than what people are wanting for them.
