Rep Power: 28 | I tend to buy ones of wrestlers I really like, or if one of them is really well made. I especially like the Classics series. I have Bret, Ric Flair, and I was supposed to get the Ultimate Warrior from my ex-girlfriend for my birthday in August, but it's still sat in her bedroom. | Tomorrow's Just An Excuse Away, So I Pull My Collar Up And Face The Cold, On My Own.

Rep Power: 47 | I had a bunch that I've had since I was a little kid. My 11-year old brother plays with them, but he's getting too old for them now | | |

Rep Power: 17 | Ya I collect them. But I collect the old ones from the early 90's, and I only buy them if they are still mint in the package, so I can display them on the wall. | | |

Rep Power: 5 | I've never bought any figures for myself or anyone else. About 5 years ago, I had an ex-girlfriend buy me a Stepanie McMahon figure because I always said jokingly that I was going to marry Steph (this was before she got buff and married HHH). Anywho, she thought it was a funny gift but I didn't think so and I've never taken it out of the package.
I've also got an Andre figure was free at GameStop, with the purchase of Smackdown vs. Raw for PS2. Its pretty cool but, again, I didn't take it out of the package.
I've seen enough eBay auctions to know that everything is worth more in the package!!! | | :guns: :redbounce :bounce: |

Rep Power: 24 | Stuff like that will never be worth much more than what you pay for it in our life time because of how much stuff is mass produced these days. I bet the mexican wrestling figures would even be worth more in time. | | |

Rep Power: 17 | Andre the Giant and Dusty Rhodes are worth $200 each, mint in package. They are currently worth the most from the Hasbro line. There's also a mailaway Bret Hart figure that's worth around $150, last time I checked. | | |

Rep Power: 10 | Have some, still collect them, but mostly do what Bouchie does, keep them in the package and hang them on the wall. My favourite one I have is Classic Undertaker. | | Support Your Local Indy Wrestling - BITCH!! |
