Okay, so I’ve been collecting WWE action figures for a while now, and I always get asked where’s the best place to get them. So, I figured I’d just run through my usual process and where I’ve had the most luck.
First, I started by just checking the obvious places. I mean, everyone knows the big stores, right?
- I hit up the toy sections of the big supermarkets. You know, the ones everyone goes to. Sometimes you get lucky and find some basic figures, but it’s pretty hit or miss.
- Then, I’d swing by the bigger department stores. Their selection is usually a little better, maybe some of the more current wrestlers, but still not a ton of variety.
After that, I realized I needed to get a little more specific. I started looking at stores that specialize in toys and collectibles.
- I checked out some local toy stores. These can be goldmines! Sometimes they have older figures, even some rare ones, but it totally depends on the store. You gotta be willing to dig around.
- I also looked into hobby shops. Comic book stores, places like that. They sometimes have a small selection of figures, often the more collector-focused ones. Again, it’s all about luck.
Moving Online for Better finds
Finally I decided to go online. You get more detail, more choice, and do not need to spend so much time and gas.
- I have spent a lot of time using online shopping platforms. It is very convenient to buy figures, and I found it is good at the basic version, but not very good for the limited edition.
- I also tried some online platform which sell collectible things. It is really amazing. People sell rare figures they have collected for years, some of them are never opened!
So, that’s my usual routine! It’s a mix of checking the big stores, hunting through smaller shops, and scouring the online marketplaces. The best place really depends on what you’re looking for – a new release, a specific wrestler, or a rare collectible. Just be prepared to put in a little effort, and you’ll build up a pretty cool collection!
