I could measure my toy collecting life by those figures. I had Forge and Wolverine repelling off my shelf for most of high school, and took Strong Guy and Guido to college. I didn't buy any more until after I flunked out of college and ToyFare came out about four years later. I met my wife in 1997 and had to stop hanging out in bars every night. The KB Toy Liquidator started clearing out the local warehouse and I pieced together everything except the Classic Lightups and a couple of the boxed sets for around $2 or $3 a figure. Then I gave them all away to younger relatives and started again with Spider-Man Classics and Marvel Legends when they came out.

Sauron, Deathbird and the Giant-Sized X-Men boxed set were probably the best.
