Where it all started…

I started collecting 20 plus years ago, my first collection was WCW Galoobs figures, I always wanted to collect carded only for all my collections as that was the more challenging and harder to find items.  I never waited for a line to be complete before moving onto the next collection to start, yeah I know crazy isn’t it but I see something I like and for the right price I had to have it (the chase is the thrill).  It always comes down to price lol, as alot of you will remember and most likely been in the same boat as a child, a lot of these items we now own on our own and not have to share them with our siblings for them too chew the arms off or leave them out in the garden for the lawn mower to take lol.

Star Wars was up next on the hit list (gutted that my parents sold the star wars out of the attic at a Car boot sale many years ago) I just had to get them back this time around carded only and by no means this is wasn’t and still is not a easy task.  As we moved on we now had WCW Galoobs and Star Wars nearly there to where I wanted them, arise the WWF Hasbros wrestling figures.  I was always a WCW guy so as I had the WWF figures as a kid yes but we never got to watch it much unless I was nipping round my wealthy mates house who had cable lol I was stuck watching the WCW wrestling on Normal TV.

From there, things just snowballed. The collections grew, the room started to shrink, and the stories… well, let’s just say there are plenty of those still to tell another day.

And that’s exactly why we created The Whole Shebang to share this passion with fellow collectors, help you find your own treasures, and make sure every item is treated with the same care and excitement as if it were our own.
