My parents and I were super smart about this stuff and I ended up with reasonable replacements. Theyd explain to me how I wasn't gonna get the crazy top of the line new things, but they scoured yard sales and the like for other cool stuff for me. I had a huge GI Joe base that folded out of some kind, the Ghostbusters house, The Jungle Fiver, a power rangers Zord ripoff, and piles of the smaller scale vehicles. So I ended up mixing my action figures to the point of not worrying about any one specific thing I had to have.
My collection was just spread across joes, Star Wars, transformers, street fighter, mortal kombat, x-men, spiderman, tmnt, wrestlers, and toxic crusaders, with other things here and there.
Taught me a lot about valuing what I did have, so I was never one of those kids who damaged their own stuff or really went nuts wants my things.
That being said, my dad stepped on my Colossus, shattering him into a bunch of pieces. I never saw another one again, but I looked all the time. That and the hunt to replace Joes who's middle band broke.

Soundwave. I always wanted him but for some reason or another I never got him. Gotta be honest, I have considered paying the $300 for a masterpiece Soundwave. You can find the set that includes cassettes for around 200 and under on eBay. I've seen it a few times.

I still have admiral keel haul I got it the year it came out. That year I knew of at least 10 other kids that got it at my school.A collector friend of mine now has 5 of them.3 are complete. He got all of them at yardsales in the mid to late 90s. So yes people owned them back then.
