    Only time I think the numbers would matter to me is if they had a personal meaning to me like the year I was born or something along those lines. The chuckle factor would be to hard to pass up.

      For the most part I have been opening the figures anyways for custom fodder. I do have some I have decided to keep in the package because once taken out you sorta forget who they are (Charlies Angels).

      I was really hoping to find some early releases this weekend but down in Texas there really is no chance. From what I have gathered most action figure early releases come from the "New England" or Northern states for some reason. One would think it would be Cali that would get them early since they come from China (for the majority of action figures).

        ^ I thought Texas was the first to put out wave 1. Or maybe I am confusing with DC Imaginext wave 5. Cannot find those little suckers anywhere!

        I guess it would be cool if you bought a Sulu and he was number 1701 of the run. Ha!

          I don't care about the numbers, but yes, I'd love to have a Star Trek figure numbered 1701. That's the only exception. You read my mind...

            I'm in Texas and I found wave one a week before they were suppose to be out. Really just comes down to luck.

                    Honestly, I don’t get all of the obcession with sticker numbers. Is it because you believe the lower the number the more value the figure has? If so, more power to you, but that’s the SUPER LONG game. Buy the figures and enjoy them...that’s my philosophy.
                    As I said in my post, I know it doesn't matter. I'm OCD about numbers. I always have been. When I'm sitting around waiting for something, I compulsively count things. I do needless math in my head all the time. I really can't explain it. Some numbers just feel right for whatever reason.

                    In this particular case, 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 sounds like a launch. Sulu was a helmsman. I know no one else in the universe cares, but to me, it's cool.

                    I wouldn't pay more for a Mego because of the number...at least I don't think I would -Haha! But, no, it doesn't have anything to do with thinking they will be worth more because of certain numbers. It's just my personal preference.

                      I happened to get a 502 Hendrix. I googled it to see if it was in any way significant. Turns out there's a Hendrix album with 502 as part of the serial number, but that seems to be it.

                        I do this kind of stuff all the time. I also try to "even out" numbers. Like if a house number is 3527 I try to add or subtract the numbers so they even out, or only have a difference of 2 or less. For that number I'd add the 3 and 5 to get 8, and the 2 and 7 to get 9. The difference is only one so I'd be okay with that. 7 minus 5 and 3 minus 2 results in the same difference. Been doing it since I was a kid.

                          When Greg Brady hits the shelves, someone could also use his shirt to make custom Trip & Malcolm go to Risa figures, from Enterprise. Ha!, Ha!

                                It’s TRUE I just picked up FRANKENSTEIN & the GORN!!
                                Also I don’t know if this is good or bad??
                                But the price has dropped to $12.99 each. And something I had not seen yet.
                                There is a bewitched (Samantha) figure.
                                Looks very nice.
