Guest bigm350 Report post Posted July 10, 2004 After posting about the Big Gold belt in another thread I find myself wanting to possibly purchase a replica belt by Figures Inc. They're around the range of $200 though and I don't know; I've been to a few WWE shows and most of the people I see with these belts in the crowd look like dorks. Do any of you guys have any of these belts and if not, would you get one if you had the money? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boner Kawanger 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2004 I got the kid's size version of the WCW Title for Christmas in 1999 because it was cheap and easily found in toy stores. The novelty wore off pretty fast, but it is neat to have. Nicely made, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do any of you guys have any of these belts and if not, would you get one if you had the money? In the past I've had the WWF Big Eagle, WCW Big Gold (original fig inc version) the WCW TV, US, 2 Tags, and just recently the replica Winged Eagle and Old School IC belt. Plus I also had a scaled down version of the W/E made by Reggie Parks. I'm a collector plus I also use them for feds, but either way though they are pretty sweet to have and good conversational pieces. If you don't want to spend the price, try checking ebay, they usually have belts at a good deal, especially if you don't mind "used" belts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aero 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2004 I've been thinking about buying the big gold belt sooner or later. So, can anyone tell me if it's really worth it to spend an extra $100+ for the deluxe over just the ordinary adult replicas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JohnnySwift Report post Posted July 11, 2004 From what I've heard, the only difference is that the deluxe is heavier and the strap is better immitation leather. The super deluxe is a little heavier with thicker plates and supposedly real leather. Those run you $399 while the regular deluxe are $369. If you don't mind not having the WWE logo go for the WCW Alliance super deluxe and get the real leather. Otherwise, you could get a regular version and see how much it would cost to get it releathered. Check www.championshipleather.com for prices on that.

Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2004 I have an ECW Tag and the WCW US titles. I picked them up in a trade for tapes...if you don't count the time I spent dubbing, and only the tapes and shipping, they probably cost me $40 combined. The US title is nice, but I Storm'd it and put a Canadian sticker on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the max 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2004 I have a kids one if you're interested in buying. I also have kids of: ECW TV ECW Tag (1) WCW TV and an adult replica of the WWF Light Heavyweight Title. Looking to get rid of ALL OF THEM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Buzz 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2004 I got a deluxe one back in the day with a Sting name plate on it. It's pretty cool if you have some place to display it. If not it just takes up room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJMc 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2004 I'd go for the regular Alliance Big Gold. I had one last year and it was really cool because I always wanted some kind of belt. I sold it recently because it was just taking up room, but it was cool for a while. I'm thinking about getting the classic Intercontinental belt with either a white or yellow strap next.

the max 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2004 Old School one. Buy the kids one that I have j/k I'd get the OS one just to say that I didn't support the WWE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bigm350 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 The Old school Big Gold is definitely class. The one WWE uses now is a very nice replica but an original is always better than a copy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JohnnySwift Report post Posted July 22, 2004 Just be careful which version of the WCW Big Gold you get. The first versions had extremely thin plates that were not bent. I had one of the first Big Golds sold (back when they were $125 what I wouldn't give for belts to be that cheap again!!) and the plates looked like they were going to break under any stress. Any version after that is twice as thick and I believe have curved plates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
