Hey guys. I posted my collection awhile back, and it is pretty extensive, and I was original planning on completing the entire Classic Line, as well as RA figs of Classic guys, but I have had a change of heart since.
It bothers me that the CS package says collect your favorite stars of the 70's, 80's and 90's, but then they proceed to produce modern versions of Cena, Big Show, Edge, Orton, DiBiase, Helms, Piper & Austin & it really bothers me.
To make a long story short, or to stop rambling, I'm thinking of streamlining my collection by cutting out WWE Attitude Era figures post 1996 & WCW figures post Outsiders/NWO.
Has anyone done this or something similar?

no
i only get the ones i want,
i suggest you do the same, other wise you'll see a fig you like from the certain era, that your not collecting from. regret not buying it 3 years later, and end up spending more than you wanted to on it on ebay.

Well jakks started CS in the early 000's so at that time, the 70s/80s/90s were 'classic' but its now 2010 and the attitude era (prior to 2002) is now quite a while back and is gradully become more and more 'classic'. The packaging description probably just reflects what was classic at the time. Id say most stuff after 02 probably arent too desrving to be in there.

^Cena/Edge/Big Show from WM25 was released as a CS 6 months after the event.

My collection is based on the NWA/WCW. I started off just collecting my favorites. Eventually, I started collecting anyone who was in NWA or WCW (unless I really, really hated you, like the Nasty Boys). I also have two shelves of my favorites from the WWF.
I have a few recent wrestlers in my collection. Kofi Kingston, Batista, biker Taker, retirement Flair, Samoan tattoo Rock, Monty Brown (I loved his wrestling in TNA), Brock Lesnar. I want to add Orton, but I gave my shaved head, tattooed custom to my son, and have to do another one.
As a side note, I never get tired of seeing PJ's collection (though it always bothers me that the only version of Big Dust that I see is from that whole unfortunate polka dot gimmick).

There's the CS13 Dusty there also. He's in the first pic (wearing the cowboy hat) behind Hogan. (Only CS10 Dusty lost his spot) |

June, I kinda thought that the CS line started to suck, after they started putting non-classic sets in... I mean, they might as well have put in the previous weeks Smackdown main event as a 2 pack!
They really should have kept the CS series as just that -- classic superstars! The WM25 3 pack did consist of good figures... but they didn't belong in the CS line.
My collection consists of figures of only CLASSIC superstars -- lots of Ultimate Warriors, lots of Hulk Hogans, and a 1/100 Piper.
God bless.

With his hat on like that, I couldn't see him. I literally posted that like "I bet there's a Dusty in those pics that I just don't see." |

I try not to bother with repaints, and instead focus on getting one of each person. The exception being different gimmicks (Akeem/OMG, Shango/Godfather), or vastly different attires (CS Chris Jericho, early RA Jericho, and current RA Jericho all have a place in my collection). Keeps it simple, and gives me a wide range of wrestlers to choose from!

my goal is to complete the Entire Classic line.
I have most of CS 1 - 18. After that they stopped comming to canada so I have to rely on the internet and trades on the classifieds
