So when elite 9/10 went up for pre order, I sold all my basics and decided I was only gonna focus on elites. Then elite 9 came and I became extremely bored, so I started to rebuild my basics. This is what I grabbed this week from various stores.

This is why I never sell my toys. ;D
Are you going to buy every basic you had and sold or just some favorites?

I love basics and elites both. I see value to collecting both styles myself so I won't ever sell any of either line. I'm glad you were able to track down some good stuff while rebuilding your collection. I still need that B10 Ziggler myself. Congrats on a good haul.

Kind of sucks, 'cause when you think about it, you probably got half of what you paid for each of your old basics, and now you're re-buying them at full price. So it's a lose-lose  . Still good figs though. |

I know how you feel as I've tried to stick to Elites then got a few Basics... leading me to selling them and telling myself 'JUST STICK TO ELITES DAMN IT!' haha Great pics though  |

I just get bored waiting for elites. I use to buy like every basic fig, even if I didn't like the scan, like ppv2 miz, b6 miz, and 2pks7 miz. But I really only loved 2 pks7, so I'm gonna only try to buy my fav of that fig, except my fav guys like Cena and jomo I'll buy differant scans and attires

I'm actually finding myself to favor Basics over Elites. More attires, cheaper, etc.
I think that I'll still buy Elites, but only if I really like the figure. Basics are a better economical choice for me.

At the beginning of Mattel I sold off a few basics thinking I wouldn't want them since I had newer/updated attires. But now I regret selling most of them and have tried to trade for some of them back. It happens.
It only makes sense to buy both Elites & Basics-they're the same scale plus not all the same characters are released. Glad you came 'back to basics'.

Yeah I know what you mean. Thank God I prefer basics cause I'd hate to wait so long just to update my collection.

I guess everyone has their personal preferences and there does seem to be good and bad points about both styles.
Elite's for me are the better choice as with each figure you get full, coloured tattoos, better articulation and of course championship belts. However what I don't like is how they're wearing the accessories in the packaging (Edge, Kofi, The Miz) and being a MOC collector it really does make you feel like opening them sometimes.
A plus point with Basics is sometimes I feel they get the better headscan (Basic 5 Cena, OTL CM Punk) and as someone previously stated... they are released quicker than the Elite line. The things that put me off with Basics - Less detail on tattoos, Logos on awkward joints causing them to look messed up and some of them have the legs so close together.
I can definitely see why people collect both, if they can afford it then awesome!
