Basics and 2 packs - I try to get at least 1 of every person made loose. I have all of first 8 series single pack and first 6 series 2 packs MOC, but I quit with that because it was getting too expensive.
Elites - I only collect MOC, but I do have about 10 loose. I have all of series 1-9 MOC.
Legends - I try to get two of each figure made, 1 loose and 1 MOC. So far I have all of the first 5 series both loose and MOC.
Defining Moments - The ones I buy, I keep MOC. So far I've gotten Savage, Michaels, Warrior, Rock, and Steamboat. I have no intention of getting Triple H because I'm not a fan and I think the scan is AWFUL! I will get Taker, Austin, and Hitman in the future, but will probably pass on Cena.
Rumblers - Same as basics, I try to get 1 of every person made loose.
I don't like Flex Force, so I don't collect those at all.

I mainly collect elites for my son - I'm not a completionist, but I like to get him as many different wrestlers that I can. I tend not to duplicate wrestlers, apart from he's got both elite Cenas (his favourite), and both Big Shows (for the belts). Hes got 26 different elites, then an extra Cena and Big Show.
I have bought him a few Basics - these were for him to take on holiday so he didn't risk breaking or losing his elites, and hes also got a couple of Divas.

Originally... I was just going to stick with Elite style figures... it then turned into just getting the Divas from the Basic sets to go with the Elites... as it currently stands I get people who don't/won't have Elites in Basic form (The Hurricane, Masters, Nexus members etc) I also find myself wanting more Basics now such as that Summerslam Heritage Randy Orton.

I Collect the elites. There more realistic and fun too pose around in different moves and stuff plus ya gotta give props to the mad sweet accessories mattel gives us with the elites. If it was not for the elites we would not have bad ass things such as William Regal and Goldusts Robes, Removeable t-shirts and vests and jackets, very very detailed championship titles, weapons, necklaces etc etc Lets face it, the basics are just the cheap first and fast made figures that hit the market at affordable prices too ppl who dont want too spend the little extra on elites. Basics drop everyone first before they get released in elite and this is just too see how well they sell, how they look etc Afterwards there elite figure debuts where they improve all there errors, add articulation and give us kick ass accessories. Legends are real nice too. There the best way too give us our past wwf, wcw, ecw icons that we remembered in figure form. There perfect. I guess we would have too include Defining Moments into the Legends series as well

I collect figures of the wrestlers I like, although I wont buy every single figure. If there's a new headscan or a particular attire I like, I'll pick it up if I can find it.

Elite when I can, Basic when I can't, and I usually just want 1 of everyone except for the people I am doing a "history" sort of thing with. Kane and Daniel Bryan. Possibly starting CM Punk.

My current roster is all basics. I buy elites if I want a scan, colored tats, or their shirt. But everyone on my RAW & SD shelves is in basic form.
But, I do have a legends shelf. And those are mostly elites, with a few E.G. throw in.

The only basics I get are the ones who won't be in Elite any time soon/at all, for example Knox, Hurricane, Shelton, Masters, Khali. I bought the Gallows/Punk 2 pack because I was sure there wouldn't be an Elite Gallows. Now I'm wishing I hung on to the receipt. I get all the Divas, all Legends I can, and one of each wrestler in Elite form, unless a newer release has a better scan or an attire update, or is just plain better.

I collect 1 of each talent name as a Basic, Elite and Legends. I have all 8 EG Loose as well as 2 custom ones of JBL and Ric Flair. DM I collect all of and keep MOC. I also collect any RSC exclusives to keep MOC and the Mail-away Vince will remain MOC as well.
