No. I collect both and I know there are plenty of others who do as well. And most of the parents I see at TRU/WM/Target would rather buy their kids Basics over Elites.

In today's economy, I'm quantity over quality.

I buy both but I think I prefer the way that the Basic figures look as I don't like the torso design too much on the Elites. Having said that I'm generally the type of collector who keeps things moc but with Elites I can take them out of the box without damaging it so it is nice for me to be able to do that on the rare occasion that I buy Elite figures. I usually review my figures on youtube as well so if I have an Elite that I can take out of the box it makes for a better video.

I have both but prefer Basics much more. I like the torsos without the giant joint in the center. Plus they are released at a much faster pace. I'd hate to only get a few figures every other month. With Basics there is almost always something out there I'm looking for.

Elites only, I always buy basics due to them being produced faster & coming out more often, but then I end up selling them, either due to an elite coming out or I just have a little OCD & I need to be a completest and have them all (like I do elites)

I only go out of my way to buy Elites but will get Basics too if there's a good deal to be had or they're on sale -- or in cases where it's unlikely a wrestler may get an Elite figure any time soon in the same attire I want. There have been many occasions where I had to resist the urge to get Basics and try to be patient for an Elite version instead. On all the cases so far, my waiting did pay off -- but Basic 20 Yoshi Tatsu is the first time I decided not to wait since he rarely gets any figures. I did manage to get a great deal on him though so not really a big deal if he does end up getting an Elite figure.

I prefer elites over basics. I like the articulation more and really dislike basic legs. However basic pricing is much more reasonable. I still have yet to buy a basic.

Elites all the way for me, the only basics I buy are the divas.

Buy both. Elites aren't always the best fig (see Daniel Bryan) of a superstar.

I prefer Elites over Basics too (surprise!). But it's not because I loathe Basics, it's just that these figures cost so much and shipping adds up that I'd much rather invest in an Elite figure. For me it boils down to this, if it's a wrestling action figure, then it should be able to be posed in the most basic of wrestling holds e.g. Boston Crab. I just don't get that satisfaction with a Basic.
I also dislike how slow Elite releases are compared to Basics but I completely understand why, it's just par for the course.
If I'm paying that much money for a figure, I want all the articulation is can possibly come with.

I prefer elites, but if there are any basics figure they haven't made in elite. That would be some special case.

Elites all the way for me. The only basics I buy are Divas. I did buy 1/1000 to keep MOC, and rarely I will buy First in Lines to keep MOC. I did buy the Macho/Punk 2 pack because of the novelty. The only other basics I buy are for head swaps to get updated head scans but other than that it's Elites for me. Even though the wait sucks, I buy other figures besides WWE so the wait doesn't seem too bad. Unfortunately, WWE Elites do cramp my style because since prices are high, and I have a set budget I usually pass up on other toys to hold out for that speacial Elite I am looking for in which most cases I walk out of stores empty handed thanks to these Elites.  They are well worth the trouble I go through, that I can honestly say. |

I am a basic collector only. I personally think they are better figures than Elites.

Since the legends line was elite style I buy only elites. If legends and FB were basic I would be buying basics only
