E16 with rock, punk, diesel and Nash is fantastic. Nash is an extremely tough find though at retail. E17 with mankind,Ryder, cena and kofi is the series of the year in my opinion. E18 just hit a few weeks ago. 2 amazing flashbacks with ABA aundertaker and Jerry the King Lawler. Wade Barrett, Brodus Clay and Sin Cara are all amazing and come with sweet accessories. And of course Rey too

Just start with whatever's out there that you like. Right now, the elite 17 John Cena is probably very easy to get hold of anywhere and it's a superb figure. That whole series is great. Series 18 is out in most places now too, and some places still have 16. The CM Punk, Heath Slater, Nash and Diesel figures are all great. Orton and Zeke are decent too.

It depends on your scope (or focus). I'm about 95% legends/flashbacks. If you start there then you'll want a Bret Hart, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man, Piper and some other big names to get going. If you are a current wrestling fan, then consult the guys above. Go to ringsidecollectables and look at the Mattel figures they have. You can look at them per series. See what you like and go from there. Ebay and amazon.com are great places too if you shop online. If you shop at brick and mortar stores only then you'll be limited to the more recent waves. |

Get who you like to get started, then just continue working at filling up your collection once you feel it's something that you would like to continue spending your money on (believe me, you will spend A LOT), get others.. That's how I do it.

It's your collection? Then my answer to you is just get the figures YOU like because your collection is going to reflect your tastes and so it should be figures you enjoy/like.

If I could start over. I would've started by getting exclusives first. If you wait too long they might disappear or cost twice as much.

I think the later series of elites ( Elite 7 on) are better than the earlier ones other than guys like Batista, Matt Hardy, and some others who wont get elites again. They have most of those earlier characters anyway in diff atires but if your gonna start collecting I would go after some of the older that arent available first and work your way up to the later series.

My collection started with buying a couple of Jakks classics of my fave wrestlers of all time. The Rock and Mr Perfect. I was just going to display them in my office on my sports memorabilia shelf with my autographs, etc. Then I picked up some legends and learned that Mattel was the new boss in town and snagged a couple flashbacks and some elites of current guys that I liked. Now, since I'm primarily a legend/flashback guy, my current roster shelf has grown x10. But most of my current figs are basics. Good basics though. I always compare the headscan to the elite counterpart.
