I see tons of Elite collectors with near complete/ complete sets, and it got me wondering how many people have complete waves of basic figures.
See, with Elites, their is a lot less repetition, therefore I think it is only more natural to want to be a completionist. I have 115 Elite figures, but I don't consider it near the undertaking that it must be to collect all the basics. I don't even come close in that category.
With Basics there is such a vast amount of releases and repetition (Cena is almost pushing 70 individual releases with his upcoming B29 figure) it seems harder to want to get them all. Instead, I note it when I end up getting a full basic set or very close to it.
The basic sets I've completed are: Basic 5 Basic 10 Basic 17 Basic 24 Basic 27 Two packs series 14 (Battle Packs 2)
And the ones I've come close on (5 out of 6) Basic 15 (didn't get Kofi, wish I did) Summerslam Heritage (Didn't get Rey, even though it's one of his better colors) Basic 18 (didn't get Cena) Basic 23 (Didn't get Rey, despite great color scheme, I hate that 'scan' that I don't really think is a scan anyway.)
Out of all of these sets Basic 27 may take the spot held so long by basic 5 as my favorite basic series. 2 Debuts, and the best color schemes yet on the other 4 figures.
What sets do you have all of, and which are your favorites?

Before I went to predominantly elite collecting & sold or gave away most of my basics, I had completed series 2 & 4, 2packs series 2 & 6, and I had gotten all of the WM 26 basics & 2 packs.

A pet project I've been wanting to do, is to get the very first basic figures of everybody that Mattel has done, so by that virtue I would have all of Basic 1 and maybe 2. Not looking forward to how much Batista has gone up in price.

Only the first years sets of singles & 2-Packs. And Im sure there may have been a few after. But any series with Rey, Kofi or Cena haven't been completed since their first Basics release. (unless packed in a 2-pack with someone I did want) the only Kofi I've gotten since series 1 is the Robin attire. There's also been plenty of other wrestlers released that I have zero interest in. So complete sets have been few and far between since the first year. Although I have purchased every basic Orton, Triple H, Taker, Jericho, Punk & Christian.

None, I dont collect basics. I used to buy only the figures that a wrestler I liked had of him. And yeah. I only have about 3 basics, the rest are used for spare parts
