Todays toys r us grabs. This is about it until next pay day. I couldnt believe they still had a warrior. I also decided to go with this justin gabriel as I like the look better and didnt want to pay extra for a wrestler im not a huge fan of for an elite.

Did you have those stashed somewhere in the store? I'd pass out if I found those exact 3 elites together in any store. Haha

On vacation I stopped at a walmart at South Padre Island. They are a little behind the times. Nothing was priced correctly so I picked up e23 taker, hhh, and jbl as well as naomi and cameron for 9$ each.

I too am new to collecting so based on what I have learned in the last 6 months here is what I suggest... If you are going to collect MOC, only stick with Mattel for now. I spent a lot of money getting some MOC flashbacks that are old like Big Boss Man, Diesel, Nash, Exclusive macho man etc, got them all on ebay for like $40-$60 each, but I HAD to have them so I got them. Any time a new figure comes out you want, make sure you get it asap either through a RSC preorder, retail, or amazon, otherwise you will have to pay more through resellers on ebays especially when they get harder to find. I don't suggest collecting Jakks MOC for several reasons, for one, there are way too many to catch up with, I was interested in collecting the "Classic Superstars" line but there are WAY too many and you can't get them new for even an average price, they are all so expensive. So if you collect Jakks, I would just collect loose on those. But I think we all have confidence Mattel in the long run will release everyone we want, although I don't see them releasing more obscure characters like Jakks has in the past. I too have a little DX collection, I have the Attitude Era DX Versions MOC of HHH, Billy Gunn and Road Dogg. Ready for Xpac to come out. I need a Shawn with DX attire though. it's up to you, I attempted MOC for a bit got bored and opened the figure, I mean some like DM and really good figures should stay MOC or buy two of each figures but some are really good out of the box

stick to Ebay and craigslist and try to buy them loose. I've amassed a healthy collection for way less than retail. The newer figures I generally buy retail...but the ones no longer in stores can be found all over ebay loose.

Are they more rare, or just more desired?

I know ive read some folks stores are stocked with olders and some are getting brand new stuff. I seem to be finding a little of everything on my travels.

I collect all the divas as well..at least one of each that is. They definitely add variety and character to your collection. Even though most of them come in basic lines, they have more articulation than their male counterparts and sometimes have better detail. They're almost like Elite figures but for the price of a Basic! An example would be Alicia Fox.

I just need to focus on my attitude era wants at this point. Im pretty much caught up on dx (though i may try and find a decent chyna from jakks) Im sure theres already a list on here of attitude figs. Gotta search.

Nice gets so far. I really want that Rock/Mick two pack if I ever went to a signing. Just seems like it'd be a cool thing to get signed
