This is almost where I was. Not as complete with the Elites, but approaching it. I'm now looking to sell 90% of my collection. Really? What happened? This behavior is on the level of a maniac. Every other month I'm buying a case of Elites, every month I'm buying Basics, I'm buying awful Battle Packs, I'm buying figures I missed out on. I have more than 1 Miz figure and that annoys me. I have 30 Cena figures and that annoys me. I should have stuck to getting the 20 or figures I like. I've spent thousands building up a collection I don't want most of just so I can say I have it and display it. |

Nope its mostly all going. Except my precious SES CM Punk, love that figure, and a few others, but A LOT is going. |

I'm a Mattel Orndorff completionist. I own one Orndorff and patiently waiting for the next Orndorff.

I've spent thousands building up a collection I don't want most of just so I can say I have it and display it. I was there once and sold almost all of it. Now I've learned my lesson and slowly rebuilding. This time I am just getting a few figures per month, sticking to flashbacks and appreciating quality over quantity. |

Nah, I just buy wrestlers I like. But if the attire or scan is awful I'll pass even if I like the wrestler.

Although, I still enjoy most of the elite line and will keep it going. I'm trying to keep only Basics from pre-2000s. Basics are hard to move, though. Jakks UFC figures are easier to sell. |

once u get kinda caught up....collecting elites is pretty easy. They only come out about every 2 months.
Like as long as u don't wait too long to get a certain figure, it'll still be reasonably priced a year after it comes out.

I have nearly every flashback except:
Elite 31 vader (will get someday)
Rsc bret hart (don't even want the fig so probably won't get)
I wouldn't call myself a completionist because I find buying figs that I don't/won't need in the future (basic dean Ambrose and then getting the elite) is a waste of money, but I do have a vast collection.

I like to refer to myself as a selective completionist. I don’t collect the action figures, but I do collect the Championship Title Belts. When it comes to kids sized toy Championship Title Belts, “if it’s made, it’s mine”. When it comes to action figure sized shiny VAC Championship Title Belts, with few exceptions…for now (I bought the Hardcore, but I don’t want the nWo or the blue Winged Eagle or the yellow Winged Eagle or the purple oval Intercontinental), “if it’s made, it’s mine”. I love GGGGOOOOLLLLDDDD!! It’s kinda my thing.

I was indifferent to the line until they announced they were doing the Legends line, I loved the Jakks Classic line, but as the series went on the prices went up and the "good" figures were usually wiped out if the stores even replenished them, so I only got bits and pieces of those. With Mattel, I thought "Holy crap, stuff I want that won't be impossible to find!", so in anticipation for that I bought Elite 1-3 from RSC, so I'd have some opponents for them and that pretty much turned into collecting everything from E1-37(plus exclusives, missing Koslov variant, but don't really care, same for Warrior exclusives, even though they are cool.)and all the remarkable basics(which is most of them.).
I'm just in so deep, if I stopped...I'd be bored.

I was randomly buying ones I liked and then started filling in the missing ones in a set. I have no plan and no idea what I'm doing.
Never looked at the divas before, the basics are elite?

I buy one of every character, but am no way a completest. I do have 2 of every Mattel Hulk Hogan figure though.

I used to be up until last year. But I do have one elite and one basic of every figure. I also have multiples of guys I like (Bret Hart, Jericho etc.)
