So this has been on my mind for a while now and it's kind of surprising this hasn't been made a thing yet. A WWE Best of Elite Series. A set of Elites from any set that were fan favorites. Yes, by this I mean re-releases. DON'T CRUCIFY ME. The figures will have minor tweaks and new accessories or less accessories, so that will hopefully keep them from being straight up re-releases. I dunno, maybe it's just me but I think this would be a great idea. Each set shouldn't have like 6 figures, maybe like 2 or 3 each set. What do you guys think? Am I wrong? Am I an idiot for even suggesting this? Maybe.
EDIT: I don't mean like Best of 2015 or some sh*t like that, I mean like best of any set from any time period. Also, someone mentioned this be like a once a year thing and it be a store exclusive...I'd be down for that. Sounds reasonable to me.

Hell no. We don't need any more sets that entice retailers not to order the regular sets. We don't need any more junk sets that strangle the shelves. They did this three years and they always clogged. That's why they stopped.

I'd be down for it. Some names that immediately come to mind...
1) Elite 12 Kane 2) Elite 16 Kevin Nash (maybe Diesel too) 3) Flashback Booker T 4) Elite 19 Shawn Michaels with chest hair (cue the flames) 5) Legends 6 Warrior

It depends.... If at the end of 2015 and we got: X Pac Earthquake Macho Man Doink Paige Seth Rollins
I'd be cool with it, but I know it would be John Cena Seth Rollins HHH Randy Orton Roman Reigns Dean Ambrose

I'd buy Diesel... Because I don't have it. I would not buy any other exact rereleases, unless it was like E10 Big Show and it had a hard to find belt or something.
Did people constantly beg for rereleases when Jakks had the license?

Not a stupid idea. I personally would like to keep the series completely fresh and save the rereleases for a once in a while type of thing. I don't know how many of them I would buy honestly. There are a few but not many

The Kane with the chains is a great figure, until they break. It was up on display not being touched at all and the last time I re arranged everything to make space I found it ripped in 3 places. There wasn't even a strain on the rubber so I'm not sure how that happened.
But any way. I'd be down with a set of re releases.

Maybe one four-figure set a year as a store exclusive.

Maybe the cold air affects it. Or maybe since I bought it loose it wasn't kept in good condition.

I reread the original post and realize I spoke too soon. I get the gist now and actually don't think that is awful. Basically that is happening with the upcoming Big Bossman. He is the same figure with fewer accessories. Also, Cactus Jack is only a minor tweak of the Ringside Exclusive.

I'd really like to be able to get e10 Big Show, e4 and e12 Kane, either e2 e7 or wm27 Triple H, e13 edge...
Maybe others but I just don't wanna look. I missed out on a lot when I look back it sucks lol. I mean making RSC and TRU Exclusives in a best of series would defeat the purpose of them being exclusive, right? But people mention Cactus only being slightly different so idk. Anything could be possible within the realms of contracts. Out of the realm of contracts, if WWE hire the Hardys again, I'd take the elite Matts again.

I don't dislike the idea because it would allow me to pick up older elites that I missed when I wasn't collecting but as a whole I just don't see the value in it. I don't mind them re-releasing a figure if it's like the DM Undertaker where the previous figure was an event exclusive of some sort. That I'm fine with, but re-releasing a readily accessible figure just seems cheap to me.

This gets a firm no from me. We get enough re-releases. If I miss a figure I'd rather just pay the extra on the secondary market than lose a spot that should be for a new elite/flashback or a completely different version of someone previously released. And if I can't afford the secondary price, I can go back to it in future when I have more money. A wasted spot is wasted forever.
