As someone who collects both series I was wondering what other people thought. For me I feel as if the HoF series is more special, since it focus' on Hall of Famers.
As far as the TNF series, which I still love BTW, it feels like its just an extension as the regular Elite series, to get us more Elites faster.
Just wondering how everyone else feels about this?

I think TNF is better because it has diversity and endless possibilities whereas the HOF line seems to be puttering out already.

TNF = Smackdown and HOF = Raw

I like TNF better because they can pretty much release anyone (that Mattel/WWE has the rights to), whereas with Hall of Fame they are limited to Hall of Famers only.

TNF is clearly better because you do not have the limitations of the HOF but can still get HOFers in the TNF series. You can't get Bam Bam, Disaters, Shield, Luger in HOF but can get Savage, Warrior, Sting, etc in TNF

Hof is limited half the section is deceased or unable to accuried rights to make them. Where as then now forever has no guidelines. Just 1 present, 2 then 1 forever.

TNF got me a Bam Bam Bigelow, Macho Madness, NXT return Sami Zayn and Natural Disasters so it wins.

Both frustrate me. Whenever new figures are announced or shown at cons and fairs, I can't get excited anymore because HOF, TNF and NS arnt widely available to me, and newly announced figures arnt guaranteed for the main Elite line.
I had to pay $50 dollars for TNF Bam Bam.
Who decides that Elite Tyler Breeze and Bam Bam are a Walmart exclusive but Nasty Boys rot on shelves around the country?
Why is the upcoming Roddy Piper in an exclusive line, but 123 Kid plagues eBay?
Does Rowdy Roddy Piper not warrant an accessible regular Elite figure widely available to everybody??

How about they just go back to having Elite figures with Flashbacks in the lines??
These "HOF exclusive to Target" and "Then, Now, Forever" exclusive to Walmart, just either makes it harder to collect what you want because you live in another country (like I do with living in Canada) or because certain lines won't get to retail because of older lines being over stocked on the pegs.
They should have just stuck with Basics and Elites.

TNF (Walmart) and WWE Network (TRU) are much better than HOF. I enjoy the HOF line but it has limited potential as others have said.

I like them all but HOF is definitely the most frustrating...

They like having exclusives, but not ordering them or putting them on shelves lol |

They should have just stuck with Basics and Elites. It's pretty straight forward. Canada is a very small % of their overall market. Wal-Mart and TRU make up so much of their purchase orders that they can request exclusive figures to get consumers in the store. It's unfortunate that we don't get these in Canada, but the decision by Mattel is 100% reasonable. |

I like TNF better simply because it's more inclusive of everything, hence the name. They have no limitations, unlike the HOF line.
Plus, it's a lot easier to get to a Walmart than a Target in most places (at least in the South).

I have more HoF figures. I collect almost 0 modern guys. For now HOF but we'll see, TNF has been killing it lately.
Also, it's way easier for me to get HoF figures because Target employees almost always check the back for me and the tracker is better. Walmarts near me are garbage dumps.

They seem to spend more time on HOF figures but I like the possibilities with TNF. We need a poll for this.

Why does one line have to be "better" than the other? Can't we appreciate each for what it is? An exclusive line that some of us won't bother with because they are too hard to find in our area due to no store nearby or the store that is nearby doesn't know how to stock or gets raided by internet resellers.

I like both although I hate going to Walmart...therefore HOF gets the slight edge.
