I don't know if anyone else does this, but I get a certain era of wrestlers in Elite form and another era of guys as Basics. At first I couldn't decide which type of flashback/legends to collect, but eventually went with Elite, since there's more of a variety. So, I only collect Elite WWF wrestlers from '90-'91.
Since I got into indie wrestling around '05-'06, I collect all those ROH/PWG guys that are now in WWE in Basic form (Punk, Bryan, Samoa Joe, AJ, Zayn, Kevin Owens, Neville, etc).
Does anybody else do something similar to this?

I used to always get the basic first then the elite. But now (like with AJ for example ) I've kinda soured on Basics and only really get them if I feel 100% needed.
Elites all the way

Thank you everyone for your feedback; it's much appreciated. In hindsight I probably should have added a "both" option. I can see what a lot of you mean. For instance the Elite 48 Ziggler is overall a better figure, but I don't like the head. I may end up purchasing the similar Basic and do a head-swap.

I will buy whatever I can find first (unless I know the Elite is much better than the basic, like AJ Styles, Sasha Banks, etc.). And if I buy a figure of someone and a better version comes out much later, I will replace it and sell the old one.

Not sure why so many people hate on basic figures. When I say hate, I mean HATE. Most collectors who say they hate basics display them anyways, so why does it matter? Sure, basics don't have the accessories, but that's why they are cheaper. Mattel does just as good of a job on the basics as they do elites.

I will always wait for the Elite.

I usually get both cause the basic has:
1 a better head to swap onto the Elite
and
2 the opposite "microphone" hand to swap onto the Elite

As your President I advise everyone to buy whatever figure that floats your boat
