I get bored waiting for elites, then I start buying basics, then I realize I'm buying basics of guys I already have in elite form, or will have, & sell the basics I just bought or give to my kids lol

I ONLY collect elites. Sorry if this might offend anyone, but i hate basics. To me they are babyish, Plus you really can't pose them.

Due to budget restrictions I stick to mosty elites, but every once in a while there is a basic out that I like and end up getting. They do look ok displayed but they really do lack in comparison with elites. If there is a figure out that I doubt will get an elite then I will end up getting the basic, usually ends up being a battle back. Must admit I did really like the Dudley Boys battle pack and that American Alpha set looks great too.

Literally an everyday struggle, I only collect elites. The articulation is great for displaying and playing, and come with quality accessories, and typically have a better lineup. I always want to go buy some basics but I don't see much point. If someone feels they can persuade me, pleas do I'd love a good reason to collect basics lol.

Elites only. 1 of each. I refuse to own 20 macho and warrior. I buy the one that stands out the most. The only figure I have 2 of right now is shango and warrior. Because of the HOF 2 pack and there single releases.
Also only buy legends. Unless cool Attitude Era figures come out for elite Like boss man and vince.
Gangrel I would never pass up.
At one point I tried to purchase each set and then realized the amount of money I was wasting on ugly figures who I could care less about looking at.

The way I see it, Basics are for people who don't want to become homeless spending their entire paycheck on $20 Elites. They're also for your kids to play with, because it stings less when they smash a $10 figure into pieces versus a $25 fig.
The only reason I can collect Elites is because I can usually find them online loose for 10 to 15 bucks. Sometimes they're like 7 bucks at department stores, great for harvesting parts.

I agree with what you said about less articulation, but what do you mean by babyish? Basics and Elites are practically the same thing except with elites you get more for more money.

I hate how basics look, it's not even really an articulation thing. I just feel like they look cheap compared to elites (probably because they are cheap compared to elites)

I would say so.
Very rarely do I buy basics because the quality has just gone down. I used to get a lot of basics but the articulation is just not there for me as well. Plus buying only elites kinda easier on the wallet also.
I MIGHT get basics of superstars we won't get elites of. Probably like Tye Dillinger or Andrade Almas we saw at the toy fair. Other than that, I probably have bought 5 basics in the last 2 years.

I generally only collect elites unless I need parts or it's someone I specifically collect. Occasionally they'll impress me with a basic.
