Not really.
The last few releases have been kinda lackluster. Nakamura is nice but why I the world is it worth $24.99? Same with the latest Cena, Warrior, and Sting.
I've personally loved the Ringside exclusives that have been released. Austin, Wolfpack Sting, and both Punks are really great.

Defining Moments are great...Ring Side Collectibles exclusives are better.

So you have to have every elite Sting but you don't want half of them and only bought one because it was one sale. Doesn't seem like your have to have them at all I said for the most part I must have most of them, I did not state ALL of them. I'm not simply just going to buy them all just because it's Sting. If there's something I'm not digging about the figure, or if I feel that a better version would be released than I'll pass. The DM surfer Sting I originally passed on. I only got it because it was cheap and an easy fix, but other than that I wasn't going to get it. It's a want vs need thing, I have every elite Sting minus the hof and e39... Right but minus those 2 and the one you didn't really want how many are left? Probably not enough to even mention... "I like Chris Tucker movies but not any of the Rush Hours or The Fifth Element" ...pointless

I do like the concept of Defining Moments, but for example, the Shinsuke Nakamura. It's a great figure no doubt, but yah know, not that defining though.

I'm not saying I don't like the figures, just that I haven't bought all of them. There aren't any left because Mattel hasn't created the rest of his looks and even then there is work to be done on their Sting figures.

I like the 'Elite' line better, but DM is one of the better series, for sure.

I think the DM line is awesome in terms of the detail & likeness of the wrestlers but the jakks CS line is still at the top in terms of variety & the amount of classic names that were made in that series. There will probably never be another Wwe line that covers such an enormous amount of history & it's unfortunate.

There will probably never be another Wwe line that covers such an enormous amount of history & it's unfortunate. Yeah, it's weird, even though the figures are better, it's just not as exciting like it was when you'd go on the Jeremy blog and see the next CS release is Andy Kaufman, or Giant Gonzales, or someone who hadn't been released before or not for quite some time, it was just something cool, like being on the ground level, like going from NECA(easy to talk to Randy on twitter) to Hasbro(1-800 customer service line), we generally don't get directly involved in the creative process, though you can tell MDT listens when it comes to attires and character choices. It's just that they won't go "all out" ever again like 2011, which they probably shouldn't, since the most profitable guys are currently on Raw/Smackdown/NXT. I think the shows being too good is kind of a problem, you've got a lot of fans hot for the current product that can't remember 30 years ago and not as many collectors buying the flashbacks. I remember throughout all of CS, I avoided the show and RA figs like the plague, Nowadays, it's a more of a "something for everyone" kind of show, from 2004-09, it must've just been a perfect storm(It's too bad Lance Storm and Curt Hennig weren't a tag team...).

I love the DM line. Although in my opinion jakks Classic superstars is the greatest line of all time.
