I would far prefer Legends and Flashbacks as individual figures however ... if Mattel can't successfully make them individually without help then I would be a huge fan of the build a figure in the elite line. I also would prefer a figure or a set/diorama then what comes with the figures now. Finally, I rarely buy the entire elite assortment anymore because I have most of the figures in triple by now but would be forced to consider buying all again depending on the legend or flashback. I would not buy the whole line for the gobbly gooker - but for legend wrestlers .... I am in.

I would welcome it, that way Ringside might consider to start selling loose BAF’s, BAF pieces and loose mainline Elites like certain sites do for Marvel Legends and DC Multiverse now
That way people don’t actually have to buy the guys they don’t want necessarily

Well they could pack the parts into 4 of the 6 to help entice buyers with less likely sellers like roman reigns since everyone and their grandmother owns one of him now.

Any time I think of bafs I think of going to TRU 45 minutes away once a week and seeing shelves full of Punk and Del Rio and never Axel or Orton so I never finished JR. That or all of the single ML baf pieces I have.

I've bought every BAF series they made to date (except for the recent JJ). I love BAFs and will even buy a figure I don't care about if I want the BAF figure with it (especially Marvel Legends). Unless it's a lame regular figure BAF. That bugs the hell out of me. I want a giant BAF figure which was always the point of BAFs. Package in pieces to build a giant figure that is just too big to sell as a regular figure.
In WWE's case, honestly, the BAF was always completely unnecessary. The figure was a regular suited figure which could've easily been put in the regular line. I still bought them anyway because I often wanted the other figures in the line. Back when I didn't have a massive collection. Now I don't need basics of guys I already have elites of. Or an 8th elite John Cena.
Also, BAFs can only work with suited figures because otherwise you have to change the entire mechanics of how the figure is constructed and then it doesn't fit with the rest of the figures of the same type. Kinda like how the new basics don't fit in with the old basics because they're constructed completely different and it sticks out like a sore thumb. The did wrestler BAFs with the Create-A-Superstar series and honestly, they look weird next to every other figure. That kind of asymmetry bugs the hell out of me because I'm so OCD. It's a curse.

If the only way of getting certain characters is by making them BAFs, then I'm all for it - at the end of the day, I'd much rather they make someone (eg. Gorilla Monsoon) a BAF than not make him at all.

There is no way I would buy all 6 figures in a wave to build something. There is barely more than 2 that I want.
