....buy a Basic in place of an Elite? Here's my dilemma. I wouldn't mind adding Jinder to my collection, but I'm not buying that ring to get the Elite. They have a couple of the new Basic Jinders at my local Walgreens. I'm on the fence. Like, what are the chances he gets another Elite?

He hasn’t gotten much TV time lately so If you want one I would say go with the basic or try and grab a loose one on eBay.

I passed on the b93 Jinder today. I thought about getting him to have a Jinder, but decided I didn’t need a Jinder in my collection. But if I do decide to have him in my collection the Basic is good enough for me.

Yes. It's not that serious. Elites arent some amazing top notch thing and basics arent some bottom shelf dollar store knockoff. Not. That. Serious.
I always laugh and feel a bit sorry when I read the " that figure is amazing, but unfortunately I only collect elites" posts. Like, yeah, that snickers sounds good but sadly I only eat mr. goodbar.

Well now, I do have A FEW Basics. I bought that whole FB Basic Series to get Fink, and that suited Flair is one of my favorite figures, Elite or Basic.

Before the loss of articulation I actually preferred buying basics of most talent, besides Cruiserweights and John Cena. Now I seem to be collecting more Elites, with articulation and accessories as well as overall quality. But I'm not completely off basics, including Jinder.

There are actually a few basics I prefer over the elites so yes I would buy it

Why not? If you’re not willing to spend what it costs for the elite and want a figure of him then what does it hurt to spend $10 to have as a placeholder until you can obtain an elite at your price point?

Just think, he has been with WWE since what, 2010/2011? Its over half way through 2019 and we got one Elite. Chances aren't high we will get another.

If were talking about the Basic and Elite figure having the same attire, Ive done it for a number of figures
-Chose Basic Sin Cara in white over the Elite because the coat is hard to remove and makes him unplayable in a match
-Bought B48 Hulk Hogan but never replaced it with the DM. The Basic Hogan actually has a better torso even though he cant do a Big Boot
-Have EG Rowdy Roddy Piper and passed on the HOF Piper because I didnt like the headscan

You must have been living under a rock for the last 10 basics series. Bottom shelf dollar store knock offs everywhere should be insulted!

Basics used to be good, but even back then, there were still the Elite elitists who say they never buy Basics and that Mattel should only make Elites.

They have a couple of the new Basic Jinders at my local Walgreens. I'm on the fence. Like, what are the chances he gets another Elite? I already bought his basic and I got one off of rsc. I say go for it. I maybe upgrade it if and when his new elite comes out.

I could respond to this with actual pics of basics and dollar store figs from my nephews room... But I dont have to. The comparison is laughable even without the damning photo proof.

Honestly the Jinder is a good basic, will be in the basic of the year convo at the end of the year. There are much worse figures to buy.
