To me nothing can explain why someone would buy a figure for more than the double knowing in a month or so can get it for less than double.
What you are going to do with the figure? Put it on the shelf? Do you really need to put it on the shelf right now? Which is the the difference to put it right now or a month later?
I could understand if it was a gift for a kid or something like that. To an adult display it on the shelf I can't understand. I rather prefered to send the £23 to Africa than the garbage...
People are so impatient nowadays. I live in Portugal, many figures I want and bought I only get them 3 months or more later, these people would die lol

A few minor fix ups, Gave Bray the hat & apron from one of his older figures and added the Basic 95 head and an extra Cena hand... Gave Bob the new Bryan hands... Had the best t-shirt guy in the business, Goldust , print me some shirts for the B Team... Wow that Bray!!

I wanted the regular Jeff and Smyths sent me the chase which I already had so I’ve got a spare chase Jeff if anyone wants if for cost+shipping? I hope they sent me the regular one. I don't like the chase. I had receive the Hawkins chase from amazon and I prefer the regular one...

What arms are best to replace the "gorilla" arms on the Jim Neidhart Elite? Luke Harper elite I think.

Nothing spectacular here, but these open hands really add a lot to older figures. How you put the news hands keeping the original forearms of the figures?

Got a bit of a headache this collecting thing hasn’t it? Went to Bury before hoping to fill some of the gaps that my local Smyths has missed, wasn’t as fruitful as hoped, just got a Jinder Basic and managed to break a peg off the shelf while I searched for a Kurt Angle Elite that hadn’t been paintballing Been to a few Home Bargains in the last few days but seen no Summerslam Elites. I have however seen so many Tye Dillinger Basics across two Entertainer stores that I am convinced that nobody in the world actually owns a Tye Dillinger Basic I don't! But I have his elite x) Yeah it's even more hard nowadays, but my money isn't enought for everything so I buy what I can... One day I will go to the USA and I will buy the exclusives I want.

There’s complaints about almost every figure, so I think it’s fair for anyone who thinks it’s one of the best. Frankly, I find most complaints to be too much as a lot of them are over small things. It’s a toy, it’s not going to be perfect. Then again I collect MOC.. E41 Funk with no kneepads must drive you crazy if you have him MOC. Would irk me endlessly. There's also plenty of Mattel figures that objectively wouldn't need any fixes out of the box. I guess it is subjective, but to me a figure "needing" to be fixed should disqualify it from the running. I have the same idea, if a figure needs to be fixed it has a problem, if it has a problem isnt't so good like was suppose to be...

Best solution? Full your shelfs. Mine are and they don't fall because they are so close...

Generally no. But I headswapped the basic sid head onto the elite body and I like it so much better. That is not a custom lol Customs are great when they are good.

Balor NXT London. RVD with ECW and WWE Title. John Cena WM 22. Edge WM 17 with tag team title and a ladder. ... Think you misread the title pal Balor NXT London. RVD with ECW and WWE Title. John Cena WM 22. Edge WM 17 with tag team title and a ladder. ... Was Balor even alive during the golden era then? Was Balor even alive during the golden era then? I was just thinking the same thing lol I knew it you guys will have that to say but I didn't mention that Ultimate Edition should have a character from that time. I don't need more Randy Savages or Warriors and others would be a waste in this line. EDIT: Only now I saw what @rated [R] NinJa said and he was right. At least one person understood!

Overall, the top talents is the best: - better head scan - 2 colors in the gloves - knee pads (and they are the right ones!)
But my favorite is the E56, the attire is very important and cool. If you fix up that figure, it is the best.

Strowman Super Man tattoo, Viktor (from Ascension) and Enzo come to my mind.

It used to look like a warehouse, now it looks like a collection I came to say this. Much better!

I used the arms from the newest Elite Sami (I had given Sami different arms anyhow). And the hands from the new Cena. Mastermind!
