The entire basic line should be discontinued, or only used for jobbers or mid-card bums. If it did, then I think the whole Elite line would be made up of Cena, Roman and HHH. I mean the whole thing is, is parents aren't going to buy their kids $20 wrestling toys most of the time. That's why Basics are out there mostly. They're $10. Kids get their insane amount of Cena's and Roman's and that keeps the Elites open for flashbacks and more interesting stars as well as the current "big guys" out there.

As I fill my collection out more, I realize there's some guys/gals I'd like, but not $20 like. I'd be OK grabbing a few basic Legends honestly. Wrestlers I wasn't SUPER into but respect or enjoyed enough. For half the price, I'd be open to it. Plus it might give a reason to "re-release" certain Elite attires for those who weren't collecting or didn't grab them without damaging the collectibility of the original Elite.

That Undertaker looks awesome, I was planning on doing the exact same set up when I grab another TNF and WM Taker.

"Character" is number 1. If I didn't give a crap, or currently don't, about a wrestler I don't want it. Period.
Secondly, era. If it's someone like Undertaker who spans eras, it better be 92-2000 for me. Post ABA I didn't care for, and even in his better/later matches I just didn't watch so it there's no connection. So if it's a wrestler I like, I want it to be from a time I liked them. Some current guys I like so I grab them, but VERY few. Zayne, Balor, so far that's it lol. I'll get Owens, Styles, Nakamura for damn sure!
Finally, looks. If it meets the previous 2 criteria, someone I like from when I liked them, if it looks like garbage I don't want it.

Ash/Undertaker team up would rule. Surrey dudes, Evil Dead series is awesome but I don't own any figures.

Even just some tops would be cool. Hat or banana, top, glasses. That's not too much. Especially when they make things like Sid have just a damn vest.

Finally added Paul Bearer to the Taker collection. Macho and Taker are the only 2 I'm willing to get many multiples of. Audio added TNF Taker and tossed in the BAF one. Wasn't as into his gimmicks once he hit American Badass but I will always love and respect the guy.

I think all 4 of these new BAF Basics are better. There's literally not ONE of the UK set I'd keep, relevant or not. Rusev is the only one I plan to drop in this set. Love the Jericho, Neville is cool, Undertaker is always a win. Dilph, Damien, Bryan and Kofi? No need for any of those at all.

So I ordered the BAF Bearer set online and had it shipped to Skokie Walmart. I thought maybe they'd stock some since I ordered. Nope, nothing but E39 and basic Cena/Rowan's. That Walmart sucks.
Anyone find any TRU Shawn Michaels yet?

How does one even find the BAF set on their website. I have had no luck searching for it. Because it's sold out, but was up. Here's the item IDs 48812361 48810262 48810260 48812363

However they fit. I try to keep same characters or themes together but in the end it's however they look best on the small space I give them

Yeah I wish Rusev wasn't in it. I don't mind the other 3. I'm literally just going to give the damn Rusev to a kid or something.

Bearer set and TNF Undertaker from Walmart online, Legends Bam Bam, and started the week strong with the Heenan set price matched to Amazon's $31 Horsemen because it had the same DCPI WHOOP!

I just want the Dudleyz, I'd lose my crap if they were tie dye ECW flashback style but assume they won't be. I'm guessing WWE/camo style.
