As a mostly CS Collector - I do struggle. The reason being, they're not readily available here and the online UK websites price them incredibly high. Many retailers don't stock CS figs at all here in London which makes it that even tougher at times.

It sucks for me being a completeist. I get one of every person made.. or every gimmick made in cases like Godfather/Papa Shango or Akeem/One Man Gagn. So when there are chase figures like Maryse.. that screws me up. I'm close though. I need Maryse, Robert Gibson, Ricky Morton, Jesse Ventura, Ivan Koloff, Jesse, Festus, and Crush (Also need to catch up on Akeem, Jim Neidhart, Marty Jannetty, Papa Shango, Sylvian Greiner, singles gear Rob Conway, and Ripped and Ruthless Sable). I may end up caving in and getting that WCW gear Pillman (I'm a huge WCW mark after all), and the WCW Jericho is a pretty awesome figure as well, but we'll see.
Not only that.. but then we had a set in CS 22 where I didn't need to get any of them except McMahon in wrestling gear (if memory serves me correctly). But.. the MOC of Chainsaw Charlier (a chainsaw AND a stocking?! Awesome..) has me thinking I might pick that up.. and I hate that Austin comes with the Smoking Skull belt.. they're teasing me I think.
On the plus side for me.. there's lots of repaints coming up. I've got RVD, I've got Hawk and Animal.. I don't need Spike Dudley unless he's VASTLY different from the RA one.. and ditto for Billy Kidman. I won't need the Killer Bees or the British Bulldogs either. CS 25 will suck for me.. because I'll probably end up getting them all except the LJN and Beefcake. I get to skip Iron Shiek and JYD in CS 26, as well as maybe Andre.. then I only need half of CS 27. Skaaland, Outback Jack, Kona Crush, and Evil Crush. CS 28 sees me getting Skinner, Mosh, Thrasher, D-Lo, possibly Pillman, possibly the APA, Patterson, possibly Edge, and more than likely Bam Bam.
Then let's not forget about the standard AD and RA releases. We know that Curt Hawkins, Zach Ryder, Katie Lea, Cherry, Colin Delaney, Vickie Gurrerro, and an updated Paul Birchill are all coming out soon. Plus that upcoming MVP in black with green and orange trim is SWANK. So there's another one... I also expect to see Ted DiBiase, Brie Bella, the other Bella chick, Natalya Neidhart, Melina Roucka, Manu, and updated William Regal, and possibly Michael Cole, Tony Chimmel, Justin Roberts, Todd Grisham, or any of the referees before those lines are through, and I'll purchase anyone who I've not gotten one of so far.
And of course, I'm buying any two or three pack that has someone new in it. I can only hope that they release a 3 pack that has three new people in it, saving me some cash. I was thrilled with the no-repaints Freebirds pack.
I'm calling it too.. I would say there's an outside chance that KroniK get tag team figures in the 2 pack line. I know they were never super over, and I know they aren't really "must-haves"... but I wouldn't be totally surprised to see them show up as the oddball, "Tank Abbott" of those upcoming sets.
And if this is the end for the CS figures (which we don't know yet.. they may continue with TNA), then I lament never getting Sting, Savage, Douglas, Raven, Candido, Stevie Ray, Jarrett, Lyger, Muta, lucha style Psychosis, La Parka, Glacier, Mortis/Kanyon, Wrath, Mongo, classic Sandman, Jerry Lynn, Masahiro Chono, Konnan, Dan Severn, any Von Erich, and of course, Owen Hart. I understand the reasonings.. but it's still sad to think that other than those few wrestlers (to be fair.. I just wanted Glacier and Wrath cause I'm a WCW mark), they covered almost all the bases.
Still.. quite a few figures to buy.. but I do plan on "completing" my collection. I'd add it all up.. but I really don't wanna know.. lol!

Nope. Because I only buy the wrestlers I enjoy/enjoyed watching. So mainly it's just the Classics now and even then I haven't bought a whole series of CS singles since CS13 as there's been alot of wrestlers released I just have no intrest in adding to my collection. So who do you collect figures from the main line of? Is it just Triple H? Up until the Benoit tragedy it was about 7 or 8 guys (HHH, Benoit, Jericho, Angle, Undertaker, Flair, Regal & Helms) Now it's pretty much just ring attired HHH & Regal figures and certain figures that catch my eye. But like I said my main purchases have been the Classics.

I am quite picky but the sheer amt they have been releasing is a pain in the neck...
Plus there is BNB now and there wasn't in the past!

yeah I struggle... espically when they come out with a better fig cause I always keep updating mine and I only collect RA OR CS style I hate DA and TTL is alright but I really prefer to have all my figs RA or CS style
