So as someone who collects elite's, and fills in with basics, i had a question.
I was looking at the rumored lineups for elite and wondered what the odds are they will stay that way?
I ask because, i like cryme Time, but don't want to pick up the 2 pack, to have awesome elite figures come out 2 moths later.
I also wonder about Evan Bourne.

i'm the same way. i've been holding out on getting a basic Kofi 'till the elite comes out, same with HBK and really anyone that's rumoured to be in the upcoming elite series. Some guys, like Mark Henry and Kane aren't too articulated in real life, so their basics are just fine - however, i agree that JTG especially and Evan Bourne would best be represented in elite form.
as for how concrete the lineups are, that's anyone's guess - but i, like you, am keeping my fingers crossed hoping they stay as they are.

one more thing, Champ - i say just wait. I mean, let's face it, Shad is one of the worst figs mattel's put out so far. so in the end $18+ for a basic JTG? not worth it. just be patient and wait for elite - you can always go back and get the 2pack if you want. or just try to get 'em loose on ebay a little later on. if there's one thing i learned in my 10+ years of fig huntin it's that being patient isn't a bad thing. all my worst fig desicions have been made because i was just ITCHIN to get a new fig - any new fig.
best of luck.

this questio about the furure line ups is a hard one. For instance with the 2-pack tommy dreamer figure, He left WWE but mattel said he was still atached to a legends contract so he would stil be realesed  |

i hope for evan we get white boots and WM26 attire and bourne to fly shirt! ...but he didn't wear the white boots with that attire, and the shirt he wore was the, "Fly Air Bourne" one, so it wouldn't be accurate either. |

I want the Elite Regal BAD, but I will likely buy the basic because I just can't wait until August for a Regal. I will of course pick up the Elite in the end. Similarly, I don't really like the Elite HBK, but hes a star worth owning the hat and t-shirt for. I will likely get one that has a better outfit, better hair color, and a beard. On the other hand, I only need Elites of like Morrison, Kofi, and maybe a few others who are super flexible (besides Regal), so I will usually pass. Some guys, like Cryme Time, I wouldn't get at all. As far as future lineups go, they are stickied at the top of the page I believe.
