This is why I stick solely to the Basic figures... The Elite figures cost more and as of now, they don't have as many different superstars compared to the Basic figures..

I like the elite choice of attire for all except miz...he's out of date. I only buy elite unless the elite I want doesn't exist...example: Morrison and Jericho, I bought both when released just cuz I wanted them in mattel form and basic style was only available I will get rid of them once I the elites are released

didn't you guys learn anything from JAKKS? i said from the beginning i would hold out for Elite of anyone. I knew there would be an elite Kofi, Morrison, Jericho and everyone. I didn't buy ANYONE from Basic 1 knowing they would all be out in Elite form in the first 4 waves or so. I'm not upset at all about their recycling attires, because they'll be the first for me!
i wasted so much money buying multiple versions of the same guys from JAKKS and i swore to myself that i would have patience, because in this hobby, the lack of patience costs at least $10 at a time. think of it this way, in a year, how many more figs will be out? pace yourselves, grasshoppers.

Kofi's elite and basic attires are indeed different, his Elite on the left his Basic on the right. either way it doesn't bother me, the real selling point for me is what has a better scan.

I buy all Basic Series.. I buy Elites of characters that come with something unique (ie: Matt Hardy coat, Christian jumpsuit) for PPV's I buy previously unreleased characters & attires I like alot.

I think it's fine. It's just more options and more attires, that's all. We are still getting plenty of variety. I think for how long Mattel has been around so far, we're getting really good variety.

than get just the elites opposed to basics... duh That's really easy to say. However, back in Jan, how were we supposed to know that Basic 1 Kofi would be made again in the same exact outfit in Elite 4? The problem isn't buying the Elites, because I am buying ALL of them. The problem is that it appears Elite figures are made in the same outfits as older Basics, so how do we know if Elites will be made in the same, or different outfits? I don't want to buy practically 2 identical figures. there is a stickied post here that shows what figures are coming out in later lines. check that out, and wait for both the basic and elite to be out. Then make your choice. the figures won't be sold out. there will always be a way to get it since it is only a few months old.

I just wish we could stop getting so many of the same people & get a deeper roster. Couldn't agree with you more. I wanna see a Sheamus figure already

SO TOTALY AGREE with you man out of active male superstars we already have 19 of the 24 on Raw and 20 of the 30 on SD, so I really don't see how you guys can bitch about a more in depth roster when we already have 80% of the roster in 3 months.

I get what you're saying. It's hard to pass up a Basic figure because an Elite might follow in the same attire... but then you could also miss out on Basic figures at that point. This is why I'm investing in the Basic line more and only buying the Elite's that are in better attires or just come with kick-ass things. For example... the Elite HBK. This attire is likely never going to be made in Basic form, so I went for the Elite.

Other than the lack of Divas, there are not that many more superstars on the current roster for Mattel to make. We've already gotten probably close to half of the male roster in just over 3 months, I think that Mattel is making them at a pretty good rate.

Yeah that is why I'm not getting Goldust or Regal because they will probably have elite figs in a short amount of time.
