A lot of the joys of the hunt are gone. Mattels around here are way too easy to find. We need some real exclusives and chases. I am a fan of McFarlane Sportspicks Collector Level figures. Doing something similar with Elites would be a good idea. Different outfits, different surprise characters, actual decent belts ala Jakks 1/500, not like the terrible 1/1000 which are worthless and not the least bit rare. Basically, every figure is way too easy to find. I see every single Legend every single day. It's annoying. Animal was difficult for awhile, as were Kamala and Jake. Now I have no trouble finding anything. The thrill of the hunt is lost if I can just go to my local store and find everything there is to find every time I go. Add some intrigue. Lets get some surprises and rarities into the mix. Add some figures that completists feel the need to chase after. Return some of the thrill to the game.

I have yet to find Legends 2 and Basic 5 Hurricane and Knox.
If I wanted Legends 1 then for sure it would be quite easy to find them as my TRU has at least 2 of everyone.

I hate chase figures. I see no reason for them other than to feed the scalpers.

I don't know about chase figures, but I'd love to see more attire variants in the Legends/Elite lines. Maybe not drastic attire changes all the time, but more simple color variants would be nice.

Legends 1 Austin was a hard one for me to find. I finally did though. I am not really a big fan of chase figures either, mainly because they end up charging a ton of money for them if you missed them.

The thing about the WWE line is that having a paint variant would be taking away a figure they could release later.
In a line like DCUC where there is a deep pool of characters to choose from, it makes sense to have a variant because they will most likely not return to the character for a while if ever. WWE has about 60, and an even smaller percentage of them are big names that will always sell. Triple H has been released about 9 times in 9 months so it makes sense to save the variant.
And as a collecter I can't imagine why you would complain about finding everything you want easily. That sounds pretty prime to me.

I agree about the 1/1000 belts, They are hideous and all too common. they could have molded ACTUAL WWE titles using the same materials that were used create those pieces of s**t.
Im hoping that's what they do later in the liscence. Even if its just one of the titles per series.

I am still on the chase for a lot of figures, in fact, I have never found any elite 2 or 3 and have yet to find elite Rey and Ziggler, and have not seen basic Knox yet. AND I have only found Jake The Snake and Iron Sheik. Oh, and I have yet to find legends Steamboat or Austin.
