Cool to see MOC pics of Elite 41 finally surface. Also cool to feel like I'm at a point in my collection where I can be much more selective with which figures I buy. I by no means am a "completionist", but I do feel the urge to fill gaps that I know exist (either thru purchase or customizing) and it is kind of a relief to be at the point where, unless an updated attire is head and shoulders better than the one I have, I'm fine with letting a figure pass by. I remember vividly a number of years ago feeling stressed that all these figures I didn't have were coming out and I couldn't afford to keep up. As the collection has grown, the enjoyment of adding a piece here and there (and the release of the pressure to have to find so much) has made it infinitely more fun. Now the things that stress me out are finding room for one more, or that one of my kids will knock them all over...or worse yet...want to PLAY WITH THEM!!

Now the things that stress me out are finding room for one more, or that one of my kids will knock them all over...or worse yet...want to PLAY WITH THEM!! I used to feel that way too. Then a big factor in helping me not want to collect every figure that came out was the simple fact that the WWE product for the past year has been quite horrible. I wanted to cheer on guys like Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler to name a few, but the WWE either pulled the carpet out from underneath them, or pushed them too hard to the point of not liking them, or having them job big main event matches. So the only current figures I own are an elite Luke Harper and a few elite Seth Rollins. And various divas I enjoy. I rather collect guys from the Attitude Era, New Generation or the Golden Era which was Hulkamania and Macho Madness. It also helps on saving money in your pocket not having to go out and purchase every new wrestling figure that comes out. And with the exchange rate being so horrible right now for us, if we got a huge lot of figures off of Ringside and have it sent here to Canada, we are looking at paying double what the figures are worth right now.

Looks VERY good!! Lookin' to try and find Lita and Finn, mainly. The others I can do without. Considering 1-2-3 Kid, but the Elite 33 X-Pac I got fills the Sean Waltman spot I wanted in my collection.

I can't wait for E41 to hit retail, that Lita is way better then i expected! it's a pleasant surprise that the thong is showing since that was her gimmick for most of the attitude era.

I still haven't seen B57 in stores yet (it's gotta be coming soon since they tidied up the aisle presumably for ordering purposes) and we've got a shelf full of E38 D.Bry's. I feel bad for laughing at the people that had Cesaro's clogging everywhere because now I'm in their boat.

Yeah...I'm still waiting on Elite 39 myself, staring at unending fields of E38.
But...I refuse to complain about an over saturation of wrestling figs based on how things once were #neverforget

The only thing I've seen from 39 has been Sid and Mizdow... Picked up Sid and the only other one I want from that series is Bulldog. Then 40 can go ahead and show up anytime it so desires.

I'm really hoping we get the Brock and taker mania elites. They have started to hit TRU in the states.
