It just turned 3am here, I'm at work and not much to do. So I figured I'd start a topic and hopefully some of you night owls might jump in on this topic first. Ever had to really debate with yourself on whether you want to buy a certain figure or accessory? Other than that stupid Rousey elite with that super awesome table and tablecloth accessory, I've been really debating whether or not I want that new Sasha elite. I am not a fan of Sasha but I'm a HUGE Eddie Guerrero fan. So In turn, I REALLY want to get the Sasha cause it's in Eddie tribute gear but I REALLY dont want it cause its Sasha. Anyone ever have this hard of time deciding on something?

Mostly whether I want to stretch my era to add stuff that looks cool. Stuff like MVP, Morrison, Finley etc. I wanted to go to about 2003 but these guys I liked and still watched so got them or will do.

Shawn Michaels Retrofest in the Rockers gear. They will never make a Marty to go with it and the hair is the wrong color, so I really had to debate getting it. But I wanted a full set of Retrofest figures to keep MOC. Passed on it numerous times. I finally bought it a few weeks ago... then just bought ANOTHER one to open and repaint the hair because it was on clearance for less than ten dollars. So the one I wanted LEAST I ended up buying twice. Go figure.

Nia Jax. Not a fan but in the last year I've been adding a lot of women/divas figures. For the sake of the completist in me, I bought a cheap basic Nia figure as part of my Black Friday purchase from RSC. I don't mind the limited articulation because much like the Great Khali, a basic does about all the movement that Nia does in real life.

Anyone ever have this hard of time deciding on something? Swap the Sasha head with an Eddie head maybe? Lol Right now I cant decide if I want the Werewolf Roman to make an Elite version, it's too funny not to

The new usos. I got rid of a lot of figures this year and have only bought 2 or 3 since. The usos last elites made the cut as keepers, as I'm really torn as to keep them or get the new ones.

The Basic Ronda. I preordered her 3 times on Amazon and canceled all three times. I knew I was getting the Elite, then they unveiled the Ultimate figure which is absolutely everything I wanted. Then I saw the Basic at Target on Monday and I still bought it haha. I knew it was a place holder figure so I didn’t know why I was spending the money but I still did it.
In my experience if I debate with myself I most likely don’t want it. That usually doesn’t stop me from buying it though.

Most of the time my debate isn't on a figure but rather the price of a figure. Like I always debate on buying from ringside cause their prices are high

Oh yeah. I debate figure purchases all the time. ^^;
Like, for 8 years, I was debating on buying Mattel's versions of Demolition. I was happy with the Jakks versions--the tops were painted, there were multiple paint schemes, they had the entrance chaps. Then, over the last few years, one by one, the Jakks Demolition figures began to break. Most of my Jakks figures were going down this path. Mattel's figures are WAY more sturdy. So, I finally dropped the coin to get the Mattel Demolition figures, essentially upgrading.
Sasha Banks' WM35E figure is awesome, but that head is garbage. I replaced it with the B59 head.
WM34E Shawn Michaels was another long-time debate. I passed on the EG, 'cause, like Demolition, I was happy with the Jakks version. Then my local Marshall's had the WM34E HBK for dirt cheap. So, I began to think. I found someone selling the EG with the gear/kneepads for cheap. Then I got the B14 HBK for cheap. Stuck that head on the Elite. Yet another upgrade.
A debate that went in the direction of me not making the purchase, was the Epic Moments Shield set. I really wanted it. The box is sick. But, I didn't wanna have re-releases of 3 figures I already had and shirts I could have a friend make. I couldn't justify paying $60+ for a box. So I passed on it. Took a cool three months for me to make a final decision. Stuck the same figures with the Shield Reunion shirts in the TNFE3P box that I already had. Saved $60. XD

Debating as we speak to buy the new elite shinsuke and Samoa Joe. Their new face prints look amazing compared to their old headscans.

All the time. My original goal getting into this was collect at least one of everyone. Thus I just got the Mojo Rawley that is a character I have no interest in. But... he's in my case, represented in plastic.

I did this when the Wolfpac Randy Savage was released last year....I went back & forth because of the headscan & the way it was packaged because I’m a moc collector...never did buy it.

Both Austin Aries Mattel figures. I'm a big fan of the guy and I was super hype when his first WWE figures were released...but that headscan tho....
It was the dealbreaker for me but I also really wanted his first WWE figures so....yeah. I ended up not buying them because of the headscan.
