Someone say there might be a total 600 something elites only?

I collect mainly Elites, but I’ll buy basics if I like them. Sometimes I’ll buy a basic of someone if it’s someone I want in my display but don’t wanna pay full price for the elite version. However I have noticed since the articulation change in basics I’ve been buying less figures.
Some basics just look off to me. Good examples being the Triple H from SummerSlam 1998 and the Battle Pack with RoadDogg. They both look odd to me. Part of it is the trunks mold legs that they have, but there’s something else that just makes me not love the figures. Also the Ascension Battle Pack figures look off to, especially Konnor. I had them and replaced them with the elites, even though I like the black attire better.

I own a few basics, but i have a very strict policy on buying them. I buy basics of legends (Honky Tonk Man, Iron Sheik, Sgt Slaughter, etc) and if i see others on clearance or at 5 Below I will pick some up. Got the entire 2018 Top Picks Basic set at Walmart for $3 each on clearance. Otherwise I never would have bought any of them. Same goes for Battle Packs. I have Hart Foundation, Bushwhackers, and Kane/Strowman. Working on getting Legion of Doom (so expensive!) and a few more like 80s Champs and the Warrior vs Honky Tonk. Otherwise I stay clear of both. I dont open my figures, I just collect them. And Basics will almost never gain a lot of value unless its a legend that becomes difficult to find. And even then, very little gain in value (ie $10-$30 5 years later, etc) I stick with Elites and I LOVE the Retros. |

I have all elites 1-68 times 3, and all exclusives, only line I’m missing a few from is the first run of Legends, and basics I have are just suited figures & women. Other than that no real basics |

I have basic suited flair and bob Orton. That’s it. I would have no problem chucking out the Orton though Lol, is it the Flashback Orton? With the MDM, Rick Rude, and evil Sgt Slaughter? I picked that Orton up at a flea market last week for $2. Otherwise I would never have bought it. |

I’ve got a small handful of basics as they fill gaps in my collection.
Hurricane
Green suit Ted
Bushwackers battle pack (I have both these and elite tho)
Undertaker and Piper eg’s
I’ve probably got more but I’m drawing a blank, never sure I’d suited figs count as one or the other too.

I have the basic Paul Orndorff but have it wearing the Jakks robe so it isn't noticeable.

Before I sold my collection I had hundreds of basics. It was most definitely spending addiction. It became an all-consuming thing to hunt down complete sets. When I quit it was around series 56 and I had all but maybe 20 basics then. While I enjoyed the attires and the look of the figures, they were no fun to play with and looked really vanilla on my shelf despite my best efforts. I have almost no basics except suited figures and women figures now.

I've only collected Elites for the last few years with the exception of the BAF Paul Bearer wave, but that was just for Bearer. I used the basics as crowd members in my arena.
