Me and some of my friends were at my buddy's toy shop just shooting the breeze when one of my friends pointed out the lack of legends in some of the new elite sets. Don't get me wrong, we happy as heck that the current roster is getting some attention for those that are really into the current product but we decided to make a promise to only buy legend figures from now on. We don't have a ton of money to spend on collecting like perhaps others do but what money we do put into the product we want all 100 percent to support the legend figures. What about you guys? You collect both current and legend, or just legend only??

For Mattel I’m only doing WWE 02-08 since that’s my nostalgia era and ECW

Legends only....mostly Nwa & Wcw but I’m still selective, which is why my collection is relatively small....for me it’s quality over quantity

My buddy’s uncle found a Kamala moon belly moc and we decided to try to trade it to Bill for a loose Nakamura in red pants, but he wouldn’t make the trade.

Supporting the overall brand is how and why we get legends…

They decided while shooting the breeze at his buddy’s toy shop. Then suddenly a bidding war broke out over an Elite 34 Hulk Hogan figure...... |

The only current era figures I've bought have been the Brock and Charlotte UE's. Other than that, all legends for me.

I used to just grab guys I like, but sometimes in 2019, I just started buying every current roster figured and a legend here or there.

I'm very selective with what I buy these days, and I've downsized my collection by a heck of a lot. Nowadays, I just collect Ultimates and Elites of my favourite wrestlers.

You and your friends really got me thinking and I also came to a decision. I think I’m gonna only buy Owen Hart’s and Chris Benoit’s. It’s going to save me a ton of money and keep my collection minimal.

But your future self needs to find a way to come back in time. This way he can remind you that where he comes from 15 or so years from now the modem guys you are passing on are now considered legends. And there will be bidding wars at your buddy’s toy shop for these modern wrestlers you are passing on. So I think you need to buy them now while you can afford them.
Seriously just buy who you like.
