As a Legends collector, and an 80s/90s fan, it’s really frustrating for me to have to potentially miss out on figures like Jimmy Hart, Suited Rick Rude, Tuxedo Vince and Okerlund, Paul Ellering, Dok Hendrix, etc or be forced to buy trash figures like Brie Bella or yet another Mysterio in order to complete the BAF.
I really think some of these talents would’ve done well in the Legends line. If obscure looks like Mean Mark or suited Warrior made it into the line, then I’m sure Rude or Okerlund would’ve been a hit.

I think when the line makes sense together a build a figure becomes a bonus. Like the wrestlemania series with baf vince. You had some last match attires that made sense the same kind of collector would want most of them.
When it's a wide mix of eras in one series it pisses me off what you must buy to get a baf. Let's be honest. Most people who remember warrior from survivor series 90 aren't clamoring for that becky or aj or drew. But do want dx rude. Same for those who remember dok Hendrix wouldn't likely want brie Bella or Damien priest. It's crappy to have to buy figures you have zero interest in to get one.

Yeah, I love the BAF concept - but mixing up different eras sucks. As a Legends collector, and an 80s/90s fan, it’s really frustrating for me to have to potentially miss out on figures like Jimmy Hart, Suited Rick Rude, Tuxedo Vince and Okerlund, Paul Ellering, Dok Hendrix, etc or be forced to buy trash figures like Brie Bella or yet another Mysterio in order to complete the BAF. Amen, brother. The one BAF series in ages where I actually wanted all the figures was the recent SummerSlam series and - sod's law - the BAF was one I wasn't bothered about (toddler Dominik)... 🤦♂️ |

How about A BAF that makes sense to the collected 4 figures. I hate that BAFs are packed with figures that I don’t want.
Like a DX series collect to make a Rick Rude. Or Nwo series to build a Bischoff. A ecw set to build a Paul. Etc.

Literally all of them. Suited figures sold well when they were elite versions. The only time they were easy to find was when they were in battlepacks. $10 for a suited elite figure? Easy. $20 for a suited elite figure paired with a basic? Harder to sell. It’s why I was able to snag so many COO Triple H and Daniel Bryan battlepacks at retail.

Literally all of them would sell because cena, reigns, styles would be double and triple packed in any elite set they where in.
Then there value would go up on secondary market because most of these baf would never get another one made.
