should I get? I have E18 but I'm just not crazy about it. I hate the scan and the boring brown trunks. I like the entrance coat, so I'll prob display the new figure with it on. I think B31 looks really good. Colored tats really make a basic better. I believe the scans are the same. Obv the accessories with E24 are better but I'm not going to display him with the shirt anyways. I have 2 white IC belts, and of course I'd like another one.
I usually don't make polls like this but I'm actually having a hard time deciding. And I'm not a basic hater nor an elitist.

Ok, I have basic 31 and I love it, pretty much spot on for me. However, the Elite 24 looks sick also, it comes with the IC belt which imo is worth that extra bit more for the elite.
It is up to you though bro. To me they are both super.

Get basic 31 as a placeholder until elite 24 comes out, that's what I'm doing anyway. If not, then wait or elite 24.

Well, after seeing Dean's elite fixup a couple weeks ago and love it. So that's the one I want. lol but I plan on getting 3 of the Basic and 1 or 2 of the Elite...with one each going to an Elite fixup. But just as is between the 2 I think the Basic looks better.

Skipping the Elite this time around since I already have the white IC belt and i do not need that Barrett Barrage shirt as I won't be displaying it with the shirt anyways. So Basic 31 Wade for me... Still waiting for it to arrive in the mail.. Hopefully soon.

To each is own, but I'll never understand the Elites always over Basics statements. The elite articulation does absolutely nothing for me display wise. Unless I am going to pose them, and the only one that would benefit would be hbk in his trademark position. In this case, however, another white IC belt would be worth the extra $7, so I'm probably going to buy B31 as a placeholder until I see E24 in person.

I have been waiting for a really good Barrett and I think E24 is finally going to be the figure I pick up. The scan is incredible, I love the trunks, and you get a title and shirt? Yes please.

I usually prefer Basics with Elite accessories for display purposes as well. The Elites don't stand as well and I honestly think a majority of the Elite body molds are off. As an example, Daniel Bryan's body doesn't look right as an Elite imo and looks far better as a Basic. Ziggler is another guy who I think is far better portrayed in Basic form. So I'm with you. I just wish the Basic figures came with some accessories. |

I like the elite 24. U get a shirt and a belt. Only complaint is he doesn't have the armtape.

Elites ARE NOT always better than Basics. It depends on the guy. Personally I think DBryans Basics (though less playable) are far superior looking to the Elites. Same goes for Kane, Tensai, and a few others..
But Wade is DEF on that list! I first bought B11 Wade, or TLC idfr. But I LOVED IT. I was so amped pwhen I bought the E18 and bam, dissapointment! For some reason I just didn't like how his elite figure looked, or felt. It was loose, wobbly, and just sucked. I'm trying to get rid of it bad.
With that said I'm easily looking for the B31, I actually found one and had it put on hold last night. But when I got there I found Giant and grabbed him and Rosa instead. I'm sure ill find him again and when I do I'm picking it up. I honestly miss having a basic Wade and I feel the B31 will easily be superior to the E24!

Where are people finding B31 at? I've seen B30 at Target and TRU. My WM's still have B29 and E21.

They are probably already under production at this point.I mean E22 is starting to hit retail stores now...And seeing July is almost over I think RSC will be getting their first shipment of Series 23 within the next two weeks. Which would mean they are starting on Series 24 anytime now. So I just don't see them changing it unless it's later in the production run like they did which Cody's pads and Christian's glasses |

My advice go to your nearest Target and have themdo a search they have on their computers that shows how many basics each store within 25 miles has. Thats what I did. I ended up in the middle of Boston lol. |

Cody's pads and Christian's glasses weren't really errors. Making a weird hybrid of pre-injury and post-injury Barrett that's not accurate to any stage of his career would be Mattel's most stupid mistake, and one I have a hard time believing they could actually make. |

It depends on your patience. I got B31 but also plan on getting B24. You're gonna have to wait til November to get E24 from RSC and until around Christmas to find at retail where you can get B31 now.

True words. And I already preordered Trish with FB Brock so screw it. I'm gonna go with B31 for now. |

Well, I hope I'm wrong, but all I can say is it's not like they didn't know what they were showing at SDCC and they did have the time and correct parts already made to have the correct looking figure at SDCC. So that's why I am hesitant to think it'll be corrected. I can't think of many protos that were corrected before the release. |
