Basic or elite.....whichever comes first. I dont subscribe to the one type over another type theory. For instance i found the elite Big E before i ever saw the basic one. So i bought that. Conversely if i see a basic Wyatt before an elite,then thats the way im going. Generally speaking i try to buy at least 1 basic and 1 elite of everybody anyway.

I buy both and I kind of have a system for doing so. I will buy any figure elite or basic if I think it will be the only one made… hence why I purchased Bruno Sammartino. I buy basics for my fig fed and I buy elites to display. Elites are more for collecting for me and basics are more for playing with.

I only buy Basics if it's a "First Time in the Line" character who doesn't have an Elite yet.
Other than that, I try not to buy Basics unless I'm trying to build something.

For me, it really depends. I usually only preorder elites because basics I can almost always find in stores. But if I find a basic at retail before the elite arrives on preorder, I'll buy it for a hand/head swap (I like to have two of the "mic" hands on my figures and usually the basic has the opposite open hand to the elite) then just sell it on eBay.
But I bought the basic shield 3 pack to keep on card, and I've now ordered both the basics and elites of the Wyatts. So, like I said, it's kind of a crapshoot.

It really depends which is the better representation. I bought basic Big E and skilled the Elite because the basic is better. Usually elites are better, so that's why most of my collection is Elite. My biggest problem with basics are how close their legs are together

Elites only, Basics are realistically only for the kids to play with.

I will get the Elites and basic versions. I feel they both bring something to my collection that I need.

85% of the time I buy Elites only.
But for lower card guys I'll sometimes get the Basic.

I don't like Elites, because they have a lot of articulations. I prefer collect Basics, but when you're playing of making photos, Elite is the best.

I haven't bought any basic superstars since the Entrance Greats line ended.
Might break the streak with that purple Jericho out now and that Hitman Punk coming up.

I stick to elites mainly but I do have a couple of basics (zeke and perfect). I'm really debating whether I should wait on the Usos or not since I don't know if/when we will get elites of them.

I prefer Elites but collect the Basic Diva's & Basic figs like Vickie Guerrero, Ricardo Rodriguez, Hornswoggle & every Basic Cody Rhodes.
At the end of the day a awesome figure is an awesome figure basic or elite, if I like it I'll buy it! ^-^
