Im sure there are many people that collect elites. I wanted some opinions on Tag Teams. What would you do if you had one, but not the other? I'm asking because I want to consolidate my collection and the I have 2 Tag Teams I want to complete, but I feel like it's hopeless haha. The 2 figures I need is prolly on everyone's wish list (everyone that collected late)
E7 Tyson Kidd
E6 JTG
Would you guys give up and sell their counterparts to condense your collection to core figures? I am torn on this issue, as I don't really feel the need to buy them for more than $25-$30 shipped.
Also, I've already decided that my next figure hunt on eBay will be for Mark Henry. I'm sure I want E15, but any opinion might help.... I collect loose!

I have both of those and have been thinking about grabbing DH Smith and Shad. But I too didn't want to spend a ton of money on them.

You're not missing out on Shad IMO. I bought it to go with JTG and because it was $10, but man, I quickly realized I have no emotional attachment to that figure or character. I recently became a fan of DH Smith's work in New Japan, but I don't like him enough to justify a crazy price.
I would keep the lone partners you have because I love Tyson's work & JTG is just a unique-looking figure.

The Shad figure sucks. I really held out to the last possible minute and bought one of the last ones that was left warming at K-mart. I appreciate having a full current roster, but I'd rather have my 16.99 back. The basic looks nicer IMO.

A lot of the early basics were extremely outdated as the Mattel deal was acquired in 2008 and they were working with stuff from that summer/fall for the earliest assortments. |

He only had short hair the last six months he was there. |

I had the same problem of having DH Smith and no Tyson, but I never really liked Smith that much. His body was used to make an elite Alex Riley and his head is now on my referee using BOPPV HBK.
I would LOVE to have had the problem of having Tyson Kidd and no Smith lol.

Hold out hope for a new Tyson elite. Otherwise you could try and make your own, if you don't mind non matching tights for the team. Recipe I almost used was basic Kidd head and elite Gabriel body, but I grabbed an elite Kidd off ebay.
