[QUOTE="TheJabbaWookie, post: 501412, member: 9217"] My main area of interest has always been loose figures so any focus I started would be centred around those. While I have never had what I call a real focus I have accumulated a number of different variants of a figure in the past with the intentions of it being the start of a focus, and my choice for starting these was always around love for that figure. I have attempted it 3 times in the past and they have been with 3 of my favourite figures, all from the first 12... Han Solo, Leia and R2. In the end I gave up all 3 of them for similar reasons, namely that the variations were not significant enough, the cost and availability of the foreign variants was prohibitive and in the end I fell out of love with the collection. I’m currently toying with the idea of a Yoda focus. I have picked up a few variants, and find these more significant in their differences. I also find them easier to pick up on places like eBay if you know what you’re looking for without having to pay a fortune (I’m on a limited budget), whilst still presenting a significant challenge (and this is what excites me). And I also find myself looking at beyond the toys items and thinking actually I quite like that, perhaps that could be in my collection. I’ve also joined a Yoda FB group so who knows maybe this will be the one. [/QUOTE]
