[QUOTE="TrooperWill, post: 496394, member: 9690"] i feel a little different, in that i think a loose set is a great place to start, a great display and a very visual reference for collectors. in completing a set you learn every figure in the series by heart, become familiar with weapons, capes etc. its entirely up to you if you then decide to get rid of it and focus on one character or group and sell off the others, or pop them in storage, but its so satisfying to track down the last few you need and complete your display. i loved putting together my first run, especially as i did a lot of it through Facebook trades so i wasn't melting my credit card on eBay, it was a great adventure, i met some great collectors and learned a great deal. im now in the process of upgrading some of my rougher figures to nicer examples which make me even more proud of my display. im not one for lining them up on parade either, preferring to do dioramas and scenes like Hoth and Endor shelves. this means im always fiddling with them and changing the displays, which keeps them fresh. i can see how people can become bored of 96 figures on parade, but setting up the bar from Tattooine or the trenches of Hoth is great fun and very rewarding too. but thats the beauty of your collection, its YOURS! do what you like, keep them in a shoe-box and display your MOC if that what you like, but be happy and proud.
