[QUOTE="Palifan, post: 282561, member: 4095"] Completely understand both sides of the fence, but to me the more focus collectors we have, the more SW sweetness the tiddlers like me can view and see all in one place. I totally agree with both you and Joe on this point about focus collecting and was certainly not talking about that area of variant collecting earlier. Finding all those figures out there with even the slightest difference to their packaging or COO/sculpt/paintwork, is a real achievement to put together in one place and also important to document. New discoveries turn up all the time to expand peoples collections and also keep the hobby alive. I've seen some truly stunning character focuses on here and other sites that highlight just how many differences there are in seemingly the same character. Nick's Jawa focus is certainly up there with other character focuses I've seen over the years. I thought I should mention this to make sure I wasn't miss understood with my earlier comment. When people set their mind to collecting in one particular area I think they deserve to have any variation out there that they've spent their time tracking down. I know from personal experience that it's about the thrill of the hunt tracking down those gaps in our collections and some of those items maybe very rare and few and far between but it's great to see someone find them when they're willing to put everything into it. I don't see that side as hoarding or not sharing at all as it's all about finding and collecting all those differences in one place for the focus collector. Looking forward to seeing those new discoveries in later posts! :D Ian [/QUOTE]
