Totally agree 'major' variants to the next logical step after the 100. However after achieving that you'll most likely then wish to collect a full set of some of the foreign sets (ledy/glasslite etc..), I'm currently at this stage of collecting.

The whole coo thing never appealed to me neither. But each to there own.
