[QUOTE="Palifan, post: 496446, member: 4095"] I've never put a complete loose run together and never really wanted to for some reason. Growing up with SW figures from the first 12 those first figures where the only complete set I had that I played with all the time. I remember not getting Hammerhead from the next released wave and then probably getting around half the set from ESB and probably only a fifth from Jedi as the film didn't quite land for me and I was getting out of playing with toys. It's probably for the above that I set out to just concentrate on the first 12 released when I got back into collecting. This was the first completed loose run I worked on before moving onto the first 12 mocs and then finally first 12 Palitoy reseals. Since getting the reseals I then picked up the next 8 released loose along with all the Lukes and R2's from the first 3 films. I have also ended up with some nice ESB ones that were in lots I bought and for some reason I thought it was funny to put all the Ewoks together :lol: . The one thing I've found with the loose figures is that they don't seem to take up much space for me as they can normally be put in front of other bigger items or squeezed into gaps. Saying that though I don't really have any on display at the moment as I have lots of other loose figures out from other toy lines. Putting a complete loose run together has never been a goal for me so I'm happy with what I have although it's probably time to sell off some of the spares now as those are taking up storage space. The mocs/reseals are pretty special to me though and a big part of these figures is the card art so I can see why these can overtake the appeal of loose for some. Also with the carded figures they have the figure inside the bubble so you already have the figure which makes it less necessary to display a loose one along with it. With all of collecting it's each to their own so I say keep what's most important or particularly hard to get hold of and don't worry so much about the rest. I've always been impressed with how you let things go Mark when you've had enough of them, I tend to keep hold of everything but it doesn't really work with space which is why I'm now trying to thin things down. All the best with what you decide to do though, I'm sure it will be the right decision for you. Ian [/QUOTE]
