[QUOTE="SAVORY100, post: 501409, member: 5830"] Its a bit like water circling a plug hole.. picks up the occasional bit of debris on the way and eventually finds the center! :lol: I started off with Fett.. funnily enough a figure that I loathe, but that was more to do with a mug I owned in the mid-nineties and the artwork on it was cool, I had vintage a Slave 1 from my early collecting and a few loose in various colours, then I looked at MoC prices and realised that (especially as its not a fave fig) they prices are just daft. I switched over to R2-D2, again not due to figures or MoC, I picked up an R2 phone and built it around that! Finally I looked at my Moc Wall and thought about which card art I liked the most and it decided on Han Solo. I had a 12 back, an ESB carded and a Trilogo. I went after the Alt-Art Jedi and had a nice set. Built it on that really... Han became more challenging and expensive over time, but instead of switching, I added two 'side focus character runs' on my two favourite figures from childhood, or at least the two most played with in battles.. Rebel Commando and Hoth Rebel Soldier. As others have said, you may trip and stumble along the path, but somewhere along the journey you'll work out which direction is right for you.. if at all... You may just want to complete a Palitoy Debut Run.. who knows what will happen... [/QUOTE]
