I've seen posts on here for peeps who have 50 Vipers, 100 BATS (exageration) wanting dozens of this or that...
...Seriously...What do you really do with them? BESIDES make it harder for others to find, but then again, I AM one who goes by the "first see first sold" rule. Yes, at last count I have 14 Vipers, 9 Blue Shirts (Not counting Flint/Mechanics, Stinger Drivers, and Bazooka Troopers, then it would be 21), and 11 of the various BATS. But I have an excuse...I do dios with them. Those who don't, what do you REALLY do with them? Besides make it a pian in the ass to dust? I'm not berating anyone, or judging anyone's foolishness, I'm genuinley intrigued. I saw a post on here a while back where some person had DOZENS of HISS tanks all on display in a basement. Is that the extent of it? DISPLAY? And if so, why DOZENS (HUNDREDS?) if it's just gonna be in a basement? At least for me, When I'm working on my photo comics, I want to have several cannon fodder-if need-be in any given shot. If it's a far away shot then of course I'll need more to fill the screen. It just blows my mind that someone would want a DOZEN of the turqouise Ninja Viper. My "army Builder" to date... Sorta... Trooper 9 Officer 7 (one being a Best of the 80's DVD pack with swapped head) Stinger Driver 3 Air Trooper 4 Red Ninja 6 (plus 1 leader and two of my Gold Ninjas, 2 Cobra 5 Pack #2 Storm Shadow repaints) CGs 9 (Not including officer, mixed between W5 and removable helmeted) IGs 4 plus one officer Snow Serps 4 +1 officer EELS 4 Divers 2 2 Desert EODs 1 Hostile Environment 1 Hostile Flamer (heh) 4 Para Vipers 10 Standard Vipers 2 Chrome Vipers 1 "SAW" Viper (Arctic Heavy Weapons) 1 Viper Commander (Arctic Viper) 4 Red Resolute Officers 4 Red Resolute Troopers 1 Blue Resolute Officer (Got Para Viper's goggles on his helmet) 8 Resolute Blue Troopers 2 Claw "Cherry Vipers" 6 HISS Drivers 2 CrimHISS Gunners 2 Televipers 1 Tele-Commander (Arctic Televiper head on Scrap Iron body sans vest) 4 W8 BATS 1 DVD BATS 4 Resolute Shadow BAT 2 "Spore" BATS (HoH) Probaly/maybe more...but this list is off the top of my head. So to those who don't dio....WHY?

I put all of mine on awsome display for me myself and I. As kid I always wanted a huge army, and now I do. Everytime I walk in my room and see all them nicely placed in my nice cabinets and shelves, I remeber what I didn't get as a kid and I guess I feel some sort of completion that I now have it all, either what I lost or I destroyed or never got....

35 Alley Vipers between the 3 of us, Night Viper ALMOST as much But we were KIDS back then, literally playing with them for hours on end. And while I make the excuse "I'm doing dios!", I'm still playing, I still have myself limited to what can fit in a 640 by 480 shot!

lol Nice!
I admit...I play when I'm in dio mode, otherwise I have them on shelves all over my room and inbetween photo shoots, I WILL literally sit there and stare at them all. Helps me think of ideas But when it comes time for shooting, yeah, there all over the place in clustered heaps, much to the annoyance of my room mate lol
