For me, I am a troop builder. Love the appearance of large masses of troops in formation. As I continued my troop building, I found one star wars figure I really like (Black Arc Trooper), then found shadow guards... bought truck loads of them, then Purple Clone Trooper... bought truck loads of them... then red clone troopers phase 1 armor and phase two armor... before I knew it... My Star Wars army looked as if it was starting up a rebellion. I had to take a few steps back and re-evaluate this dilemma. I was never into Star Wars but Hasbro has an impressive line of Clone/arc/stormtrooper line. Anything similar happen to you guys like this??? Where a domino effect happens and you don't even realize it?

I try to limit myself no matter how tempting it is. After a while i cut down the amount of troops i was buying from 10 to 5. I have thought about downsizing to 3 but can't bring myself to do it yet...

No, I limit myself. But only because I want to have cash to buy other things I would like to get. I would buy every trooper I find but since I budget myself, I can't.
I have tons of Star Wars troopers (of all kinds) and will probably continue to pick one up here or there, but only if I have the extra cash to do so.

It's taken a lot of self control, but it helps that funds and space are limited. My army is tiny, but it's manageable.
I went a little crazy for the Crimson Guards, they're the most I have at two squads of five. Then I have two squads each made of a Cobra Officer and three troopers. Most of my teams are 4-man: Air Troopers, BATS, Vipers. My smallest teams are 3-man Red Ninjas, 3-man Snow Serpent team, and 3 HISS drivers. I have a 2-man team of Paravipers. I only have one EEL and one Televiper so far, so they're like THE specialist for what they do, just like what they have on the Joe team Some I don't want to army-build like the Stinger Driver and Bazooka Trooper. |

That's how I ammassed such a big Star Wars collection in just over 1 year. It started out after Christmas at Wal*Mart, they had them on a little bit of a sale. I just wanted some of the clones from Episodes II & III. I kept seeing more and more different clones in Wal*Mart, Shopko, KMart, Toys R Us & Target. I started out with only the clones from Episodes II & II and then Stormtroopers, Biker Scouts, Tie Fighter Pilots, AT-AT Drivers. Then all of a sudden I went nuts and started buying everything Star Wars that I could get everywhere including on ebay. Before that 1 year and about a month went by I had/have around 400+ MOC/MIB Star Wars figures/vehicles and alot of the exclusives. Then I saw the 25th G.I.Joe line one day and forgot all about the Star Wars figs and haven't looked back since. Trying to sell or trade some of my Star Wars stuff now, starting to run out of room between the 2 lines and everything else I have.

I'm not some kind of crazy army builder, like some guys are on here, but I'll tell you this, "You know that scene in Episode I The Phantom Menace, with the Gungans vs the Battle Droids?" . . . Well, if I had astro turf I could make it happen. . . .
