I tend to build very small armies if it's a character that A) I like and B) makes sense that you could have multiples. I think a lot of it has to do with my compulsiveness to have to buy a toy when I take a run. Sometimes, as behindthemask mentioned, there are no other figures that I want and I'll kind of just give in and buy one or two of an army builder type figure. I don't set out with any intention to buy a certain amount of any. I just buy a few until I think I'm good with that character. I also tend to only buy if I notice that the figure peg warms.
Sometimes I'll end up really liking a figure and immediately want to get multiples, like with MU AIM Soldier and GI JOE POC Alley Viper. I also couldn't resist building when they're on sale, like with the Shield/Hydra/Hand pack from TRU. I bought 6 of them at TRU for $9 each. Couldn't help it.
I hear you all about not having the room to display. I'll set up a display somewhere, take some pics and then tear it all down until next time. The best part of army building, though, is that when you do make a set-up the scene really fills out more. I've attached a few pics that I've taken with some of my army builders.
