Like I spent so much time looking and wanting it that now that's mine it seems to sparkle just a little bit less. That's how it goes sometimes though, and then you're on the hunt for another.

I also keep him apart from ESB Fett, but mostly due to him not being a numbered figure and not an actual film character.

I felt the same way when I finally found my Proto Fett back in October. It was definitely a very anticlimactic event.
Instead of feeling excited that I finally found him, I felt relieved that I wouldn't have to obsessively check out Walgreens locations on a regular basis, for the foreseeable future.
I'm glad that I have him, but, like you guys, I just don't consider him to be an integral part of my collection.
