Army building took up most of my time and funding for more than two years. Hard to get new figures when you are buying 150 of the same 6 figures over and over and over. It was a beautiful sickness. Done now, for the most part, and can focus going back and filling holes. That said, still have one of the deepest Avenger roosters out there.

Also have our MASSIVE army of SHIELD that has never been seen. Taking some new Skrull and HYDRA and maybe AIM pics this weekend. Weather permitting, it is Northern England after all and we get about 12 sunny days a year!!!

I don't mean to offend anyone, but I really do not get army building like that.

Army building, as a concept, is alright. There are a few things I want to build a limited army of(say, 3 or 4 of the same figure, +a general of some kind), but I don't get the appeal of 100+ of the same figure. It stops being a cool thing on your shelf and becomes figure spam after a while.

There are exceptions, like separating Stormtrooper armybuilds by variant, but I just don't get having a million of the EXACT SAME AIM soldier on your shelf.
