Thanks for making my day, I love these 
The really weird thing is, once I put together a Bonkle set, I can’t forget the instructions. This rule does not apply to Titan sets and Playsets, however…

Before I build my sets, I like to admire any new parts or parts I didn’t have before, and see what they’ll look like on my self moc.

My “ritual” consists of opening and building the set, and then put it on my Desk until I can figure where I should place it in my fairly small and crowded room.
That’s… it really.

If you decide to do commissions and sell your masks, I think a lot of people would buy, you’re good at painting. The boards have a Marketplace category.

I guess I always put the mask on last…
And when moc-ing, the left arm always gets the cool armour.
2 sets per year max, although it’ll be hard choosing between getting Uxar and Akida next year.
I try getting the set that happens to break the mold most that year, while still being good.
e.g.: I got Basher because he had a bashing function, which no other set had that year.
Unfortunately, this usually results in me not getting one of those special masks, like the MoCr or MoCo.

but from now on I will always build the smaller sets, then larger sets
and stone is always first for whatever reason

I’ve always built as much as I can from looking at the box art, THEN go to the instructions, and by then I’ve got everything made except the torso, which is what the instructions usually start on Other than that, basic bag-sniffing like an addict, and then putting them on my shelves in a specific order with whatever bonus goodies they come with (Golden Masks, Skull Spiders, etc.) I also try to save to most visually appealing set for last; cuz I feel if I do that one first, I’ll forget about the others. Any extra ammo and the instructions go back in the box. (However with the 2016 Ammo holder-thingies that’s gonna be so amazing to have) All the while trying to do this as fast as possible so I can close the box and preserve the smell.

If the parts come in bags, I often mix them all together to make building the set more challenging!

same here
I do the same thing with the mask. I put it on last no matter what the instructions tell me, because it is kinda like the final touch that gives the thing it’s power.
