You collect them? You play with them? If you use their pieces for a Moc. What is what you do with that Moc?
Mostly these two.
I collect them and… well I don’t really play with them more so mess with the functions and pose them on my shelf.
I collect and display them, occasionally playing with them a bit, and after several months use them for MOCing. And I display my MOCs, I don’t play with them.
I display them and get occasionally caught playing with them.
I put them on display in my bedroom, and sometimes I play with them.
I sniff them.
I stare at them every day when I wake up, to remind myself that one day it will be socially acceptable to wear Kanohi in public.
I buy them.
I drool over the box until I get them home and open them.
I dump the pieces.
I build the set.
I stare at the set for hours.
I play with the set.
I display the set.
Come back a day or so later and decide I don’t like how it looks.
I mod the set.
It stays on my shelf for eternity.
Collect and display and maybe some playing. I don’t moc with any of my sets.
I tear them apart and use their body parts to create an army.
in other words
I have no room to collect constraction figures so I have to scrap them for parts.
At this point i’m running out of space so i’m contemplating selling some of them to get extra cash for the newer sets
I used to keep the completed model built and slap it on to a shelf, but most of my constraction sets have now been broken apart and thrown into sorted bins.
In order:
Build the sets
Display them
Mod them
Take pictures of the Mod’s I like
Then scrap them for parts
Though I may keep 2016 Ekimu together. He really isn’t good for anything…
Buy, build, mod, display, break. Then I’ll come back every so often and rebuild and display it for a while before I get bored of it. The only CCBS set that has stayed built is General Grievous, and I’m hoping Umarak the Destroyer will also fill that role (when modded).
All of the above. With G2, my pattern has been: buy, build, play around with the sets for a few weeks, then start using their parts. The 2015 Toa probably stayed together the longest any wave of sets I have ever purchased, simply because I was too attached to them as the first wave of new BIONICLE sets that I couldn’t take them apart. The Uniters didn’t ladt nearly as long, but I’ll reassemble them when I get the Summer Sets so I can view them all together…
As for MOCs, before I started taking pics of them, I mostly built them for fun and played around with them a bit, before disassembling them. I have a pretty good visual memory, so I wanted to remake them, I probably could.
