i'm in a constant debate with myself over how much of the g1 collection i want to pursue collecting... i still need a lot of sets  ... (like... 55-ish?... not including international variations!!!) yikes! i'm wondering how many of you are actually pursuing the ENTIRE collection. at this point i really have no interest in any of the fish or mer-pets that i don't have (i have the waterfall kitty ---though missing her hair extensions 'cause i threw them away as a child---, kitty w/seashell & baby, and mer-puppy w/boat at this point)... but then i keep thinking... well... if i get all the sets i REALLY want, then i'll probably just really want the sets that i want... and if i get the sets i want... then i'll probably really want the sets that i dont care that much about... so, question is: how much of the collection are you pursuing?and should i just go ahead and get all the sets, even the ones i'm not that interested in now.. if the opportunity arises.. or should i first focus on the sets i REALLY want? |

i would focus on the sets that you really want, because you may kick yourself later if you find that you are collecting sets that you really don't care for and then later on, you STILL don't really care for them. when i first started out, i can't believe i am admitting this, i almost bought the cartoon sets, just 'cause i thought they were cheap and thought i'd ended up getting them anyway. WRONG! i ain't ever adding those to my collection ever. piece of craps. anyway, i'm collecting most of them. with some of the dazzling and mer pets last. not too much into any of the mini surprise; maybe one day. and the necklaces are cute, but not too much into that right now. so try collecting what you really want, and decide about the others later. hope this helps. =]

oh sick THE CARTOON SETS?!?! hahaha... they really are an abomination to LPS!
haha, yeah-- well, thanks for your advice... well.. i'll probably just concentrate on the 30-or-so sets that i deeply desire... hahaha... oh, there's so many... i'm thankful i don't like the G2's... there's like... an infinite number!!!
oh, i'm excited... i think i'm going to get to go out to my parent's tonight and take pictures of my collection!!!!!

I concentrated on the ones I really wanted (sparkling and dazzling hair pets) and ended up with other sets just because they came in the same lots.
Now that I have almost all the sets, including a whole bunch I didn't want initially, I am focusing on the 1996 dazzling hair pets (ones I really want) and then sets I didn't want so much, like jewel pets, charms, sparkling baby ponies, merpets maybe, but I'm not going to spend nearly as much on those as I did on the ones I wanted.
And there are certain sets I just don't want, like monkeys, turtles, zoo playful ponies, cartoon pets, mini surprise families...
So I say spend your money on the ones you really want, and rare ones if they come up for a good price and you want them.

I'm not pursuing the entire collection. HOWEVER, i did at one point own approx. 60 sets of LPS stuff...now i only have the accessories and habitats to most of those sets...   so i am going to buy lots and put my accessories to them, and resell them completed i think if i had any kids in my life right now i'd want to give the sets of LPS to them. i haven't babysat in a while though and my cousin is too small! she'd probably eat them! the ones i like are the ready-to-go pets, the carry cases, the very early sets. there's plenty to like about the hair pets or the monkeys or the merpets though.  i'm glad i don't like the new ones, too!!! too many!!! bleehhhhhh! |

I'm aiming for an entire collection, (minus plush toys, cartoon crap and mini surprise families) I only need 24 more sets and I'm done! But two of these are the brush and grow filly and the stable playset which will never happen. At the moment I desperately want jewel pets and the merpets!
