Very nice!

I'm always interesting in whether people have mixed feelings on completing a set? Now that the search is over are you just going to move on to something else?

Sorry, maybe this psychology of collecting thing is stupid...

There is something of an obsessive-compulsive component to collecting. I remember something that Frank said a while back when he first started on his SB collection about being really energized by having this really big goal of getting all of the SB figs together. And then after being done with it for a while, it becomes a little less imperative and they get sold off. It really is the figures you want but don't have that you get get the most excited about.

Really nice together like that, was the Glow the last one you needed or was it something else?

That is very true. At least for me.

It's not that I don't enjoy the toys that I've managed to find, quite the contrary. There is no doubt though that on having them in my possession I seem to follow a pattern. "Ok, you go join your friends on the shelf while I go hunt down your missing brother..."

The chase is a huge part of this for me. I love it.

And now I will shut up and return the topic of this thread to its rightful owner and his very lovely collection of Ghostfighters.

I didn't really set out to complete the ghostfighters, they all just kinda fell into place. Once I found the solid black GF and GID GF, it only made sense to hunt down the only one I was missing.

It was the S7 sub. ghost w/orange trunks that I was missing, which was actually harder for me to find than the GID ghost.
Thanks for all the comments, and a big speacial thanks to Shape for helping me out!
