Poll Question : Add a toggle option to Rebels and Imperials?
Choice Votes Statistics
Heck yeah - R&I was lame, and I want to ignore it 22 55.000000 %
No way - R&I is legit, and I want it always there 5 12.500000 %
I could care less 13 32.500000 %

Should we be able to toggle the R&I set in our collection? Options

Is it just me?

I have a complete collection (IMO). But I didn't collect R&I. I thought it was an alright idea for people getting into the game late and needing old figures, (even though they could have picked better figures for the set!) BUT - R&I shouldn't be counted in our total of figures needed.

I'm not gonna lie - it bugs me a little when Bloomilk tells me my collection is not complete. I know it shouldn't, but it does. It tells me I am missing (for example) Boba Fett from R&I. WHAT? I have THREE of the exact same thing from Rebel Storm! I hate reprints as it is, but I draw the line at overpriced, out-dated rares and VRs that I already have.

My suggestion:

There should be a toggle option to have R&I as a part of our inventory only if we want it to be. It should please everyone this way. I have no idea how hard it would be to impliment.

I saw that MANY people reject R&I like I do in the complete collection poll, so I assume I am not alone in this.

Why not just tell "BlooMilk" that you already have those figures? (edit that set and place a 1 in all the "have" spots) I mean technically don't you already have them? (from RS...they were just reprints anyway...). Then your collection will be complete. BlooMilk

It is a bit bothersome to have that less than 100% collection rate due to R&I. :) If the fix is a relatively easy one, I would like to see the toggle option. I would not want to see R&I go away entirely since that is the only version of those pieces for some people.

BTW - By option 3, don't you mean 'could NOT care less'? Sorry, pet peeve of mine. If you could care less, it implies that there is some other issue that is less important and therefore possible to care less about. Many people using that expression really mean they could not care less, as in, there is nothing less important to them right now. Just playing with you - I always give my students a hard time about that one and could not resist. That's what we language teachers do for fun, I guess. BigGrin

Back to the topic at hand...

Lol, good point. I have used it for so long, I don't even think about it. I guess my (possibly weak) counter-arguement for it's use is that it is sarcasm. If we could only use purely literal language - it would get pretty boring. The purpose of language is to communicate, and so I appologize to anyone who I confused with that usage.

I have it set that way. It throws off the "value" of my collection in the tracker, and the total minis count, which are yet more petty annoyances that really don't matter much in the grand scheme of things. Razz

Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way too. I do know it may be petty, but let's face it - we're gamers and collectors. If we weren't in some ways a little anal retentive, we wouldn't be into minis. BigGrin

Yes I think the Same, Bloomilk will keep only in the minis of the sets and maybe the extra minis of Scenarios, but not R&I, it will be put out, greettings.
