Seeing @fordracing31’s post about Aurora/Philip pins made me think about the Kiss set I have. I started thinking that I don’t collect princesses and that I only collect princes…the dudes. So I dug up my collection of the Kiss, which then reminded of the filigree pins. I’ve thought multiple times to get rid of these 2 sets, but they are kind of pretty. And then the random TLM character connection; I originally got Eric, Vanessa, and both Ursulas and somehow ended up with the other 8…probably the 4 pins looked disjointed to me without the others.

I am not a set completer - I prefer to focus on characters - but whenever I see full sets like these I get so jealous! These look so great all together

I am so much a completer - especially puzzles. It's an addiction. I envy you!

Not gonna lie, it makes my collection look weird to have random pins in character groupings but it helps my brain function better and saved me some money to just focus on specific characters. Although with focuses on characters like Stitch and Tinker Bell and Ariel.....it's not like I'm saving that much haha.

Aesthetically, having these full sets looks so much fancier so I do get FOMO
 
I have several sets that were attacked in 2 phases.

A. Get the pins that feature my character / theme
B. Over time, somehow end up with enough of the rest of the set that I decide to try to be set completest.

B is usually several years after A.

I think about Stitch collectors all the time. There is so much out there! I'm lucky with Lady as my main.

It's wild! I've tried to convince my son to get more specific like 'Stitch with Food' or 'Stitch with another character's but he likes them all haha

I’ve had to go more specific with my Stitch collection. It’s Stitch with food excluding fruit and ice cream. So drinks, popcorn, pizza, and other snacks. Although I have at times did not stick to my rule. I’m surprised at how many Stitch with pineapple and Stitch with ice cream pins I have.

Luckily, since I'm a Space Mountain collector I can often kill two birds with one stone since there is so many Stitch + Space Mtn collab pins haha
 
Wow, I’ve never seen that filigree kiss set before. It’s gorgeous! 😍

I love that Little Mermaid puzzle set too.

Those pins all look wonderful together. Thank you for sharing!
