Random collector question here, but does anyone else feel weird about only buying certain characters from each set?
Yes, I am :-D I'm closer to a completist than a selecter collector

I have most of original character from movies, except a few that I don't like as tsum and as a character, like Perry, Doormouse or Miss Bunny), but those are just a few, I mostly buy full sets. There are a few characters I don't care enough but I like as tsums, and others I like the character but not to much the tsum and I buy both the same :-D And sometime I cannot choose a buy everyone because how I'm going to pass on him, poor him, like my daughter uses to say :-D
It's easy to pass with a version of a character because with original version is enough, but I do really feel guilty if I pass just on one or two
I want to start collecting more Tsum Tsums but I am overwhelmed by how many there are. I only have one tiny Piglet and a few of the small plastic ones.
Part of me wants to pick and choose the characters I like best but I kind of want the 'whole' set.
I've been here for 15 months. My advide: do not want the "whole" set

if by the set you mean all the tsums...
You should take a look at
www.tsumtsumcentral.com to understand why I say so...
Right now there are:
-211 original characters from Disney and Pixar (I count those with expression like Timothy Mouse when that's the only version, but not costume tsum like Valentine Tramp, that we have to receive someday as regular tsum).
-16 characters from Marvel (plus 7 more next TTT)
-19 characters from Star Wars (plus Battle Boba Fett on May 4th, and 7 more next month)
-21 characters from Parks (Haunted Mansion, etc.)
-306 costume characters (plus 4 more next week with 2nd Osaka box set). The character with most costume tsum is Minnie with 31 versions.
And there are two TTT (Tsum Tsum Tuesday) everymonth so that's means around 12-20 original characters every month, plus Japan sets, plus all the costume sets (Christmas, Valentines, Cats set, Annyversary, Dressed box set, etc.).
And more than 1/5 of all of those are sold out already (you cannot find them at DS or even Target) so you have to find them and pay a reseller price. Most of the movie characters you can buy for $10-12 but some of them, the oldest and the LE, can go to $50 or even $80-100. The most expensive tsums right now are the Sheep set (around $65 each one), Maihama set ($55), D23 ($30-70), King of Hearts, Doormouse and March Hare from first Alice set ($60-100), and of course Cleo and Three little pigs and the wolf. The last Cleo I saw cost $300, the last set of Three pigs and wolf cost $500, I both were sold in less than 30 minutes.
So... :-D
If you start to buy complete set then you will want all past complete sets too... Much better, cheaper and less room to buy just the characters you like

Unless you like more than 160 characters and all the Minnies, like myself
