When building a set, do you assemble the minifigures first or last? Does it
depend exactly on the minifigures?
For some reason my own answer to this question has been gnawing at me as I
put them together last and don't know why I do it. It reminds me of the fact
that I eat each different kind of food on my plate one at a time instead of
taking bites of each in turn.
Perhaps in asking this question I am just seeking reassurance that I do it
the "normal" way. I would like to know other's opinions about this though.
