Another reason why I wanted to sell them separately is because Darth Vader is
a main character. So is Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett and others. Battle droids,
scout troopers, rebel pilots, gungan warriors and others are just common
minifigs. I like to have common minifigs in large quantities, but only 1 or 2
commanders or main characters. So while it's OK to sell 20 battle droids, 40
pilots or 60 rebel technicians in the same lot since they're just a common
minifig, I don't see why anyone would want to have more than 1 or 2 Darth
Vaders in their collection. That's the reason I'm keeping 2 and letting the
other 8 go (in case something happens to one of them, I have a
replacement). :-)
