You are right - they are not too bad to set up alone at all once you get the hang of it. Be sure to snap a few pics of the setup all cleaned up and ready to accept their new residents ... that sounds like a cool picture

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I hear that! I think I would try to sell them and just buy new ones once I had a new place.

And this is why I am downsizing my collection. Haha
I have about 15 statues right now and I had to relocate them to my parents temporarily, until I get a larger place, it was a nightmare.
