Why do I collect the Minifigures Series?

I wonder sometimes.

Since the launch of this range at LEGO, I got caught up in the game: 16 characters, varied, equipped, colored, in their opaque bags, it's tempting.

I had overlooked the first two series, with a little contempt I must admit for these characters, neither heroes, nor known, nor licensed. And then with the arrival of series 3 (8803), I changed my mind.
I don't know why anymore, maybe because of the elf or the color of the bag. Series 4 (8804) did not disappoint me with its hazmat guy. series 5 (8805) neither with his Gladiator and his Evil Dwarf.

So I caught up my delay by getting the first two series released in 2010 (8683 & 8684) and since I am addicted. Addicted to these bags each containing a character with his accessories, his story, his possibilities. My only concern, to be honest, is to keep up with the pace. We are already in the 6th series and we already know that there will be at least 2 more. And I know that I will continue to buy these characters ...

I have just pre-ordered my box of 60 sachets of the 6 series (8827). And I'm already looking forward to receiving her especially for Lady Liberty and  Roman Soldier, and buy the series 7 (8831), and the 8 series ... Often I tell myself that the space and the budget that I allocate to this range would be worth being allocated to something else. But no, the collectible is a disease that pushes you to complete series, ranges, families ... so I surrender and I continue.

If you haven't bought at least one of these minifigs, you can't figure it out ...
