Full lineup or mini lineup?

[Suguri]

When you plan collectible lineups, do you prefer 5x2 (full) or 5x1 (mini)? Or both, perhaps?

...Because I like both!! Mini lineups are easier to plan out IMO, but I also tend to take advantage of full lineups with scenery and whatnot.

I’ve only ever had one line-up here on the forum, a few years ago. It was a full row of Lobo collectibles. I suppose I’ll go with full, considering it’s the only type I’ve had.

I love using both! At the moment, I'm partial to mini ones but in general both! The only reason I have a full one right now is because I have two completely different rows, so it feels like I still only have minis (don't question my logic please and thanks).

I do have a go-to lineup that is 5x2, but I'm going to take a break from it for a while, especially because there's a relatively quick succession of events going on

I voted for both. I like mini for patterns and I like full for no repetition set ups.

Full! If i can make it work. I love to have the top and bottom colors matching, so a full lineup of rows of moons, stars, crystals, or jellyfish with the colors matching is my favorite.

For Easter eggs- definitely full! But i don't care if the colors match or even go together at all, A
as long as it's 2 rows of eggs! And I rotate them out so they all get to be in the showcase.

i like to do full lineups if i can! if i cant make things work then definitely a one liner, they’re cute!

i’m picky so i like it when the backgrounds match or there’s some cohesion to it :]
i also like patterns (alternating, columns, idk what to call it but i like having a pair, something in the middle, then another pair)

it depends! i tend to use both based on how many of a certain collectible theme i have

for example i have 5 plushies so a mini lineup works better imo. but for stuff like flowers i have so many i can use both rows effectively.

I have 20 full lineups I can use throughout the entire year. Lineups that go well with the current month/holiday/season and lineups that fit the aesthetic/theme of whatever forum event is happening at the time. For example, Li'l Ears's favorite eggs for Easter, Princess and the Snow Bunnies for Christmas, Boo Eggs and Candies for Halloween.

I started working on my very first one in 2020 and I officially finished all 20 lineups last year, so no more waiting or stressing for anything, other than an actual Zelda collectible I guess, lol but honestly it really doesn't matter.

My full lineups are all 100% complete. I've given them all names and stories. Some are based on my favorite video games, favorite characters, some are just silly, fun ideas and some are based on my own OCs

I don't need to alter them or add anything else, and I'm done with date trading, thank God. Throughout a whole year, I'll basically just be switching between the same lineups, avatars and signatures. I'm thankful for that.

I tried out Sceneries once, but they're just not for me.

I prefer full lineups for that satisfying, 100% feel and quality, and because they allow more options/patterns, but I also think mini lineups have a certain appeal and charm. They're good for showing off that one very special collectible(s) as the centerpiece, along with other simple little ideas and easy patterns.

I currently have one mini lineup dedicated to my one and only Silver Trophy as the centerpiece. One day, however, I hope to accomplish a mini lineup of just Master Balls.

Almost there, just need one more

And if I somehow ever win a Pink Candy and/or Green Pinwheel, then yes, mythical lineup #21 would be mine, lol

I prefer a full lineup, but sometimes you can make something really cute with just five collectibles! I appreciate both!

As a minimalist at heart, I prefer mini lineups. I love the simplicity and the beauty that can be created with less!

Once Easter is over, I'll go back to alternating LOTV and rose crystals:

I'm 99.9% sure I "borrowed" this idea from @Millysaurusrexjr when these were first released. It's mini and gorgeous!
