The top thing I wish I had known was not to combine colllections before the storyline. I do read it. The art in the ilusetrstions is exquisite. I read fast amd was often bored in school. So I can’t help it, if there is some there there to read, I do. And pages randomly pop up without the context of characters setting the stage. There is no longer any penalty for completing a collection prior to it's quest. If you have collected any of the CIs before starting the quest you still have to get them on the designated quest step. If you assemble the collection item before the quest starts you get credit for it and you are not forced to consume fixers to create another (you do miss out on the character text box that tells you to assemble the thing). What may seem odd is that once the quest has started you also get credit for the CIs that you acquire randomly or by gift. So if you are stuck at a room or mode that you don't like putting the CI on your wish list or opening chests of CIs can save you the room play.

Reading at a higher level and bored in school? My family has several stories. My daughter was once caught in her grade school reading circle holding her book upside down. The teacher thought that she was goofing off and not paying attention so she called on her out of turn. My daughter read it without missing a beat. She had grown so tired of the slow pace that she was practicing reading upside down. She was put into a self-paced reading group because other kids tried upside down and failed.

I never thought of it as a pop-up book. I might have to print out some pages and cut and fold.
