At one time I did have every Decoration. Gave that up a while back.
Usually have a smokin' park with new Dragons and Pedestals acquired in short order.
Here is my current quandry: I am planning on redecorating my entire park from scratch and am thinking about selling off all of my Twin Pedestals. They take up so much space and even factoring in the two new Islands, things would be cramped. That being said, what if I sell them and then BFS makes it a goal? Or what if they take my suggestion and give us an alternate park for our Twins and Twin Eggs. I would be crushed if I had sold them all off. I actually have more Twin Pedestals than Twin Dragons because when there wasn't enough space or storage for dragons I kept them as eggs instead. Wish I could now turn those Twin Pedestals into Twin Dragons.
So what should I do: sell? don't sell? Help fellow Valers, you're my only hope! 🤖
I say when in doubt, stick to your hoarding tendencies. Every once in a while I think about selling my regular pedestals (I'm trying to collect all twin pedestals) even before I get the twin version. ... ... But I just can't bring myself to do it!

I quit collecting twin eggs a few months ago, but haven't hit "decorating urgency" yet to sell them off. Sounds like you are there. All of mine were breeding fails - none striven for as N/A does.

I'd say you should keep them Cyn. I know they take up a lot of space but maybe you could use them as an island border or hide them behind some habitats if you don't like how they look. I have a feeling we will have space for them soon enough... I sure hope so anyways because I'm about to have a second egg island to fit them after once I clear the obstacles in the next event. It's taking up all my island real estate!

Sell. The twin eggs are cramping your style and not that pretty. If the game changes, you get a new goal
Well, it should be no surprise that I am an Exteme Completionist. I want to have a twin, non twin adult, and non twin baby of each dragon (juvenile form if they look special, like the chrysalis dragons). Ideally I'd be able to display two of each, right now I'm struggling to share one of each and keep my park layout as much the same as possible. I have 1.5 egg islands, which I display the twin and non twin (if I didn't show both, it would feel incomplete). I have definitely spent hours rearranging the main egg pedestal grid several times to get it looking just right. I'd say I'm an egg-fanatic lol, but I think my island looks eggs-actly how I want it (ok I promise I'm done with the bad puns). I also really like the idea of trying to show all the limited hybrid dragons on one island, which I was doing successfully until we reached over 300 dragons. I even had a seasonal habitat in the middle, with the limited decorations around the habitats, a kind of calendar of the limited hybrids, but there are just so many now and even with 5 spots in each habitat, it's so hard to fit all the limiteds in about 10 habitats. Pairing an epic type or two with the primary elements in one island, such as metal and treasure, water and moon, fire and apocalypse, etc. is another part of my current park layout. The islands but could certainly use more space, or just an even distribution of space, to make things fit a bit better. Those dang 3x3 portals are such a big nuisance to have to place. I also need to have one of each decoration, habitat, and building, even if I don't like how it looks--the only exception being the racetrack, since it takes up soooo much room and we can't even store it! I did mention the storage problem to BFS but I don't know if that will be changed any time soon, it's a low priority concern. I sell it, rebuy it, sell again, and dislike the build time but it's a minor inconvenience. The paths and new blocks are cool and helpful to create visual effects or nice borders, but I don't use them all that often outside of my egg island. But of course want to collect each one of those as well.
Thanks everyone for your input! Still deciding and probably won't make a final decision until I actually start redecorating. If frustration kicks in, they're gone. If I can find places to stash them, they stay.
I really don't want more storage. Why hide away every thing you have worked so hard to acquire? What is needed is more real estate. I do not believe BFS has hit the right mark for that yet. If they aren't going to give us room to display twins and decorations, why give them to us to begin with?
I went with regular completionist. That fits me the most. I really only want one dragon and egg of each. I have a few I have more of like Chrysalis dragons and Berry because I think the different stages are really interesting. And a few I have seconds/triples because of the DC they bring in. I do love the events. I also like to decorate my park with themes on each island, but I don't want or need all the decorations. Family player fits as we have 4 games in our household although I am the most dedicated with two accounts and dragonsit occasionally for the other two when needed. I like twins when it is a dragon I need or a family member needs, but don't collect them and I don't like the eggs as well as a non twin egg.

I would keep the twin eggs and sell off the regular eggs, because if you change your mind, they will be much easier to re-collect.
I am a completionist, but not extreme. Actually, I am more of an obsessed collector. 😂😬 For now, I am collecting one of each dragon and the eggs. I had not been saving twins, but the twins weekend changed that, so now am also dropping the twins in the hibernation cave until I decide what to do with them, lol. I like having something to work towards, so the other things can come later,ol.

I choose "other" because I'm a sub-genre of the Stress Free type.
I like to get some of the dragons when they first come out, but only if they're the really cute/pretty ones. I don't feel bad about not getting them right away because I know I'll get them eventually, but it can be disappointing if it's super cute and I really want it (example - the time I wanted Thistle and it took me weeks to get it).
I'm not collecting twins or pedestals. The enjoyment I get comes from collecting cute, lovely, adorable little dragons and watching them play. I don't feel the need to have one of every kind. I only want the cute/pretty dragons. My dragonarium will never breathe fire and I'm okay with that. Because as long as I can watch my little dragons playing in the park I'm happy.
So I guess you could say I'm a Semi-Stress Free Cuteness Collector.

If anybody knows me they will know that if a big time decorators...and, yes I spent time to make sure I am satisfied w/ the final look down to the littlest details.
DragonMoonX - I like to keep my dragons small, and most of the displayed dragons in my park are babified. I am thinking of an island with only cute baby dragons, the thought of it makes me smile already.
Some friends touch your heart in a way that you can never erase.
I'm an extreme/regular collector who only collects 2 dragons because of the possible dragonarium effects (sparkling or something). I won't collect twin eggs because of the way the eggs are distorted by the twin shine. I have to collect all of the regular eggs even the not pretty ones because it is a goal for the dragonarium to do something (I think still confused on that one).
Decorator when I have time but can get stuck with perfectionism, eg. I need to buy more habitats but want to know what the optimum habitats should be for best layout, display of dragons and DC earnings🤓. Would do King Midas stuff if the math didn't frustrate and hurt my poor brain so much🤕!
Definitely not stress free, re perfectionist nature, so although I love events they tire me out with trying to stay on top of everything so I can get absolutely everything!!
I guess social butterfly fits since DV is the only reason I even started a Facebook account that I never look at.
Addicted?!? Well DUH🙄! Aren't all of us on this forum? This is the only reason Family guy would apply as well since I got both my kids to start a park and started one for my husband on my phone (which he knows he can look at but better not do anything on it without asking😏). Just so I could get a gem/ dragon treats exchange going 🤑💎!
I chose other even though I changed back and forth from extreme. I can not bring myself to collect the twin eggs and I have all but 1 decoration which I absolutely hate. However if for some reason collecting those items would get the dragonarium to do something cool I would collect them in a heartbeat.😉

With the demise of game centre I just started in FB to be able to friend people from this forum and join in on the fun. Please message me if you want to send a friend request so I know to watch for you😊, I never check FB otherwise. I'm deleting random requests way too many of those 😮.

I'm a Completionist, but only for dragons. I enjoy decorating my islands, but have saved my gems for upgrading habitats &' speeding up breedings & incubation times. And I'm a Family Gal, I started my son, 2 nephews, 2 nieces and my aunt all playing.
Not a complete completionist, if you know what I mean. Would eventually like to have a twin and non twin of every dragon, along with each pedestal. Who cares about twin pedestals? I don't mind if I don't have the twin or the pedestal for each dragon. So long as I have one of each dragon, I'm relatively happy. Also one of each limited decoration!
I downloaded the app so that I'd have something else to talk about with a couple of grandkids. I now have 80 some dragons and no clue what I'm doing. Oh, well ...
