You just have to keep practicing! I don't know that I would classify myself as good at it, but I'm certainly up for the challenge! It really helps when the figures are distinctive. And on those rare occasions that the peep hole works out, that's a huge help as well!
And yeah - collect with a friend! That way you've got a home for the duplicates right off the bat!
Yeah, and with these sets you can usually go in together with a case and have two complete sets. I've done that a couple times with local collectors and it works out well.
That's exactly what I did with this set - the hardest part was finding an untouched box! First case we found had 18 in it, so we left it untouched and moved on to the next store. Got lucky there though, counted up the bags, squee-d for a moment, then took the whole thing up to the register! So much less stress than usual!
Meanwhile the 1/6 holiday series? Not so easy!!
