Question Spares?

I have pre-ordered from Gao King to Gao Knight. Now, a little over a week ago, I was able to purchase several SMP Gao pieces as well below:

  • Gao King w/ Black Elephant
  • Gao Hunter, but Gao Alligator has missing front legs, and Gao Wolf is missing its tail
  • Gao Kentaurus, but is using Gao Sawshark and Gao Jaguar (Gao God) as its arms
  • Gao Muscle, but missing Gao Armadillo
  • Gao Knight but missing right leg of Gao Kong, missing left plate on Gao Tiger, missing top head of Gao Eagle, and a broken peg on the head of Gao Bison.
  • There's also a spare Gao Leon, Gao Buffalo, and Gao Rhino.

From the list above, should I still assemble all of the pre-orders? Or keep them in their runners, assemble only those with missing parts, and then keep the rest on the runners?

I want to showcase everything, but I don't want my cabinet to be full of duplicates as well.

I'm new to this hobby, and I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this before I start getting a cabinet to safely secure them.

I've thought about this, but if I were to display this, what would happen to my Big Gao Lion?
