Kugai: Can you tell me please where you were able to get the kits of the Starfurys please?
I'd like to try a few but cannot locate any.
Thanks in advance.

I have around 30 different kits of Godzilla, but they're all based on the many variations in the designs throughout the history of the character. I do have three or four different kits of the same design, though.

I am proud of the fact that only three of them are unbuilt!

I have over 600 unbuilt kits. No opinion; just leave you with one of my favorite quotes - from Mick Jagger.

Now I'm feeling the need to get even MORE extra kits! Thanks, StevenQ. I'll send you the therapy bills for encouraging my obsessive behavior Tongue [:P]

Oh, well. I guess it's no worse than those who collest multiple bombers, tanks, or fighters to show different camo patterns or nose art.

I don't think there's anything wrong with collecting several of one model to make several variations. I've done it in the past. Some even collect several Enterprises just to make the different ships in the fleet. Unfortunately, most of us don't have the room for this. Smaller scales do help.
By the way, have you seen this for your Starfuries?

The "hoarding" I was referring to is collecting kits with no intention of building them or even selling them later for profit.

I on the other hand WILL build EVERY kit I have and EVERY ONE WILL BE A MASTERPIECE!!! BWAHAHAHAHA! ( < maniacal laughter ) Big Smile [:D]

I couldn't even find my way back to "normal" with the Hubble!

For a collector...when is too much? When you run out of room. Seriously unless you're hoarding like your other thread mentions I don't see any limit to your love affair with any type of model. I am starting my little collection of Macross/Robotech models and I'll build them too but when I cannot feasibly store them or show them without them interferring with other aspects of my life I'll stop.
