I don't worry about it too much. I consider myself a model builder more than a model collector. My collection was accumulated prior to retirement solely to offset the reduction in income and give me sufficient kits to build over the next 5 to 10 years. Several of kits that I purchased over the past two years were OOP when I got them or have subsequently gone OOP. Although these kits will probably move lower on my "to build" list, eventually I'll build them.

Rare kits
Posted by overkillphil on Tuesday, January 11, 2005 10:58 AM
I saw in another thread that some one is planning to build the AMT XB-70 and I am planning on acquiring one myself. I am somewhat leary of building this kit since it was a limited edition and will probably become harder to find as time passes. I've heard stories about things like the F-108 Rapier that have become so valuable that no one will build them.
So my question is this: Do you have anything in your collection that you won't build because it is a rarity, or does that sort of thing even concern you?
