I envy those who can afford to have as many as 2000 kits. But not to assemble them? Why, in the world???

Yeah,
It worries me a little - I know a guy who has 2000+ unbuilt kits, and another who has around 1200............What's the point, you ask? Is there one?
I admit I have around 80 unbuilt kits, but I don't go looking for new kits to buy before I build one I already own. I'll buy a new one if the subject matter "grabs" me - but I can't see much value in "hoarding" kits.
The only thing you'll do is make extra work for your dependants when your will goes through probate...................

Maybe to be able to satisfy oneself by being able to say "oh, I already have that one".

Just to be clear, I'm talking about people who just but tons of kits in boxes, never opening them, just for the sake of having them. I'm not talking about those who have a bunch in storage that they will build "someday" ( guilty of that myself ) or even those who see it as an investment. I'm talking about a small group I've seen who never intend to build or sell, but keep putting boxed kits away. I just don't get it.

Of course, sometimes this bunch comes in handy when they decide to dump parts of their collections of discontinued kitsBig Smile [:D].


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