I think I've been collecting too many kits....

I needed to update my inventory spreadsheet - I realized it had multiple errors.
And I decided to reorganize the storage tubs by vendor

So while everything was out, I took a group photo!

18 years - 59 different manufacturers (well, 60 if you count me and my scratch builts)

If you've been collecting too many what does that say about me? I've got over 450 kits! :eek:

Les 12-04-2016 07:23 PM

actually, my count is 460...

While Styx, "Miss America" plays in the background. :cool:

And I thought I had a problem when I went over 100!

I feel much better about the three plastic tubs up in my garage shelves.

And here I am with a build pile of 2 and struggling with the decision of whether to order Estes bundle #3. :rolleyes:

How do you pick your next build when you have a collection like that?

It's a good start...

Glad to see there are other rocketeers infected with the sickness. :)

My patient better half has put up with my habit, even knowing the extent of it, for 35 years. I had a few tubs full when we met. It got bad enough that she made me put everything in a room. When I couldn't navigate through the boxes in the room any more to find that next one I wanted to build, I built pegboard spinner stands. I have to add another one every few years. :)

Here's a few pics. Last count was 1,744 kits. I don't know how many manufacturers. There's a few rare ones in there, I'm sure. But I still hope to build 'em all. But I better get moving!

GOOD GRIEF !
1744, Dean ????
I thought my couple hundred was bad, but I'm pretty selective of what I call my 'collection' vs 'builder' kits.
I have way more motors than kits....
