I have 2 methods Either a kit catches my fancy that moves it to the top of the pile Or I have a random number function that picks 5 kits. Then I only need to choose from 5 instead of 460. And if none of the 5 catch my fancy, I let it recalculate another 5. If the same kit shows up twice then it has to be built |

I don't know whether to be jealous, or relieved that you guys have such a large stash! I recently was able to bring mine *down* to just under 100, if my count is correct. And a measly 17 manufacturers.
Dean, I bet you could charge for tours! WOOSH field trip anyone?

I have around 1100-1200 unbuilt rocket kits.
I use an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of the kits. Back in 1998 my computer hard drive crashed and my list was six months out of date when I loaded the new computer. That's why I'm not sure of exactly how many kits I have. Sixty-three different manufacturers on my list.

A Little math....
X = the number of desired kits for a collection n = the number of kits currently owned therefore.... x = n +1

x is a function of t. In the limit as n approaches infinity, the number of kits can be described as follows: The desired number of kits, f(x(t)) = n(t) + 1 , where n(t) = n0 + k*t, where k is the hang tag number So, if you have any financial constraints whatsoever, it's best to pursue low kit numbers Doug .

I am not sure if I am allowed to post in this thread. I've only got 128 kits. But I do have parts for maybe another 30-40, if that helps. At 1744 kits, that's a lot of enjoyment for the years ahead. If you build one a week, and allow maybe 3 weeks for vacations or downtime, 49 builds a year can be done for about 35 years. Happy Retirement!
