I've done the same as you. Half of my basement is filled with my rocket collection, but now the other half is filled with my Coleman Lantern and Stove collection! No more basement.


I cannot say how many thousand kits I’ve bought, sold over and over since then. This year so far, I’ve obtained some of the hardest to find kits yet. Plus, Lots of them.
I’m happy now if i never find another. But yesterday I obtained a Sealed 60s Centuri Honest John with old colored Hangtag ! They just Jeep finding me. Write, as I said. Dan

He has the 3 most important video games; Stargate, Tempest, and Galaga.
I have a Centipede, rare Galaxian Cabaret, and Williams F-14 Tomcat pinball.
Currently having a Multi-Williams machine made in a Stargate cabinet. Have been waiting a while, but should be done soon.
Pinball prices have went insane. Even beat-up overused poorly maintained Williams titles from the 80's go for 2500+ now.

Now that is an interesting and somewhat unusual type of collection! Got a Boy Scout cooking kit to use on the stoves? I've got one from the 70's with the red nylon pouch. Pic courtesy of eBay because my kit is buried in the attic.

Those are some nice machines as well. I didn't list any of the pinball machines.
I also have an F-14. I also have a Stars, Evel Knievel, Space Mission, and a Pioneer. None in running condition at the moment. F-14 and Stars are partially stripped for cleaning, Evel Knievel suffered battery acid damage, and the EM's need cleaning..

If anyone's interested, I have one of the big Centuri Little Joe II kits on ebay right now. It's not 100% complete (see the listing) but none of the missing parts would be difficult to reproduce. The wrap is quite nice.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/114308176893

I'm sure I'm going to take a bath on this - I don't recall what I originally paid for it, but I'm sure it was far more than this will fetch. But it's just been sitting in a storage locker so maybe this will go to a good home (I have a built one on display in my home office).
