I think I have a problem
http://www.tylisaari.com/models/mymskits.htm
At this rate, my Monster Scenes collection might catch up to my Prehistoric Scenes collection.
45 kits and climbing
That is including the 18 kits I just got this week from 3 different online stores.
Of course, those 18 kits only cost me $190 with shipping.
Which is my problem. I keep finding them on sale.
And I know if I don't grab some, I'm going to kick myself in 5 years when they are 5 or 6 times the price.

Re: I think I have a problem
Sounds like your problem might be finding a place to store all those kits,and finding the time to finish them.

Re: I think I have a problem
I think that is a problem we all share
Seriously though. That is one of the reasons I keep snagging up so many of them.
I have lots of plans. The problem is, finding the time and the inspiration to get some of them done.

Re: I think I have a problem
I share your pain! I've moved afew times and hauling all my stuff around was a nightmare! Finally I'm settled in to my new digs and with all the packing and unpacking there are kits I forgot I even had!!! Then there are ones I scratch my head and say..why did I buy that..I'm never going to get to build it...BUT you never know! I think it's great you have plans for what you've purchased.

Re: I think I have a problem
I layed down the law on myself and said, no more buying until I build one.
I am at a "builld one to buy one" decree on myself..........it hurts not to buy, so much WANT in me

It's not that I think stupidity should be punishable by death.
I just think we should take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem take care of itself.

You can always unload them later. I'm jealous.

Re: I think I have a problem
I think part of the problem is, that I passed on kits before that were dirt cheap, thinking I would get them later.
When later finally arrived, I had sticker shock.
Prime example is the Revell MoTM Dracula kits.
I remember when TRU was blowing them out at just under 2 bucks.
And they were everywhere on ebay for less than $10 shipped.
Now that I have some uses for them, I can't find one for under $25.
Which, I know still isn't bad, but compared to what they were, it seems like it.
Same with the AMT reissues of the Gigantic insect kits.
I got all 3 shipped for like $10.
Not once, but twice.
Look at the prices now. Can't even get one of them for that price.
And actually lucky to find one for twice the price I paid for 3.
So, when I see kits I want to build for under $10. It's really hard to not jump on them.
And for anyone who wants to share my pain.
Check out Squadron for the 3 Dencomm kits. (less than $8 each)
KitKong has a 70% off sale on what styrene kits he has left. ($7.50 each for the Victims and Doctors I ordered)
And Cult has all 3 of the prepainted MS display kits for $42 for the set.
How do you not pull the trigger on prices like that?

Re: I think I have a problem
I was the same way when Wal-Mart was blowing out all the Halcyon & MPC Alien kits. Can never have too many of those.

Monster Scenes and related kits now total 69.
And that isn't counting a couple lots of partial originals I got cheap on ebay either.
Sadly, only 4 are currently on my bench and in progress.

Re: I think I have a problem
I will say this I have border line... obsessive compulsive disorder..
I say, I want that just because it's cheap..
Ebay addict... I would but stuff left and right..
Over the last few years I say what I'm going to do with this?
Why do I need this.. I cut back buying because running out room..
And I go back and fourth on things..
If you truly believe you have problem there is help out there..
