It sounds to me that you may be in the hobby for the wrong reasons. To
me its about building the kits. Its about painting the kits. The
pleasure I get from them is not in the collecting but of the actual use
of them to produce fun and excitement when you are at that point where
you are tweaking the final look. when the Future coat is on and the
decals are the next step. I love putting on the decals! The final piece
is cool but once done they sit on the shelf. If you want to collect kits
and are worried about resale value I'm sure there are more lucrative
collectibles. Check out this
