Nice Gpk. Just like the 40 year old virgin says you've got to keep the collectables integraty by keeping them in the original packaging. Your sitting on gold!!!

I can tell you the hardest thing about collecting models is finding room for all the boxes they come with.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAH,you made me laugh!!! love that movie! all the really good stuff is untouched/unopened and away from natural light.but I doubt burago are going to be collectable in the future.what do you think?
I know its not a vw but I do have a original tamiya senna mclaren mp4 f1 model 1/20 scale,still untouched.think thats worth anything?

I'm not sure the Burago model will be worth enough to set up your own stereo shop but the Senna model might give it a nudge. I've got a limited ediion Senna in a go-cart lurking up the backof the cabinet. Not sure if you can see it or not.

maye I should sell my aquaman collection???hehe??
I did notice a while ago ,there is a guy on ebay usa that opens old hotwheels(very carefully) airbrushes some mad designs and seals them again.gets over $40usd for them.
collecting cars is a part time hobby.my collecting heart is with 1900's jewellery and tobbacciana.you are so right that you need alot of room for the car collecting hobby,which I dont have!

Fujimi have just released a 1/24 Golf Mk 1,that my son Seb found in one of his plastic kit modelling mags. He has also made the 1/35 Kubelwagen with Rommel. Their early version of the ww2 Beetle looks interesting. I have the 1/12 scale Porsche RS 935 and a metal 1/24 I think, 911/964. We will try to post some photos although time and dust has caught up with the 935. It is now out of production and when i checked Ebay last year some were selling up to $500, and I paid $120 for it back in the mid 90s.

You start off just collecting one of each particular model then before you know it your buying 3 of the same thing but in differrent colors. Just did that again recently when i bought 3 997 GT3 RS's in both the oranges and that awful green. I think i've got an addicion of some kind. Does anyone know what it is called?
