Re: Forum News & Discussion

I'm contemplating making sub-forums for Tamiya and Kyosho's re-releases as well but not sure if it's worth it though. As seen in the above quote from last November, I created re-release sub-forums for a few manufactures but was contimplating doing Tamiya. Well I just made one for them now. I've bee...

I can relate! It's one of the reasons why I enjoy sleeping into the afternoon. The less I'm awake during the day, the less I have to put up with. Hey, it works. :lol:

Re: Any tips on reducing a collection

I really need to reduce what I have as well. I came to the realization several years ago that I'm never going to finish the majority of projects I have. It's due to many factors such as a lack of time, money, desire, ambition, and health all play a part. It also affects everything else in my life, n...

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread

Re: Barn Find!

The guy traded you both Clods for your TRX4 or just the JPS one?
