Not counting my brother's Marui Galaxy that I rebuilt and don't consider mine, I was only planning on restoring my Zebra Optima. I had enough parts to make at least another car with triples of many parts, and originally posted a For Sale ad here for those parts. I didn't get any response to that, so I decided to build a second Turbo Optima. But, I didn't want to just build any old Optima, because I already had one. So, the project evolved to build a one-of-a-kind, never-seen-before touring car that would use every blue hop-up part I could track down. Now, I still have a ton of parts, and planning to build a third and final Turbo Optima, but this one dedicated for off-road use...again with all the hop-up parts I can find. I'm only in the parts gathering stage but I think it'll be impressive.
So, only 3 cars for me, all Turbo Optimas. I don't know if my mind will change in the future, but I really have no burning desire to add to that "collection", if you'd call it that. I think I just lack the hoarding gene!

Cripes, It amazes me how massive some of your collections are. I suppose if I had the room and money mine would be as well. I'm limited to a very small space so I can't have that many at one time. Right now I have 8 built models.

I have no idea of the exact number but it's well over 200. I have a lot of mini rc that doesn't take up too much space

err no idea in all honesty, i lost a 1/5 gas onroad in the store once, nice surprise when I found it, only one rc10 buggy the CC raffle car, and one new built NDS, I reckon to have sold approximately 200 in the last year trying to trim the collection, at least as many more to go, conservativley. still 4 1/5 in there I know about.

So you could say I am just getting started then. I was including cars that I have that need assembly.
On the ride home from dinner tonight, I was thinking and realized that I can almost build a 4th RC-10.
