I bought a re-re thru Tower. I convinced myself I wouldn't get one as it was on "backorder", therefore bought one from a hobby shop, and a few days later the Tower re-re showed up! I built one, but what to do with the 'extra" one. An active member on this forum corrupted me into this addictive, obsessive hobby and am thinking I should sell or simply give it to him for his influence on projects we are doing (some are secretive, but hope to post pics soon). Any suggestions?

I was in the same spot, ended up building one (then rebuilding it lol) and keeping the other sealed. I'm a big fan of sealed kits, and it will get built one day but I hope to be old and retired when that happens.

I cannot leave anything in a box for long. I bought 2 kits and they were both built hours after I got home (2 different days, LOL). I like seeing beautiful collections, NIB and fresh built displays. But I personally cannot wait to hit the track and get them worn in.

I bought two of the rere's also. One will definitely get built. The other just may sit in the box. I've got a few other vehicles new in the box and actually enjoy poping the tops off to look at the contents.

build every one you get

it's Xmas soon, gift giving is good

lol ya this site killed my bank account. since i have been a member i went from one rc10 to 16 (includes 2 re re one still new in box) ugh! not to mention the 19 ds's i have but that was prior to being on the site lol.

keep the one nib for a rainy day.

i originally ordered 3 rere's from tower, one to build and run, one to keep nib, and the third was a wildcard...

I'm with you gomachv, I'm building one now. The other one I have is sealed up in the box it shipped in and then I placed it high on a shelf in my shop. My plan is to save it for 10 to 20 years from now and build it then...we'll see!

1 Built, 1 Sealed in a Sealed Outer Box.

Then I have 3rd sealed box, in the back of my car. Dunno why I keep leaving it there. Maybe in case I get stranded somewhere and need to build something.

So far I have 1 built and 4 sealed on a shelf.
