When Does It End?.... [PIC]

For decades I wanted a 1/18 model of the Ferrari 250 GTO and all there was out there but a Bburago. I bought the kit version in order to cut and buff, do a bit of painting and mainly for the Cartograf decal set that came with it. It, of course is fairly basic and lacks side glass, but it looked fairly decent for the $25 investment..... and actually replicates Dunlop tires! Finally, Kyosho's deal with Hot Wheels which had the Ferrari license released the #18 1962 Le Mans car in a later body configuration. So, for a couple of hundred bucks, I was happy. Of course, CMC released their #19 for almost 3X the Kyosho and I considered it with "do I need a more refined model of the same car?". What actually ended my quandary was Amalgam's #19 which trumped them all if you're willing to spring for $1330. Or best yet, wait for Amalgam's 1/8 #19 at their standard $24K price tag. Finally realizing "Enough is enough!", I decided I'll love my Kyosho... forever.

@perrone1 - Yeah, that helps a little. We buy two or three tickets per year when the amount is insane. Other than that, we don't bother.

Yeah; I'm with you Marty - when it gets crazy high, we get a few. Cool
