In complement to my post # 25012 below, do you think that your percentage will go up in 2019, decreased or staying substantially the same?
In my concern, i am pretty sure that my percentage will go up
in 2019.

Down. I retire in 2019, so...
...to use a certain collector's excuse, a pensioner on a fixed income has to cut back on such luxuries. 🙂
I do like the looks of that '42 DeSoto though....

I hope mine will go up as well, I still have a good amount of older releases to add,
And the ones announced will probably be must haves for me too. But I am increasing my purchases of white metal models in general because I find them to be more of a thrill.
Ahh, the thrill of a new model...

It depends on how many woodies they make. I wish they would model the 1942 Buick woodie in Bulgari's collection.

The name is Bulgari.

Which are the older releases that you would like to add?
For my part, i past always on the Airmstreams. I think this is a lack in my collection but i find always a model more inviting to buy. I prefer white metal models too even if i must to buy less models. I'm just more selective.

Same. We have no more room, so it's one Brooklin a year these last several years.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I bought just four Brooklin in the last 2 years but i expect to bought a bit more in 2019. I will sale a few 1:18 to make room.

Down for me. The cost increase means more selectiveness unfortunately.

Same thing for me, Jack. I must be very selective.
Thank you for your reply.

A year ago I lost half my pension so my spending had dropped significantly
