You know it's really bad when qualify as a senior citizen and you start collecting toys....

Can I be cured?

The only cure is to get more.... LOL!

I don't see any 1:87 Herpa models on that picture. Why?

For a while I bought collections and resold them here or on eBay. But it was a lot of work with little profit, so I kept a few different ones for my own collection and moved on to higher value items...

I still have lots of the ones in the first picture... no wonder, as I bought all remaining stock when they stopped making them!

here's a few you could add to your collection... the police car has to be a rare one.

My wife was hoping you'd laugh at me and I'd take the hint and quit picking up 928 models but...au contraire!

I wish I'd never heard about Herpa....it just fuels the madness. Cool lookers.

I have a few antique pocket watches but, unlike some I'm steering clear of the the "GT on your wrist" watches. Randy, is there a Collectors Anonymous?

I collect way too much stuff...even rocks. But the South African rocks can really be pricey too. Is there something really economical to collect? Match book covers? With 928 pics on them?

I just looked at the one here in the office on my shelf - it's an NZG, 1/43 scale 928S, made in the Republic of Germany. It's steel ans plastic, in perfect shape, with operating hood, hatch and doors. It has the Euro lights on the side and rear foglight...bought it a year or so ago off ebay for around $10..
