Oddly enough, I have been buying more Hot Wheels, and the like, than Model Cars. Simply because I really like Hot Wheels and the kit makers are rarely making anything I want or they are re making what I already have. With the exception of the lone re-issue that has been gone for some time, the rest is regular stuff that is easy to get.
And yes, having way too many models as it is does not help!
I do still think that U.S. model makers should look at the Japanese model of making current vehicles that are mostly curbside style. The bodies are nice when the innards can be quite dull. But, most of us have had it ingrained in our heads that kits should be full kits and anything less is not acceptable. This mindset needs to change.
I would rather have a well proportioned body in a curbside style kit than a half ass done one with full detail. But, that is just me.
