In my case, I don't have that luxury all the time.
I have zero money. All the kits I get new are bought by other people for me.
Usually, we're in Hobby Lobby or something and they say, "You can get one model kit."
I can't say, "Let me look up all of them, read reviews, make a decision, yeah?"
No. I have to make the decision then and there to buy something, otherwise I get nothing. That's why I trust the box art so much.
