So, that gives you the right to speak for the entire hobby as a whole?, and I don't just don't mean here in the US, but world wide, since we are talking about 3D printing and not company's, the people, and from what I see is from other country's that are in to the hobby, its not even close to what you are trying to say, for starters, I see a lot more building , I don't see them as collectors, now I am not speaking for the that part, just what I see, and I could be wrong, but I able to say that I could be wrong.
3D printing is not going to just the change the hobby for the US, its going to change for the hobby world wide, but I forgot, everybody that builds , err, collect is the same as us in the USA
