Think of it this way. Your kids will only be young once. Before you know it, they'll be grown and on their own. Model cars will still be there when they're gone.
Take it from a guy who has been there and done that.
Related trivia: How many of you know that Buddy Ebsen (Jed Clampett) was the original Tin Man in "The Wizard of Oz?"
In fact, filming had already begun, and footage still exists of scenes with Ebsen as the Tin Man. But he had a severe allergic reaction to the aluminum powder used in his Tin Man makeup and had to be hospitalized, so the part went to Jack Haley instead. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Here in Chicago we have a building called the Sears Tower. Sort of a landmark... used to be the tallest building in the world at one point. Then Sears moved corporate to Hoffman Estates (a Chicago suburb right next to me)... and the building was officially renamed the "Willis Tower" for the new owner.
But nobody in the Chicago area calls it that. It will always be the "Sears Tower" to us locals.
I understand that Chrysler ceased to be "Chrysler" when Daimler took it over.
But the loss of the name "Chrysler" as far as the corporation goes.... maybe I'm goofy, but that's just sad.
So is the Chrysler building in NYC now the "FCA Building?"
