My name is Andy and I have a problem

[Boothy]

Ok guys I think its time to admit it, I have issues.

My lunchbox black edition arrived on my birthday a week ago today and I have not yet managed to start building it but this week I found myself having rude thoughts about a holiday buggy, they just look like a hoot to drive and the modern chassis hidden under a retro shell really appeals.

Obviously those wheels are just plain wrong so we are going to need hop ups but still I figured the buggy was a bargain so yesterday I ordered one.

The thing is today I found myself looking at brats, I do really like that chassis and like the scale looks so I do really fancy one at some point (all these build threads are not helping) it's just some point should not be the day after ordering the HB should it?

Then there is the hot shot, oh the avante that's nice too and everyone should have a clod shouldn't they...

This could end in divorce

It seems I Have the Same affliction.

So many kits I want, yet so little time to be able to build them

[SteveU30]

Don't worry mate, I've gone from 1 to 20+ in less than a year! I've had to stop looking at eBay to try and curb my enthusiasm but this forum doesn't help in the slightest!

[ukfox]

What ever you do, Don't make an excel spread sheet out of all the kits you have owned and built.

Scary Stuff , never in my wildest dreams did I think I had that many

Only upside is that,

Whenever I feel the need to hit the "buy it now", I think of that spread sheet of kits I have owned.

[TongueTied]

I think I have it too. The only treatment I have is a lack of funds. It seems to stop the "Pay by PayPal" part of the affliction but doesn't do anything about the desire.

[Boothy]

Haha! I am feeling slightly better now knowing I am not on my own

[Tamiya Era]

This is just the beginning

as days go you will end up: buy more and mooooooooooore looool

[IBIFTKH]

Yeah, you're not the only one

Just finished building one, half way through building another, two projects on the go and finger hovering over the dreaded 'Buy it now' button!!!

cheers,

Rob

I think we are all suffering from the same. The dreaded Tamiya virus. I have to restrain myself constantly.

[IBIFTKH]

Plus hop-ups, spare parts, spare hop-ups...

...and of course the dreaded 'those might come in useful one day' parts!!

[Shodog]

Not to add fuel to the fire but once you build your lunchy, you're going to want a pumpkin next.

[Tamiya Era]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!!

This thread warmed me up for moooooooree purchase....ohh noooooooooo...pleaaaaaasee

[ukfox]

"those might come in useful one day"

So, that's why I bought those TXT2 wheels and tyres!

I did wonder why I got them

[sidewaysdave69]

if it does end in divorce, there are plenty more Tamiya out there to console yourself.

plus think about the amount of space that would be freed up if she moved out

[Skottoman]

Build threads are each members way of making other members buy more kits!

It's a never ending cycle… Hahaha..

Cheers,

Skottoman

[Boothy]

Haha that's true, every time I look at a build thread I get more ideas.

Currently I am thinking about a cross between a brat and a sand scorcher, that must be doable even for a numpty like me

[berman]

When you find a cure, please let the Tamiyaclub massive know...

I just ordered some bits for my newly acquired TA05R, Got most of my Axial Wraith built yesterday... and I am already thinking about where to get my next hit

Darn this addiction!

[JeepnMike]

Drive the heck out of the cars you have. You will be too busy fixing and buying parts to think about buying new kits. This has kinda worked for me a little. LOL. It keeps me down to around 1.5 or so new cars per year.
