How many models have you got?

I only have a mere 64 models and have been collecting since last February. In my last thread I saw that @YesterAirlines has 2557 models. I have 29 NG, 10 JC, 8 GJ, 6 AV400, 8 Phoenix, 1 Panda, 1 Herpa and finally 1 Aero Classics. Just out of curiosity how many models have you all got and how long have you been collecting?
300
 
With my latest addition, the Aeroclassics Delta 737-232A colors in motion scheme, my collection currently stands at 423 models.
I do have 3 more NG Models on the way now, and one more Phoenix Model on pre-order, so that will bring it up to 427 when they all get here.
 
290 even as of now on property in various scales, the vast majority being 1:400. I have orders floating around with three retailers that will push it over the 300 mark. I got a bit carried away for my standard during 2019 and again in 2022. Planning on pulling back during 2023, or not 😋
 
Currently 38 models. Not much, I know, but sadly models are quite expensive when living in Brazil.
38 is a fair amount. I know exactly what you mean, as a kid models in Venezuela were unreasonably expensive. There were probably less than five stores in the entire country that carried Herpa 1:500. I believe 1:400 and 1:200 never made it into the country. For a while you could find snap-fit kits. Today with the crazy inflation a lot of collectors back home are effectively locked out of the market since for them the price of a single model equals a full year's wage. I know Brazil is not nearly as bad, but I understand.
 
I have about 30 models in 1:400 and around 20 of them are BB400/AC 747
(If you want i can share some photos) i would have had more if shipping yo Israel and buying from Israel wasn't soo damn expensive

yeah, sadly it's quite expensive indeed, our Brazilian Real currency is very devaluated when compared to US Dollars. I guess 3 models is the maximum I can get per month... of course, I could buy more but I have other things to spend :cry:

At least I can assure that the collection is growing! I'm always buying new models! Always a joy to get a new package from the mail!

Collectible prices in general have gone up ridiculously. I used to collect 1/6th scale Iron Man figures, and those have almost tripled in price over the last 8 years. In a way having a narrow collecting criteria, and recent releases largely being outside of said criteria, is a benefit...

Same here, I purchased WAY too many models last year (48). I have to cut back to 1 a month this year whether I like it or not.

Yeah same here lost year i had purchased about 1.6 model a month all of them being BB400/AC 747 might have to sell some of them but hopefully not
 
Damn dude you must have every AC, GJ, JC ever made
No, that would be a collection in the 1000s. Some people have that tough!

I went over a 1000s long time ago but rolled back. I still have about 150 to part with but I'm a bit lazy to sell them.
