>>23781410men have always enjoyed modeling. look up Northlands. people travel from Europe to visit this warehouse in NJ where they have built one of the largest model sets in the world. and like you said, its not just paying for plastic. you’re buying a few hours of ZEN.
like yours, all the kits i had as a kid were eventually broken down into their parts, collected into a couple of large totes, and are waiting on a shelf for the next generation to get old enough to play with them…and not swallow them.
