Extra re-re
I bought a re-re thru Tower. I convinced myself I wouldn't get one as it was on "backorder", therefore bought one from a hobby shop, and a few days later the Tower re-re showed up! I built one, but what to do with the 'extra" one. An active member on this forum corrupted me into this addictive, obsessive hobby and am thinking I should sell or simply give it to him for his influence on projects we are doing (some are secretive, but hope to post pics soon). Any suggestions?
I'd take a knife for some really good nachos.

Re: Extra re-re
I was in the same spot, ended up building one (then rebuilding it lol) and keeping the other sealed. I'm a big fan of sealed kits, and it will get built one day but I hope to be old and retired when that happens.

Re: Extra re-re
I cannot leave anything in a box for long. I bought 2 kits and they were both built hours after I got home (2 different days, LOL). I like seeing beautiful collections, NIB and fresh built displays. But I personally cannot wait to hit the track and get them worn in.

Re: Extra re-re
I bought two of the rere's also. One will definitely get built. The other just may sit in the box. I've got a few other vehicles new in the box and actually enjoy poping the tops off to look at the contents.

Re: Extra re-re
I'm with you gomachv, I'm building one now. The other one I have is sealed up in the box it shipped in and then I placed it high on a shelf in my shop. My plan is to save it for 10 to 20 years from now and build it then...we'll see!

Re: Extra re-re
1 Built, 1 Sealed in a Sealed Outer Box.
Then I have 3rd sealed box, in the back of my car. Dunno why I keep leaving it there. Maybe in case I get stranded somewhere and need to build something.

I miss brushed motors in that hazy, everything seemed better when I was a kid, kind of way.
