Power Series. What a mess! No, no, not the model; just Diecastium
in general. There are so many releases each month that unless you've
got bottomless pockets (and unlimited room), you don't know whether
to run screaming or to just scream. To choose carefully, to show discernment,
to be studied and reasonable, to buy within means--what a pain. Yes,
the pain of diecast addiction--and there is no bigger pusher of new
releases than Hobby Master, with a monthly list of new offerings as
long as your arm. At least Corgi, the teaser, keeps its monthly model
releases within reasonable limits (as well as making sure new models
are always one or two months, or years, late). To make matters worse,
excellent little companies keep popping up (think Phoenix 72), and
great middle-of-the-line companies like SkyMax add new models each
month. And soon, all too soon, Aviation 72 will be adding its little
lovelies to the mix.
But, and in the meantime, I renewed my Corgi collectors membership
yesterday (don't ya just love that little card?), which means Corgi's
October/March catalog should land in the mail soon. And a new catalog
from a diecast vendor just arrived. Oh, and this is a beautiful Fw
190A, a worthy tribute to the real bird.
Yes, what a lovely mess! |
