I'm looking at thinning out the stash, just like so many others. There's just way to many to build in this lifetime on my shelves.

And so I'm wondering about the older Tamiya kits.......... like the old older stuff (ie. kit #20 etc). What should I do with them? Can they be sold or are they pretty much worthless to everyone?? Do people collect these older kits?

I've seen at least some of the earlier ones in "Wanted" adds here in the classified section. I've also see lots on Ebay. ("lots" as in a group of models, being sold as a single group of models)

I have a few myself...there's always a need for them....basis for a kitbash...a good kit for a kid...toss them up for sale somewhere and see who wants them...BTW - the oldies go roughly for $7-$12 from what I've seen on ebay. Do a search on ebay and you'll get an idea...
