    Ok, seems I’ve been on an acquisition mission lately. I just sent in my order for TNA, my first NIB. This brings my collection to forty. I think it’s about time to stop! At what point have you decided enough is enough?

    Quoted from bigd1979:

    Wish i had room for 40...

    I don’t have room either, but will! Drawing up plans for standalone mancave to house my trains, jukeboxes, pins and shop.

    Quoted from Swainer80:

    I have 23 downstairs, 3 upstairs, 1 in the garage, 1 at my bro's GF's house and 2 at a friend's house. Honestly 23 is a good number for me but eh, why not have fun with the sickness!

    There are worse things you can do with yours time and resources!

    Quoted from Theo_Ioannis:

    Toucanf16, Where's your collection? In Hong Kong? You must be a billionaire!!
    [quoted image]

    I wish! I actually live in a van down by the river! (always wanted to say that!)
    Seriously, I actually live in a 700 ft.² (65 m²) highrise Hong Kong flat with absolute no room for pinball. I can barely walk around the foot of my bed without hitting the wall! Kitchen is barely big enough for one person. My collection is back in the USA.

    Quoted from Spyderturbo007:

    I ended up having to buy a new house for my machines. Well, the last house was actually too small for the wife and I, but I made damn sure we got something with a big ass basement for a lot of machines. It's a Cape Cod which apparently means story and a half. The 1st floor is a little over 2,200sq ft which, as you might have guessed, makes the basement a little over 2,200 sq ft.
    Now I just have to get the damn thing done. I'm going on the 3 year mark, but I'm close.....really close. I just need to finish the flooring and buy some granite for the bar. I'd be done by now if I'd just stop buying more machines.
