Super collection of figures and buildings. How many do you think you have of each?

Thanks Mark. Never counted them, way too many. I have done the dollar valve in my head sometimes, not the selling amount, but the purchase amount. Yikes very confronting, but apparently you can not take it with you, so what the heck. Financially these days I have to be very fussy in what I buy, not to mention limited space. All boxes are disposed of, simply no room. My brief these days, if I cannot display it, than I do not want it. Robin.
 
I have been keeping an informal account of his collection since this thread opened...
I have counted 8,483 figures...
and 832 buildings...
I bet that's close...:tongue:
awesome collection Robin!

these are words I live by now days...

I have run out of room...
and that has helped my budget in avoiding some stuff I wanted...
financial and space permitting areas have become the issues...
so if I can't find a corner to display it...
I'm not getting it...

I don't want to collect boxes in my closet filled with metal trinkets that I don't get to visually enjoy...
like you said...

"if I cannot display it, then I do not want it."

with all my tough talk aside...
I have let my collection spill upstairs to 2 bedrooms...:rolleyes2:
the infestation has spread...
 
The 2.10 from Dry Gulch is besieged. Robin.

{ps A big thank you to Desertkiwi for helping me to get the stagecoach figures from Spain.)

Thanks Steve, correct Emilo’s. Australia was not handling post for Spain, but New Zealand was, so it had to go via NZ to get to me, 5 month exercise. The stagecoach is plastic and purchased locally and painted by a friend, just the 2 figures on top are from Spain.

Looks the business all the same. Nice one !:salute::

Echoing Rob's comment, the stagecoach and gulch are just outstanding. And that background really makes the scene come to life. :salute:::salute:: Chris

Another one of your "John Ford moments" there Robin :salute::

Keep 'em comin' and stay safe

Double take:

Robin,
Your scene makes me want to break out my old plastic Cowboys & Indians.

Robin,
Did you repaint the coach? The one I see on Emilio's site is red. I think both color schemes look great.
