One prize is the collector's feeling of participation and, in some cases, of accomplishment------- however, I wouldn't ignore the possibility that an online seller might offer free models as prizes( or special discounts) to the winners. If, by some miracle, such an event was initiated by this forum, I can see it being emulated by the UK and other forums. The best new product release ratings---if they become a regular feature and get wider publicity---might really get the manufacturers' attention. This, in turn, might get them to start listening to us.
