1) What model(s) did you wish you would have picked up when they were released, but never got around to picking up; and now they are nowhere to be found?

"Sugar" Lancaster
Grumpy Spitfire
Annette F-4
Doodlebug He111

2) Anyone have that situation...then after obsessing over the model, paid WAY over list to eventually acquire it? If so, what model(s) and how high did you go?

Woodbridge F-4, paid full list right out of the shoot
Swordfish, 810 SQ, paid full list right out of the shoot
EE Lightning, 111 SQ, $55 plus shipping

Or this situation...
3) Never got around to picking up that model - model then became scare - you thought you would NEVER find it - only to later pick it up for a screaming deal? If so, what model(s)?

GMP P-51's Duchess, Cripes A'Mighty, Petie 3rd - Got each for less that $70 per copy!
GMP P-40 - Picked up for $68!
B-17 BOL - TM score at $39.99
B-17 Memphis Belle - TM score at $39.99
B-25 Bats - found at list way after they were sold out almost everywhere
F-86's - Picked up 4 different liveries at TM for $10-$15 each

In the end, I seem to win some and lose some and come out about even in the end....

You're thinking of Miss Idaho.

Thanks Skunky! You're right, I haven't cluttered up just yet, though that's partially due to having like 90% of my collection in boxes still from a recent move. I suppose I should be ashamed of myself for not displaying it immediately post-move.
