Of course but I'm not ready to die just yet.

Uesugi Kenshin Supporting Member of TMP11 May 2012 12:05 a.m. PST

Too many unpainted but trying to fix that!

CPT Jake11 May 2012 1:58 a.m. PST

Yep. Way too many, but I've been actively trying to unload what I know I'm not getting to use.

15mm Medieval Cogs are next up on the marketplace as soon as I get some pictures taken!

6. I don't understand the question.

Martin Rapier11 May 2012 2:12 a.m. PST

I have so many figures that I think long and hard before buying any more. I am not yet at the stage of 'one in one out' though, so clearly I do not yet have enough figures.

SJDonovan11 May 2012 2:27 a.m. PST

7. I've got too many. But nowhere near enough.

Yesthatphil11 May 2012 2:44 a.m. PST

Chocolate Fezian11 May 2012 3:11 a.m. PST

Yes I have too many.
Every 10 years or so I get rid of most of my stuff and start agian, I've started the sell off.

skinkmasterreturns11 May 2012 3:18 a.m. PST

I am starting to have the problem of too many painted figures-I'm running out of places to put them!You cant just store them in bags,afterall.

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP11 May 2012 3:29 a.m. PST

John the Greater11 May 2012 5:43 a.m. PST

My goal is to own @100,000 minis so I am on track and currently have just the right amount…

Oddball11 May 2012 8:14 a.m. PST

1. Too Much Is Never Enough!

I've got a good number of figures (in the thousands easy), but still have some lines I want to fill out.

AWI – Got to have Hessians and French (Perry's stuff is just too cool not to put on a game table).

1812 – Just finished up my American troops last night. Now have to get the British done.

1980's – Germans, infantry and vehicles, also Afghans.

Let's not even start on the new Star Trek ships by Mongoose.

So, I don't believe I have enough yet, but I'm working on it.

This rabbit is beyond help so the real score number is… infinity.

Depends on reason for question-

Do I have too many? Over-all, yes. If they all paid the rent I would not have to work.

For a projuct? No. Doing ACW here in the Indian Nations in 15s, don't have many.
For a war/era? No. Have a few WW@ 25/28's. Debating them. Need WW1s, not sure what size.

Enough ACW Infantry/Arty for now in 20-22mm. Need some cav.

All together, my cup runneth over.

8. Oooooohh Shiny…..

Texas Jack11 May 2012 10:23 a.m. PST

If my wife answered for me, she would most certainly choose 4, while answering for myself, it is most certainly 1.

Crow Bait11 May 2012 10:39 a.m. PST

I have too many of the wrong figures, and not enough of the right figures. Same thing applies to scales.

Charles Marlow11 May 2012 10:54 a.m. PST

1. & 4.

corporalpat11 May 2012 11:41 a.m. PST

Black Cat Bases11 May 2012 12:29 p.m. PST

Scorpio11 May 2012 1:01 p.m. PST

I have 99 problems but too many figs ain't one.

Cardinal Ximenez11 May 2012 2:13 p.m. PST

5. Don't understand the question.

Don196211 May 2012 4:24 p.m. PST

4. Yes, my wife tells me I have a problem so it must be true.

richarDISNEY11 May 2012 5:31 p.m. PST

Bashytubits11 May 2012 9:16 p.m. PST

3 – Just started painting figures from 1980's.

Gonsalvo12 May 2012 3:32 a.m. PST

1 and 4

Well, I'm well over 10,000 figures painted, so of course I have "too many" by any reasonable standard, but I still need more! I just need a bigger basement…

Personal logo Saginaw Supporting Member of TMP12 May 2012 2:29 p.m. PST

For now.
