I love the option "I have too many but not enough." that fits it exactly.

I have too many. Way to many to paint in my remaining life and too many painted that have never been gamed with. But having said that I still buy & paint figures. Sad but true.

I will probably never paint and game with all of my rpg and skirmish figures especially as I keep adding to them. I have hope for my army projects though in the next year or two. I expect retirement will reverse the painted vs purchased ratio.

Last year I painted about 25 figures. I have 7000-8000 unpainted ones.

I no longer have any idea how many miniatures I have…I lost count years ago…..I would make a good subject for one of those 'declutter / organise' the house programmes…I paint maybe 50 a year or so but have an unhealthy obsession with getting more.

I have way too many. I have a bunch of figures I'm no longer interested in, a bunch more I'm sort of interested in but will never get around to, and a bunch more I am interested in but have to admit I'm never going to get to.

Fortunately, there's no pressure to thin the herd right away. I don't need the extra space or money right now, but at some point I'm going to have to clean house. I just don't want to deal with having to sell off or trade away that much stuff.

What an odd question

Truthfully, I probably have too many but due to "the pledge" have been motoring through a lot of unpainted figs over the past two years

Plus there is retirement ahead – although not right ahead

I have too many but not enough WWII 28mm Germans at this time.

Too many unpainted maybe!
