Well, I guess my 1/6 military figure collection would be far more bigger, my wife less happy because 1/6 takes more space, would be wondering why nobody make 1/18 military and probably most of all, never had the chance to meet you all

I would be a millionaire playboy living in the south of france with AMERICAN_GRENADIER Avatar girlfriend....

Seriously, like the rest of you I would have found another area or hobby to focus on. But the brother/sister hood of this board woudd have been lost. Most of us on the board probably have someone close to us (spouse, mom or dad) that don't understand our passion towards XD.
So, it's nice to come together with like minded people and talk about 1/18 scale XD.
Thanks!

I would have put more money into my patch collection

I would most likely have a collection of corgi and armor/fm die-cast aircraft, which I had been avoiding collecting for years because of the expense, then I came across XD and the level of detail for the size and price was the gaffer... big and scale.. and cheap is hard to do

10. have more space in my house.
9. have more respect from my wife.
8. saved some money.
7. have more space in my garage.
6. never been president of Area-21.
5. saved many spare hours spent modeling.
4. have more space in my closets.
3. would not know how many steps it takes to go from the car to the toy isle at WM & TRU.
2. have more space in my bathroom
AND FINALLY:
1. not have as many geek friends who share the same XD addiction!

sorry for the DP

TKO, let's review:

10 - to fill with what - the wife's knickknacks?
9 - it's ok, beer won't judge you
8 - can't take it with you when you die, no pockets in the coffin
7 - garages are meant to be full of stuff
6 - because you were, we have an idea of what unrealized products JSI might revive
5 - time well spent
4 - does a guy really need that?
3 - good exercise
2 - as long as it's functional and clean..
1 - see, you're better off since XD came along

Same thing I had been doing before XD - kitbashing and customizing GI Joe and Star Wars into WWII figures.

I wouldn't be collecting 1:18... I was only influenced to start 1:18 because of Unimax's interest in testing the 1:18 waters back in 2007, previous to that I had been collecting 1:72 and 1:32. Other than that, I did probably be investing on every One Piece P.O.P ever made.....

I was super into 1/18 cars, but the 1/18 tanks and such I found soo much more interesting. So yeah, I'd have a lot more diecast cars

I could say the 1/16 RC tanks, but I probably wouldn't have noticed those if it weren't for the 1/18 tanks

I would probably have stayed with GI Joe and never would have known the graetness of 1/18th.
