Hello Christian,
I collect only BBR models because:
-high-quality,
-handcrafting in Italy,
-forms of bodies are really realistic unlike other brands for my taste (AMR, etc ...)
-the last bases are well and snaps into the model before

Are you sure about it? It's a BIG news for me :D
However i collect different brands ( BBR, MR, MG, Make Up Eidolon, Remember, Tameo.....) and i think that BBR has something more in terms of quality and durability, all models keep their value for a long time and don't have any kind of problems even after 20 or more years, that's why in my opinion the most beautiful BBR models are in the "dark green" box....the oldest are incredible.
And you can not say the same thing for all the other brands.... |

Why do people collect a certain brand? Because it limits the numbers you buy, because it looks nice, or because some brands are more collectable than others. Or because the name stands for quality.
Every maker has models that are not that good.
The early bbr 1984 TR was terrible.. Brianza has quite few misses, the MR california isn't that good either (windscreenpillars are terrible). (just a few examples of a long list of models)
I have a lot of different brands in my collection.
Hilario, Hostaro, heco, nestor, amr, ACB, le Phoenix, Mr, Looksmart, Fyp Ilario, Brianza, Tron, Star, MG, minidelta piranha, MTL, and several others.
I have several kits built by topbuilders that are better than factorybuilts
I have only a few modern Ferrari's.
Its very interesting to see how a certain modeler interprates a car.
I am a big of the older handshaped models, its easy to make a modell nowadays, but creating something special by hand deserves a lot more respect.
For me its not about a whole cabinet of bbr or amr's its all about quality. Its easy buying a cabinet full of models! Its not easy finding the right ones I like! Collecting is a challenge, after 28 years there are still whannahaves..
Lately BBR has gone back to do what its good at, creating superb classic Ferrari's, that why I buy them, not because they are bbr's.
You have a great collection Christian!
(been busy since 1987)
Paolo, you are absolutely right!!

i collect everything and most.. i don't really mind if it is made in china or italy.. So as long it fits into the theme and collection thats all that matters.. subject is important.. china made models are just as good as italian as are italian far superior than chinese.. it is no matter.. Makeup are made in china/japan.. tameo FB are made in china..
neo and matrix model and spark although are not true handbuilts have great subjects.. Neo Maserati Zagato.. Matrix Jaguar xk120 Ghia.. Spark New Lancia Stratos.. Morgan Aeromax.. you can't beat it..
at the end of the day.. collect what you want..
i also have been collecting for my than 20 years.. my cabinets are full of majority of BBR/MR/Looksmart/Gasoline.. always one of each model and the best.. example would be 500SF Peter Sellers, 250 Drogo etc.. just one colour.. not multiple colours..
i started to buy AMR kits, Hilario, Hostaro, ABC.. as again the subject matter that the others don't do..
it is what makes it interesting and challenge.. be boring just sticking to the same brands..
