Topic: Poll: What is the most important factor in collecting miniature fire replicas?

Well for me I guess its number one. Well that is how it started anyhow. My problem now is that courtesy of the "old" Code 3 site I've made a couple of very good friends who reside in the USA and how have been kind enough to take me into their homes and show me the real rigs. Yikes only last Saturday I was delighting in meeting the real FDNY Squad 61 having bought the DP version during my last trip to New York during a very cold January 2006.
To date I can claim to have seen 31 of the Code 3 models that I own in real life. It can be an expensive hobby this one !!!!!!
Mr D, if you read this maybe you'd like to contact me in person, there are a couple of matters that I'd be delighted to discuss in person with you. The choice is yours. Andy

i would say it is a mix between 1 and 3 for me although my wife would probably vote for number 4
