Yeah, but one persons posts gave a whole load of idiots a reason to post a load of rubbish about other collectors crying about it, while nothing could be further from the truth. They are the same idiots who send hate mail to complaining about big collectors having lots of kits which is why there are a lot of people who won't put their collections on the site.
I don't get much grief because the ones I do put on are the 'before restoration' shots - and of course I can ban them
The idiots don't understand most of us (except Acorn!) are happy it's cheaper to expand our collection now and of course virtually nothing on the rerelease can be passed off as original
