It's the same with model cars. I been building them since 1957. I am a builder not a collector. A Grant Rebel SST F/C sealed in the box goes for 300-500$ on eBay. I know an Aussie on the AMX Files who has over 300 sealed AMC/Rambler models and said that they are to valuable to build. Sorry I'm a builder and a collector of built models. Enjoy what ever you collect.
