Need to tell her there is nothing wrong with die-cast cars and planes! I had at least 100 before I joined the military. Then with no room in the barracks for them they all went to my brothers. I still wish I had the cars back (they destroyed all of them through various means). Guess that is why I have so many planes for FSX. To make that up, but at least they don't take up much physical space. Just cost me tons of dollars in hard drive space..... I think that is a lot of what is wrong with people. All they do is sit in front of the TV all day, and don't have any hobbies like I remember when I was a kid. Ask a teenager today about building plastic models and they literally have no idea what you are talking about usually, and I'm not even that old. Is amazing how much things change in such a short time span.

Daveroo,gotta tell your folks "not a chance" on giving your collectable stuff to the kids,they'll just destroy them by burning em or blowin' em up with fireworks or some other form of multilation! Hell,I'm 60 and I still collect both cars and planes....and I got a playstation 3 too! You are not alone!:wavey:

Tell Mom that she needs to spend less time watching the "reality" shows about "hoarding", and get another hobby.

[cheezyflier]

just a guess, but i'd bet that there is something else bugging them, and they don't know/want to vocalize it specifically. it might not even be about you. not that it makes it any easier to deal with.
aaahhhhh the joys of family life, eh? :isadizzy:

hey, being a ductman, i can understand when you say you need to vent. allow me to hook you right up
