    Apparently I fit in the last category... I have over 50 (Most of all four sets, three balloon sets, and the new deluxe set), and that's not even counting the ones I just received from Skytrex in little baggies. Something tells me I like this game...

    The only ones I'm missing from Nexus are Rahn's Dr.1, Voss' DIII, and Ellwood's Camel. If anybody has a line on any of the three, I'd appreciate it!

    At last count 21 not including 1 balloon. Enjoy the game, although I haven't had time to bloody all their noses yet, not enough time and business is taking most of my waking time. Not ready for a Charlie Sheen breakdown just yet!
    By the way, Scott, kudos on your comparison of planes! That is a great insight !

    Well, Sir,

    Nexus:
    3x Albatros D.Va (Udet, Baumer, "unknown pilot" Jasta 5)
    3x Pfalz D.III (Hohn, Klein-with correct markings, "unknown" Jasta 10 aircraft)

    1x Rumpler C.IV (MFFA 2)
    4x SPAD XIII (Fonck, Rickenbacker, Luke, unknown)
    4x Sopwith Camel (Barker, Olieslagers, 2x unknown- one of which I am going to convert to a RNAS 2F1)
    2x R.A.F. SE5a (Bishop, Dallas)
    1x Nieuport Nie.16 (Johnson/Prince)
    1x Nieuport Nie.17 (Nungesser)
    1x Nieuport Nie.23 (Kibanov- though I will probably repaint as a French N.24)
    1x R.E.8 (Belgian- still need to scratch build the proper cowling)
    1x Breguet Br.14 B2 (Browning & Duke)
    1x De Havilland D.H.4 (Atkey)
    1x Caquot/Drachen Observation Balloon


    Reviresco
    1x Fokker D.VII (Heinz von Beaulieu-Marconnay)
    1x Fokker D.VIII (Jasta 6)
    1x Siemens-Schuckert D.III (personal markings-"Flying Purple People Eater")
    1x Halberstadt CL.II (Schlast 26b)
    1x Hannover CL.IIIa (unknown Bavarian Schlasta)
    1x Junkers J.I (unknown Schlasta)

    Once my new Outrider bag with WoW Hangers (containing 2 more a/c I bought from the Colonel) arrive, I'll be up to 18 entente and 27 central powers planes. Or, more that the three or four I need to play, says the misses. No balloons yet though. Hummm.

    G'day There! I "lust" after Rahn's Dr1 but I picked up Ellwoods Camel & Voss's D111 from Nobel Knight Games in the US. The Voss one only came back into Stock about 2 weeks ago. I had it on a Wish List & they Emailed me when it came in!

    G'day Paul! Mate you just have to get a Balloon. They are really great in the game & the Nieuports with the rockets are beautiful if rather fragile on damage points.

    The Elwood Camel is still readily available from UK sellers - I was even able to get some from the distributor last time I restocked.

    I just had to by a new fix minis a couple of days ago, even though I haven't really tried the last batch properly yet - And I have a bunch of them waiting to be repainted.

    All in all - 42 + ballon, mats, boxes, boosters...Is there a WoW-anonymous?

    As a 100+ owner I think it's time I offloaded a few surplus kites. Trouble is, nobody will want these ugly plain white DVIIs or these garish all red Triplanes...

    Indeed, so you should give me a fiver each to take them from you.

    In all seriousness, if you want to part with a D.VII or Dr.1 I would like to grab one of each.

    Danrit, have you considered donating to charity? I run a not-for-profit game group and will send you a receipt for tax purposes.

    Sorry Daryl, I put all my excess DVIIs up for trade in the for sale section last month. My Dr1s are all repainted and form a Jasta I don't want to break up.

    Nice try the rest of you, do you know there are such things as morals and that you shouldn't take advantage of the mentally infirm? I'm hanging on to my collection now, so there.

    Now up to 74 out of 84.
    (12) Series 1 complete
    (4) RDS acquired
    (9/12) Series 2 missing all D.VII's
    (11/12) Series 3 missing 1 D.III
    (12) Series 4 complete
    (4) Balloon Busters complete
    (12) WW2 Series 1 complete
    (0/4) WWII Deluxe missing
    (10/12) WW2 Series 2 missing IV/StG 3 and Zucconi/Sugaroni Stukas

    So I need to have my vote moved from "Just Getting Started" to "May Have A Problem"--scratch that, I DO have a problem in that there are some pieces I can't get! *rolls eyes*

    Okay so i discovered this game around a month ago and already I'm in the "41+ (WOW Anonymous for you)" category.

    60 planes (all of WWII and the rest WWI) plus a balloon.

    Serious looking at Skytrex for filling in some of the gaps and to build up some nice Jasta's

    Hello Dave. Welcome to WoW anonymous. My name is Terry and I have over 90. What's wrong with me? I cruise all night long on the 'net trying to score a Barker Camel, Udet DVa,
    Goering DVII, The Red Baron, et al. I find strangers and try to shoot them down. Woe is me! As Warren Zevon originally put it, Po', po' pitifull me.

    What's wrong with you chaps. My shrink Dr Spock says it is quite natural to lust after, stalk and, aquire as many beautiful planes as you can get your hands on.

    This is scary - just had a quick tot up of the ones I can remember. 75 WoW and repaints, plus an assortment of Skytrex/SRAM/Revisresco. This doesn't include about 25 unpainted models. When does a hobby become an obsession?

    Only when you think of it in that way Steve. that probably means it is time to get more planes.

    I have 13 planes plus both of the balloons. I just started playing and collecting. The main thing that will hold back my collecting is the availability (or lack of) of some of the planes. I also have about 1000 painted orcs, elves, dwarves, etc along with about 5000 Mage Knight figures that are now going to be sitting on shelves in the basement.

    I have 19. Four of them are from Skytrex (2x D.H.2, 2x Fokker E.III). I also have two more Skytrex models almost finished, Hanriot H.D.1s.

    Its only an addiction if the only thing that you think about are little planes and how to acquire more. I'm not that bad yet, I only spend about half of my waking hours thinking about little planes and missions. The other half are spent thinking about Axis and Allies strategies. So there, I don't have to go to re-hab.

    Sorry Michael, but that means you have to go to re-hab twice as long.

    So if it's only about half of the time during waking hours - That only counts as about quarter of the time, right?
