I have 5 disco robos now

first one ebay, always wanted one so pulled the trigger

#2 +3 ebay as parts/ fix ups, one unit was ok the other was incompleate. I didnt pay much for the two

#4 thrift shop find, robo in red @ $30 au had to have it

#5 I found recently very cheep, busted outer case. With this and # 2 + 3 I can make two compleate units with some left over parts

I have given Sony APM Fan some parts to compleate his unit as well, but for under $185 AU for 5 Robos in various states of repair (2 are perfect) I think it would have been silly to pass these up.

Would I get more robos, sure if I find them for the right price.
Do I need more robos, no. there is green, white, red, grey and I belive blue so let me change that to yes

Whats everyones thoughts on collecting colour varients of the same box? Would this be considered "model hoarding"?

and dont forget the cover

I'm not really interested in having duplicates of any boxes; I'd rather have 10 different boxes than 10 of the same. I would only buy a duplicate of a box if I needed parts (and it had better be totally trashed or I won't part it out) or if the new one was in better shape AND cheaper than the old.
Not to be starting something, but I can't help but wonder if the fact that many grails are being hoarded, thus reducing the supply; are contributing to the crazy prices some of these command?

There are more radios on my want list that I can afford. Why waste money on one I already have? If its a good price and the box is in good shape the only reason to buy it would be to sell or trade for a box i dont have.
Also there is the space issue. I just bought new shelves in ikea only to realise that there are still a few radios I don´t have shelf space for...
