I think "collecting" die cast trucks is not the same hobby as
"modeling/building" die cast trucks. Same analogy as "running" toy trains vs.
"building/modeling" authentic scale models. Collectors far outnumber builders
in any hobby. Collecting is easier to do with less frustration. With a
different kind of emotional reward system as well.
