Somebody please explain to me the draw of keeping things NISB.  If I buy something, I want to build it.  What is the motivation and enjoyment of collecting sealed boxes?

 

For me it is the very limited space problem. When I build something, be it a MOC or a regular set (vintage or not), I like to have it on a shelf to be admired (mostly by me though ). So when I run out of space (usual case), I tend to either not open some sets or have them disassembled. I am always fantasizing though that I'll move in a bigger house with a dedicated "hobby" room and have everything built and on a showcase. At least that's the long term plan!

Among a few other Pirates sets I got over the last weeks, the most recent sticks out: the 6271 Imperial Flagship. I had this one as a kid, it was actually among my first bigger kits. It got lost during my Dark Ages, but I just had to get it back. So yeah, now I have a solid starting point to build something for my Redcoats. Of course I will modify the kit, but for now I'm just happy with this base to start from. :)

I also started with the 6271 as my first red coat ship. It took Lmost 20 years later to make what I always dreamed of as a kid. A Fleet for the red coats. My newest one was the 70413 Brick Bounty which I made a red coat ship to count my red coat ships to 4.
