Default What IS your build queue?

Not wishing to pirate a very healthy thread I thought I would pose the question as to what is it that consitutes your queue? Is it the ones you want to build? The ones you could build? Those that you simply have but would imagine that you might get around to sometime. Excluding those kits which you own simply from a collector's perspective, how large could the notion of a queue become? I must have close to 1100 or 1200 kits in boxes or hanging on pegboard - I think it is physically impossible for me to build them all, but are they in a queue simply by their existence in my shop or storage?

None of the above.
To me it is the couple that you are currently working on and the next few you plan to build.

Mine are

I would have to go with what I am currently working on and the next one. Anything past that is subject to change.

So with that many kits are you willing to spread some around so we can build those kits that may be exstinct?

My build queue is usually what I am currently building and those on my wish list.

I have many models I have no interest in building. I will eventually sell them, to buy parts with.

Talking

Unfortunately, I don't fit into the designated categories, either.

But like a few others here, I would have to limit my build queue to the rockets I'm *actually working on*... *Not* the ones I'm *thinking* about building next.

As I've stated elsewhere, "Your velocity may vary."
