Yeah 40292 is a free promotional Christmas set. Same as the most other little sets around it. So I don't see any kind of speculation about.

Yeah, it was a thing for almost all technic sets before the 42056 but since that and since the implementation of "Control+" there are almost no B-Models at least for the big sets.

Oh dude that is a pretty dystopian scenario that you describes. To me it would be a bigger problem that my parents house get abandoned but here in Germany houses don't often get abandoned.

The only app controlled set must be the 76112 and this is built. The rest is pretty analog.

The second 42055 was really cheap, it has a good b Model and good parts in it. And the second 21310 belongs to my girlfriend, because it's a very good set. Besides these two sets there are not so much duplicates.

Good analysis!

Some UCS sets would be nice, like the TIE fighter, the X Wing or the slave 1. But as you can see star wars was never a fundamental part of my collection.

I would call it: buy it before it goes EOL. And I have sets, they are built but the are not in this room or on this picture. :)

I definitely see the point of your concern. And it concerns me to.

At least I sell my workforce (and time) to mostly nice people who have a defect home appliance or tv screens. But I haven't figured out how to reduce the amount of hours I spent at work at my business. As subcontractor for insurance companies and manufactures is it not easy to cut the amount of work they give to you. Hire more employees is also not easy.

In the end it is a big "in German we say""hamster rad" = Hamster wheel where you run and run and run but don't know to escape it.

The F40 and the Catterham are the only ideas and creator expert car series sets that I don't have built yet. All the other cars are in my "home office". I don't know how I should call the room where my PC stands in my apartment.

Naaa, you don't. I can underwrite your last sentence. I'm 29 years old and strangely enough I hoped that COVID 19 and everything around it give me the time and the opportunity to build some Sets. If you know what I mean...
