I wish! I moved so often in years past, then my folks moved & the kits didn't survive. I had a decent collection too. I didn't blow them up, or anything at least. I gave many of them to a cousin, don't know if he still has them.
I'd like to obtain MIB, repros even of The Forgotten Prisoner (w/FM logo on box preferably), Monster Scenes Vampirella & Prehistoric Scenes Sabre Toothed Tiger. Maybe someday.
My Mego & Bandai monster figures fill the void in my current collection.

I have my Aurora Glows from being a child of the 70's. They were all together, but over time some have come apart. I only have the front of the boxes. Loved the art growing up!

I have lost a lot along the way but what I still have is all the original 13 monsters (non-glow) lost by moving around being a military brat. As for other original Auroras I have left are Captain America, Tonto, Superman, Batman, Robin, Green Beret Solder, Tarzan, Lone Ranger, Spiderman, Incredible Hulk, Munsters, Superboy, Captain Action, Land Of The Giants snake and Frankensteins Flivver and Wonder Woman. I used to have all the Monster Scenes and all the glow monsters. I also had both Man From Uncle models and Oddjob and Robot from Lost In Space and Dick Tracy and the Anzio Beach model.. I did pick up some of the Polar Lights reprints of the ones I had and some I didn't have before like James Bond. I sold all my Addar Planet of the Apes models and my 6 Million Dollar Man models but I kept The Bionic Woman. I still have some Horizon heroes in the attic unbuilt such as She Hulk, Spiderman, Captain America, Batman, and Superman. I wish I had them all back.I don't do heroes much anymore , just monsters (Universal of course)

I wish. I gave some away to a cousin, the rest probably were sold at a garage sale by my folks (w/my permission, shame on me). I had a nice collection: most of the glow monsters, Prehistoric Scenes, Planet of the Apes & Star Trek ships.
I loved them all, but my favorites were The Bride of Frankenstein & the Lost In Space Cyclops.

I have some various Prehistoric Scenes dinosaurs and such in various states of disassembly. I still have my original glow version Godzilla and King Kong (also in need of repair). I also have a D'Artagnon that I put together a few years ago that I found unassembled in my late father-in-law's cabinet. Aside from that I have a bunch of empty boxes (Glow and Frightning Lightning)for many of the monsters.
