I'm with you, Galen! and with doctorwayne, too! Some things are always on the shopping list, "whether I need them or not." 
if you really want something, you will find a way to get it. One of the reasons I had so much "material" to work with when starting out on the Big Blue 2010 Summe Structure Challenge was because over the years, when I went to the hobby shop, If there was an interesting structure that I thought had potential, either on it's own ar as a kitbash, by itself, with another like it, or maybe with some other structure, and I had a couple of bucks, I would buy it. Sometimes that has worked out, sometimes not so much. Do you know anyone who is looking for an FSN Enginehouse (yellow box) or an SS Ltd. Victorian Station (before they came with an interior) ... or how 'bout one of Durango Press's "The Palms" station kits? :?: :?:
Like doctorwayne I have quite a collection of packets of strip styrene, acquired the same way he acquired his, although mine do not reside in such a fine rack (but will soon ... the next time I fire up the hot glue gun and cut up corrugated cardboard boxes.) I get the strip styrene as much to add on detail or trim to some kit I'm building or brace the interior of a structure somehow as to use it to scratch-build something.
So, yeah! Go for it! If you want it, build it! Just start -- you'll find a way to fund it as you go.
