What happens to your collection when you're gone?

THIS!  This is how I told my wife I wanted to go out... Put me on a boat, push it into the ocean and light er' up.

Better this way because the graves in Holland are too shallow to take a lot with you.

And I think they're only good for a couple of decades anyway....

Surprisingly short indeed, though how long does that burning ship last for... 

I say bury my in the backyard, unmarked grave, with all my tools and toys, give future archaeologists something to think about.

My thought was if it's gonna be a short stay, make it REALLY short.  besides, no one can dig me up from the ocean

You realise that our dragnet ships regularly bring up mammoth bones right? If they ain't save nobody is.

DONT CONFUSE ME WITH FACTS!!!

I'm 20, so I'd like to think I won't have these issues for a while, but having read the entirety of the thread the terracotta army option suits me fine.

A few years ago one of my best friends died unexpectedly. On behest of his wife I catalogued his wargame-related library, rulesets and miniatures and divided these among everyone willing to make good use of it.

It was a strangely satisfying thing to do. making sure all those things he put love and energy in would end up in a good place. I have since played against armies that used to be his.

I hope my stuff will end up the same way one day.

I found this sincerely heartwarming and touching.

And I'm another one that's had this wish for years. I blame Return of the Jedi and being in awe of Vader's funeral pyre.

All my painted soldiers will go to good friends and I'm hoping they will get as much fun out of them as I did.
Since we're talking about several thousand figures they have to do me one favour. I'm also sitting on a nearly complete Mithril collection which is worth a few pennies, so they have to sell that for my wife.

Am I the only one who hoped an Ewok would wander too close to the fire and run around burning?

I am pruning mine down to just one or two time period armies and selling off all the rest.  I am making halfway decent progress in this - but need a buyer for my humongous 25mm Napoleonic collection!  Somebody, please?!!

My wife wouldn't have a clue - what's left in the end should I be successful in the sell off can go to someone who really will enjoy them.

Just my two cents - cause I'd hate to wait til the end and see them dumped in the trash or sold for peanuts when wife and family can use the money.

[Dr. The Viking]

I hope to live long enough to get impaired vision from old age.... at which point I will sell of my collection and go to the Bahamas using the money.
