A good stash can be an issue with the Chief. We see them as money in the bank and builds down the road that very likely will not be there when we want to build them. Unfortunately, in most cases, the ruling powers to be, see them as just the opposite, can't understand why we buy countless boxes of kits, especially after seeing how many actually get built.
At my age, I know I will never build what's in my very thinned out stash and now normally buy just to either replace the open space for a kit I've actually managed to build or even sell to make room for 'new blood'.
