• Paradise Island (60/20) – 1 available, 10 Comfort Class not used yet
• My Country (80/30) – 12 available, 4 already collected
• Coins of the World (800/400) – 2 available, none collected yet

• Joy Ride (2000/1000) – 12 available, 6 already collected
• The Art of War (2000/1000) – 1 available, 1 already collected (working toward first House of Wax)
• Astronaut Outfit (300/140) – 2 available, I collect these as I am gathering launch prep materials
• Experiments in Space (300/140) – 7 available, collected as needed

Not sure why I'm sitting on them all, just haven't felt like cashing them in. I tend to be the same way with chests - I have 20+ workaholic and silver chests just sitting there right now, I usually wait until they get above 30 and then do 10 or so at a time unless I feel like I really need to use them in search of something.

I had a bunch I was saving till the event started so I could get the Pilot Manual bonus for double points; but I had nowhere near that many.

I’m interested to see who replies to this. By all means, there will be people that have far more than me - I stopped collecting instantly around 6 months ago.
For a start, I have 657 lost and found collections uncollected, and 37 mystery chests in my warehouse.
Too many others to list them all. I had to open a load of launch rewards earlier as I had 100 of some chests following the event QLs

 

[Barkmi4 (Mike)]

I have 691 ready for the journey ready to be collected, most of these are since the drop change 4/5 updates ago..

 

[Teboho]

I have over 5 million coins uncollected in this regard and I'll need at least 3 - 4 hours just to collect all of them. You are not alone.

Wow - that makes my ~250k coins pale in comparison.

Regarding Wind Through the Keyhole collection, I have 79 to collect, and 16 already collected Plenty of money and it was so easy to get...

So do I ! not to mention that during several month I didn't have enough time to launch, and I flew only to South Observatory and Plessetsk, so, I have more than 4000 space collections !

 

[Wired Parrott]

It is very common for level 80 players to not collect unless needed for something as the exp. is wasted.
The hope is that one day they will raise the level cap again at which point mass collecting takes place.
Last time they raised the cap some players were able to go to max immediately I would guess some
have enough to do this again. (assuming the cap is raised)

 

[Olekander]

Why would you not collect instantly ?I have ocd so it wouldn't be possible not to do anyway

 

[Dragonspace]

Why would you not collect instantly ?I have ocd so it wouldn't be possible not to do anyway

at around lvl 60 i did save a few dozen collections, and turn them in with a few bonuses ( pilots manual and jar of diogenes) so i went up a couple of levels in minutes, just for the fun of that

 

[stormy]

i dont want the xp i could easily go up several levels with my collections however when level 80 comes i will be a rich person

 

[Dave]

I haven't collected anything for the past year (except for events, but then only what's needed). Also got a Jar of Diogenes for when I finally do open my vast stash!

 

[SASgold]

Same. Premature level-ups just cause issues in runway upgrades for guest planes, higher alliance requirements (I guess) and bring no benefits. I sit on all collections I don't need for one reason or the other (buildings, items, bonuses, events).

 

[Barkmi4 (Mike)]

Why would you not collect instantly ?I have ocd so it wouldn't be possible not to do anyway

1) Save them for an active bonus like pilot manual or jar of Diogenes to boost xp earned
2) To help with next years event. Usually events require collections to be completed - dropping the item specifically isn’t counted. Most wont collect any event collections until they have enough to complete the event. This way if they fail to get enough items, they are much closer to completing it next time.
3) 100 limit. Some collections reward bonuses and chests, including the launch ready chests. If you have 100 of the items, and 100 chests, there is no point completing the collections.
4) some people keep them so that if/when new levels are introduced, they can up level much quicker due to the xp.

 

[MikeH]

I stopped opening event collections last year after I finish event. I don't have that many as some others, but I have 94 Mug Sets for example

 

[Arggers]

I've several events where I couldn't be bothered to finish / couldn't finish due to bad luck with drops/breakdowns etc.
Now I've learned the trick of not collecting any event collections until you've enough to complete the whole event, it means I've a lot of spares ready to add to the totals next time that event comes round.

There's also several collections where I've already got 100 of that prize. It's a wasted collect.

wow !
the thought of planning a year ahead is terrifying! Idon't think I could ever do that

I was just the same. I couldn't have any exclamation mark on any icon. But as time goes by, I was forced, because otherwise I would need several hours just to click on everything and I just don't want to invest my time to that. So exclamation marks all over the place now

 

[Jackattack]

I always just collect my collections.
