Show us your die cast car collection!

[WASABI]

I know that a lot of you guys, love cars so much, that they have to collect models of your favorites. Some people (my wife) say it's a sickness, I like to think of it as a hobby. Sure if I invested half the money I've spent on toys over the years into my Miata, it might have an LS1 engine swap already! :teehee:

Show us what you got !

This was my office a couple of years ago. over 150, 1:18th scale models, most mounted in clear plastic cases.

[Agent☣Orange]

Haha, that's not fair starting a thread like this when you have hundreds of nice models perfectly displayed. Do you collect antique computers and monitors too? ;)


Love the collection. I have a few Matchbox cars, not worth posting. I just buy them because they're yellow and 99 cents.

[WASABI]

HA ha ha ha...my office circa 2003! Now it's all lap tops, lasers, and photon beams. I have about 3000 1:64th scale Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and Johnny Lightning as well.

This was from a photo shoot I did for work, using some of my redlines.

http://www.fagerquist.com/miata/toys/redlines.jpg

Truth be told, I sold 150 of the big (1:18th scale) cars. I kept the race cars (Porsche 917, 904, GT40, Lola, Indy).

[Phatmiata]

Wow! Impressive collection! I have way too many cars, but I had to take mine off the walls once my kids got big enough to yank them off the walls. :fp:

Most of mine are 1/64 scale hot wheels. Ill try to dig up some old photos and post them up.............

This was all I could find, taken back in 2004. I think there is more on my Cardomain page.

[Sarah]

I don't have very many, about six 1/18 scale models in total. I haven't got anything new in over 10 years.

Here are my favourites

My favourite car of all time, the Ferrari 250GTO

I have most of mine in storage now, can't have this stuff laying out with two kids (boys) hahaha they would have a field day!

Here are some OLD photos of parts of my collection. I have plenty of extras if anyone wants to trade stuff, might take me a while to dig it out though.

Here are some of my Hotwheels "RedLine Club" Cars

Here are some of my favorites, the VW Drag Bus's thee "Heaviest" Hot Wheels Car ever Produced. It is fairly rare, and very sought after in the Hotwheels Collectors Crowd.
http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/534/561/1332780095_medium.jpg

Here is my case of "RACE TEAM" cars, took me a couple years to put this one together as i had to search alot of flea markets to find the unique are hard to find cars.
http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/534/561/1332780103_medium.jpg

This is my Ferrari Case, there are lots of cool Ferrari's in here even some old Ultra Hots, and FAO Schwartz Ferrari's.

Once the kids are bigger Ill get this stuff outta storage and take recent photos, these are super old photos as you can tell by the quality.

[Agent☣Orange]

What about when you get bigger?

[WASABI]

Nice stuff Randy. You are making me want to go and break out some of my Hotwheel collection that's trapped in Rubbermaid boxes. I remember back in 1996, when they were new models, finding 21 Drag Busses in one store. I had 60+ of the original blue racing bus at one time. Talk about heavy. I think we can trade something...Hotwheels for Miata parts? :teehee:

-Jim

[Demon I Am]

That's a serious collection. I have a few select ones from the last few years, but nothing to awesome. The Mazda Furai, and Arkhan Assylum Batmobile are probably my faves. I had a nice little 1:18 collection, but they went to storage when the boy-child became mobile. I might have to drag them out again soon.

[Phatmiata]

WTF!!!!! 60 VW Drag Buses!!! I hate you now!!! haahhaaha I started collecting in 1998, so I missed out on that Bus and a lot of the first Treasure Hunts. But I've been a member of the RLC since it started and have most of really cool stuff they sold online only.

Ultimate Soldiers 1:6 MH-6 hanging up there? Want to sell it? :) I've been trying to track one of those down for a long time. lol

I've got a pretty large collection in various scales, including mint Matchbox/Hot Wheels that were my dad's when he was younger, it's all boxed up from moving and until I finish the basement in my house.

Good eyes!!! I wish I still had it...I am a big softy, and gave it to our good friend's son, a 10 year old little boy. He LOVED it. It was a pain to move around, but in great condition...a store model with an extra rig w/eye hook to hang it from the ceiling of the store.

[Phatmiata]

Okay so make me a list of what you are looking for and lets trade, new and old, most of my stuff is from 1995 to present.

Definitely commendable! I'm sure it's one of his favorite things! I had lined things up to get a store model too, I was there when they were taking it down and got to watch it take its final flight. :( Was not repairable unfortunately.

[JamieH]

I need to make a proper display for mine. Many of them are still in cardboard boxes wrapped in bubblewrap. And these are all old pics.

[94R]

Just picked these up at Fred Meyers.

What set is this from? I love that garage scene!! That's awesome! And yes let's see some recent photos!!




Just picked these up at Fred Meyers.

I have that 1st gen RX-7, they have a Blue version and a black version out right now. I love that they are bringing all the old school Japanese Classics out now! They need a NB and NC Miata already, and a new repaint of the current NA would be nice.

[wannafbody]

I probably have a bunch of chase cars including 1/24 White lightnings, and 1/64 WL, Green Machines, M2's and a few TH's.

[JamieH]

What set is this from? I love that garage scene!! That's awesome! And yes let's see some recent photos!!
The garage pieces are from the GMP 1:18 tool sets, the two '32 Fords are GMP/ACME pieces; the Southern Speed & Marine and Aero Rod. As for the garage itself, it's something I cobbled together with some comic backing boards, a pen and tape measure. The magazine sitting on the work bench is a Hot Rod mag that I scanned, reduce to scale and taped to some comic backing board.

You can still find the GMP 1:18 tool sets on ebay. I'll get some fresh pics tonight after dinner.

[SpeedWorks]

Well, my collection is no where near as extensive as some of you guys, but I'll share what I have anyways:

http://i753.photobucket.com/albums/xx174/speedworksgarage/MISC/SAM_1035.jpg

Then to go along with my speed racer die cast Mach 5, I have a nice set of collectible Speed Racer bookends with all paperwork for numbering of the set.

http://i753.photobucket.com/albums/xx174/speedworksgarage/MISC/SAM_1036.jpg

And to compliment both of these I have a nice Speed Racer poster, audigraphed by Peter Fernandez, voice of Speed, and also Corinne Orr, voice of Trixie. This one is legit with all the correct paperwork.

And lastly, my favorite framing of Spidey:

OK, so I recently bought a few cheap shelves from Wal-Mart and changed the display of my 1:18 diecast.

[iRoadster]

I picked up one of the bosozoku Skylines the other day, the "Mad Manga". The one I have is red and gold though.

http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Hot-Wheels-bosozoku-Mad-Manga-02.jpg

[JamieH]

Yeah, I picked up one of those some time ago as well. I figured there were other colors, just haven't seen them. Now I want a purple one.

I first picked one of these '55 Chevy Gassers up from Target. Saw them at Wal-Mart about a week later, ended up buying 4 more.

http://www.southtexasdiecast.com/hwguide/images/2013/2013_190.jpg

[Phatmiata]

I love the 55 Chevy Gasser, just wish they had used more metal in that casting. Im sure they will make more 55 Chevy Gassers in the premium lines that will have fancy paint and heavy metal cast. :slayer:

[JamieH]

Yeah, I was a bit saddened that the moon tank was part of the plastic base. I hope they put out some different paint scheme on the basic model soon. Would look so awesome with metal flake paint and colored glass.

[drv2fst]

.....love the Mad Manga

[JamieH]

Anyone else go through all of the copies of a single Hot Wheels car at a retailer looking for the "best" one? Because I've noticed that basic 1:64 Hot Wheels don't have the most consistent painting and printing. And it always still seems like a roll of the dice since you can't see the other side of them until you get them out of the pack.

Good luck! unless your are the one opening the fresh case! There are a ton of collectors in my area so all the good stuff gets snatched up fast!

[Phatmiata]

^ Go for it Randy! I'm honored you'd wanna show that off. I think it's a bit poor. hahaha!

Setup: My backyard. That's the leaf-covered lawn and my sidewalk.

I set both cars to the left side and pushed them across the scene. Then I jumped over to the camera and tried to pan them. Long-ish shutter speed on manual exposure. The camera is just on the ground and rotating. I got a ton of shots with no car in it at all. It was just trial and error. It woulda been a lot easier with someone to push the cars, but no one else was home.


okay will do! be prepared for a lot of new traffic to your website! hahhahaha

[JamieH]

I just get the best of what's left, if that's the case in my area. I have no idea if there's any serious collectors in my area. There probably is, but I've never ran into any. I always check out the Hot Wheels when I'm in places like Wal-Mart and the such. I'd buy more if they didn't go too far with stripes and graphic designs on so many of the cars. I mean, yeah, they're for kids, but kids would still think they're awesome if the models of real cars weren't as wild looking.

There's been quite a few times I'd see something I like then end up not buying it because of, what I feel is, excessive graphics.

I've got probably the most detailed model car I've ever seen. My ex got this for me for christmas.

Did I mention I hate anything with a Nissan Badge? They didn't have an FD one, otherwise the chick would of gotten that for me.

But with the upcoming purchase of my NA. I'll see if I can find one. that's gross merlot colored.

And she became your ex because she bought you something with that badge? :lol: Man, you are hard core!

[JamieH]

Found on craigslist, bought 19 1:18 for $225, a little under $12 a piece. Some of them are decent models, some of them aren't perfect.

Holy christ!

Kind of makes all of the Hot Wheels I've collected so far look like shit. That, and it makes me want to figure out a better way of storing/presenting my collection.

All of this.

Where does one find those clear cases you have mounted on the walls?

[wannafbody]

Check Ebay for the plastic cases. Carney makes them.

Bravo Sir, bravo! You have a great collection... and I'm most impressed with the variety of scales, models, and manufactures. Do you have a favorite car?

[Phatmiata]

Leading Down to the RFS (Room Full Of Shit) lol .....

Darikr, your collection is amazing.
Thank you for posting!

I've been thinking about getting some pics of the Hot Wheels I've opened and stored in those sewing thread roll organizers you can get off amazon. I also have come to the conclusion I need more of them. Anyways, here's the pics.

You may notice there's a bit of organizing going on. But I have obviously ran out of space.

The last couple of pics has the cars from my youth that are still in good enough condition to be presentable.

Also, the ERTL Speed Strips. Don't know if anyone else remembers or knows of them. But, you put the cars on that black box/stand and they work like a View Master. In this case, you get a 4 panel comic strip showing each car escaping the cop. I think what I have is a complete set of the cars themselves.

Jamie you can get the thread cases cheaper on JCPenny online. $9 each. Free shipping over $100 worth. You look like you can use more lol.

[JamieH]

Where? I'm only finding them listed for $21.

Right now they're $9.74 on Amazon.

Free shipping over $35.

I will probably buy them off amazon since I usually buy about 2 or 3 at a time. Usually 2 and a few more items I've been eyeing on Amazon to hit that free shipping mark.

Found some old photos on my phone of some of my loose collection. Some have dubs from Kmart days. Anyhow thought I would share these.
