Post your Diecast / Model / Toy car collection

[imp_Rob.]

Here's some pics of my model / toy car and truck collection.

I also have other 80's Tonka vehicles (not pictured)





Pictured here are many early 90's E30 M3 DTM/BTCC race cars, made by Paul's Model art for Minichamps. They are 1/43 scale.

Most I paid $30 each, now worth over $120+

Here a nice rare Renault 5, made in France by Majorette.

Behind that is a matchbox VW Bus, made in England by lesney. The 70's VW Buses are very collectible.

Here's a recent pickup - Early 60's Friction toy truck made by Marx toys. It is tin and plastic. Made in Japan.

Most of my stuff like that is packed up. Have several Matchbox "Models of Yesteryear."

When I was 3 in the late '70's, I was given a bunch '60's and '70's Matchbox vehicles, along with Corgi Husky and some Aurora "Cigar Box" cars. They were already old then, and I played them into the ground.



I went on a spree of trying to buy mint versions, and they are super pricey now. One of my favorites as a kid was a Corgi Husky Jag:

Husky 71, E Type Jaguar - US Price Guide #11184 .

In todays market, collectibles are a tough sell.

Younger people dont collect anything... only spend most of their extra money on monthly phone bills and useless video games...etc

Yup! People have stopped valuing history; now it's all just about consume and toss. Kinda sad, really.

Not my collection, but this was my customer's display in his garage when I detailed his car. Thought it made a good reflection shot in the roof of his black NSX.

I bought a beautiful display case with fibre optic lighting and everything but no cars to put in it yet. For now I just use it to display some retail size detail supplies in the shop.

I used to collect 1:18 diecasts Here they are in part of my office.

Been browsing these forums for a while, but haven't posted enough to throw up pictures so as soon as I hit the limit ill come back and post my father in laws collection. It's a little crazy.....just warning

 

[Bill D]

Occasionally I may find some at Costco around the holidays but nowadays they are more expensive and more difficult to find so I more or less stopped collecting. I also ran out of shelf space. I have Franklin Mints in my living room along with some glass collector cars

And then there is the basement....not looking that forward to inheriting all of these.....

 

[Bill D]

Damn! One way to get rid of them if you so choose, is to rent a lot in a flea market! There's more than a store's inventory there!!

Here's my 1950's Japan Tin Friction delivery trucks, Made in Japan.

Not sure how many are in the set.

I think these are made by the Marx toy company.
