Im REALLY into 3's, but i did buy the M6 because, well because YOU HAVE TO!!! You cant have a BMW collection without an INSANE M6. Im still missing a bunch of BMW's iin my collection, mainly, 5's ad 6's, but i already hit my limit of yearly spending on die-cast, so until next year i just cant do it. But here you go:

This is only about half of my collection. The last time i took inventory i think i was some where near 130 give or take.
I have a HUGE Rubbermaid bin of Hot Wheels. I think the last time we counted, like 2 years ago, we had 350.
No pictures of it though.

CBSIMONSEZ: thats what im talking about , VERY cool!! Last time i took count im at about 110, ive been collecting these things for about 10 yrs, so alot of them have been removed from their boxes ( i was 13 when i started this collection), which kind of sucks. Then again what kind of kid will keep these cars in boxes, right?? Well lets see if anybody else has a collection.

I have a Scion collection. :lalala: ooh, post some pics of the JGTCs!
JSosa
05-15-2007, 12:53 PM
JGTC as requested: I also chose a main team to try and find ALL their cars from every year, (Team Xanavi), but ive only been able to find 01', 02', 03', 04. These pictures do absolutely NO justice to these cars. I think, BY FAR, these are the most detailed cars in my collection. These pictures were taken from my phone and very shaky hand.
I have to reinventory, but last count I have 285 Porsches in my home office.... ranging in size from "mini" micro machines to 10th electric RC... Collecting for about twenty years.
JSosa

WOW!!! 285... DAM!!! :relief: :nails: I would LOVE to see pictures. Sometime during my life im hoping to have a room FULL of these cars, just about everywhere. I love these thing and for some reason i just cant stop buying them.

Autoart is the ish
JSosa

I only collect AutoArt, UT and Minichamps. Those are the best for the price. Of course there are better models, but for a much more expensive price.

Redneck:L HOLY $HIT!!! I thought i was hooked on these things, but your collection kills mine. Im not big into nascar, but anybody with a collection like that has my FULL respect!!
BTW: Where did you get that showcase furniture, I've been killing myself looking for a nice looks piece of furniture (like the one you have), to display all my cars. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, let me know where you bought those, and if you made them yourself i will pay you to make me some. You have no idea how desperate i am!!

JSosa, those display cases redneck has look like the ones they used to sell on the QVC show "For Race Fans Only." It comes on the QVC channel Friday nights at 8pm,I have seen them on many times, I cannot remember how much they cost. See if you can access www.goracing.com, that's the website that used to sell them through the QVC program. Redneck, that's quite the collection. I began buying up NASCAR diecast about 3 years ago and I'm think I'm up to around 40 of them, all 1:24 scale. I have mostly Dale Jr, Stewart, Truex and Harvick. I also try to complete team sets and usually buy what I know I can get signed. In saying that 95% of mine are all signed in person.

thats exactly where i got them (and i jsut sent him a PM letting him know that)
and Im not really to big on getting them signed... mainly because i couldnt decide which one i want to get signed, although the Kevin Harvick 1st win car (the all white with the red number on top) is def at the top of that list...
but the Dale Sr one that i got signed, although it is 1:43, i have had thousand dollar offers for that one piece (and i keep turning them down... Crazy I am) jsut because of what it took to get it...
and yeah... last count there was a little over 200... 1:24 and about 10 1:18, i have boxes upon boxes of the 1:64......
if you really want to know my problem, do i sell diecast to buy car parts or do i sell car parts to buy diecast

Man, I have to tell you it gets addicting. I have started buying old Dale Sr stuff and it's pricey, I'm not fortunate enough to have anything signed by him. I do have his 1997 Daytona Crash Car signed by Childress and McReynolds, I had someone tell me it could be valued over $700. I'm not sure, I don't check the price guides. Have you ordered any of the new Dale Jr specials for this season ?

I guess im not the only die-cast collector addict on this website. Once the bug has you ITS OVER!!! One time i spent about 2 or 3 months hunting down all my BMW's, which is fine, the problem is as i looked for BMW's i found a WHOLE lot of other cars that i want, that i didn't know i wanted. I can spend thousands of dollars on these cars, which is ridiculous, but for some reason, i think its ALL worth it.
