My little corner of the world. Mostly xB but also Trucks, Buses, V-Dubs and Muscle cars


xB only pics



Loose xBs


Stored xBs


Misc. shots

Stored Matchbox

Stored Hotwheels


Wanted:
Maisto RWB on the Custom Shop blister

Copper colored HW Dropstars

I decided to mainly stick to 1:64 small scale.

I have a few 1:32 and 1:24, but really don't have the room to display them. I might make a "free for shipping" post and unload the excess. Or maybe a SL auction!

Nice! Did you ever get the CHUB CiTY xB's or the Transformer xB's? If you are going ALL out might as well buy the whole store.

Naw, never got any Chub City..too big to display them for me. And I like the "realistics" mainly. I have a red HW Modi Fighters...might be selling this one off...

^^^No way Rob! Those X Raycers are still nice and warm in their plastic jail...
The donor wheels came off other "crappy" diecast FTE HWs!

Hey Steve, how about a few shots of your collection? Any favorite pieces?[/quote]
SO HARD TO PICK FAV!!!!

I quit collecting any big stuff to much small scale to find
I'm up to 140+ diff small die-cast 1/32nd scale to 1/100th scale
Tomica I think has done more different xB/bB die-casts than the other's combined.
I have @40 diff from them not counting the Choro-Q's

I have a soft spot for the Maziora painted stuff [I have 5 so far]
seems the (Nippon Paint/Maziora) have a booth at the Tokyo Auto Salon every year
and sell custom painted/colored everything. Nippon paint has a whole line of Maziora color change paint
Soon I will start a Tomica reference thread as well as one for Choro-Q's














Picture of scale-- the smallest are metal diecast at 1/100th scale -- next to
1/54th matchbox, 1/60th Tomica, Furta egg, and tomica capsule for comparison

You really shouldn't use the "hot dry" cycle on your box...it might shrink!

The Torched Penny paint on the model actually changes color!!! WOW! Cool!

And I didn't realize that they came as small as 1:100! Makes the Furuta egg box look like a 1:32!

I like the small scale stuff. Just so many cool ones to find.
