Anyone a DieCast collector?
 

Just wondering. I kinda got into it about 1 1/2 years ago. I'm holding myself to Firebird/Trans Am's only. So far I've got (all are 1/18 scale):

Lane Exact Detail Series (these are expensive but NICE!):

68 Firebird Vedoro Green, 1 of 2000
68 Firebird Aleutian Blue, vinyl top, 1 of 2500
68 Firebird Starlight Black, 1 0f 1002
68 Firebird Triple Black, vinyl top, 1 of 504

Ertl:

1 of 1700 1996 WS6 Trans Am (yellow)
1 of 1200 1996 WS6 Trans Am (black)
1994 25th Anniversary T/A
1970 Trans Am (lucerene blue with white stripe)
1977 Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am

Yat Ming:

1999 Inverse 30th Anniversary T/A convertable
2002 WS6 T/A Convertable

I wish someone made a nice 3rd Gen Trans Am though, like a 20th Turbo T/A or a 91-92 T/A.

Anyone else a collector?

i got almost all the ones you have+:
some random EVO's
04 GTO chrome-blue finish
Auto Art 510 SS Concept signed by John Moss
and other random crap...but yeah, I'm always on the lookout for a TT/A, and the GMP GNX for a reasonable price, not $200+

I'd love to see a pic of the '70 T/A. My first car was a '70 Formula with the same paint sceme.

Im not big into Diecast cars, mostly cause they cost too much for my taste, but I do have a few favorite hot wheels in a display case :D

I just got this little one from KB Toys

Most of the bigger scale cars in my room are models I have built.

I'll try to get a pic up for ya. It's pretty nice.

I've only paid between $15-40 for all of mine EXCEPT for the Lane Exact Detail ones. The Aleutian Blue and Verdoro Green ones I got for about $65 each, and I just paid $150 for BOTH (meaning together) of the black ones. They're WELL worth it.

I've been all over the place looking for a turd.......I mean third gen ( :lol: just kidding) 1/18 scale and there's NOTHING I can find out there. Not even Franklin Mint.

I looked high & low for one similar to my old Trans Am, I dont think it exists on the face of the earth. Occasionally on Ebay I'll find an older Plastic Type model, of an Aniversery or 84 T/A

I've got too many to list, 99 WS6 T/A 30th anniversary coupe and vert, several late 4th gen WS6's, 02 SS's, several C5's, several Vipers, Ford Lightning F-150, several 1st gen Camaro's, 67 Chevelle SS, 69 GTO.

Need to add some 70 Chevelle SS's, early 70's Old's 442's and early 2nd gen F-bodies. 8)

Where'd you find the 30th T/A coupe?? Who makes it?

I don't remember now. I'll look for it when I get home. I seem to remember it had silver/chrome wheels, not the correct blue wheels and it was 1:24 sized.

i have about a hundred die casts. it is an all f-body collection :)
i pretty much stick to the 1:64th stuff from the major companies. hot wheels, matchbox, johnny lightning...

I have a good size collection of 1/18th scale cars as well as 1/64 scale size cars. Many of mine are TV related (Knight Rider, Dukes of Hazzard, Herbie, etc.). I have some original cars from when I was a kid and a lot of new ones. The most recent one I got from the Pontiac show was a 94 Anniversary TA.

I also try to collect some choice toys from when I was a kid. I have a decent collection of TransFormers and GI Joes.

I've been trying to hunt that set down. See one on Ebay every now and again for about $40.

I love the inverse 1 of 1 30th's. I actually have 2 of them. 8)

Ill post pics later tonite. My dad and I have our basement devoted to them (150+ cars)

I got mine a few years ago at Toys R us in freehold. You might get lucky

Hey what websites do you guys order from? I am looking for a Yellow corvette C5R le mans race car, and a mcclaren LM

diecastmuscle.com Huge selection.

that site has some nice stuff. especially the 82 KITT Trans AM!

www.eBay.com :D

I have 65 1:18 scale diecast! I just moved, and they're all boxed up :( I'd love to show you guys! I collect every car I wish I could own :D I'm getting my 1:18 96 Firebird today from www.collectablediecast.com. Great site, and it's updated w/ new stuff every couple of days! Check em' out if you have time!

collectablediecast.com has them in stock. I think Motor Max makes it. Its 1:24 scale.

My 96 Firebird just came in, it looks HOT! http://www.collectablediecast.com/Pr...es/ER33989.jpg

I've got 275 of various sizes at last count, all Camaros. I think its safe to say that it has become an obsession and I am out of room. My focus is now turned to adding more REAL Camaros to my collection, hence, the purchase of the '91 last year...
