Diecast: Dinky-Matchbox-Hot Wheels
DSJ™:
So who collects diecast vehicles?
I have a small collection of diecast myself. I just took a quick snap shot of some of them & stiched the pic's together.
I have more but they are in storage. Man I need a house. ;D
So lets here from ya. Whatcha got to share? :)

I own John Andretti's 1/24th scale Attack of the Clones Nascar car and the three 1/64th Star Wars that were mail in cereal premiums around the releast of AOTC last year. Even with my love of all things Star Wars, I refuse to buy Jeff Gordon's TPM car because the guy's a tool.
At work, we have 1/64th Nascar cars of almost all the drivers. Granted a few sponsors and / or numbers are outdated, but the concept is there. We line up the cars in the order they've finished for that week's race.

Yet another thing I have to get rid of. I have about 30 vintage redline hotwheels in excellent condition. Probably another 50 or so Matchbox items as well. All need to go up on ebay. Don't collect these, but there are some pretty nice items out there.

I just received this new die cast Space 1999 Eagle. This thing is huge! :o
Compared to the old one, both pictured on top, this Eagle is 12" long which puts it at the same size as the model kits that came out & has incredible detail. 8)
There is more to come in this series. UFO Interceptor & UFO Saucer, Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray & Skydiver are on tap so far. Could give Code 3 a run for there money at $79.99! ;)

Took a step down a very, very dark path today.
Just for laughs, I check the hot wheels when I'm in the toy sections of stores (hey, they take my sportspicks :P). I've only ever found one treasure hunt, but you never know.
Well, in the past couple of days, I've bought four hot wheels. No TH in the bunch, but three batmobiles and a Cereal Cruncher. What is a Cereal Cruncher? Well, there are five currently released cars that have cereal logos on them. I had seen the Cheerios version and another (can't remember) and thought they looked pretty cool. But today I found out that one of the cars is a Frankenberry car :o Sweet! Yup, I bought it. $1.30 and I am the proud owner of my fourth current hot wheel.
Should I be afraid?
