My Other..."Cars"

thatkaratekid · January 18th, 2012, 09:11 AM

I have been collecting these for almost two years now. All the ones in the pictures are 1:18 and 1:24 scale. I just got my first 1:12 scale but some cars it came with were wrong so once I get everything straightend out, I'll keep posting pictures of my cars. I have about $3,000 invested so far. The cases for the 1:18 scale are $90 each, and $40 for the 1:24 scale cars. The sad part is the guy no longer makes these custom cases so I guess I will do nice wooden ones.

Nice!

Stangluvr1970 · January 18th, 2012, 09:40 AM

I like it...
How many do you have total?

BWAL · January 18th, 2012, 09:41 AM

$3,000? holy shit

thatkaratekid · January 18th, 2012, 10:01 AM

I don't know the exact amount but I will count later. I just got 6 in the mail but I have to return 2 of them. At Sams Club, the big ones are $12 each. Those same ones online and at the flea market are $30.

Willy Mo · January 18th, 2012, 01:44 PM

I collect Hot Wheels. I but I have 2000+ all in origional packages and in wooded display cases. I also have quite a fet 1/24 scale models as well.

Mustang_Girl_32 · January 18th, 2012, 03:25 PM

That's what I was thinkin $3000 but damn they are pretty cool..

Stangluvr1970 · January 18th, 2012, 03:32 PM

I'm surprised you don't know the count. Ever think about just one particular model or one particular make? I see quite a collection. I see Audi, Corvette, Volkswagen, etc.

thatkaratekid · January 18th, 2012, 04:43 PM

114 total. Yeah I used to keep track till I got my 2000 Mustang GT lol. Yeah I thought about only collecting certain ones, but I love cars in general. If I did only get certain ones, it would be less expensive, but oh well. I do know some people that only have 20 or so but each one is top of the line brands and over $100 a piece. I'm not into top of the line brands because if I see one I like, I'll just get it because I like the car, not because I know it is coming from the best brand. When it comes to my actual Mustang though, I'm opposite because I would rather wait a paycheck and buy the best parts rather than getting something cheaper.

WabashaCobra99 · January 20th, 2012, 01:22 PM

Nice collection! I casually collect Mustangs and classic Mopars when I happen to be out and see one in the store.

ChrisJ · January 20th, 2012, 01:30 PM

You can get those cases at craft shops like Michaels...

Blue67coupe · January 20th, 2012, 05:11 PM

I've got a lot of 1:24s that I use to play in a sandbox with then went to collecting 1:18s and started out playing with them but just display them now. Have over 100+ of the 1:18s but don't buy as often anymore since I started buying the more expensive brands. Have 4 cars that were over about $115 a piece. It's an expensive hobby but I love it. And I have one 1:12 put together Shelby. All in all probably close to 200 not counting the 1,000 something hotwheels.

pretty cool collection, I have a few, but nothing like that

Went and checked yesterday, for one case for one car it is 16bucks...so the guy who I orginally bought them from was wayyyy cheaper. I'll make my own and still come out cheaper.

Mana_MGT · February 1st, 2012, 11:48 AM

Nice man!!

When I was 6 I used to have many many of those little ones, can't remember their model but it's this brand I used to see at pharmacy...

You have to watch for sales...They are known to have 75% off everything in the store sales...I saw those cases for $4 each my local one...

thatkaratekid · February 2nd, 2012, 11:38 AM

I'll keep that in mind and the ones in the pharmacy that I see are the brand Maisto.
