Any Die-Cast Fans out there ?

[Nostalgia]

Nice mate. Good to see a GT40 in there too. Is that the Greens Tuf XE of Dick Johnson fame that i can see ? Just had another look and i reckon i can see Tru Blu also.

It's mosrly the Biante Dick Johnson and Allan Moffat collections, with some other stuff incl Classic Carlectables BA's, some rods, and some el cheapo 1:18s too.
Also got he one in your avatar, plus others.

My collection is also cheaper stuff ie: Bburago etc. Have a few Muscle Machines and im a huge fan of Road Rats. Gotta love that suede paint and scallops. My first Classic Carllectables is on order. Its the Bill Bourke XW. I have a mix of ol skool caddies, Fords and Chevs and also some with billet wheels which arent my cup of tea. OL' SKOOL RULES in my collection.

I had probably over 100 1:18 scale models and the entire collection of biante 1:64 minicars that ive sold on ebay. Still got about 20-30 1:18's and 1:43's

They never made the BA GT in my colour. Very upset.

Never made BF GT's either : They have BA in Lighning Strike with orange stripes but no BF's at all and from what i heard they are unlikely to make any

[Rock ape]

They should make them all in all colours. Mines a M2 i don't think they made a M2 BA

There needs to be more street versions of Holdens and Fords I think.

I've always wanted Biante to make a 5L VL Calais, or even a XE Fairmont.

I hve been collecting for about 20 years. I had a room just for my cars, but when the baby came, I lost my room. Now most of my models are in crates :-( A word of advice for new collectors...find a theme and stick to it. I have never been able to stick to one theme and have ended up with a LOT of different cars. Ferraris, BMWs, Fords (general), Escorts, Aussie cars, London Buses, military, police....Now I stick to mainly English Fords and teh odd Mini. There are a lot of companies finally making Escorts but they are not available easily in Australia. Ebay can also be your friend for finding bargains.

I have avoided most 1:18 simply because of the space they take up. I have a few, but have stuck to mainly 1:43 and Matchbox cars. I have sold a few cars recently on ebay to provide funds for more cars.

It is very addictive, but great fun. I never get bored of looking at the models and shifting them about a little.

I think they are releasing either the VK or VL range (cant remeber which but I think it's the VK Brocky or something) soon. Check out their web site. Im pretty sure the Walkinshore (sp?) VL group A plastic fanatastic thingy is available.

It's got me why they didn't do the XD and XE ESPs when they released the Dick Johnson race cars. Case in point, just look above at Ford EB 4.0 collection.

[SPK-250]

The Bill Bourke special is by Classic Carlectables. I know coz my missus works there and i got one on order. :

I also got the Yellow Glow XY, which is coming out in different colours soon.

Everything else i got is Chevelle's.

Damn you guys for posting that link. I just order a Green XE Dick Johnson Racecar..grrr

But they are the only 1:43 XE's ive seen, so it will have to do.

Yeah there's the VL SS Group A (The red one) and VK SS Group A in 1:43 and 1:64 scale, but I already got those. Really rare to buy.

I've had a 1:18 scale Walky for about 3 years now.;)

LOL Cant resist hey

[yift]

sorry to be a spoiler but i have all but 1 x series road and race car to date. the one i dont have is the xy ultra white twin mirror. the model shop i have bought all my models from always sets one aside for me regardless. i also have the full to date collections of allan moffat, peter brock, dick johnson and a holden employee monaro too aswell as numerous other bathurst race cars from the group c days to current. i was going to put them all on display but now with 2 very young kids it looks like they will still stay in hiding for a little while longer. and all my models are in 1:18.

[AUTickford]

My favourite one is the best 1/18 they ever made dj,s true blu xd and i also have two ba pirtek falcons personally signed by marcos ambrose and ross stone in 1/43 scale,in the spare room is an unmade cavalier madmax xb resin model still in the box, cost me 87 bucks and is a bit out of my league[the building part that is]

[Go baby Go]

theme... ???? NOW they tell me.....

All things Moffat, DJ, Datto, Biante, Webber, Jim Richards, a few team reds, GT-R's, .....I guess my theme is what I like (not into ferrari's, lambo's etc). Must admit most are 1:18 - I'm looking now at 4 cabinets full and about 20 of 1:18's still in boxes.....

The boy has made a point of collecting the Biante Historic car - each year they bring out a "years" model.... and the Trax 1:24 Falcon's - got 'em all...
