I have tons, but they live in boxes in the attic, so I am selling them. Reminds me, I must get them out and maybe give you guys fiurst dibs on them. Most are proper retro ones from back in the day.

Evening all ;D After seing the Scaletrix thread that was on the other day and how many people have still got the cars knocking about got me thinking, does anyone on here collect model cars or am I on my own? (Apart from the very funky custom ones in the for sale bit  ) Watching a load on eBay at the miniute as well... It never hurts to have more please please please say you mean mine  i have another few hundred of my own modded ones, and roughly 2.8-3 thousand others about the place lol including about 81 (iirc) matchbox estelles which are really hard to get MIB alastair, i call dibs  |

I'm a bit of a collector myself.... Here's a few of the more interesting ones. I've managed to photograph about 1/6th of my collection! I've yet to put up the 1/43, 1/36, hotwheels, matchbox and all the big scale ones online! www.reallyloud.co.uk/photo_index_toys.htm |

i do a bit of the olde collectioning myself like. its something me and my dad have done jointly for as long as i can remember. we've got this git big cabinet with all of our 1:43 stuff. there are a few other scales, but mainly 1:43. I don't have any pics of the whole lot, but have selections. The Skodas:  Classic Fords:  *I've since added a Vangaurds MK1 Mexico Limited Edition to this line up From Russia with love:  mk1 Transit:  * 1 of 2, this one was bought for me by my ex-girlfriend! ;D Some die-cast buses:  I'm also into the model cars that you assemble yourself. I've been into them for about a 18months and havent actually finished a kit yet, so in the following pics are two models i completed when i was younger.    Its all good man  |

Apart from the Capri and the Corsair they're all Vangaurds. The Capri is a Carorama model, and I'm not sure of the Corsair - it came from Germany. The Vangaurds Mexico I got was fantastic. Really detailed too |

Surprising Skoda, have you done your magic on those Renaults I sold you via ebay yet? I've seen your stuff, and they look really good. I saw this at the recent NEC Classic car show, which made me laugh.  |

I've been collecting since I was a kid (and my 9 year old son collects too) Nowadays it's mainly Hotwheels stuff,which at the last count were up to about the 1500 mark but I've also got a lot of corgi stuff from the 60's onwards including many juniors and rockets. Theres also Dinkys,Matchbox,siku,majorette,Johnny Lightning and other stuff like russian and portugese toys. My son has built up a collection of about 130'ish James Bond cars including a Bond scalextric set and is currently into the Mattel 'CARS' diecast series. The old Corgi toys factory used to be in swansea and when I was in school I did 2 weeks work experience in the design office which was brilliant I havent got any photos of my collection as they are all in boxes up the attic  |
