I actually picked up a neat error-I found a twin mill with an incomplete casting, part of its fender is missing.... I'll get pics once I figure out what i did with it.

Found the 71 Mustang funny car. This thing is cool. I could be wrong, but I think they've been using the same funny car chassis for 30+ years.

And I bagged 2 TV Batmobilies .

Anybody do customs? I just threw these together  photo 1409689199_zps7530edaf.jpg

the key is to make sure the wheels and axles fit before screwing stuff up to much. I'll paint them later on maybe

Ah ha thanks. I couldn't tell on my phone and was trying to Google chevelle hot wheels. Now it makes sense.

Quick question - does anyone have a case from Carney? Or any similar? I have one regular display case from Ikea that's quite full & debating a second one, or one of those cases that mounts on a wall with individual openings for cars.

I have 5 of them in my living room. They are nicely made but be careful hanging them. I put the first one up with a screw gun and over tightened the screw and put a small crack in the back.

I don't think I posted it here but I found the Toyota p/u from BTTF a few weeks ago from this same movie series, I'm hoping to find the Delorean sometime.

Just had a question:

Do your guys collections have a theme or is it just one of each car plus doubles for trades?

I don't really care for the made up cars and tend to only go for the real life modeled ones. As well as the tv/movie themed cars.

I skip the made ups. I generally buy stuff I like, and snake the chase cars in case I feel like trading. I look for errors and stuff too. I generally buy one for me and one for my kid- and maybe more if I know I want to trade them, or in the case of anything 70s japanese, I buy ALL OF THEM.

I collect real cars. I used to collect only mopar about 15 years ago. Let me tell you what wasn't easy.

Remember that cool orange 70 Roadrunner that was out ? I think I bought about 10 of them.

I won't do ebay, but I have bought a few from vendors at car shows - a good source for models a few years old and long out of the stores. Yeah, I may pay $3 instead $1, but I don't care if it's a model I hadn't seen (or only saw here).

Also have little interest in the made-up models.

In reply to Lancer007:

I buy what I like. Not interested in value, I buy rally cars, import cars, cars I've owned before, cars friends own, etc. My collection is mostly rally, import customs, and a Dodge Lil Red Express.
