solman-bad *** garage man! Unreal. How many total SC's do you have? Do you have all the colors, or do you just collect the ones you want? Do you have a white motormax moving top convertible like your real one? Very very cool. Love the cases too!
Mine are just on my built in desk.
mrblister-i am disappointed! I thought FOR SURE you'd have a die cast SC museum with cars racing on a track with horns and luxlink installed!!!
The bikes are sweet though...I'll cut you some slack!

Half Dozen
Hi scdroptop--Only 6 SC's so far, but looking to collect each color combo. Motormax is the best with folding top and opening doors and hood. I have a Welly that is White/ecru but trunk doesn't open. Also have Maisto Silver/ecru with opening hood, trunk, doors. The motormaxes are black/ecru, white/ecru, red/black, gold/ecru. I am a real fan of die cast but cringe on spending more than $20. The welly was won on ebay for only $7. I do have a friends who buys me nascar diecasts and spends over $100, I could see doing that myself. I would say my average is probably $25. You'd be surprized how many came from Kaybee toys in the $10-15 range. It is an attraction for all. Either a trip to memory lane or kids who don't want to go home. I keep a supply of oldies for their use so they dont get into the good stuff. Quite honestly, my SC was only a dream of mine until about 2 years ago when resale prices came down low enough to buy on a teachers salary. 02 with only 23K miles for $25K too hard to pass up-Cant believe my 01 PT cost almost as much (except New). Lots of PT die cast too. scdroptop-I really enjoy your posts. Your new purchase sounds like a lot of fun-good times!

Dont be dissapointed I have sc mini cars dubs collection at least 8 cars . Also the convertable miastro . I even have the big lexus sc430 tanaka rc car. Its about 14 inches long I built it from the kit. I am trying to figure out how I can build a flying rc model of my car with wings . Can you imagine that. I am just like a big kid I am 64 look like Iam 50 and act like I am a teenanger. Iam married to a woman that is 27 x 2 = 54 . So I tell everyone she is 27. LOL

This collection is about 20+ years old. The display cases are CD/DVD storage cases purchased from Ikea for $99 Ea. Only the SC and the little ones go in this garage. Used like a family room for parties. Garage floor is epoxy. Vertical compressor is plumbed to the garage door area and the hose is on a 50 foot retractible wheel-also used to keep the collection clean while Zaino is the only thing that goes on the SC. The wife gets the carport for her Infiniti. My buddy is an electrician, hence the lighting. SC 430's are great hobbies, both big and small.
Those of you in Southern California, be sure to read the Cars and Coffee thread. I am thinking Saturday Nov 7th.

azkaty-here are a couple of wet your whistle...MORE DETAILS on your new addition to the family!!! pics!!!
green is very hard to find, if you really want to find some sweet 1:18's you will need to look under "welly sc430", "motormax sc430", maisto sc430 put a space inbetween sc and 430 as well as check for "soarer" with any of those combinations as well as lexus die cast and lexus convertible. I also check all the ebay international sites too.

These are all smaller models, but I will put a search out for the big boy, 1:18 Welly. I have only seen one or two jade in this size. The blue are rare too. Oddly enough, I thought the twighlight amethyst pearl was super rare but I found a couple just now. Called black red or black cherry internationally. Interesting!
