You mean batchbox cars?
The smallest I own is my 1:43 '06 Williams Showcar

LOVE the evergrowing collection you've got there Master M... very nice.

Hotworks Racing is about the only one that make D1 diecast cars.

They have all the well known cars in scales 1:24th and 1:64th.
Nissan 350z (orc)
Nissan S15 (Kei Office, HKS, Top Secret)
Nissan Skyline ER34 (Blitz)
Mazda RX-7 (Apex, RE-Amemiya)
Toyota AE86 (Sift)

Aoshima produce D1 cars in scale 1:43th.

JadaToys also has some driftcars, but they don't exist in real life.

I have around 800-900 die cast cars that I've collected over the years.

Mostly the Hotwheels cars, but still they're die cast and in very good condition.

I have a die-cast mobile crane that's about 4-5 ft. tall when erected.

Dunno where I put it, though.

Or how I misplaced it!

Hmm..hav to wait till my B'day

I dont think I'd ever spend 80-100 dollars on a car you can't drive. O_O I'd only pay like $5 at the MOST for a model car. =\

I have a huge collection.

500+ 1:64 Hotwheels and about 10 1:18 Jada Toys models.

krazyammo · Post by **krazyammo** » 03 Sep 2007, 19:43

i'm thinking i should go to bartell drugs afterschool so the collection can start up.....right now it's not that much xP

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 03 Sep 2007, 19:47

They sell die-cast cars at a drug store?

krazyammo · Post by **krazyammo** » 03 Sep 2007, 19:49

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 04 Sep 2007, 00:08

Here we are.

Okay, so it's not as tall as I said, but it's still pretty big.

How does it look when the crane is packed with the crane section folded up?

shu_0036 · Post by **shu_0036** » 04 Sep 2007, 15:16

ooo...
so big...

It doesn't fold up. Not easily, anyway. You have to untie everything, disassemble the booms (which don't actually fit on the truck when it's disassembled)... Yeah, not fun.

An enzo in 1:16th

You should buy diecast cars in 1:18th or 1:43th.
You can buy a Ferrari Enzo from Hotwheels between â‚¬30 -> â‚¬40.
If you go for the Hotwheels Elite version (better quality/details), the price will be around â‚¬60 -> â‚¬70.
Or if you want the best in 1:18th, you need to look for the Enzo by BBR, prices from â‚¬240.

Thanks for the link, mm. Went browsing around through there, and from what I can tell, Auto Art makes some really nice models.

Specifically the NSX JGTC.
