Been collecting diecast cars over the years from 1:64 right up to 1:12

Pictures were taken in my basement office (a.k.a mancave) of my house.
Or as my better half calls it (my toy-room lol)



























Have quite a few more boxed away, wont be set up until I get a couple of nice glass displays later on during the year. If anybody else collects or has a few diecast kicking around I would love to see what you have! Hopefully I'm not the only one with this obsession lol!

Thanks Flo,

If your looking for display's you might want to hit up this guy:
Custom displays

He builds displays in his home in Brampton. He also does custom jobs as well. Since he's in Ontario I'm sure you'll save a bit in shipping. I am very happy with the quality of work he does.

Neat collection, I notice you have the TV series Batmobile, by the sheen on it I assume it's the Hot Wheels metal one?

I have that one and another Batmobile from the '60's DC comics era.

Yes... I'm bats :)

*Bingo* it is from hot wheels.

Most of the collection consists of Hot Wheels, Burago, Maisto, AutoArt, MotorMax, Jada, Ertl, Kyosho.

I'm trying to focus (pardon the pun lol) on more of the "Hollywood" cars right now, I have the bat-mobile as you saw, Speedracers Mach 5, the James Bond Vanquish from Casino Royale, I wouldn't mind adding to that such as "Micheal Keaton's" Batmobile from the 90's which they just realeased now . I am looking for:

Knight Rider's KITT & his counter-part KARR
Starsky & Hutch Gran Torino
Dukes of Hazzard General Lee & Roscoe's Police car
Smokey & the Bandit T/A
Mel Gibson's Ford Falcon GT from Mad Max
and about 10-15 other TV vehicles which would just add to this list hahaha

At the same time I'm trying to add to my "Martini" racing livery.
My wishlist keeps getting bigger & my pocketbook smaller,
I think I'm gonna need more room lol!

I'll take some pictures eventually, but i've got a decent collection as well. Just got into a fascination with monster trucks as well, so the hot wheels will find their own area soon enough. lol

Nice collection! :)

I have a few, mostly Mustangs or other Ford products. They'll be going on the wall in my son's room, until the rec room is finished. It needs to be started though so it might be awhile... :D

Nice collection.....Can I come over lol

Cool collection!! It's fun collecting stuff you like.

If this for anyone to post pics of their mancave? :ph34r:

(Gotta take some better pics when I have the time.)

Great collection you have there. A friend of mine collects WWII era artifacts and period swords from the Pacific rim.

Sure, anyone can feel free to post pics of your "sanctuaries" lol. I find it is interesting to see what people collect. B)

1/18 scale Porsche 917L, martini&rossi livery, from autoart
1/18 scale Ford Focus, WRC, Colin McRae, #4, from autoart, not made anymore
1/18 scale Ford GT Gulf blue and orange, from beanstock
1/24 scale Ford Focus SVT, orange from burago
Started late, due to raising three kids

very nice "man Caves" you both have there. i also like to collect knives dagers and swords

Awsome collection man. I'll have to take some pictures of my own too! I have about 73 of those 1/18s. Mainly old muscle cars but they are good fun to collect :)

I sold off about 100 1:18 scale cars last year. I kept some. I just don't have the room, with a 2 year old and another coming, I purged.

I still have a smokey and the bandit, general lee, vanishing point, 429 boss(gone in 60 secs collection), bullit and numerous FIA GT racers (GT1, R8R, R8C, CLK GTR, LMP BMW, LMP caddy, etc...).

I still have my hotwheels 1:64 collection and my johnny lightnings but they live in rubbermaid bins.
