Post your collections of Diecast cars here
Here are some of the die cast vehicles my Grandson and I are always playing with. We have more vehicles and may need another shelf unit. This shelf unit was purchased from the same man who built our train shelves. There is a sliding, clear polycarbonate panel that can be slid over the whole thing but since we only use the shelves to have a place to keep the vehicles somewhere when we are not using them and not to just display them. Plus it keeps them off the floor as my feet are magnets to them.

There a combination of Hotwheels, Matchbox and Tomica. Tomica is by far the best as far as I am concerned. Quality, detail and weight are far superior to the others. Hotwheels are pretty cool too in some detail. Matchbox brings up the rear as they use a lot of plastic and some might not even be considered as diecast.

There is another 20-25 more cars all over our place Big Grin

I mostly buy "utility" die-cast. So we have mostly firetrucks, construction vehicles, trucks, etc.

I have updated my Website to include all of my Tomica cars and car/Plakid releases.
Please note that if the vehicle came with a Plarail/Tomica combination set it is pictured under the category the train from the set would be under!
Also one of my Tomica cars was included with the EF 81 Cart Rain limited release.

Thanks for checking out my collection! Just did a bunch of updates including new pic's of packaging and other neat stuff. I will be doing more updates soon I will keep you posted.


My Home Page got messed up I do not know what I did but I will fix it when I can figure out what I did wrong! haha

Could a Die Cast car really be worth this? Tomica Mini Cooper Club Coca-Cola

Thats a tough one depends I guess on the how limited the release, I do not know very much about rare Tomica's, Not like I know my Rare Plarail, I would never pay that best way to see is watch Jauce randomly to see if any others pop up and what they are priced at. You may not see another for a whole year this would tell me it is pretty rare you might see one next week at half the price who knows.
Thanks Geris

That is one big hunk of change for a small toy car like that.
