I will judge you based on your favorite diecast model, Hot Wheels or otherwise

I've been asked how & where I keeps my collection so here it is. I know it's not pretty so please don't tell me I gotta take out of boxes etc (except the scotch, that's 1/1 scale😉 ).

I'm sad that the Tooned Batmobile post flair is gone, but oh well.

I told myself I only need one casting of any given model. I broke that rule really early…

What other iconic cars am I missing? (I’ve got a separate Lancer display)

So this is my display case in my living room that my son affectionately calls “dad’s fragile cars” that he has known since a baby to either not touch or very gentle 🤣😅. These are either my favorite or best quality representation in my collection. Endurance, GT and rally racing are my favorite to collect, and this week I decided to redo the shelf in an almost chronological order rather than by manufacturer/team to show more the history in the race cars collected when brought together. Seeing the designs that competed against each other through the decades of endurance racing.

Well, most of them, anyway. I did decide to keep a couple on card because they're genuinely special to me

For now... After a few years of finding cars from all over the world, I've completed my collection of mostly red cars without excessive tampos. Living in Europe it's sometimes hard to find the older cars. I've bought cars from the US, countries in Europe and even as far as Malaysia and Australia. The blue 312p is the first Ferrari casting and color from Hong Kong.

My focus was collecting Ferrari models that I grew up watching TV shows like Magnum PI and Miami Vice and reading about in magazines. It's a snall collection, but I'm proud of it. I've included the other side of the case with other favorites... as well as the bottom row dedicated to the cars my boys loved growing up!

All are Japanese Policecar in some shape or form, about 98% of them are tomica(some are majorette Japanese police car). Almost all of them are loose though. My last collection is tomica airport things, stay tuned for that one.

Love how Pop Race makes small variations off the bat. This one has a different exhaust and rear fender winglet delete compared to the Vancouver and Supercon drops.
