A shot of my mtyoder truck collection. My favorite car type. Part of the Tyco/Mattel collection. The middle pic isn't working.

22tall, Man is that a nice collection of Monster Trucks... :thumbsup:

Oh and the other cars a cool also. So would it be safe to say that you are a semi-collector? :)

I can't get over the impressive collection of F1 cars piled on top of one another......looks like two # 40 STP cars, half dozen raised nose McLarens, a black tail, Jackie Stewarts car...wow!

Oh man!

What a super-nice collection!!

I never seen so many Ford GT's in one place! You have every one I've ever seen, except the black w/white stripes (and I prob' missed that).

Also, I never knew so many variations existed, of some of the models you've shown, and that translucent Turbo-Train is just brilliant!


I bow to your perserverence to obtain such a show-piece.... aaaauuummmm:o


Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece with us all! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:



Cheers!

WOW!!!!!! KILLER collection.

Love those GT 40's!!!!!! Thanks for sharing the pics.

People sharing pictures of their collections is probably one of my favorite things to see here on the ol's HT SLot board.

Thanks for the compliments. I have been collecting and playing with slots since the early 60s.

The turbo train is a neon blaster. Managed to buy some other cars also. Looks like the CEO wasn't the only one taking advantage of Tyco.

The Ford GT40 is my favorite by far. Aurora did about a million variations. Three stripe widths, some have painted tail lights and vents. Others only painted lights but not vents. With and without side stripes. And so on. Still looking for a decent black with white, white with blue and olive with black stripe.

The dark blue STP Indys aren't as good as you may think :( both have wing problems.

More to come

Awesome stuff! The other great thing about your pics is that when my wife starts to grumble about how many cars I seem to be acquiring I can always show her these pictures and prove I really don't have much to speak of at all.

blackroc- I usually get one of two comments from women, you're wierd or now I see why (insert male counterpoint name) wants to be here all the time. I think it's in the genes(sp) ;)

Goodwrench- I am missing 16 from the book and 16 from the update. I think I bid against you for a Tyco set with the #7 and #8 niteglow Ferraris. Sorry, needed the #8.

I think completing the update will be much harder to complete with the F1 cars being the hardest to find.

LOL no prob, I have 2 of the #8 an 3 of the #7, I was biding on it since it was a #1 in rarity :D
