5 years. Every time I was in a die-cast aisle,my wandering eye would be glancing at the MMs hanging on the pegs. But I had never purchased any. Don't know why,I just never did! Was in Wal-Mart the other day looking for JL,HW & MB and saw the complete sets of 5th Anniv. E & F. Without hesitation I purchased both sets. These things are sooooooo cool!! I absolutely love these vehicles! For the life of me I can't figure out why I didn't do this five years ago.(?) Then hit the local K-B & got 24 others for $1.67 each. Can't wait for the big flea-markets to start up soon. I know what I'll be looking for!! I am hooked!!!! :thumbsup: :wave:

I like any of them that are '50s and/or '60s vehicles. The ones I really want to find are the "Gassers" like GS02-01 through GS02-12,for example. :)

I'll take some pics this weekend

I was just going to ask that you do that. I'd like to see the anniversary sets especially. Nobody around here has anything anymore except a grocery store chain that is clearancing the police cars. Too bad really since I like these cars so much and always have.

I've only got a limited addiction. I've got both releases of the Military Muscle, all of the jeeps, and a bunch of the Mustangs. Also picked up the black w/ flames and white w/ flames cars a few weeks ago.

Picked up 15 more at a flea market today. Up to 93 of them now :)
Hope the pics are not that bad. Difficult to get good ones from Giavonni cases.

Yeah, you're right. I've been finding alot of really nice ones at Auto Zone. In fact,just today I picked up 04-15 '67 Nova & 04-22 '66 GTO. Last week found a couple Willys. "Big John Mazmanian", "Stone, Woods & Cooke", etc. Nice! :thumbsup:

Well, it's been about 5 months to the date since I started collecting MMs. Just counted 'em & have 250 so far. Thank goodness for all these dollar stores. This could have been an expensive 5 months! :) I also just got the '06 release A yesterday. BEAUTIFUL CARS!!! Now I gotta get my order placed for release B. Those '67 Impalas look awesome :thumbsup:

Hey,

Yeah I just bought a couple from that set. They are cool. I bought the 41 Willys and the 48 Anglia. That was all they had. Like you, I started buyin these things a few weeks back. I am now a MM junkie,
