Hello All! I came across this website as a link from another site about two days ago. I've been collecting die cast cars for as far back as I can remember, and am now up to about 450+. I have nine, 48 cases that are full, plus about 150+ still on the card. My favorites are Matchbox, Majorette, and Siku, although if I like something, I'll buy it.

Rather than a hobby, my family calls it an obsession. :rolleyes: I love going to antique stores to see what I can find. This past Friday, I was in Prescott (Az) at an antique store when I came across a 48 car case with 45/46 cars in it. $26 dollars later it was mine, and now that I've had a chance to look through it, there are some gems, as well several oldie-but-goodies. If anyone's interested, I'll post some pics.

I love this site and can't wait to "meet" people who love die cast as much as I do.

awesome. Sounds cool. I had a couple when I was younger. An Isuzu Amigo and a VW Passat wagon and I had a ML320 police vehicle.

D'oh! I've only bought off the internet, so I don't know the ins/outs of selling and trading. But I'm up for it.

PM me back with stuff you either want to trade, or would like, and I'll see what I can do.
