A recent surge of show-us-some-pics type threads inspired me to start my own, starring the beaters. Let's see your pre-loved, playworn, but not destroyed die-cast. Bonus points if they're vintage! I'll start the show...

At present time, I have one more beater Regular Wheel laying around; if this thread takes off, I'll post up some pics of it, too.

Great idea! I will go for a beater over anything new any day.
These are the last ones I picked up.

Diecasts with some playwear have a character that pristine new models will never have. This first one is oneof the few remaining cars I have from my childhood, and the only one where I actually know where it is at the moment!

Oops... Something's missing...

I've been collecting Lesneys of late, so I have more of them to post later on...

Jes' a plain ol' Matchbox, looking a little plainer without it's red cross on the door. Hey, it only cost me a buck as a part of a package deal on the bay. The green Continental I posted above it was a part of that deal also.

While I'm at it, here are some more "Pre-Loved" diecasts: I gotta get my collection of Corvairs into this thread!
