Anyone here collect diecast model cars? I do.

Fun fact, the pair of Testarossas provided by the factory were originally black. Michael Mann had them painted white to better show up in the night shots. There was a black Testarossa in the season 3 opener which some people surmise is the original one before it was painted. MV actually used a DeTomaso Pantera made to look like a Testarossa for some of the stunt scenes.

The Daytona which was destroyed by the Stinger Missiles was actually a 1/8 scale model.



I bought a pair of the Bandit T/As myself for $16.99+tax per. One I've got on eBay hoping to make a few bucks. I'm hoping to find the blue variant at Costco for $16.99 to see if I can't build an 80s street machine out of it.

I had the Maisto 993 as a kid, my Mom stepped on it and broke the windshield frame!

Did you find the blue Trans Am? I wish I would have known that, they had tons of them here. I could have sent it if all else failed!

I have a bunch of new ones I need to take photos of. Was in Wal-Mart today when they were unloading an M2 case and picked up 3 Chase special edition Coca-Cola models! There were quite a few in there.

Have collected a bunch more Hotwheels, but have tried to really focus in on my Honda, Toyota, and Porsche collection. Also working on my F1 collection, specifically Honda with a little bit of Ferrari. Lots more to go in this one though.

I've picked up some cool Toyotas lately, but the 1:24 Tacoma TRD Pro was a highlight. It appears to be Lunar Rock too, which is my favorite color.



This was a pretty significant find for me. I was in a random toy store in Hawaii and this was on the shelf. Had to get it, even though it is a coupe instead of a sedan, since it was the same color as my Si.
