Ive just pre ordered a 1:18th Craig Lowndes & Warren Luff Bathurst 1000 50th Anniversary VE Commodore. Its painted in Peter Brocks old Marlboro colours. That 2013 Viper looks amazing in black. I will have to add that to the list of cars I must own.

I will but the model shop said it could be a couple of months until they come in. The deadline for them to place orders hasnt even passed yet they said.

I rarely buy diecasts anymore, but I bought one today:

Not my pic, but it's on display at my work along with the only two other diecast I display(bottom two), Ford Racing Mustang(#'d to 6000) & '51 F1 Pickup Truck. This car is autographed by Cale Yarborough, and that piqued my interest.

P.S. Couple of nice Z cars!

Was at a different Costco today, and as I'd heard on other forums, they're not limited to just Maisto "Special Editions." Not only did they have a bunch of "Premiere" cars like the Carrera GT I bought and the Panamera, they also had a whole bunch of reboxed Bburago cars, including the Nissan GT-R, Porsche 356 Cabriolet, and Alfa 8C. I would've bought the Alfa had they had any red ones.

The GT is pretty cool, though. The only issue I have is that, for some unknown reason, everything behind the front bumper, as well as the panel at the back where the exhaust exits, is chromed plastic. As far as I can tell, the back panel is Carbon Fiber, and the stuff in the front should be plain black. I think I might take the car apart and spray these parts black.

I just ordered a black and a red 2013 Viper made by Maisto on ebay. I couldnt wait for them to get down here.

Had it for a few years, but thought I might post a pic of it

Long before I discovered this thread, I created my own thread for my collections:

Next time, I'll post my collections here...

That's beautiful! Who makes it?

Picked this Alfa Romeo up from Costco a couple days ago. Mom brought home the good camera, and the lighting outside was nice, so it was inevitable I took some pictures of it.

Bizarre, a sub-brand of Spark. They mostly do a lot of the older odd-ball race cars and such.

Anyway thanks

Yeah I've always found Bizarre a bit....bizarre But I love Spark. Probably my favorite model company.

Do they have a red or black one?

 

[Doog]

I don't recall seeing any others in the bunch, and I'm thorough about searching their entire display. Being a new model, I think it would be logical to assume they may stock some more in a different color soon; when I went this time, they had an abundance of black SRT Vipers, whereas last time there was just one red one. It seems like a pretty high-quality model for the price, though the rear bumper is made out of plastic and doesn't quite flow with the rest of the bodywork.

But, I love that yellow Alfa, even though I want to find that red one. But I have to find that SRT GTS 1:18 ASAP!!!

@Mp10: I'm liking that R34 GTR, who makes it?

That would be from MotorMax. Found one myself at the flea market.

Really want the McLaren F1...

yep Onyx, got them dirt cheap, around £5 each. from a yard sale.

Motormax 👍

I just ordered myself a black SRT viper, can't wait till it arrives!!!!! ^.^

Thanks! Now I'm gonna be hunting this one for sure !!

1:64 MINI Cooper S JCWs made by RMZ:

I like the details on these Minis, but they should go into the Hot Wheels and Matchbox collectors thread. There's thousands of 1:64 scales of different 1:64 car companies and these will fit right in.

1:64 MINI Cooper S JCWs made by RMZ:

Speaking of Minis, I found a yellow one at Costco and just had to had it.
And every time the Mini collection gets larger, it prompts a photoshoot.

 

[Skython]

How can you afford all of those die casts, Doog? And how can you find space? I'm looking at getting 1 or 2 1/18 cars, but I have no room.

So I'm settling with aiming to get 5 1/43 cars by the end of the year (Ixo MkII Escort rally, Sierra Cosworth rally, Bentley Speed 8, Autoart Viper Competition Coupe, and probably a Lancia of some description) and a 1/18 SRT Viper . Considering I already have two Team Oreca Vipers, I think my preference towards Vipers is starting to become evident.
