Anyone on NYSpeed a collector of die cast cars? Now that I have a little guy I have started his collection of toys cars which of course spurred me to get back into collecting for myself as well. So now every trip to a store I go down the toy aisles searching for certain models that catch my interest. The detail in 1/64 scale cars these days are amazing. Here are a few shots of the collection I have started over the last few months. Pretty much all Hot Wheels brand with a few Matchbox that are not pictured and of course Monster Trucks. Many more monster trucks have been gathered and created since this picture was taken. ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35032&stc=1](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35032&stc=1) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35033&stc=1](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35033&stc=1) Anyone else here on NYSpeed into die cast collecting? ---

Hahah I didn’t mean you had to post up right then! But thank you. That s2000 is nice! Hot wheels has another one coming out soon with a Tein springs livery. As well as a classic NSX. Not sure how close you follow this stuff. ---

Used to collect them. have close to 300 still in the packages that I collected from middle school on up. When I moved, I realized they were taking up space and not appreciating like I’d hoped, so after a couple week stint trying to sell it all, I just gave them to my brother for my nephew. He now gets a new car every time he’s good, and I get much more value knowing he’s enjoying them. I still walk by and look at them in the stored though… ---

When the little guy is asleep while I’m home alone before work I do some custom Hot Wheels and Monster Jam trucks. Inexpensive hobby since I cant afford to do much to real life cars at the moment. It satisfies my need to be working on something. It’s entertaining modifying and detailing things. ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35038&stc=1](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35038&stc=1) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35039&stc=1](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35039&stc=1) Then when they are finished and little man is awake, we play with them. ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35040&stc=1](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35040&stc=1) ---

^ Nice Work! I had a huge amount as a kid of hot wheels and matchbox. Around 14 I started collecting for about a year. Sold most at garage sales we had. Still Have this one. ![http://i.imgur.com/zpq0Jkk.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/zpq0Jkk.jpg) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hot-wheels-matchbox-diecast-collectors-on-nyspeed/272388.md?page=2)
