Some Tomica Museum Vehicles

Had these Tomica Museum Vehicles a long time.

Just wanted to share the photos here







Awesome Formula 1 picture

Usually I find that many diecast vehicle enthusiast is also a motorsport enthusiast at heart. At the very least, most diecast collectors are nuts for diecast F1 cars too.

So I am sharing this image which I found on another site. Its a VERY LARGE image showing 60 Years of Formula 1 race cars.

Enjoy!

Maisto Hummer - A personal favorite

I have a simple rule for choosing diecast toys for myself. If it looks good, I get it. I am not particular about the brand as long as the detail and quality is good. This applies to any scale.

The 1/64 scale Maisto Hummer featured here is one example. For one reason or another, many collectors have shunned the Maisto brand for Tomicas, Matchbox and Hot Wheels. Now while a good number of Maisto's are admittedly lacking in quality, this Hummer shows that one can overlook gems like this if the whole Maisto line is shunned.

Spark Models in 1/43 scale

The line of Spark Models is quite under appreciated in the collector community. So I thought I would post a few examples to show that they are worthy of serious consideration for inclusion into a collection.

A lot of these models are actually no longer with me and are in very good hands. A fellow collector realized how well crafted these models are and he bought out quite a lot of my remaining Spark models.
