Thanks guys...and thanks Bruce for posting them.

Yes,I've been collecting for years but only since we've moved into our home a year ago that I could finally display them.

I told the wife It'd take something real special to be produced for me to collect it...with two rooms of cars,I'm just flat-out of space.

Nice stuff John! Those can get oftly costly!
Been collecting for years myself... cool!

Yeah, I'm burdened with about 600 of the damned things too. No room to display them and the value has dropped to about 25% of what I have invested. Just another of my Misguided Opportunities!

I love the Side-by-Side Novas though!

Great collection John....nice to know there's more 'sick minded' lads out there? . I'm long out of room too w/ hundreds of toys....mostly old pressed steel trucks and 30's/40's stuff w/ the 'streamlined look'. .

Here's just a few of my old car kits. Man, they take up a LOT of room! Lately I've been using eBay to convert many of them to cash for a rebuild of my Camaro's 396. I have some diecast stuff too but it all sits hidden in boxes out in the garage and attic! I'd love to have a display room like John's.
