Yum do you have the models displayed in a room or something? Pics would be cool.

 

No sir. They are all in storage. I posted some images when I unbox them when they arrive for inspection...but, otherwise, I put them away. Here's some of them in a recent inventory count I was doing...

 

 

Nice to have the laptop open to the Acurazine page.

 

Too many Altegrises on the Internet.

 

Link to thread? I also collect but don't have anywhere near what you have. Need to get a couple new ones since its been a while since I've bought any.

Yes please.

 

Good article about the Japanese auto industry IMO..

Diecast model thread here...wealth of information in there: https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblin...thread-342631/


And as for the vendor, I use AmiAmi (their selection is only of current stuff and they don't retain too much past released products but the prices are great). You'll notice the pricing for the Zonda Revolucion (Carbon Black/White) which usually goes for $360 on most NA sites...this place has it for 28,000JPY which is ~$280. With shipping, which is around $30-$50 depending on what you pick, you're still ahead.

Here's their AutoArt selection: AmiAmi [Character & Hobby Shop]

 

Why don't you have a display room with all those beauties? Like why stash them?

 

So he can cover himself in peanut butter and dance without being disturbed.

 

 

 

 

I do not have a dedicated display room/area currently. I'll be buying a new house within the next couple of years and in that new home, there will be a furnished basement which will be converted into a mancave/nerdroom where much of my collection will be displayed.


I prefer not to half-@$$ it and try to cram some display shelves in my current home just to display the cars because well, it doesn't go with the current furniture/modern look and would kinda clutter up the place. So, for now, all of it goes into storage.

That's kinda the gist of it.

 

 

outside storage unit? let me know where.

 

Inside my septic tank.

 

 

I am sure you will do it up proper.

I'll come by and take some pictures.

 

You do any #dropthecar or #dropthetoy stunts and you'll be 12 feet deep buried in a snowbank, yeah?

 

Liar. You'd never put all that treasure in a tank full of crap...even for security reasons.

I'd even make the trip to the North Pole to raid that stash.

 

I like snow. The more, the better.

 

Your trip to the sekrit storage facility will be riddled with LEGO bricks. You'll never make it.

 

I like snow bunnies.

 

BTW, Yummy, 76F and sunny here today.

 

that's like, TOO nice.

 

Sounding like us over here, 72F and sunny.

 

Good deal Yum. I was worried you were one of these hoarders that has to have it to have it.

 

No, difference between hoarders and collectors...the latter knows how to hide the clutter.

That's probably it.


Otherwise, not much separates the two, huh? Oh god. *sobs*

 

 

I did too lol.

glad to hear that is not the case.

 

I would like to do violent, painful things to whoever is responsible for early '00 Honda fogs. Today I wiped the salt off the lens and managed to crack both of them.

 

Eeek. Brittle much.

 

I've never had problems... With three different cars.

 

Dang I was looking at those too but they were a fortune.

 

my wife tried to throw out all my car models i've had since i was a kid when we moved into our new house... Had to argue my way into getting them into storage.. The kid can have them in his room when he gets old enough to not chuck them on the floor like his other toys

 

 

Very cool. Wonder how much it'll cost though?

 

Anyone want to surmise how I convince my wife to let me buy a Porsche?

 

Nope...but, if you have a great method, please do tell. Cuz, most of us are dying to know the secret.
