So, how long have you been splurging on diecast metal beauties?
i've been collecting from my initial years, ofcourse by that time my dad gifted them to me.
Almost 28 years for me. Though initially I used to not collect but only play with them. Started into 1:18 in 1997 or so.
For die-cast - more than 30 years.
For 1/18, started 2-3 years back.
I've been collecting diecast model cars for several years and have been looking off and on for a diecast model of a C&V bicycle.
I had been very keen on buying diecast cars and bikes since my school days. But started collecting them from August 2006.
I have been a HARDCORE automobile brochure collector from the past 12 years, got in scale model collecting recently.
I've got into this extreme addiction from d past 2 months only...but feels gr8 when i think that after a couple of years how many DieCasts will i'll b owning..... But i was a great fan of cars since my childhood... Truly "Love Cars Live Cars"....
I've been collecting 1/18s since July 28 2010! ZOMFG!!! 31 cars in 4 months!!! I've been collecting diecasts of small scales since 2003. (1997-8 actually, but those were my toys, only 1 is still intact)
