Since I'm basically a kid in a small adult's body (lol) and still love toys, I figure I'd post up anything and everything DSM related that I have. What's a collection if it's locked up for no one to see?

Anybody wanting to add to the thread, feel free to do so the more the merrier!

Pictures will be taken today and will follow shortly!

I know I don't have a pic of it anymore but I used to race 1:10 scale Nitro spec RC cars. Had a 2g wide body. Pretty fun those things, had almost $2g's in the hobby altogether. They're AWD and mine had 3.5hp, could get up to 90km/h in a 2 speed forward and no reverse.

Although mine was ALL BLACK! kind of miss it, but much prefer sitting in one rather than RC'ing one. LOL

Yesterday I placed my order on this guy at amazon (only had 1 in stock)



It's hard to see if it's 420A or 4G63 but it was the best i could find.
I will place it on my desk at work

That's a 420A turbo, I have the same model. I also have the Fast and Furious Eclipse. The red model above is the exact same toy model as the F&F one just with a different color scheme and bigger park bench on the back haha

Have all of these, but they're all in boxes, so figured I'd keep them there and show all the different colors so you know which exist.

ERTL 1/24 Scale
DETAILS

This one came with parts you could switch around


Version without any other parts


Although I changed the wheels on this one.

Revell 1/25 Scale
DETAILS




These came in the yellow Talon-ish look and also in the Fast & Furious Green, both of which you have to build yourself (have both, pictured only one as the other isn't assembled). The right engine though!

Muscle Machine 1/24 Scale Funline Edition
DETAILS

Probably my favorite out of all of them

These are very hard to find and probably the best detailed ones you can get. Not to mention they have the right engine! They came in blue, yellow, bronze and a "you make it yourself kit" in white as show here



Also, it's marked up as a GST but taking a quick glimpse under.....GSX!


Street Tech 1/32 Scale
DETAILS

Had a hoochie so put her in


This one either makes engine noise (top button) and lights up



Or if you open the hatch, plays music and strobes to the beat

Modifiers 1/43 Scale
DETAILS


Marketed as a GSX from 1999, unfortunately, wrong engine!

Came in various other colors, among which:


I'm missing the silver (which is the last other color they came in) because didn't have one out of the box.

Modifiers 1/64 Scale
DETAILS



Racing Champions 1/64 Scale
DETAILS

Also came in blue/turquoise and orange (don't have the orange)


Hot Wheels 1/64 Scale
DETAILS

Only spyder model ever made for the 2g

These came in a bunch of colors including a toy fair one shown here

Muscle Machines 1/64 Scale
DETAILS

Nearly Impossible to find, but most detailed 1/64 model you could ever find with....wait for it....the RIGHT engine!

Of course, I save the best for last, the one, the only, easily sold between 400-500$/model

Mitsubishi 1/16 Scale 1g dealer model
DETAILS

You could only get these when you bought a new 1g when they came out in the States. Only a few lucky owners got to get one of these.

Might have a couple other 1/24 Fast & Furious models, but this took WAY longer than anticipated and I'm hungry .

ENJOY!

Just a last one for Eric

^^SWEET sh!t! $500 bucks!! i sold mine for $50..

Yuppers, in the collector world or even in the DSM-fanatic medium, these sell around there. You gave that buyer one hell of a deal.

Hahaha, that's awesome man thanks

Thought you might like that one

Edit: A tid-bit of notable info on the blue 1/18 model shown in the first couple of posts; it was originally suppose to be the color of the car in Fast & Furious. They changed their mind to the green one at the last minute. Coincidentally, the blue model sells for around 300-400$ because it's scarce to find and because of the reason aforementioned.

Some of my collection, includes the "hard to find" 1:64 model in packaging. I wouldnt have time to take pics of all my 1:18 scale (i have over 100) lol. I kinda feel odd being a 30yr old toy car collector! But i really enjoy it..

You have the white 1/64 eclipse too! It's a great looking beauty. Bah don't worry about it. I get people telling me that too (I'm 27), then they get in the room where all the cars are and they switch from adult to kid and absolutely love being there. Besides, I'm sure when/if I ever get a kid they'll love their dad for having such cool toys Not to mention these rust less than the real one lol

Besides, they bring in more money than storing my cash at the bank and look better than a bank statement, so win-win!

Nice collection Guillaume, I have about the same with Lego...except they are all open save for one Millennium Falcon still MISB.

Something I have been toying around with has been developing a DSM through Lego's "Designed by Me" program. It is a CAD program with all the bricks and you essentially build something in the program and it automatically produces a part list and instructions, then you can order the model from Lego. The neat thing is you can then share that model with people and they can order it as well. Per piece count, it about an extra 15-25% in cost than a mass produced set, totally worth it for model I was able to build. When I get the car back together, I'll make it my summer project designing one that can be bought from Lego. Just need to get the scale right and figure out how much detail to go into.

Very true! im really big into 1:18 diecast, so ive been working on that. Im almost at the point of buying stock in Autoart lol.

is that 1:64 eclipse worth anything? i have the modifiers one in red as well in a box plus the F&F collection. lol

Thanks I loved legos, but switched to Mechano as a kid very early on (and boy do they rust over the years :S). That would be cool to see though. I'm actually in the midst of building my eclipse in 1/18. Basically have to make everything from scratch, but it's getting there. Worthless anywhere else but to me, always wanted MY car in a model.



lol I'd loose a lot if I switched to Autoart...I've been looking at a couple of old Evo's...those prices are HIGH! If your collection is Autoart it must be a doozy, they don't skimp on detail.

The 1/64 usually goes between 20-30$ which isn't bad for such a small car. It's mostly because of it's looks and supply/demand as they are quite scarce, even in the US, but like anything else, you need to find the right buyer. F&F usually sells well with movie fanatics, car guys usually try to buy the most realistic one they can find. Unfortunately for us, most DSM models always had a flaw of some kind (wrong engine/transmission/not stock etc.)

$20-$30? wow thats decent!, not all of my collection is Autoart, i have some Burango, Maisto etc, i basically collect the cars im "interested" in, i wont just grab any one as i just dont have the room! I got big into the SHELBY collection, as well as a few others, i really like the Initial D ones, great detail and i liked the cartoon lol

Since you guy's seem to be collectors are there actually any 1gb talon models or diecast out there?

Nadda, sorry. Only that 1/16 1g I have pictured and a small 1/64 of it (I think it's matchbox but I'm sure Rob could tell you since I don't personally have it). Even 2g never got any talons made in models apart from a small resemblance in the yellow Revell and in one of the 2 types of 1/43 2g eclipse Modifiers sold.

Edit: The 1/64 1g is a targa top from Hotwheels (just re-read the thread where he talked about it)

Terrible old picture.. I have no idea where it is but I'm sure I'll find it again someday!

Thanks. I have been looking forever. I guess it really only got popular after F&F. To bad they used a 2g(sorry 2g guys) but 1gb is still the sexiest.

I always qualified sexiness as curvy, voluptuous and pleasing the the eye which is exactly what I see in the 2g. Even the interior kept that idea of curves. That's just me though, always considered the 1g as wedge-shaped. Only 1g that got my attention was one from Germany with rolled fenders and the beautiful EU spoiler that comes with it.

pics of said German talon or it didnt happen!! (I am trying to search it out as we speak)

Well said man!!!

Although, on the scale model toy side, they never quite got the curve on the hatch-to-body and the nice inward bend of the doors which gives the car that ultimate curvy look. Trying to replicate that in the one I'm presently building.

That my friend is a sexy tail section!!

Not a dsm nor a 4g63 but thought I would share a toy I just found!

Dont worry, i collect Lego's as well. But i usually buy 2 of the same kind.

One for me *ahem* and one for the twins

I usually collect City Lego but looking at StarWars as well.

Is that a model of the roadster concept?!!

^ Me thinks yes:
