Die Cast
I have been collecting Die Cast (mostly Corvette's) now for about three years. I just added two more today to my small collection. Here are a few shots.

Very nice!
I'm in the process of setting up my home office, so I'll be putting out several of my Franklin Mint Vettes for display. I'll post pics here of my collection! Great thread |

Very cool. They almost look real with the backdrop.
I tried to find one to match my C5 but it was too much work so I gave up.

I searched for months to find a Mag Red Vert with Oak interior that matches my car, and when I finally found one, it was a friggen bidding war on Ebay...finally would up paying $90.00 for it.

Sadly, outside of the $100+ each Exoto Grand Sports, nobody has made a C2 die-cast worth a damn...

Those are pretty . I bought a C5 LeMans blue vert on eBay a few years ago and the dude sent me a LeMans Blue C6... Never did get my money back from that, just left neg feedback and cut my losses...

I could only hope to have one real much less both colors. I was up at the NCM on Sept. 9th, and there was a yellow one waiting in the museum pickup area. I ordered these from the museum store. I freaked my wife out when I informed her I just placed an order for the C6 GT1 editions. Her first comment was you better have a god attorney, and then what is wrong with the one in the garage. You would thing she would learn, as I did the same thing a few years ago when I ordered the Ron Fellows Z06 edition.
