That's a very nice collection you have there. That shelf worked out well for it. I really like how you have a model of your truck and blazer too.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

I remember the truck before it was called USA-1 and was blue. Here is a picture:

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Back in the day, Matchbox did a set of monster trucks which included USA-1 and Bigfoot. Both the trucks are on the same casting, even though they were Chevy and Ford. The casting in ambiguous at best - but more Fordlike. I'm still hoping for a true early Chevy version. I found a custom version on the Hot Wheels casting like the Titan above which is pretty good, but not $35 good.



Here is an example of the one I have now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1985-Matchbo...3D201699174833

Thanks, although after my move I haven't gotten them out to display yet. I have a closet and cabinets full of my collection. :/

See above...

Neato!

Re: Good week for my collection
 

The wife got me this one for Christmas. It's an outstanding die cast. Amazing detail.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Very nice! I hope you had a merry Christmas and got to spend time with your kids!

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Oh that is nice... wish I didn't look at it as I'm starting to sell my collection. I listed some smaller scale stuff on the parts board and I'll be listing the larger scale Hwy61 stuff when I get a chance.

Nice collection you have, my kids keep asking to play with mine and I don't have a safe place to display them...

Re: Good week for my collection
 

I had some Christmas money to spend so I bought myself some presents. Found a site that had some things I didn't already have.

This one I really like. My first bike was an 81 Kawasaki 750 LTD. Had it back when I was in the navy. A couple years ago I came across a good deal on an 82 750 LTD. This model is the earlier version, but close enough for me. Love these bikes.

Here's mine...

Had the seat recovered.

Painted the frame silver, and the wheels. New exhaust, foot pegs, mirror, chain/sprockets, etc.

Drilled some holes in the chain guard.

I still need to paint the tank and side covers, new rear shocks, fix a wiring problem with the tail light and install the new blinkers for the rear and I think it needs a valve adjustment. Fun bike though.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Two more delivered today...

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Very nice additions to your collection. I've acquired most of those but could never find the Greenlight Black Bandit or the Supernatural set.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

I got them here...

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Thanks hgs_notes. I will check it out.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Cool stuff! Congatulation! I also gonna look and see what they have for me.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

I had to miss the first farm toy show of the year last weekend. I have the better one coming up. I'm jonesin' for something new. It will probably be a Greenlight, unless it's something older. I'd like to find a 1/25 scale '67 Chevy panel or pickup from Liberty Classics (I think?).

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Got a few more toys.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

I haven't added a lot lately. I came across this new bright remote control 69 blazer. It's 1/24 scale and the body is pretty good. I've already pulled off the stickers.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Very cool! Will you be painting it to match your Blazer? :lol:

Re: Good week for my collection
 

From Christmas this year...

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Nice blazer, those are getting hard to find. it doesn't matter which series....affordably for me anyway.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

I like the detail on the greenlight and johnny lightning 1/64th, I don't have the room for bigger diecast. most of my stuff is hot wheels and some jada.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

I added a Matchbox square body I liked, and Johnny Lightning Blazers and a Greenlight 50th Anniversary pickup I had to have :smoke:

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Got this as part of my birthday... :metal: Also getting new windshield for my
'67 step side. That's what my Wife and her Mother got me for my '72 K5 last year. :metal::metal:

Re: Good week for my collection
 

A few more.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Wasn't this week but I added these recently .

Re: Good week for my collection
 

The wife let me put some Halloween hot wheels in her decorations in the living/dining room. So I guess it was a good week for ...part... of my collection.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

I need to start looking for that blue JL Blazer

Re: Good week for my collection
 

This is the one I'm looking for:

Re: Good week for my collection
 

3757chevy you hijacked my thread. It’s ok because it’s all about sharing our stuff. I haven’t been adding a whole lot to my collection lately but always looking and I usually get something for Christmas. This year I got the monster trucks!

Re: Good week for my collection
 

And this week I was traveling in Iowa and stayed over in Story City. Right off the exit was a big antique mall and I had some time to kill so I went through and found a few new things. The Maui fest one seems to be somewhat rare.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

haha. Sorry I didn't realize I was filling the page. I haven't gotten anything worth posting lately.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

This was the only 100 year anniversary trucks I found.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Those last three Greenlights are nice.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Of coarse! I could show you my yardstick I found when cleaning up my shed. I have a few yardsticks with ads on them and forgot I had this one. Displayed here with some customized '67s and one '69 stepper

Re: Good week for my collection
 

tip upright;)

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Christmas time usually means I got a few things for the collection.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Nice haul.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

Cool! I haven't seen the campers on the shelves. Neat find.

Re: Good week for my collection
 

I picked up this one, but because I like vans:
