Matchbox John Deere Lanz 700 Tractor and Tipping Trailer.

Trailer came from Ripster here, the Deere was a trade with a member on another forum who needed a MBX Pontiac I had for parts.

Great shots everybody!

Saw this 72 Stingray in a store the other day & just couldn't pass on it.

[Just Plain Dave]

I have never seen that one.

Some ''early '' diecast.

A few more I dug up from the vault. Had these when I was a kid.

Try though I might i haven't found that Corvette or that awesome old car.

This photo is a few years old, but it shows one of my all-time favorite vehicles replicated in die-cast.

I had the pleasure of seeing a B-17 fly into Fresno Yosemite Airport back in 2010. Though turbine engines may be objectively better in many senses, you can't beat the sound of those four radials. Sweet little model!

Some Ed ''Big Daddy'' Roth stuff.

A few more.

You know, they really shouldn't place these "Magical" Hot Wheels at the end of the cash registers by the check out in every super market in town. My wife was forced to buy two new addions to my collection in just one week's time. I call them "Magical" because they just "Magically" end up in our shopping cart & like nobody even knows how they got in there right?

69 Ford Mustang BOSS 302 & a 69 Dodge Charger 500

A few more.

I like those skate boards!

[knife7knut]

A few, '' Machines of Maranello ''. 1/64th; 1/43rd; 1/25th. & 1/18th.

Compared to me (previously), you did well. You managed to bring home just two--not ten-twelve as I often did (and now try to avoid--poor Matchbox restocking and me trying to avoid Walmart has really helped).

I thought I had that Mustang, but it turned out to be a Camaro. My notes (aka the date stamp on the photo) say I got it in March of this year, and I'm pretty sure it was a recent release at that time. The Falken Tires drift livery seems to be one HW has used heavily since new.

Curious--is that last Ferrari a disguised phone?

Good eye Cody!

Here is another Ferrari; not a diecast but a collaboration(one of several) with Ferrari and LEGO. Made of special LEGO pieces, it features working steering & differential and a 12 cylinder engine with a transparent block to show the revolving crankshaft & moving pistons.

Good that you mentioned the Camaro. I'll have to keep an eye out for that one. Would be cool to have the set.

Cool! Those should be very collectable in my opinion.
