There have been a few threads here lately about diecasts and Transformers and such.
This is my collection. No, they're not all 928s, but they are all Porsches. There are about 600+ in plexiglass cases on my home office wall in these photos, hundreds more in boxes in a closet. I think I have right around 1000 total, give or take a handful. I've been collecting them since I was a little kid. Yes, I have really always wanted a Porsche!![burnout](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/burnout.gif)
They're all Hot Wheels / Matchbox size. Some are old, many from the 80s, a few from the 70's and even 60s. When the internet happened, a whole new world opened up, and I have some from Japan, England, Germany, Brazil, etc.
Sorry for the nasty glare. Each of these are in their own little compartments, with mirrored backs no less. I sux as a photographer and couldn't find a good angle. (Nice display cases btw...I buy them here: http://www.888pickkns.com )

Wow>
I just picked up an old Hot wheels tote box filled with 54 Hot wheels sized 928's of varying makes and colors. The guy wanted $3 for them but I felt guilty so I paid him $10 including the case and 2 1/43 scale 928's.
Is there any value to these?

Mine looks like that but ALL 928 related. I think I counted 500 or so 928 cars before I packed them all up to move. That of course doesn't include all of the mint still in package stuff. ...or the 50+ plastic models...rolls of posters...
Geez, now that I think about it, I have more 928 stuff than I can think of. I had a full display case packed with stacks of boxes next to it to the ceiling and also in the garage.
One of these days I will have a room completely dedicated to all the 928 stuff I have collected over the years.
Good for you! Nice to see I'm not the only one obsessed with these things.

zrated those are beautiful!
I have resisted the urge to collect the larger scales. I do have a 1:8 Pocher 911 (993) kit, which has been sitting here teasing me for about 5 years. It's about 21 inches long. Maybe I'll get around to building it this summer.
It is possible to take this whole Porsche toy thing too far tho: http://www.scaleautoworks.com/356fourcam.html
Now I'm jealous! ![bowdown](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/bowdown.gif)
These are some of the 928s...now I just have to remember where they all go. (Yes, I have an obsessive-compulsive diecast condition)

I have built 5 of them mostly the older models. I built these back in the 70's. I have the RR Sedance coupe, Fiat, 2 alfas and a MB 550.
The prices on these models have gotten outrageous although the $75-150 I paid back in the 70's wasn't cheap. They look great in a Lucite box. But at nearly 3000 pieces for some they took a little while to build.

Here's an image I've posted before. I've since added a few more colors to this phone collection but haven't had the time to photograph them.
