Default Anyone collect Diecast cars?

COSTCO has the Maitso brand of 1:18 scale die cast cars selling for $15.49 each.

Unfortunately the only Porsches I saw were:
+ 996.2 Arena Red Targa
+ 996.2 Arctic Silver C4S
+ 996.2 Guards Red C4S
+ 997.1 Speed Yellow Cab
+ 981.1 Arctic Silver Cayman

They also had some M5s, new Viper and Lambos... This is what I picked up:

LOL not too shabby for $10!! The chocolate wasn't bad either! I picked up a red one.. I've got a few others on my shelf:
1:24 911 Speester (red)
1:24 986 Boxster (red)
1:24 996 GT3 (red)
1:18 996 TT Cab (yellow)
1:18 993 (red)
1:18 997.2 (red)

And a cushy red 991 pillow my Pfaff sales guy gave my daughter when I bought the car

Thanks for the comments. All of these are actually divided into two ikea "Billy" cases. I have 7 full cases on display with the others committed to Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes and other European lines. The one that you commented on is actually a high end resin model from a company called GT Spirit. They have some amazing Porsche models. www.gts-models.com/en

there is no way time can possibly be going that fast ...
