See, your just braggin' :lol:

It's only cool if you bust it out of the original package and Tokyo drift around your cereal bowl. Otherwise you are Comic Book Guy.

    Unfortunately no, as a kid I threw all my toys away in silent protest after my Mom threw ALL my original Star Wars cards away.

    In retrospect it wasn't a fruitful endeavor. 8)

    Haha that's wicked man! You must be an avid collector if you have one of the cars from a franchise you don't even like lol.

    The Supra from the first film, the Skyline from the second film and Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel)'s '70 Charger = my dream garage.

    If iam lucky enough to find ones iam after I basically tear the shelf apart looking for another one or two so I can atleast keep one lot in packets and the duplicates my kids open and play with. Depends though, if there is quite a huge demand for that particular one on eBay or something, ill keep it to sell on eBay. Like the ve Holden ss ute, matchbox made it a few years ago and it was a mission to find, let alone the other liveries it came out in. But I was lucky to find them all three times over, so I sold a few to a collector I know at work and a few on eBay. Good score considering the car was brought for $2.50 and I was getting between $12-$40 each depending on which livery was available. The v8 supercar replica liveries are well sought after.

    All my hot wheels n Matchboxes were used n abused lol. Thought it allowance well spent. Now my younger daughter plays with them.

    In storage I've got several original Matchboxes still in box that were my dads. The ones made by Lesney. #2,3 and 6 if memory serves. My brother has the first and fourth as well as first service station.

    I remember saving up Weeks to get Jetfire before it seemed to disappear. That one never got beat up. Most of the rest my little one has as well as my old Legos. I had a Metroplex (autobot city) kept in box in the foam. Only thing I messed up was cutting out the "spec card" on the back. Sold it for $150 years ago.

    Not necessarily, I was watching an American pawn show and this guy had a whole bedroom full of them, the pawnshop owner didnt know how much the collection was worth so he called in a professional. The professional said the entire collection was worth $20,000 and he had them all out of the box. If the figure and box is still in immaculate condition, apparently it doesn't matter, this guy said a mint original Optimus prime box, just the box was worth $500
