My NASCAR 1/24 Scale Diecast Collection

    Here is my collection of 1/24 scale Nascar diecasts. As you will see Martin Truex Jr is my favourite driver so I mostly collect his cars, however, I have a couple of others as well. I buy most of my diecasts off eBay and the rest I preorder directly from Lionel Racing.

    Thanks T-Maxx, yeah there's VERY little following over here of NASCAR. Yet, over in the UK there is a big following. They have the American Speedfest at Brands Hatch every year with loads of American Nascar cars and muscle cars etc. I still haven't really come across any fellow Irish fans, nevermind any that collect diecasts. It's an expensive hobby if you let it

    Hats off, it's an impressive collection. Ballpark, what does one of these cars cost you? And do you source them from the States or...?

    Thank you. Yes they range differently as some of mine were brand new, some were second hand from eBay or bought off sellers through forums. On average, a diecast can cost (if your lucky) the range of €10 - €40 for older ones, and around €60 for a brand new or pre-order. This is excluding shipping and import customs fees by the way. Majority of mine come from the states. I pay €50 - €100 per diecast depends on what it comes to with shipping/import fees. Elites I pay a good bit more.

    You have the platinum series circa €60 Then you have the ELITE series circa €85, which costs a bit more as they have a lower production number, a higher detailed engine, they have/had hood/trunk tethers, roof tethers, painted interior cockpit etc. just a few more added details and the lower production number also gives it its valued more. Rather than say 1,200 of a diecast being made an ELITE will a limited run of maybe 90 - 300!. depending on how many preorder that diecast.

    I got a particular ELITE that cost me around €180 all in including postage/import fees and It's now a rare and hard to find diecast. I believe they go for $400 or in that range now as they are so rare. (see my third post, the coca cola 600 orange/camo car).
    But I don't collect to resell. Sorry for the long post.

    I have a very small collection of these. I'll try pop up a picture later.

    And yes indeed collecting models is a very expensive hobby, try some of the 1:18 F1 cars, need a small mortgage for some of them.

    Bidding on one at the minute, model is nearly 10 years old and never been out of the box.

    I'm nearly hoping I don't win it at this stage

    Here is my Kyle Busch models from his championship winning season.

    I took the top off the case as it has a reflective back and was messing up the picture. Case is probably the best thing as it has his name and year of the championship on it aswell.

    They are really nice pieces. Loving the arcylic risers. Those cases arent cheap, thanks for showing them. Are you a casual fan or used to watch?

    I'm not watching as much as I used to but I'll always try and watch it.

    The case is the real deal, was the price of 2 of the cars but its worth it.
