The Little Kid in us all.
 

OKay, I saw a matchbox 370Z at the store just the other day and bought it. It has no useful purpose other than to make me smile and give my kids something to play with. How many of you have bought models of your cars?

i'm thinking about picking up a 1/24 maisto

OP: You are lucky and found what you were looking for. I am looking for a 370Z 1:32 slot car. I've got the 350Z as the closest car. I have a couple of XKE's already.

I always buy toys/models/diecasts of my cars... or any other car I like for that matter. :icon17:

Every time I'm near a section of toy cars in a store I go looking for Z stuff.

Lol... I have 3. Red blue and yellow. :)

28 ..... and still counting.

I found a new 370z hot wheels when volunteering for the Santa Claus Shop (giving christmas gifts to kids/families who are less fortunate).
At first I wanted to keep it, but then I thought it'd be better for a kid to get it for christmas.
prefer the big/real version anyway...

I'm holding out for a 1:18 to match up with my other models...

but I might be a 1:24 die cast and also saw a mini 370Z christmas ornament for the tree, might get that too lol

I have a matchbox and this rc car (penny racer size) :p

Have over 2000+ Z's ranging from smaller than a micro machine to as large as 1:10 scale.

Also have about 500 other various cars that I like. Skyline's new and old, STI's, etc.

I got some blue matchbox ones as I found they were hard to find.

also got a blue maisto 1:24 die cast but it was on the small side compared to my 300ZX 1:24!

:tup:

I have 3, just wished they'd make a nismo one.

Where does the line blur between passion and obsession?

It was definitely passion that turned into obsession. However now it's more back to passion. Originally I started off collection Z31's, then 300zx's in general, then pretty much all things Z. Went a little nuts and next thing I knew I had a huge collection. Then 5 years ago I went to med school and pretty much put my collection on hold. Since graduation I've resumed collecting but only to get my hands on a few 370z's. Now that I have my house and a room dedicated to my collection I just need to find the time to actually unpack and display them. Not sure I'll go back down the path of obsession again but I'm definitely not going to get rid of what I have either.

where did you get that RC car?
is that by Tomy Takara?

my wife got it for me while visiting Japan.... yodobashi camera or some store she went to. the nissan catalogs my pops-in-law picked it up at an actual nissan dealer in Japan.

Edited in Final Cut X, in, something like 10 minutes.

I asked for a life sized Z toy, complete with working engine and touring package. Sadly, Santa did not comply!

Seriously, I am either given a toy version of my cars or I pick on up. I have a 370Z, RX-* and MINI Cooper, all in various sizes displayed in my office.
