RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
I am glad to see I am not the only grownup to do crazy collections like that. Mine is just not that large since I do not have a dedicated room.
I do however also have a small Spiderman collection including the original cartoons from the 60's on DVD. |
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Nice, but not impressed.:D I didn't see the Lucky Charms STP Richard Petty ones. See Below a 74 Dodoge Charger and a 71 Plymouth GTX. The other is a 84 Pontiac Grand Prix, and next to that is a Mopar Drag Neon. In the back is a RC car with a Ram body and viper body.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g1...uckyCharms.jpg And other part of a very small collection. Finally found a S197 mustang, and in my color. http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g1...oyMustSide.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g1...yMustFront.jpg 1971 Chevelle SS454 http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g1...oyChevelle.jpg YZ426 Tim Ferry's bike and a Honda SWAT XR500 bike. In the background you will see a Gretzky 259/950 ceramic plate and card and a Brett Hull Plaque with card http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g1...s/ToyBikes.jpg |
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
when i was much younger, i also collected baseball, football, and hockey cards...and they are still kept at my parents house..., sealed in boxes...once in college, i had a fairly elaborate collection of beer bottles from all over the world, which takes up most of my parents attic...we would like to have a bigger room for the dodge stuff, as we have lots of stuff that isnt displayed. i could fill a whole other room of this side with things like shirts, pamphlets, brochures, etc...we also have some cars that are not displayed.
i typically go into the room about once a week and clean things up, and about once a month, ill take the time to dust things. we buy a piece or two a week, usually smaller things. what i have found is that the toys that cost a ton now will obviously increase in value, but way down the road, the items that are small and cheap now grow the most in value. if you look at the more valuable toys now, they are things that people back in the 60s and 70s bought for their children to play with, so many of them were ruined while being played with...for instance, one of those miradas on the card can go as high as 40-50 bucks, and it would have cost about 49 cents back then...but since it wasnt a commonly collected item then, there are very few in great shape on the card. so, when we buy things weekly, we buy more of unusual, yet inexpensive items, because those are the things getting scuffed up during play...cars like our green pro-street danbury mint charger obviously doesnt get played with, so in 20 years, probably 90% of them will still be mint, however, how many of a random 2006 viper will still be mint on card? no where near 90%...however, i am tempted to take one of my 1/64 2007 challenger hot wheels out and play with it...:D brian, i dont think that i knew that you were into hockey.... those lucky charms cars are part of a set of 4, i believe...at least three...as i do have them...the two that you have, and there is a 1964 belvedere...i think that there was one more that isnt a dodge...but im not certain. i got them on ebay last year around this time. what make is that chevelle? is that mustang 1/24 scale? if so, i believe that i have the roadrunner and challenger version of the same brand... |
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
brian, i dont think that i knew that you were into hockey.... those lucky charms cars are part of a set of 4, i believe...at least three...as i do have them...the two that you have, and there is a 1964 belvedere...i think that there was one more that isnt a dodge...but im not certain. i got them on ebay last year around this time. what make is that chevelle? is that mustang 1/24 scale? if so, i believe that i have the roadrunner and challenger version of the same brand... You know the lucky charms was 4. And I know I had all 4. S.O.B. I need to comb the house to find that 4th one, and now that you mention it, I believe it was a Belvedere. And yes, the mustang is 1/24. I was walking through Kragen Autoparts to get some oil supplies, and saw it sitting there. It was an impulse buy since I wasn't looking for it. EDIT: teh Chevelle is Maisto. And I also played roller hockey in a league for a couple years, before that we always played i parking lots |
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
so that set was 4 cars? we only hve three...unless i lost track of one somehow...
im guessing that youre from the NE then? as a pittsburgher in 91-92, i was a HUGE pens fan...i finally got a coaching job up here... |
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Nope, I am originally from SoCal. I lived in VA around DC for about 3 years, but in the late 90's. For some reason I have never liked L.A. teams of any sport. Mostly the Missouri teams. Dad's from there. Cards, Cheifs, and do like the Blues.
Well, when I had put them up on the shelf a while back, I kept thinking there were for, and I couldn't find the other one. So I chalked it off as maybe I was just thinking crazy, but after you said 4 and the one was a belveder, then I feel there was 4 and I am not crazy. I will take a pic later of a hotwheels Challenger Drag car I have out in teh garage I have had since I was a kid. I would go now, but the garage is towards teh back yard, I am to lazy now to go outside and get it. What are you coaching? Kids? adults? |
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
ORIGINAL: TechmanBD Mostly the Missouri teams. Dad's from there. Cards, Cheifs, and do like the Blues. Thanks for sharing that Patrick. One of these days when I don't have to move in and out of dorms and I live in a house that actually has some room in it, I'll have to start my own collection. |
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
VERY COOL COLLECTION!
But with all that you could have bought 2 Challengers :) |
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
[sm=hail.gif] I thought I had a problem, my collection doesn't even compare.
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Lock the doors Mirada, there is a Meca trip heading your way. Wow, I mean wow. That is one awsome collection or should I say coooolection. Nice really nice.
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
ORIGINAL: ManGO VERY COOL COLLECTION! But with all that you could have bought 2 Challengers :) you would be surprised how little we have spent...we really hunt around a great deal before buying. the only things that we dont check around for pricing would be cars from companies like danbury, as there isnt any haggling over those prices. some of the more unusual pieces are actually things that are small, and very cheap, but those end up being the items years down the road that were cheap back when they were new, so kids played them into the ground...so they prove to be valuable because so few are left in good shape. |
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Wow, I'm very impressed and it makes me feel good to know someone has it much worse then I do.:D

RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Awesome collection, Mirada. I am opening up my collection (in Lincoln Park, MI) on Friday June 29,2007. Part of a Thunderbird forum weeklong event I am hosting.
You and other Mopar guys and gals are welcome to attend all or part of my event, or just come out Friday for leisurely evening and see my collection. Friday night is evening before Cruisin' downriver on Fort street. My building is nearby, and I've reserved Fort Strret Brewery for the evening. Steve Legel slegel@twmi.rr.com |

RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
for those of you who havent seen them yet, we found a Jada Toys 1/64 Challenger in a few colors, as well as a Jada 1/24 rendition of the Challenger SS...available also in several colors.
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Any pics and where did you find them at??
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
I think I have seen them at Walmart. They are real small but seem to be of good quality and packing is nice....about 3 match box sizes tall.

RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Added to my collection today via E-Bay:
1970 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T-MINT IN BOX - ERTL- (C) 1997 [IMG]local://upfiles/9/45E0CC4E12174E4DA8218A36F57E2FF9.jpg[/IMG] |
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Got the latest addition to my collection today. It's beautiful
[IMG]local://upfiles/9/BE57267952DD446AB00579907F903203.jpg[/IMG] |
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Very nice. Hood pin, dual scoop, and racing cap. That would be a good configuration for the new Challenger.
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Yes sir!!!
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
ive not seen the SS cars anywhere except for at a toy stand at a sort of flea market. the jada cars came from walmart, and there is also a new maisto version of the challenger, all blinged out, it retails for around 25 bucks. i did not buy one because the only one that they had was damaged in the package. also, on our last trip, we found that the company who made that old and new challenger remote control set has a new "challenger concept" RC car out. it was 48 bucks, and it wasnt very nice, so we didnt get it either.
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Another addition to my collection. A 71 Hemi Challenger R/T.

RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Got my white 440 6 Pack - 1970 Challenger R/T from SuperCar today. It is a 1:18 scale Highyway 61 Diecast Metal car and has great paint and details.
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
I actually got my last year. I posted it under Challenger Merchandise back in February but nobody every asked where I got it.
I think it is really cool myself and is one of my favorite collectibles. It is actually in front of a red Ford GT which is also a metal image but I bought that one in a store.

RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Cool. I see you have all your cars still in the box. I got a display case for mine with a mirrored back and it really looks cool. The boxes are safe in the closet.:D
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Thanks, I just do not have time to set something like that up. So when I buy something I just stack them up. Eventually they will hit the ceililng. LOL!
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
You should see my closet shelf:D.
Makes the wife crazy!! |
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Yes, mine has made some comments too.....but she did get me a Challenger diecast for my birthday. That was nice.
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
i found a nice challenger concept lapel pin this past weekend at a car show...
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
While out riding on Sunday, we stopped by a gas station and they had a Challenger that looked just like the one up on top in the main title bar. I thought about getting it, but had nowhere to put it to get it home.
Once we get a new home, I will have my own office room and I will put up shelving to put up my toys. Also I have been thinking, if the room is big enough, start a new hobby. I would like to get into the train hobby. Build my own town. Get a train set. All the cars, buildings and people. I have to go to my mom's storage, she kept alot of our child hood toys and see if my train set is still there. I can't remember if I destroyed it or not. :D |
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
we are pretty much at our max capacity now in the dodge room. every wall is completely tiled with cars on cards, and the shelves are full...adding even one more car now is difficult. we have begun 'retiring' things to make room for things that are newer/more interesting.
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Well I've filled up one 12 car display case and have a second on order. I also have cars at various spots around my office like the book case and my desk. Also the walls are filling up nicely as well. ;)
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
where did you get that case, if i may?
|
RE: Dodge Collection 56k beware
Yes you may.
