Remember when Revell made NASCAR Diecast? I have the 2001 Michael Waltrip Daytona 500 win and Kerry Earnhardt arca win in 1/24. Probably have a few others. Didn't they make test cars that came with stop watches? |

I don't collect much NASCAR diecast these days, but man, I'm pretty sure I need the Dogecoin cars, they're just too silly to ignore.

It's still reasonable right now, hopefully it'll stay that way for a few weeks, 'cuz I'm a paycheck away from paying my car off with very little breathing room. I've also got my eye on the Dale Jarrett/Kenny Irwin Batman vs. Joker cars from '98, I got some promo stuff from that time 'cuz my dad worked at a Ford dealership, but I never got around to getting diecasts of them. They've been going for pretty cheap lately, so I figured why not.  |

I just saw Dale Jr's Baja Blast scheme on Facebook tonight for the All Star race. I don't collect diecast cars as much as I used to when I was younger, I just watch the races. But, that scheme is too beautiful to ignore. I might buy the diecast. Can anyone explain to me why a 1:24 diecast is $69 on Nascar's website, though? Since I've been out of the Nascar hobby, for an 8 inch car, I think that's a bit much.

Is eBay the best option, or is that the normal price range for a 24? |

I read a great post on diecast crazy forum about why the nascar diecast industry is in the state it's in. It provided insight in to the distribution and sales issues. Great read. I knew the over production of diecast in the early 2000's killed the value, but I didn't realize how they were distributed to dealers would affect the product like it does.
