So my 100 car lot came today, and other than the glaring f*****g omissions from the lot's eBay picture (Truex Bass Pro, Golden Oreo, Hornish Mobil (even though I have one already), Danica COY) it was really cool. Most of the were in played with condition but still, there were some gems. I've got the guy saved in case he puts up another lot so I can complete the sets. This is a group pic of what came. The "rare" ones are on the bottom. I did still get most of the really rare 2004 Truex 6 car set. and his 2005 Cup car, which is hard to find Some Gen 5s (nobody special) Some Winged COTs (nobody special, except for the Ragan) The lone Gen 6 car, and surprisingly it's a Menard, who has been harder to find when it comes to Gen 6s. Talladega Nights cars, I only needed the Jean Girard. Kinda wished there was a Cal or Ricky Wonder. The two Gen 4 Toyotas. Always happy to get another Blaney. There are more cool ones, but I'm too lazy to upload them. Overall, this was a great lot. I'm really glad I got what I did. I just wish that the guy would've put them all in there. I regret passing on those Talladega Nights cars when I saw them at retail. That Truex KFC car is pretty rare Yeah I do too. My brother picked up a Wonder car though when they were at Walmart. So I really just need a Cal Naughton Jr to complete the set.

My two other lots came today. Here are both of them together. I now have two Reutimann BK COTs, I need to find the Dominos one. I also have two Andretti Window World promos. 2 of the 2007 Paul Menard 1:64s. and the 1:24 of the lot, which looks awesome with chrome wheels. So yeah. It's good, not as good as the 100 car lot but still great deals on some rare ones.

So I've after receiving those three lots, I pretty much have every 1:64 I've ever wanted, only missing a few random ones, like Tony Stewart's #92 McDonald's Chevy, but I have owned that one before- I think my brother has it. And now I'm bored, so here are my Top 10 all time favorite 1:64s with a few honorable mentions. Honorable Mentions2004 Kasey Kahne Mopar Dodge (Winners Circle)This one looks awesomely done, especially with the barbed wire. Bought this one at Shopko in 2004. 2001 Larry Foyt Harrah's Chevrolet (Hot Wheels)I was unaware they made a Larry Foyt 1:64 until I saw the hauler one day in a Walmart while out shopping with my stepmom at the time. Didn't find the 1:64 until I went to my pawn shop one day and it was for sale for 50 cents. Since they did not make his 2003 rookie Cup car, this is your only option for a Larry Foyt 1:64. Don't know why it has short track grilles, not to mention the Hot Wheels Chevy mold looked terrible. 2005 Jeremy Mayfield Mountain Dew Pitch Black II Dodge (Winners Circle)For whatever reason, this 1:64 was shortpacked by Winners Circle. There was one that came out in a Mayfield ACTION 6 pack later, but the single retail releases were harder to find. The paint scheme is so epic and awesome too. 2002 Mike Stefanik Burnham Boilers Chevrolet (Racing Champions)Still available for purchase through Mike's eBay for $10, this Busch North diecast is one of the very few NASCAR diecasts to actually have a sponsor decal on the rear windows. 2002 Mike Wallace Autoliv Chevrolet (Racing Champions)Racing Champions had a tendency to make at least one car from every contract they had, and that was prevalent with the obscure 2002 Mike Wallace Autoliv release. It had no sponsors besides the Autoliv hood sponsor. Autoliv was only on the car for the 500, after that it was a blank 33 car, as shown in the 2002 video game "NASCAR Dirt to Daytona" Now for the Top 10: 10. 2009 Max Papis Geico Toyota (Checkered Flag Sports)Germain's first ever NASCAR diecast was a promo exclusive for Geico. It's one of those diecasts you didn't think anybody would produce. 9. 2008 Ricky Carmichael Monster Energy Chevrolet (Checkered Flag Sports)Probably one of the most produced diecasts CFS did, Ricky Carmichael's Camping World East diecast was made into a 1:24 and 1:64. He also had an Oakley truck 1:24 made by ACTION, but this was his lone 1:64 release. 8. 2007 Ken Schrader Little Debbie Ford (ACTION)Only released through a mail away 3 pack through Little Debbie, this was released on a generic stock body. Just a great looking car. The next Wood Brothers diecast would be the 2008 Jon Wood Air Force 1:64s, which were made by CFS in both COY and COT form. 7. 2006 Bill Lester Waste Management Dodge (Team Caliber)This one means alot to me because I loved Bill Lester when he was racing, as did my brother. My brother bought this and gave it to me a few years ago. It's a shame all Team Caliber Dodge's looked like Superspeedway cars. 6. 2009 David Gilliland Farm Bureau Toyota (ACTION)Released as a promo through Farm Bureau Insurance, this 1:64 is really hard to find and extremely cool, especially since Logano's 02 wasn't released as a 1:64. I remember wanting this for so long. 5. 2004 Kevin Harvick Icebreakers Liquid Ice Chevrolet (ACTION)This car was released in two forms of 1:64; single released rubber tire and through the Harvick 6 pack. This was a sought after car for me until I bought it from the Charlotte race in 2005. 4. 2004 Joe Nemechek Time Person Of The Year/US Army Chevrolet (Winners Circle)I remember me buying this car from Target and just looking at it. Just a great car. 3. 2002 Stacy Compton Conseco Pontiac (Racing Champions)I bought this from Target in 2002, I remember it being one of the first diecasts I bought with my own money, along with a Brett Bodine Hooters, which I sold about two years ago. Never played with this one, it's so high because of memories. 2. 2007 Ward Burton Air Force/State Chevrolet (ACTION)This was released in 1:24, 1:64 and 1:87th scales. It was the first Morgan-McClure diecast released since 2003. They did release the regular State Water Heaters scheme in 1:24 and 1:64, but it was with CFS. Ward DNQ'd in this car, as did Jon Wood, I believe. 1. 2003 Steve Park Maxwell House Chevrolet (ACTION)This is #1 because it pops with the gold. Just a smooth scheme and always been one of my favorites. Hope you enjoyed and I hope to do a Best of 2014 in December.

I wish I'd bought the 21 Air Force car at Keesler AFB's BX. It was sky blue, which bothered me, but it was literally the only AF car I'd ever seen in stores (if you consider a BX a "store"). It's kind of sad knowing there'll never be another armed forces car on the grid, 'cuz they usually had the most kickass paint schemes (though Biffle's National Guard ride was kind of meh).

Bought some IndyCar diecasts from their new manufacturer, AutoWorld, the other day. Two 1:64s came out to $21 shipped! Not the best deal because it was $7 for shipping but they put in a poster, a sticker and had everything well wrapped so props to them on that. Really not sure whether or not I'm gonna take them out of the package. The cars themselves are better than Lionels, mainly because they're not as mass produced.

I picked up Will Power's car a few months ago when I was at Penske in NC. Wanted to get Juan but they didn't have him.

I had no idea Autoworld was doing formula 1 cars.
Im very tempted to get the Nascar cars. If I were to find a major sponser car like McDonalds, BugerKing, Pepsi, Coke, I would jump into collecting those.
Also I watch on television and would love to see a toy car made of the LOVE's car.

AutoWorld does IndyCar, not F1. The F1 ones are done by a manufacturer In Europe and cost about $120 for a 1:12 scale. There have been two Loves cars made, one last year and one this year, in both 1:64 and 1:24 scale.

I've never seen a package like that though, im only familiar with the ones I see at Target/Walmart/TRU which come in a package like a hotwheels and cost about 5 dollars. Where do you get cars like that?

You have to order them online or go to races/race shops. They are also a higher quality and are more expensive. Here's one good site I highly recommend: diecastcarsnow.com/

Where do you get cars like that? Usually eBay, Plan B Sales or Diecast Cars Now. The Lionel (ACTION) 1:64 diecasts are a little more than Spinmasters, being $6.99, and the new 1:24s range from $49.99 (regular release of last season) to $120.00 (special finishes), but you get a greater range of drivers to choose from.

Ive got a mom & pops type store in my mall that sells Lionel racing cars...They've got quite a bit from last year and this year still in stock and very reasonable prices (usually less then $10). If anyone is looking for anything certain thats not on sites, lemme know.
