Not in perfect shape, but how often do you find French-made 4WD Toyota wagons?

I like that even the scale toy cars rust, so authentic .

I’ve been looking for one of these for years! Very cool!

I have a mint one, that for unknown reasons is towing a tiny elephant. If this was real, I could make a bazillion dollars on Bring a Trailer.

Ah the Majorette, nice casting.

I have a few of the Tomica version:

As it should :)

I still have most of what I bought from that haul. I have a terrible mental block on selling diecasts. There are plenty that I’m willing to part with, but they’re such a PITA to list and pack and ship. I think I’ll go old school and do a table at a toy show once covid finally goes away.

Imagine having to deal with a few carloads of stuff.  That was an experience and a half.

I haven’t bought anything in some time, everything in the past year or so has been to flip (mostly redlines). I might be to the point where I have “enough”.

I bet it was! I’m sure I could offload some things more easily if LaLD still was the way it used to be, but you dealt with some serious volume on that haul.

I think I’m at the “enough” place.  Or beyond even.  90% of the things I’ve found that I wanted to buy in the last year, I ended up putting right back on the shelves.  I have so much more than I could ever display.

Yeah, and too bad about LaLD, I suppose technically one could still sell there, but traffic has to be way down. That haul I dispersed was like having a second job for a few months, at far less than minimum wage lol.

I display very little of my hoard, and most of my realistic wants I already have - a lot of stuff I want now is just too expensive, and I have other hobbies and expenses. Unless I find a lucky deal somewhere, the collection right now might be it. Thanks to all of the ‘rona created free time, I took an inventory of the collection, and I have over 200  boxed Matchbox and the same amount of boxed Tomica, and scores of loose cars - it’s enough
