Why I Don’t Collect Diecasts
Posted by in GeneralAnd the Old Spice Paint Scheme:
And a 14 with the Burger King paint scheme (Tony will be sponsored by Burger King for two races):
Yeah…and Daytona hasn’t even happened yet. This is the exact reason WHY I do not collect diecasts. Already there are 4 different paint schemes and countless others in the work. These high quality ones can run anywhere from 69.99 to 89.99 a piece and that my friends is an obsession I just can NOT afford- bad economy or good.
I decided against one of the big dough diecasts only because I couldn’t decide. Part of me wants one of the traditional paint schemes while another part of me screams very loudly that the Smoke Paint Sheme is REALLY COOL while a third part of me thinks that since the Burger King paint scheme is only going to be used for two races that would be the one to get. Too many choices makes my head spin around and start to smoke (no pun intended) so to simplify it for myself I said “Self you really can’t justify that much on a toy car that will just sit on a shelf.” My “self” is no fun and won’t let me collect diecasts.

I go for the diecasts from Walmart. LOL I have the Office Depot and Old Spice 1:87 diecasts.
However, if Winners Circle doesn’t come out with the Smoke car or BK car, I won’t be getting those, as I can’t afford to get them if they’re not the cheap ones.
I’m not a big collector. I have the Office Depot and Old Spice one along with a Smoke line Christmas car. But Postman had those on order for several months and we used part of the income tax refund to get them. I am done for this year unless they are the cheaper ones from Winners Circle.
