S550 diecast collectibles

[Cobra Jet]

I look at ebay and find some that are being bid on but still low price. I’ve not had any luck finding older releases any where else.

Thanks - same here. I was just wondering if you had a sourced dealer where you were able to get any better deals than eBay.

I too have some 1:18’s that were bought quite a few years ago that have jumped in value. They’re all still in their original boxes. Even a recent gift from 1-2 years ago, which was an Auto World Al Joniec 68 Cobra Jet is now upwards of $150-$200 depending on condition and who’s selling…

I have an original 1:18 GMP 1985 CHP SSP, bought new and has never been removed from the box (not displayed)… and man was I surprised to see the values of those now… c-r-a-z-y. People think the real car market is nuts, the 1:18 die-cast market is just as insane…. LOL!

Excluding the 1:18’s, I have a lot of Mustang related books which have also jumped in value… as well as original Dealer brochures from the introduction of the 1962 prototype up through year 2006 I think it is… I stopped collecting those for a bit, have to pick up where I left off…. But even some of those, originals, are commanding decent money these days.

I never set out to buy to make any $$$ on what I have, I just collect Mustang stuff.

I also have a huge WaWa Mustang art rendered sign that hung in the stores… double sided and it was to celebrate the Mustang 30th Anniversary for the 1994. It was a 30 Mustangs in 30 days giveaway. I have never seen another (yet), so I consider it to be a 1 of 1. I asked the local WaWa back then if I could have it and scored it (they were only going to trash it after the corporate giveaway). It’s approx 4ft by 3ft. This was the original newspaper ad for the giveaway of the time:

Has anyone found a plain white gt diecast or even hot wheel? I can't find one anywhere.

He has a 22 on the way, so probably 18+.

Ok. I think I am about done buying 1/18 until I find a 2022 CFTP HE car with white stripes.
I say that but I do like the red number 1 but not the price on Ebay for it.

Don't mind the magazine pouches, cuffs, holsters, Kevlar gloves, etc. I have not decided what to do with them since retiring. LOL.

I got it on ebay but it's a Walmart series Exclusive. Distribution has been poor so who knows when it shows up in stores.

Nice collection - now you need a wider, larger shelving unit or case for your collections!

I've seen folks buying used display cases from stores that have gone out of business or were liquidated - like the ones that have glass shelving and lights inside, they seem to make very nice units for 1:18's and models.

I have that one too - it's reasonably easy to get hold of in the UK

My daughter wanted one the the Disney Lightyear Hot Wheels so I wondered over to the toy shop on my lunch beak, I couldn't find it, but I did find one of these :

For £1.49 is would have been a shame to leave it on the shelf ...

There was an 18+ too, but it looked like a fast and furious reject so I left it there ...

Found these at CVS yesterday for $14. Not bad.
