Dodge 'Challenger' die-cast models...whatcha' got?

[Mr.DJ]

Wow chasb, I'm truly envious...good show!

Is that a BB '300' series (bottom left) I see? If so, might I inquire as to how you acquired it? I'd like to get one myself, which hasn't been 'blinged-out'; however, I do already have the 'Dub City' (Tanahara) 1/24 scale version...thanks.

On this subject, has anyone ever seen a good 1/18 scale model of the Trans-Am Challenger driven by Sam Posey? I would love to have one.

I haven't, but then again, the hobby shops in my area have an extremely limited inventory, and I'm yet to even see one Challenger or 'cuda die-cast model. That's why my wife's 'car wash find' was such a special surprise.

Lol, speaking of toys. I just picked up this die cast model of a 426 Hemi. I also bought a miniature cherry picker to proudly display it above my desk! It's cool, the cherry picker works just like a real one with the teeny jack haha.

I took a couple of photos so you can see the size. Lol, I luff it!

Just got in, it's midnight...been sandblasting my project car since 7pm. I have sand in orafaces I didn't yet knew existed :P

I bought it at a place called Harbor Tools. Don't know if they're a chain store or not, might google them. I know there's one in Western Oregon as well so might be?

The engine was 29 bucks and came with a stand and info about it, pretty snazzy, some kind of collectors edition thing. The cherry picker was 19 I think, maybe it was 20, can't remember. I just bought it today. Last time I was in the store that Hemi kept calling my name, so I went and got them both lol. The guys at my work think I'm a total dork for having that on my desk, but they just aren't in with the (V)opar crowd

Look what my wife bought for me at the 'On The Run' convenience market a couple of days ago...my latest die-cast acquisition.

1970 Plymouth HEMI 'cuda custom

(2005 Jada Toys - 1/24 scale )

Note: Also seen in the photo is a copy of August 2006's issue of 'Octane' magazine, which contains a very good 'test drive' article (including some great photos) of the new Dodge 'Challenger' concept. The article also contains a nice, yet small, side-by-side 'comparo' shot of the 'Challenger' concept next to the current 'Mustang GT'.

Mr. DJ, I bought that exact same car at Toys 'R Us last year, but mine is purple. Here I went looking for toys for the kids and what do I end up buying? Yep, something for me :P

Yep Kroke, I know exactly what you mean. Although my two sons have outgrown toys long ago, it looks like I now finally have a chance to relive my childhood all over again...with these new die-cast Mopar models.
