I'm cool with cars. I've been collecting the movie "Cars" for my kids. As a kid, I liked Cars first and I liked Robot. TFs and Gobots put bought of those things together. I used to love Knight Rider and Speed Racer.

I build 1:24 scale model cars of historically important race cars from DTM (German Touring Masters), NASCAR, Le Mans (Endurance racing), Champ Car (CART), JGTC (Japanese Grand Touring Championship), as well as WRC (World Rally Championship). I am slowly getting into Sport Bikes (Moto GP, AMA Superbike).

 

I prefer to build them myself rather than buy a ready made model.

I'm also into superdetailing and weathering trains (1:87).

 

I love the automotive world more than TFs (Blasphemy! In know... :blueface )

 

The reason I went from a casual TF Fan back to embracing them again is due to BTs and Alts.

Since I'm too lazy to build them anymore - but I collect 1:43 die-cast racing cars from most of the series you mentioned.

 

Although, at this point, due to lack of space, I usually only pick up a couple a year now.

 

Which reminds me, I need to go hunting for Bernd Schneider's DTM-championship winning Merc :blueface .

I agree, if they like collect it it´s fine with me.

better to collect something , than nothing at all

I figure that people should collect whatever it is that they like. Nothing is more ignorant than anything else when you're just talking about throwing away money anyway.

One cannot honestly say that collecting one thing instead of another is better. Some people dig all the cool details that the model cars have. For fans of both, we have the BT/Alt line as a pretty good combination of the two. Hey, you got your model car in my toy robot. No, you got your toy robot in my model car. The rest is history.

does james bond's "Q" cars count? cause they sort of transform. you know, land/submarine mode.

that is precisely what got me back into TFs...

BT baby! :thumb

I am glad for them if it makes them happy - I can also appreciate wanting an exact replica of something...like your car. Luckily I get an alt for my ride - now if I could just get my color and choice of bot - lol

cars r kewl, but early-morning Hot Wheel collectors frighten me...
