Now here is a ture collector, John Brauer from Perth, Australia. Read his story and checkout his huge Movie and TV collection. After spending $4,500 having a custom trailer built to transport my treasures from BRISBANE. I started going with my brother to BEAR & COLLECTABLES at Stones Corner, and its true what his business card said "collecting die cast cars is an unexplained disease with no cure", so then I turned around and there it was the MACH5 (must have now), as well as 1923 COCA-COLA T-Bucket, then the next day James Deans Mercury. I purchased previous 3 and to Bills delight 28 more models then had a long break of maybe 12months(hard to beleive now) I started roughly 3 years ago. My unequivical is one of my recent aquisitions MILNERS COUPE after 3years and $160 I finally got one. What would I like to own? Anything they release in a 1/18 scale model. But truthfully at the moment 56 ford pick-up from American Grafitti(it would finish the set) a Super Elite Batmobile(waiting on back order) The ultimate for me would be if these 3 were released in diecast 1/18 Green Hornets "Black Beauty" "Beverley Hillbillies" "Original Penelopes Roller"of Thunderbirds. Since taking the photos another 10 models have arrived. I also have all of the American Choppers1/18s including ute/1/10 Catterpillar Bike/1/10 Talking Paul Snr. Most of the collection has been purchased in the last 18 months, with 60plus coming from diecast1stop in Waterford in Brisbane and the rest from hours of searching the web and Ebay.
