But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

Quick question: How do you guys store or display your Hot Wheels? My DIY display couldn't handle the weight of the cars and now they are stacked on my desk.

eg. the Lamley Group: Because you asked, here is what I use to store and display my collection...

My two most recent additions.

Finally got my hands on a white/blue AutoArt MC12, has a couple issues but the price was right.


Also got a white/blue AutoArt P1.

^ how is the resin model P1, is it actually a lot of plastic? or is it still essentially a die-cast car with a bit more plastic parts than last autoart models

The P1 is a composite model. The base is metal, but all the rest of the car is plastic. I have seen it in person, and it is very light and flimsy. It's fine to display but really lacks the feel of a collector "diecast". IMO, it feels more like a toy.

Other than the wing supports being metal the car is all plastic/resin. So with the combination of being a composite model and a matte white finish it doesn't feel quite right when you pick the model up. It almost feels like a model that you would build yourself with some weights added in.
If I didn't have a personal connection to a similarly spec'd white on blue 1:1 P1 I probably would have saved some money and bought a TSM version.

Someone needs to tell that guy they're not worth eBay prices if they don't have boxes (more than half appear not to).
