Help With Twilight Saga Themed Living Room!!!?

Diecast Collector — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:48:09 +0000

I’m buying a white brick colonial home with black shutters and I’m going to do the living room in a red black and white Twilight Saga Inspired Theme (the books not the movie)
I have 13×19 size book covers in black frames, 2 red tulsta chairs from IKEA, a red and white twilight inspired chess board from Barnes and Noble, dream catcher from the Smithsonian, a plastic apple. I’m going to line my house in 150 Estella Rijnveld Tulips bulbs (late October)
I have 2 little girls so i was thinking lion lamb and wolf plush toys for the corner.
Any other ideas, I’m trying not to use the movie theme at all.
Add: I just bought 2 diecast model cars, a silver Volvo s60r like Edward drives, and a yellow Porsche 911 turbo like alice gets a hold of.
Glitter is out of the question, again I have 2 kids under 5.
Please any ideas will be helpful please list the website where I can purchase the items.

the year of the truck is 1982.
the model # is ih 1954
it has 2 gas tanks on the passenger side, one in which is used
as a step to get into the truck. it doesn’t matter what color
it is because it has to be repainted. the door handles are
kind of square that have to be pulled up to open the door.

Help!! Identifying Diecast Cars?

Diecast Collector — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 21:08:13 +0000

Ok I have acquired an 80+ lb box of these things (all loose) and I don’t know the first thing about them other than (suprise…people collect them and some are big bucks)
Hotwheels, matchbox, larger scale cars, some plastic ones. Where on earth do I start finding their names/year? Is there any website that has a list of the names/year,pictures…what is generally revered and shunned and the like?
I have been trying on my own and it is taking FOREVER to identify one.
I have already found one I saw on ebay go for $220+…don’t expect that to happen alot but even if I can get $2-5 for most of these it is worth my time as I have a bazillion of them mixed up.

Need Help Finding Toy From Childhood?

Diecast Collector — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 13:38:23 +0000

I am desperate. Upon doing some research, I have come up with nothing thus far. As ackward as it may sound, I am looking for a diecast garbage truck toy car that I used to have when I was about 5 years old. I recall this as being my most favorite toy, and I would love to have another one just like to to put up on the wall for memories. The toy is a replica of a Chicago city garbage truck. The truck was brown with some white paint, and it had a bubble shaped back end. It is 6 wheeled, and has a flat front. The toy had a plastic piece on its side, so when that you can move it back and fourth to simulate the movement of the crusher in the truck. To my recollection, my mother purchased this toy for me in 1994 (+ or – 1 year). If I recall correctly, the packaging of the toy had a neon highway theme to it.
I am really desperate, and I really appreciate anyone will to help me out in finding this piece of childhood which I have lost in time.
Thank you very much for your time.

What is the difference between 1/24 or 1/18?
Is price the difference or is it the size of the car? This is all new to me but I would like to buy some as a Christmas gift and I dont know which is better, or if it even matters? Thanks
