Same. My prized pick up is the Ross Chastain “Hail Melon” car from Martinsville. Found it at Meijer one day and had to get it. I couldn’t believe he never lifted and rode the wall in 3 & 4 to race for a title. A video game move that actually worked

As a child, you play with NASCAR diecasts. As an adult, you display NASCAR diecasts.

Nah, let’s be honest. We still play with them from time to time.

@adamrhome8055 June 25, 2024 at 3:15 pm

… and then you regret dicking the cars up you played with as a child… cause you literally beat the value right out of them plus you regret not having them to display. Ahhh, the vicious circle that is playing with toy race cars… if you didn’t have those cars to crash up as a child, would you still pay $100+ to display the Elites today? It’s the chicken or the egg my friend… a question as profound as a collector’s pockets & as old as asking why we continue to drop $200+ on something we’d prefer you or anybody else just not touch… but you can look all you want… just not the signed one, that one stays in the case, where it lives… It’s house is in my house & I got insurance on both.

It’s a shame that the MOQ set by Lionel is too damn high for some cars to get made. I think a better system needs to be implemented.

Those were the early days of YouTube before gaming ruined EVERYTHING!!!!

I would be glad to be involved if they made a documentary film about stop motion die cast videos! They were a thing back then… nowadays all that’s left is Lego stop motion but recognized in a small way…

I love collecting, and I will for a long time, but I wish Lionel would either drop prices or give us more detail. The price for 1:64’s jumped $4 since the end of 2020, and the product is the same (with the same iffy quality control). The same is true with the 1:24s. 2020 price was $57 for a standard finish 1:24, with no up charge for a raced version. Now it is $75 for a standard car, and $85 for a raced version.

Since chrome numbers have been reintroduced to the sport, you have to add $6 to any 1:24 that has those numbers. To add to that, the 1:24s once again dropped in quality with the introduction of the Gen7 car.

Quality control issues continue to arise, with broken spoilers, chipped paint, inaccurate wheels, and even colors or schemes that are not even close to what the real car looked like (see Joey Logano’s 2023 Shell 100 wins tribute car).

This isn’t helped with the MOQ system Lionel has, as cars are barely produced due to high prices and unrealistic MOQ expectations. It means that some cars don’t even get produced, and that cars that are high in demand sell out quickly. This ends up leaving customers with damaged cars nothing to exchange for a better one, because there are none of the same cars left to exchange.

We are getting a car that is less detailed than ever, for more money than ever before. The ARC cars pre-2018 had more detail than the Elites do today. Today’s Elites cost $110 ($85 in 2017), and an ARC in 2017 only cost $55.

We’ve seen nothing improve with an increase in price ($30 for ARC, $35 for Elite) since 2017.

Please Lionel, make some good changes.

That Dale Sr. crashed car is The Holy Grail. If I could find one I couldn’t afford it. Well maybe I could, but do I really want to spend that much? My hat is off to anyone who owns one!

Hmmm, I had Ertl diecast when I was a kid. 1982 Petty, Waltrip, Allison, and Yarborough. I still have them, all.beat to hell, but they were way before racing champions.

One of the best programs put out about diecast. In my opinion, Ertl actually produced the true first NASCAR diecast and drivers like Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt and I believe Mickey Waltrip were the first ones “signed” up with diecast deals.

Seeing the cars on TV, then finding them in stores was the coolest thing. Had to have any i could find no matter the driver. Earnhardt was my favorite but also loved the 88 QC, 28 Texaco, and 7 QVC

I couldn’t have been the only one who would watch the races and position their diecasts in order of the running order.

As a kid, there was nothing more exciting than getting a die cast car of your favorite drivers. NOTHING
