Am I the only one who can't go into a store without digging through all the hot wheels, matchbox, die cast models, etc. without buying one of every Corvette or Camaro in stock???

I didn't think so. There should be a support group or something!

I usually make an excuse to go into any Walmart, Target, TRU, etc to look for new stuff. Especially if its in a town I haven't been to in awhile.

I'm on E-bay at lest 3 hours a day looking for one I don't have...also trips to all the usual spots on the weekend. There should be a Diecast Annonomus formed. I've spent as much on the collection as I've put into the Vette in the past year and I re-did the interior and had it painted,new exhaust ,fuel pump and alot of other small things.

My name is Leo, and I'm a diecastaholic. :lol: :yesnod:

Very, very true. My problem is that I'll buy just about anything I see that I like. Here's just an example:

Ertl '55 Chevy stock (Green/Off White) - got it
Ertl '55 Chevy (Red) Street Machine - got it
Ertl '55 Chevy (Black) Street Machine with flames painted on the front - got it.

They're all practically the same car, but I had to have them all. I'll collect anything, all brands, all sizes, classic, sports, antique, muscle, you name it. I've truly got a problem here. Need help! Very weak! I think I might need a 12 step program or something.

I believe my life may be in danger. At least thats what my wife tells me. :boxing I can't help myself. I get a rush when I see something I have to have and it won't go away until I have opened the box after I recieved it. Not to mention, that I have to try to get to the UPS truck first before she sees the truck. I feel like 007. What a life. :jester :jester :jester

Is there is more to Wal Mart than the toy department?
