funny how sarcasm is lost when typing.

seriously - i have no idea (other than what i paid for it, but i bought it as a gift then when i got it - it looked *much* older and vauable than it did in the ad and what i paid for).

so i ask.

I have no clue what average is. I have somewhere over 1000 Pcs. in my collection though.

average would probably be maybe so many but all fairly new.

if you had 1000 diecast 40-50 year old toys then i 'd be interested maybe in seeing pics. Wink

I don't have that many toys.

But I do collect all kinds of vehicles.

I don't collect toys...nope, none...dammit alright maybe a couple.

Paul, looks like an old picture of the VWs I think I might even have that one in an old VW Trends. How 'bout an update?

Here's some advice...go out to your local Wallywurld(and others) and collect all the vw related stuff you can...spend every $ you have, store it in a climate friendly area for let's say 15 to 20 years then sell it all to me for a 1/4 of the price. There is too much of the new stuff on the market.

Steve, that is an older shot. I don't have any newer pics on the net. Maybe I'll get around to it someday.
The Trends pics that you're thinking of were earlier than the pic shown. I still had hair half way down my back in those pics. Laughing

I have found that when either of the two previous posters are bidding ( I won't reveal their eBay names), it is best to forget about getting involved in that auction. Crying or Very sad

I am sure I have been out bid by one or both of them in the past Laughing

I have a serious EBay “crack habit” with Minichamps Volkswagen 1/43 scale models, Tonka VW's, and Gate VW New Beetles in 1/18 scale models.
And before my eyesight got old-man-bad I was building 1/25 model cars at the rate of 2 a month or better depending on how much time I had to spend at work.
I have a second bedroom that is taken over with all these “little cars”.
Most of the cool Minichamps VW seem to be sold from the Europe so I get a lot of international shipments.
I seem to have good luck with sellers from the UK, but after being burned by 2 sellers from Germany, I’ve stopped bidding on items sold by German sellers.
I hate to write off an entire country, but what the hell.

I never understood this toy thing. Did you guys miss something in your childhood?....................... Like Micheal Jackson in FAO Schwartz or something, I don't get it but is sure seems like fun. Explain it to me Chuck..........Why do you collect toys? What is the attraction? Confused
