    I got so many i had to stop
    I have been collecting 567 Chevys for over 10 years
    and yep i have had the real things still got 3 in the shed
    I have lately cut back to only matchbox size in the chevys
    and have started to accumulate 1:18 sandmans and monaro's
    I have about 20 packing boxes in the shed full of new in packet cars
    now my display cabinet is busting at the seams
    I would hate to think of what they have cost over the years

    nice collection ,20 packiing boxes is mad crazy haha,no offence
    started giving my smaller match box to the kids as they are good , they love it
    but thinking of selling some 1:43 and getting the couple 1:18 i want

    as for cost for me after 14yrs collecting it would average out enough to not look to bad
