Man you know I'm talking about the upcoming full open Pista.

I have a 499P, F40(Kyosho with BBR case), FXXK, FXXK Evo diecast, LaFerrari diecast, and I have the F80 diecast on preorder.

Needless to say these high end Ferrari models are highly addictive.
I completely forgot there was an opening one coming, dunno if I will get one or what yet. I really wish the diecasts were a bit more affordable lol
 
I've had a slow year so far with collecting as well, but these 991.2 GT3 RS models from AutoArt have finally arrived after a very long wait. With the addition of these models I now have ALL 911 GT3 models with opening parts.

Haven't bought diecast models in quite a while (used to have an OK collection, but got rid of them years ago). But I found this and jumped on it right away.
Brand - Pop Race
Scale - 1:64
Decent detail for a 1:64, imo.

They make quite a few others. The next one on my list is the CLK-GTR.

Bought a few from Costco and Sam's club since the beginning of the year...

But the one I am most excited about, just got it today...

Will do proper photos later, but for now enjoy my excitement:

Had a W124 280 in the exact same color almost 20 years ago....
Bullet proof car, yet I crashed it due to phone inattention, I didn't have the money to fix it up so had it scrapped sadly

Edit:
I have another exciting one coming next month...
Along the same line as yours above @Venom800tt
Also in similar blue

I met my friend Nicki for lunch today as she is visiting from Tokyo, and she brought me this...

... crappy photo, but it's a really lovely Spark model of Yuki Tsunoda's RB Honda from the 2025 Japanese GP - quite the souvenir from Japan!! The photo doesn't do it justice - the shiny dark red logos are absolutely lovely, and there appears to be a pit board in there too...

Such a thoughtful and wonderful gift, and a very welcome addition to my collection.

In all fairness.... Despite all the criticism the W1 has been receiving, the 10 year old me would have loved the W1...
Actually, for me its design HATES orange. It just doesn't look good on it. If it's purple or any colorshift paint then it will look miles better.
 
I had no idea they were still releasing 1:43s. They've been such a flop here in the UK that I don't think Smyths stocks them anymore.

I've slowed down collecting and want to focus on displaying all my cars soon.

My latest is a 964 Carrera Cup USA from GT Spirit

The model is based on a real car. The long story short of it: Porsche sent 45 Carreras to the USA, all of them had full interiors to comply with regulations. The intent was to convert them to race use for a one-make series but ultimately sponsorship was never found. 25 of the 45 cars did get converted to race spec then back to road spec and sold off along with the 20 unmodified cars as "Carrera Cup Edition" cars.
