i need an update about Minis!!!!!
Stellar display….until my son is 3 yrs (1 yr @ 3 months) he will open his entire cars collection
Beautiful!
…wipes tears…
It is totally beautiful. My wife completely surprised me with it Christmas morning. I thought we were all done opening stuff up when my 6 year old comes up from the basement with this rather large box. My Wife said “Santa” left me something. I starting tearing the box apart and found the display case inside. Man what a feeling. I spent the rest of the day figuring out just how I wanted to organize the portion of my collection that will fit into the case.
Looks better in person . 😉

And so far so good this year – Found the color changers and one King with a cup…
Couldn’t bring myself to payin’ $9 = tax for a plastic McQueen…
Not even Ramone looked good enough to buy! Oh well at least there weren’t any lenticucraps!
got the color changers the other day. they didn’t even work. my son was so disappointed.
Where can i get one of theses
go to home depot or lowes and build a wood one your own for a fraction of the price. you can paint it any color you want or just finish it. very cheap to do.
Other options;
Ikea (who I normally never buy anything from) do bookshelfs with adjustable height shelfs, multiple colours and styles and you can fit glass doors. They also do complete glass display cabinets.
anyone ever try a golf ball display case? I wonder if they’d fit?
… For all the pittys maybe?
I am a woodworker by trade and NOTHING I can make wood be as cool as the mirrored angled clear ones that I see above…if you just want to display them…any old board will do, BUT if you want to SHOW THEM OFF….
I agree PD, I totally want one of those!
I Built a basic display shelving thing out of wood last year. I was OK but just not what I was looking for. I will probably end up putting all the haulers on it. I have 3 more that were not in the picture. And I finally found Sven the Hummer.
Thanks for the complements. I’ll pass them along to the wife.

Great folks.

Any preferences anyone, over CTC display case and the Carney one??
The CTC display case is the Carney Plastics display case, the SA100… I have the Carney CP-21/24 for the haulers… I plan on ordering one SA100 with the clear, not mirrored, back (my other display cases are not mirrored) by the end of the month. If the price with shipping is less through CTC than it is directly from the Carney site (which it currently is), I’ll order it where I can save money… for more Cars…
Thanks! *)

When I look at his glass case, I say to myself – “SELF, that is NOT ENOUGH SLOTS TO HOLD ONLY YOUR CUSTOMS”!
One would think 104 slots would be enough.. but I guess I have way more than I thought I did. I don’t even have any of the Mia/Tia pairs in the case. Or the Show Girls. Or most of the Pitties that I have. I’ll probably order yet another one and hang it just below the first one. I could probably fill another half way without a problem.
And yes, It is really hard to photograph a glass backed case. If I set the aperture correctly I could probably get a reflection of my other display case in the background.

Christmas Eve morning found a pleasant surprise at Target, with a fresh delivery of Final Lap cars and Ransburg DJ hanging on a peg!
I see some empty slots in there…what gives?
As another poster commented, I have the racers in ascending order. The Empty slots are the few that I am missing. I do have 2 from the Toys-R-Us mail-in thingie that I have never taken out of their little cases. I think I am down to just a few missing. The Apple car is one I would like to get my hands on since anyone who knows me wonders why I don’t have one yet. (yes, I’m an “Apple” guy. I have shirts, pens, mugs and sweatshirts from the “Mothership” in Cupertino, but not an Apple car).
So hopefully I can finish up the collection pretty soon. I never got the MSoS set so all of these were found the old fashioned way: I fought my kids for them. 🙂
thanks for all the complements.

Great photo of the display case… you’ve got the racers arranged in ascending order…Thanks for sharing…
I have 3 smaller ones for singles, and 1 of the Carney Plastics display cases for my haulers… and I see one of the Carney Plastics single display cases in my near future… I need one so I can display them all!
Looking at those haulers there made me think about mine. I live in the UK so I have the ones with international packaging, but both my Mack and Octane Gain hauler are numbered #4 on the box. I saw some more Macks in the shop the other day and they were all numbered #1 like the one in the picture above. Isn’t it a bit strange my Mack says #4? It’s not like it’s in the wrong box, it’s definitely the Mack box as it has his picture on it.
Any ideas?!
Thanks,
Jon
nice
