hey guys
I already have a few 1:18 models, but I was thinking the other day how cool it would be to have a collection of falcons. I was thinking of getting every model (XK-whenever I stop). I dont think I will go with 1:18's as it might get rather expensive for something thats just going to sit there. 1:48 seems like a good size, but there seems to be alot of 1:64's floating around on ebay, but thet are so so small. Which ones are easyer to get hold off? I will end up getting utes, wagons, coupes, etc etc, doesn't really matter, and make a kind of time line. What do you think? Anyone else done similar? Just something else to waste some cash on...lol ![]()

I've got about 100 1:18 scale Falcons.....
Mostly the Biante Moffat's and Johnson collections etc. Plus a few others... Have not seen many XK-L-M-P's in any size. (I'd kill for an XP sedan!!!) One rare one I've got is a Franklin Mint XK Sedan.... <drool> D ![]()

I've got a lot of 1:18 falcons, mostly Biante's. I have a red XR8, lightning strike GTP, shockwave GT, Citric Pursuit Ute, and about 5 BA 2003-4 Supercars, and a David Besnard AU supercar. They weren't cheap, but may be selling a couple of them if anyone is interested, all come with original box and certificate of authenticity. Got a few VW's and a VY SS as well.

I brought a 1963 1/2 Falcon coupe (US version) a month or so back because I had never seen one before (for sale), and now they are everywhere! I hate it when that happens.

Well its started. I told my gf the plans and she said lets start, brought a XT GT (green) and an AU S1 TS50. I already have a BA XR8 so thats three models down.
All in 1:43 by the way, dont have the extra room or cash for 1:18. Should be fun finding them all anyway, ebay is gold!

^^no as per usual...looks like xf, ea, eb, ed's are going to be tough to find. I think ive got a Mitre 10 EL V8supercar somewhere which will count untill I can find a normal version.

As the late Director of Biante once said it is a numbers game, it costs many many many hundreds of thousands of dollars to tool up for a model car, if they can sell enought to make a profit it will eventually be made. I would dearly love a 1/18 xf falcon but I doubt that that will ever happen.

sorry to dig this up.
But does anyone else randomly bid on stuff with ebay thinking that there is no way that you will win. well i just won a 1:18 XT GT - exactly the same one I brought YESTERDAY...Crap! Albiet my version is 1:43, thats not the point, I thought id have no chance of winning it. lol...still got it for $71....thats half the cost of the others on there..a little bargin I guess!
