Just Picked Up My 1:24 B&W RT! Yay

[Vipuronr]

So, I finally pulled the trigger on the 1:24 B&W RT I've been watching on Ebay. Tried to get one cheaper, but just didn't show up, so I bought this one. Interestingly, this looks to be a full Gen II RT with the later hood:

At the same time, picked up another Black Gen I with mat silver wheels by Maisto to go with my Bburago Black Gen I with chrome wheels. No, wasn't intentional, but I forgot I put in a bid on this one and got stuck!

Also, I stopped by another (yes, another) Michael's and, guess what....they had SIX of the clear 1:24 boxes, so I bought three more. This gives me two extras just in case I find something unusual in this size.

Yay for me!!!!!

You are on a roll for sure, congrats ! Finally more Viper owners are getting infected with the scale model collecting bug and I do not mind help spending their money for them

Uhhh, yah, you're certainly helping. Unfortunately for me, its easy for me to get caught up in it. But, for my 1:24's, looks like I'm done...besides, no more space!

You're doing good as long as you keep hounding for deals within your specific search criteria No reason to spend more than the actual value of an item!

Okay, so NOW I picked up my last one. Seems fairly rare AND its red... picked up a 1:24 INDY 500 Pace Car RT/10. I figured its genuine, as the seller seems very good and the box says Indy 500 on the box.

Listed as "Maisto '91 Indy 500 Pace Car-Dodge Viper RT/10-Red-1:24". It comes with Indy 500 signage on the car and the DODGE windshield sticker:

I'm now thinking, if it truly is rare, maybe I should keep it in new condition in the original box with all the Indy 500 wording! I wonder how many of these were made and when they made them and discontinued it? Good information to know.
