@perrone1 what a fabulous collection Rick must have Tony. I reckon I'd needed to be sedated after viewing it!
My thoughts exactly Geoff!
Tony, thanks for the news that these cars are safe with Rick. You'll have to pay him a visit soon, and don't forget to bring your camera!

I would have been all over these like flies on potato salad at a church picnic! Seeing them again Tony, only infuriates me that the mints met the demise they did.
We had such a beautiful thing going for a couple of decades. And then, with little or no notice, we were left in the cold.
I still believe in my heart that there is a way to do a cost effective model that would once again have us all opening up our wallets. Some one or some company just has to see the vision.

So Tony...were there any actual prototypes of any or all of these? I mean, do actual cars exist as 1 of 1? I'd add everyone of them to my collection in a heartbeat.

George all of these can be considered prototypes. There were more than one of most of them but where they are today is not known. Rick owns these and they were the finest of what was made.

Thank you Tony. I sure hope they are still around and being taken care of. Maybe someday they'll show up for sale. I know I'll open my wallet!

I hear THAT George! When Rick visits his sister & family, who live nearby, he routinely stops in. If he wasn't going straight back there before going home I might have kidnapped him and taken possession of that incredible collection. 
It took us all day, with a couple of libation respites in between, for Rick to unbox and handle the cars; and for me to position and photograph these treasures. A day in diecast paradise!
