I'm running out of room. Have no idea where to display my cars anymore. The walls and cabinets in my 'TOY ROOM' are at capacity and the office is either full of books or cars. Maybe I should buy a much bigger house? Toy room is 12x40 with no place to put anything anymore. 🙁

Don't forget the laundry room, pantry, attic, and mud room!

You could sell the 1:1s and use the garage!

Rotate the collection like the art museums? or just toss some furniture. Priorities!

Tom, while many smile at your situation, I sympathize. I have the same problem, and it's compounded by two things: my secondary collection of antique and semi-antique toys and my realization that I'm getting a little older.
This came home closer a few days ago when I added a good looking Kaiser Carolina and found no room in my Kaiser display case. I already have a beautiful Packard exposed atop another display case because my Packard area is full.
So I'm finally starting to do some careful weeding from both collections. Nothing drastic, but it's finally coming to me.
Of course, I just purchased a couple more "oldies." Maybe next week. . .

Ya it is. Check out displays in the features section. Shows most of the room but there is no way to update the pics anymore. Mostly 1:43 now with just a few of my larger scale Vettes and such

Wow !!! Incredible, I'd never seen these pics before, dayum, what a collection !
I stopped at pic #15 because it's late so I'll tune back in tomorrow. I suggest that others tune in too !!

Tom, sounds like your priorities are misguided. You need to rethink the space you have. For instance, I have over 6,000 models and everyone is on display. Where? In my garage, including the bathroom, enclosed back porch, breakfast room, laundry room, hallway out to the car port, family room, front door entry way, living room, dining room, hallway back to the bedrooms and one guest bedroom. After you have adjusted your collection and still are out of room, then I will have sympathy for your situation.

Not if the 1:1's are Toyotas and Hondas!....I can see if he has a '70 Trans Am and a '71 Cuda!!!

Your problem sounds very familiar to me.
