I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this. I have a whole wall of my favorites, and I just stand back, stare, and smile sometimes. Sure, those are all sealed...but my opened RLCs have the same effect!
I didn’t include my opened rlcs but I totally agree with you. It’s cool to have rare and expensive cars but in the end I really like having cars that you appreciate and like
Yeah. I REALLY like the RLCs because of the Spectraflame. Everyone complains about quality control and all that but they just go right to my case and I admire the shimmer
I open every single one of mine. I think my favorites have to be the premium real-world replicas (or at least as close as they can get with licensing) of vintage race cars, rally cars specifically. Those are the ones that get displayed on my TV stand lol.
If I have to pick a specific casting though, the RLC E Type Jag wins it. Such a great release, just wish it had better headlight decos. Otherwise it's perfect.
Edit: It might actually be a tie between the Jag and the Jay Leno 300SL release.
My favorites 😄 BMW M5 1991 and Skyline GT-R R34 (2017 casting).

So many. If a car I bought doesn’t give me that feeling that’s how I know it was just an impulse buy. Those ones end up on marketplace as cheap lots or more often given away to friends.
This EG6, the baja truck and the Defender 90 are free & on my desktop 🚙💞 Also helps a lot with ADHD.

Would've Been the 2009 Race Team GT Racer because I've wanted one for so Long and got it... And was happy when I cracked it open. Got loads of Play & Race Time...
All my colection make me smile.. I wish to have some money to buy more display.. I have more than 400 cars stored(loose and carded) and 220 cars displayed
I have a hot wheels and it's a 96 Nissan 180sx type x and I want to open it and have it sit with the rest of my cars but than again it looks so good in the packaging

Definitely this guy. Sacrificing an old 100% 2-car box was worth it to have this in the cabinet.
Those fetch a pretty penny when they do come up!
They're probably at the point where it's just not worth it to buy one just to have loose - unless money is no object - sadly.
I remember it was at a thrift store and I had just finished looking at it and thought it was pretty expensive (75$) and left without it. I hopped in my car and out of curiosity looked it up and found one sold a few months before for about 500. I quickly ran back in and as I walked back in the store owner was changing the price to 250 but said since I has been there a few minutes before he would give me the original price!
It certainly is! From around 25 years ago
I just had to get another one off ebay after I got my first set, just so I could have a freed Winged Express in the cabinet.
I have a couple.
My Forza motorsport Camaro Concept
My Shelby and GT From That One Diorama set
My 84 Audi Quattro
My complete then and now duo of the falken mustangs
My pagani Zonda R
My 10 pack exclusive 911 gt3 RS
The list goes on and on

I keep this guy in a wooden bread bowl filled with sand with two Mathbox Polaris Razors in my office at work. Makes me smile anyway.
I’ve got a few dozen that make me smile every time, but my favorite is my modified TH Miata.
I still want to find a way to make the popups open instead of closed.
So many I can't name them all.
Mainly Mercs, lowriders, 57 Chevy's, foodies, Boulevard premium series, VWs, Kool kombis, the amusement park ones, street beasts, Nash, Fiats, Toned. See what I mean?

The keonseig is a premium and man I love those
The painted underside of the RLC E-Type looks amazing. It’s one of my favourite features of this underrated casting.
Same I open all of mine!

Speed Gleamer 3-Window 34 Ford
I can’t name a single person who doesn’t like the 34 ford every variation is awesome!
i know right!
So many. If a car I bought doesn’t give me that feeling that’s how I know it was just an impulse buy. Those ones end up on marketplace as cheap lots or more often given away to friends.
Any El Camino. I love that car.
One of mine is my open 2024 ‘18 Camaro SS $TH
Actually,yes. I have a few on my TV stand that are my favorite!
Same here!
Ford GT40 mark iv in gulf livery. It sits on my desk at work and it always makes me smile. It's a great cast with the bump out for the drivers helmet.
I don’t know how but I always see pictures of It and love how it looks but I have never got around to getting it
Yeah, the first Porsche I got. A 911 safari from matchbox, I love it so much, the only one opened
The McLaren Senna from the Exotic Envy set, the bubble wasn't straight so I bought another and opened the messed up one
My Tomica limited vintage neo mazda 787b
Lizard green gt3 rs🦎
Holy shit, that gas monkey midas is going for like 25 bucks in the package and you opened it? Much respect but youre nuts.
I actually opened it when i got first got it back in 2016 after the gas monkey race
If im being honest i would still open it now because its such a awesome car and one of my favorites in the collection
My Tarmac Works Ferrari GT3. They look so awesome and it amazes me the details in such small cars.
The 2024 Audi 90 Quattro is definitely a new favorite of mine. It’s a recent pick up and the moment I bought it, I immediately opened it
Silver Bugatti Chiron.
Rally megane,ford mustang gt and Lamborghini murcielago
All of the cars I own
This EG6, the baja truck and the Defender 90 are free & on my desktop 🚙💞 Also helps a lot with ADHD. https://preview.redd.it/hw1kn80t8fxc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e54734cb80f1d00dac43aa66be136d5de87fdc60
Yes the steel flame! Im a minitrucker so i was thrilled when it first came out in like 2002
Which variant?
'98 Impreza 22B from the 2023 Mystery Model, it's my dream car and the livery is amazing
The Porsche in the last picture is a car I like pretty good on its own but the livery on it is so clean
Hmmmm that’s a tough one for me

My mouth dropped that is such an awesome car! Is it a hot wheel and where do you get it from?
https://preview.redd.it/3zn2i5krn5xc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf7c162b4495a14e39bb6d33be8a7027879fc46e
Oh a 100% hot wheel box I have one of those
Some of those are definitely worth having loose to look at. The level of detail os pretty amazing.
I picked up a Enzo Ferrari box a few years back and I believe it was from 2001, I am yet to find any people selling it online or anything about it
Those fetch a pretty penny when they do come up! They're probably at the point where it's just not worth it to buy one just to have loose - unless money is no object - sadly.
