I give you the worlds largest Z toy collection

280z/300zx · 08-31-2012, 08:58 PM

So I'm posting my Z toy collection, 490 pieces. After 13 years of collecting I finally have a house large enough with a room to dedicate to my collection. Also for the first time my collection is displayed in full and cataloged.

Just a little history on it. My collection started a few months after owning my 84 300zx at the age of 17. My mother had come home from the store one day and left a hot wheel of a 84 300zx on my bed. When I got home from hanging with my girlfriend at the time I was really stunned and excited to see a miniature version of my car. I proudly displayed it on my dresser. Then it got me thinking, are there any others. And so my collection started. First with Z31's and then eventually all 300zx's. After I got my 280z at 18 (both Z's were paid for by myself) I started expanding to all Z's. Then in 2003 with the arrival of the 350z my collection exploded as Z's were easy to find everywhere. My collection went on hold 6mo prior to med school starting. I had reached capacity of my two tiny curio cabinets in my apartment and needed to start gearing up for my move to school. After graduation I bought myself my 370z as a present to myself and with the arrival of the 370z my collection started again.

Here is the break down of my collection. Any questions or requests for closer pics let me know. My collection consists mainly of uniques, meaning I don't have a double of it. However I do have a small amount of doubles in package as well. On display is only the Uniques opened and unopened.

Total Z's-490
S30Z-105
S130Z-63
Z31-89
Z32-68
Z33-148
Z34-17

Uniques opened-406
Uniques in package-21
doubles in package-63

Third picture is a Koyosho 1:18 BRE 240z signed by Pete Brock and John Morton. The picture behind it is also signed. I wish they would have gone through with the BRE styled 370z like Pete had wanted.

Awesome collection man! Thanks for sharing it

Here I was thinking I was a bit silly going through Toy R Us for scale 370s and hotwheels lately

I have a 3 car garage, it's not big enough... I'm ready to double it.

OP, nice collection

Cant argue that your not a Z nut. Nice cars and collection. Owning several other generation Z's at one time is also a dream of mine.
