Franklin Mint Addiction
It has started in 1/24 scale.
Just order a red/red 1954, red/red 1959, red/tan 63, red black 70
I am considering a white 1953 and 1979 Anniversary. Also the 79 pace car. Also need to find a 66 Vert in red/blk.
It seems FM makes all the c1's 1953 to 1962, yes?
I have a Redbox 1992 red/blk Zr1 Maisano 2005 Z06 and on order the 2006 red/ blk Zo6 from a forum vendor. The ZR1 could be upgraded but the other two are good.
So my question is does anyone have an entire Franklin collection? I could have $1000 in models in no time flat.

It's addictive for sure !
I personally got out of FM some time ago. For half the price I switched to AA & ERTL in 1:18 for my Corvettes. Only 1:24 I have are for NASCAR. Just didn't feel I was getting my money worth out of the FM ??

Best of luck in your new addiction, BTW, there is NO cure.

I think you need to add another zero.
You can easily have $10,000 spent quickly.
I was given one as a gift.
Now I can't stop buying them.
No cure for it either.

I sure plunked 3K last month...and now got the Exoto bug!!!
Not to deabte FM but I too feel the are pricey and very inconsistent in quality. DM is more expensive but much nicer.
I too stopped on the 1:24 and focus on 1:18 AA and Exoto with a few Maisto or Hot Whell when there is no other option (like the 96 GS)
