There no more hard liquor conflict.....no excuse. Its time to get children to be fans again. Increase fan base = more revenue!

all I can say about 2010 gear and diecasts are, if and when they become available, there will be a memo sent to all members notifying them of when they will be ready.

How bout this, at bare minimum, all PlanetRobby members should recieve a complimentary 1/64 #7 Monster Energy Car.

I'm not a fan of the 1/64. I'll take mine as a 1/24th and I'll purchase it.

I like the idea of getting PR members involved.
How about a low production "fan club only" Planet Robby car in 1/24?
Garrett/ TOG could design it.
I would pre order one in a second.

I've spent the year off from new ones to start picking up all the cup cars that I've been missing.
So any new cars are a bonus.

Hey John, I have a 1/64 Monster diecast. Got it from Robby's website last year. Have you checked there to see if it's still available? Just a thought. :)

I just bought one off of EBay - course it is a Ford, but it is Monster and #7 - so good for me! It is a 1:64. I also got a cool black hoodie with the Monster Army symbol and claws, Robby Gordon Off road, Polaris, etc on it. Unfortunately, it was the only one and an XL - so I had to begrudgingly give it to my Significant Other. I wanted it pretty badly for me, though. Also got some black caps with the embroidered green Monster claw on the front and back. So at least we will be partially clad in Monster gear for the Daytona 500!!! And I do have my Monster flag!

Here's something else that's hard to swallow. For two years now, Sam Hornish #77 has had cars made in 64 and 24 scale....there must be 3x as many Robby fans as Sam fans, I mean honestly, ever met a die-hard Sam fan? That's an injustice. I always thought that one day Action and CFS would get together and make the 43 car field for Daytona in 1/64.
Hell, Even Bobby Labonte's 71 Tax Slayer is being made this year!

We want diecasts! We want diecasts! We want diecasts!

And while you're at it....some Monster t-shirts, too :-)

The natives are getting restless, TOG.

I was curious how many of you are diecast collectors in general, not just Robby ones? How big is your collection? How does your significant other feel about them?

I have more Robby diecasts than any other driver, but I still have a bunch of others, like 50ish. In the last two months I've bought 7 off of ebay. Yes folks I'm a 35 year old adult and I bought myself a bunch of toy cars... err collectors diecasts.

Did any of you pick up the 1/18 Robby Gordon #7 Monster Energy 2007 Ford Fusion COT Radio Controlled Car when it was sold? I found mine at Target a few years back, was the last one on the shelf. Its still in the box, the kids keep asking me if they can have it, That is the only one that i would not give them, the others were various Muscle Machines cars that i had collected over the years, But the Robby Monster Car will never be taken out of the box!!!
