I have here a very modest collection of 1:18 Maisto's (accumulated during the late-1990s and early-2000s), which leans towards American/European 4x4s and muscle cars over exotics and Japanese imports.

Got a Mercedes Benz ML320 (W163) from 1999, a Ford Explorer Sports Trac from 2000, an army green Humvee from 2001, a Tenth Anniversary Hummer H1 from 2002, and a Hummer H2 SUT Concept from 2003, and a 1969 Ford Torino Talladega from 2004.

Still in their original boxes, including their display bases, gathering dust. The models themselves are mostly in pristine condition, although some metallic coating have faded a wee bit.

What did I miss?

When I can find a camera. And sunlight.

OK, since a few asked, here are two of the models that I've mentioned earlier. Not exactly leisurely of me to unbox them and unscrew them off their bases, so I'm not likely to go through the entire collection.

The shitty quality of the photos are not showing, but there are a few shoddy detailing which I only just noticed, mainly crocked parts and stickers, as well as parts on the Hummer that are inconsistent with the IRL version. Still, for a bunch of junk that have been sitting in the corner for years, they're still in remarkably good condition.
