Derek's Mitsubilia Page

Mitsubishi Model Car Collection: Here are some group shots of my diecast collection. I also included some pics of other Mitsubilia that I have. Most of the countless posters and banners from years of working at a Mitsu dealer since the late 80's are at my house in the garage. Email me if you want pics.

New shelves installed in the cabinet as of 6/5/08)!

Here are a few pictures of me and fellow Mitsubilia collector Richard. We got together for a few days during his world trip 2007 and had a blast.

Here is Richard and I getting into the Evo headed to hunt for some Mitsubilia at the local shops in York, PA.

Below are two pictures of Richard at York Mitsubishi (my work) where my collection is displayed. I was great having Richard there to see my collection and talk about the various models.

More to come after Richard returns from his trip. I don't want to take away any of his thunder. He has lots to tell from his adventure.

Old layout:

Above left: Tomica collection. The old school Lancer 2000 rally cars are pretty cool. My favorite Tomica though, has got to be the gray Evolution VII GTA. A gray Lancer with a high spoiler? It has got to be MY favorite right? Many of these are similar molds but different color combinations. Above right: Random Evo models. The gray Evo MR made by Epoch I just got. It comes in a small bubble pachage just like you get at the grocery store! Also, I really like the black Evo III from the Initial D series. It is made by Jada Toys. I also like the yellow and white Evo VIII's made by Johnny Lightning. "Tricked Out" or modified cars are cool but I love true accurate models. The blue out of scale model in the back is a Kentoy Evo VII that I got at Rutters!

Above left: I few various Rally cars and Montero (Pajero) models. The two Evo IV's in the front are made by YUJIN and are kinda rare. I just got those. Above right: This is my Jada Toys and Muscle Machines collection. Common but still great models none-the-less.

Above left: Eclipse and old Galants. Above right: Random larger scale Kinsmart, Kintoy, and Motorwerks/Malibu models.

Above: A few new additions. The Ertl Eclipse Spyder from 2F2F, and the new Motorwerks/Malibu Lancer Evo VII's.

Above: The Pajero Evolution Hot Wheels is great. Got to be one of my favorites now. Also a gold colored Eclipse Spyder by Hot Wheels. Both from my fellow Mitsu-file Shane. Thanks! A few more Muscle Machine Evo VII's, Fast and Furious Eclipse from Ertl, and a newer Muscle Machines Eclipse GS-T.

Above: Thanks Richard! My new Choro-Q collection. Also a handfull of great Pajero models. A few spyders as well. A 3000 GT and the Eclipse concept car.

On the way home from the NY Auto Show I got the yellow Evo VIII Kentoys pull back. Lastly, two Evo VI freak cars. Believe it or not they are Evo VI, look like choro-q molds, with working suspensions and bigfoot tires. Strange? yes. Weird? yes. Kinda neat in the same respect? Heck yes!

Hot Wheels WRC 04 and the Cararama Pepsi Evo V. It i shard to see in the picture but it features the Pepsi logo on the hood and an old time pepsi ad female on the side of the car. It came in a retro style Pepsi tin can container.

Newest additions. Norev Pajero Evolution and a generic penney racer of an older Pajero evolution. The Evo, Eclipse, and big red Pajero are plastic toys found at local stores.
