This has been a pet project of mine for a while now and, with all the talk about models lately, I'm finally motivated to get it posted. This will be a thread to showcase any and all CRX related collectibles. Anything from model kits and die cast, to print media (including oem brochures and magazine articles).

Where I can, I'll include model numbers and release dates. If there is any information like that that I haven't included, and you know the info, please let me know so that I can update the thread.

For now, I just have the model kits ready to post. I'll continue to add stuff as I get photos edited and information squared away.

**EDIT**
It looks like the photo links aren't working right now. But you can still go to my CRX Collectibles website

DIE CAST:

For the Die Cast section...I'm just going to link to another site. Hondamobilia has tons of pictures of the various Die Cast CRX's out there.

Good info for collectors, thanks nihkon. I need to scoop up a couple of these...but then, when do you stop? ;)
I hear ya man. I'd like to collect them too, but if you start, there's no point in stopping. lol! And that can get really pricey! I was outbid on the "Drift" CRX model. It ended at over $65. And I really wanted the CRX Pro2 model, which was up on Ebay recently. But the guy wanted $120+ shipped. :( That's a lot of cash for a box of plastic parts that are going to take up room on a shelf somewhere. :p
