Recently helped my dad make a display unit for 'most' of his slot car collection. When I say most, there are still an awful lot of these things on the opposite wall, either still in their boxes or part of a limited edition with display boxes...
There's room for 400 cars on the display, pretty much anything you could wish for is there - and if it isn't, he probably has one elsewhere...

It's in alphabetical order by manufacturer. There are an awful lot of Ford Escorts!

How many Astons?!!

There's a full fleet of JGTC cars too - Skylines, NSXs, Supras - it's like Gran Turismo all over again.
A handful of them are mine - they're just kept at my dads, since I don't have a track anyway.

What's the point in anything?
I think we all need a hobby. I collect / make rc cars. It's a form of escapism - I can't afford the time and space to have a real car to modify / race, but I have a whole fleet of rc cars in various states!
Dad collects anything he particularly likes rather than collecting for investment / the sake of it. His collection reads like a Gran Turismo garage!
They all get used too - some harder than others. A few are worth upwards of £80 so it can be a bit nerve racking giving them full throttle haha

That's a question I often wonder...hence asking! 
Fair enough though, not sure I 'get' it but each to their own!

A cracking collection there! Very impressive. And to answer the above; if there was no point to anythin, we'd be living in a black and white world with generic cars, hair, food , the lot! It's a choice/hobby/motive/joy to collect things like this.
If an earthquake struck; the owner would be more pissed that they're out of order!
Incredible nonetheless
