    There's probably a lot of us that do the same. My grandson counted all the diecast cars I have in my den, 52. They're 1:18, 1:24, 1:32 and 1:43 and there's more in our rec room. Here's a quick snapshot of some behind my desk. The top row are cars I actually own or owned since 1990. Correct colors, wheels, etc.
    Just a way to extend the hobby over the winter.

    I have a few die cast but my plastic model collection out does it. I still have about another 100 still in the box

    Definitely worth cleaning up. That's a nice collection.

    for what it's worth, I use one of those California Dash Dusters to clean mine off. Does a pretty good job and its quick to just wipe over the top of them.
