Standard Tomica (crap) bikes

 

[AOS-]

Good 🤬, man. That's some high-quality crap you got there.

I've got high-quality crap of my own:

2013 Porsche Minicar Collection V - 911 GT3R Hybrid

Rule of thumb with Kyoshos:
1) Do not question about a rear wing's positioning.
2) Do NOT question about the rear wing's positioning.

Spoiler

I don't know why rear wings are angled incorrectly. '95 McLaren F1 GTRs have the same issue.

If I manage to win that white one, which I plan on modding, me and that wing are going to have a little chat. See if I can't... straighten things out.

 

[Daniel008]

Anyone has the kyosho CLK GT Roadster?

 

[BadSushi]

You mean CLK GTR? I have that

 

[Daniel008]

You mean CLK GTR? I have that

Oh Yes the GTR, from the internet the wheels doesn't seems to look as good. Worth it?

 

[yabiggoose]

Right so normal hot wheels are trash.

Standard tomica are crap.

Let's all take the fun out of these toys and make it more serious than a political debate.

Gotta love that positive energy hey. Not everyone can, should or would spend $50+ on a puny little bit of metal car.

Should just be glad we have a common interest without this elitist attitude. Far out. I'm so done.

I really wish toy cars ain't this expensive! Even hotwheels is expensive in my country.

 

[kukucio]

I just got quoted the most expensive shipping as a collector.

USD200.00 to fill in customs forms to ship to Malaysia for HWs worth USD30.00

WTF yo..........

SERIOUSLY WTF... Makes you wonder Where the money goes to.

To be honest the most I've paid for shipping to Malaysia is 20usd, which is fair

This is my first time encountering such day light robbery. Talk about getting paid to fill up something a 10 year old could do(also there is no need fo fill up customs as my previous sellers didn't have such issues.)

Seriously $20 usd I feel is already alot. Shouldn't it be around $30 RM Sounds more reasonable.

I shipped back a **** load of cars about 70 pieces - NO CUSTOMS forms needed also no customs issue upon arrival in Malaysia

 

[BadSushi]

I got some quick pics on my mobile, hope you dont mind

 

[yabiggoose]

@BadSushi what brand is it? (Yes I know it's a Mercedes lol) always digged the open top version.

 

[Ameer67]

Got these from Dollar Tree. Jewel Osco (a supermarket) had them for $2 a car. That's crazy!

Datsun 620 and a Civic.

 

[AOS-]

Anyone has the kyosho CLK GT Roadster?

I has two.

Took this baby apart two Februarys ago. Still has not received paintjob yet.

Gotta love that positive energy hey.

Yeah. It's calling joking around.

@BadSushi what brand is it?

It's Kyosho. Don't think any other brand makes the Roadster.

 

[Johnny1996]

New cars, with nearly $25 spent on all five of them. I think you guys can figure out why I got two Minis and two Chevys.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Got this cts v coupe.

Please read it if it concerns you. If not, please move on.

To anyone that I offended with my Tomica comment, or way I express my opinion in the group:

I do apologize for way I worded it. I do like to let you guys know that my statement is being taken out of context, and after million praises from myself on standard Tomicas posted by Daniel, or the mainline Hot Wheels posted everyday by everybody, I was somewhat taken by how I was instantly labeled.

In that "crap standard Tomica" comment, I was replying to Johnny, who asked if Tomicas were sold in the States. By "Standard Tomicas", I was referring to the very small lineup of Tomicas that were briefly sold here in the U.S. They were overpriced, very unattractive(downright awkward in my book), featured many casting choices that interested no one(nothing like the cool & unique 'Standard Tomicas' sold overseas), and sold extremely poorly. It was a very short run for them, so I think the market itself backs up my position on this.

I am sorry for the misunderstanding & poor choice of word I used to express criticism on those particular cars. Hopefully, you won't have to worry about me in the future. 👍

 

[Johnny1996]

@a6m5: Love the cars, especially the Olds.

 

[Spacegoat]

Nice stuff a6. Digging the Olds stock car, looks real cool. 👍

@BadSushi what brand is it? (Yes I know it's a Mercedes lol) always digged the open top version.

Kyosho. Never was an overly huge fan of the CLK GTR but do agree that the roadster does look pretty neat.

Edit: 2014 Matchbox 1M. Love the colour on this.

 

[yabiggoose]

@a6m5 sorry about snapping like that.

It's when people start acting high and mighty because they spent more than someone else on a toy car that annoys me.

For the most part though there's no problem with people on here.

Moving on, that 57 olds is a beauty!


Here's a car I bought the other day, I have another one carded too.

 

[Johnny1996]

EDIT: Post has been removed. Thank you to whoever it was that did so.

 

[yabiggoose]

What?

 

[Johnny1996]

What?

Its been removed I see. Thankfully. Put simply: spam in a very bad way. Its been posted in the vast majority of the threads.

 

[Spacegoat]

What?

A Spambot posted right after you.

Anyhoo that Monza is sweet by the way, sadly yet to see one of those myself. :/ Nice score. 👍
