Figured out what I should add to the Isuzu coupe I have ordered for next month, Mitsubishi Sigma. The only question is which colour? White or Maroon ? Leaning towards Maroon at the moment.

I've been eyeing it too, but doesn't it come in red?

Edit: Ah, slightly different model. Ones I was checking out were Sigma "Eterna"(yours is 'Super Saloon'). This presents a dilemma for me: I like the yellow & red color available on Eterna, but like the design of the Super Saloon better. :crazy:

Edit2: If you haven't decided, I would recommend on these backorders:

White CR-X, Red Terrano/Pathfinder, off the top of my head(of course, backorder must wait until the first of the month) .

Edit3: Land Cruiser. :drool: OK, I"m done. Fo real.

Edit2: If you haven't decided,

Well I thought I had. But then you had to show me the other Sigma's and that CRX. Now I'm more confused than ever. Damn you. :lol:

Edit: Yep Maroon, definitely. Put the other Sigma's and the CRX on my watch list though. Thanks for pointing those ones out. 👍

Yeah, man. 👍 God, I wish I could get your Sigma with yellow or red. I don't want maroon or white, but now I don't want that Eterna either, because Super Saloon looks better. Thanks for deleting couple of cars off my list. :lol:
 
Found 3 more Auto World Christine's tonight. Was going to buy them all and sell them on eBay, but decided I'm tired of shipping things right now so I just bought one to open and left the rest behind.
 
So I found a green Galaxie....you know the front and back chrome parts? Yeah, one of them had a darker tint on it... as if someone didn't complete the polishing phase and left the black residue sitting.

Another green Galaxie I found has an overspray of green paint on the back end. The ridges are several shades darker than all surrounding surfaces.


Still haven't found a single Galaxie with the pillar though... then again, I'm only looking in the same two stores.

Just going to check back in September. Want that Velocita pretty bad.

Get all four. All are in there somewhere. Leaving some space for some additional TLV. Had another box from Japan Booster arrive today, but no one was here to sign for it. So off to the post office tomorrow...



 
Get all four.

Again, easy for you to say. :lol: Looking at them in your pic (1st pic, 7th row to the right of the CRX's, above the 911's, right?) I might have to get the Yellow version as well, that one looks very nice. 👍 I'll leave the other two for another time.

Yeah those are the ones. Very nice casting. Get one Sigma Eterna and one Super Saloon. Maroon and red.

if anyone is looking for a peticular hot wheel, I might have it, just pop me a reply, see if I have it. I dont really do RED lines, (cost). but I have thousands of hot wheels with lots variations, matchbox, classics, and some very off the wall brands. drop me a line!
 
Few cars I received the other day:

Tomica Limited Vintage Neo Super Silhouette Skyline: Early '83(L), Late '83(C) & '84(R)(From Japan Booster & Plamoya)



Mr. K's Selection Vol. 1: Datsun 510 4-Door Sedan(From Japan Booster)



LV-N09b Isuzu BU04 Iwate Prefecture Transit Bus




That red 510 from crosssea222 on eBay(AKA Japan Booster) rock. :drool: Isuzu Bus was something I wanted for long time. Plamoya dropped the price to $50, and I could not say "no". :drool::drool:

Edit: Forgot to post these freebies. Tomica noodle truck was something I've been meaning to buy!

Jada Initial D Trueno/Hachiroku + Lancer Evo


Tomica Suzuki Carry


They aren't absolute mint, but I can't complain considering the price. :D

Just got back from Akihabara. And I bought just these two Kyosho 1:64s, though:

The Porsche is very cheap, at 300 Yen, but the Countach costs 5 times more. :lol:

And some more TLVs from Tam Tam Hobby in Akihabara:
