Do you see that money? I only need the Lesney and the 10 Pack Red to have the same amount of moolah.

300 yen is what in USD?

There are plenty of currency convertors on the web.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just spent $100 with Japan Booster.

Now I should sell some things.

That red one was 10-pack exclusive? It is one of the nicest ones, also seem to go for a lot....... Wait, you are talking about the red with the red top, huh? Never even seen that one before. How much do the Superfast go for again?

I take it the Silhouette set's complete?

That Jada Lancer looks tight. The notorious Jada wheel offset is poop though. Like that Viper in the background too.

Don't tempt me with that ramen truck. I already forgot about it once.

Skyline Silhouette set is complete. There are also three to the Bluebird set. I have the Coke car, Autobacs livery is on the way from AmiAmi, still need the Diet Coke one.

Yeah, while I know why these cars are so popular(manga/anime), I totally agree with you. You talk crap about my Viper again & I kill you.



Ramen truck is nice, yes? That was the old school one. I looked on eBay real quick, and I think I saw only one, though it's not really worth any money. I think the newer noodle trucks look cooler:

I think the left one is that light-up model.

Just spent $100 with Japan Booster.

Please tell me you have a spare TV.



What did you order Jason?

Still don't like stock 510/Bluebird?

Which gen CR-X did you get? I'm partial to the first gen(really good price from Japan Booster).

Such awesome choices. The blue on the Celica really stands out, and the Galant will instantly become a fave.

Working on a 510 post for this week. That might convince Jason to at least snag one or twelve. Or at least that 510 Police Wagon, which is a good way to get the Wagon without battling for the red or gray versions. Of course I realized I am missing one 510. Japan Booster put it in my next box, but I am going to do the post anyway.

Nah. I'd rather have a nice modified one.

2nd gen CRX I think.

Is it the dark green one? That's the one I don't see in the pic anyway. I'm not the biggest fan of the station wagons, but I do wish I had one or two in my collection.......... but like you said, the prices! Looking forward to the 510/Bluebird post! 👍

Right on. Lowered 510 would be so money......

Yep, dark green. Hard to pick a fave on the 510's. One day it is the bright orange, another the light blue, or Mr K's, or the white with vinyl top. The one that surprised was the Nissan Service car. Something about it.

And the Wagons are must-haves. Once in hand you will not regret what you had to spend to get them.

Thanks a lot. Nissan Service Bluebird is one that I regret not preordering. I'll get around to that one soon enough though. 👍

Maybe when I win the lottery I'll buy one of the 510's and that white nissan cedric? And do a wheel swap.

The Red with the white top is the one with a lot of money. The Lesney Edition (no Superfasts here), the green one in the blister has the second most amount of money on it. The wholly off-red is a cheap 2013 5-pack.

I worded that poorly. I like the Viper. I like that you put that into the photo too.

 

[Spacegoat]

Few cars I received the other day:

Was getting the Bobs Burgers meme ready once I saw all those Skyline Silhouettes but mother of god, the 510, it looks so prefect. Curse you Shinji. 👍

JAnd some more TLVs from Tam Tam Hobby in Akihabara:

Sweet pics, those Kyosho's too. Nice. 👍

Nissan Service Bluebird is one that I regret not preordering.

Damn right you do.

And really looking forward to seeing @jtl46's 510 post on the blog. 👍

I get the Superfast & Lesney Edition mixed up sometimes. I can't believe that all-red is so new. Looks so old.

Viper is crap. Exactly why it's stuck in that "showroom". Looks much better blurry in the background.

One in a million chance? Could be worse!

I agree. Red isn't my color, certainly not for 510, but man, I'm really digging that one. Skylines, I like the Early '83, but the other two, they are more of investment part of my collection. I could do with, or without. It's nice to complete the collection, because I almost never, but that's about it. *shrug*

I do feel shortchanged by the lack of Bob's Burger meme.

Damn right you do.

[Johnny1996]

Here's my second Toyota truck, but first loose. I might add something in the bed, but I don't know.

 

[Spacegoat]

👍

Told you before that you should have pre-ordered that one too but no. Has Japan Booster got them yet? They might be your best chance to get one at a reasonable price.

I wouldn't worry about that one. It just came out.

Just spent $100 with Japan Booster.

"Must be nice to have that kind of money..."

 

[Spacegoat]

Oh really did it? I had no idea. Anyway Japan booster does have it, $20.

 

[CodeRedR51]

"Must be nice to have that kind of money..."

That's about half of what you guys spend. And just so you know I've worked three Saturdays in a row averaging over 52 hours of work each week, I think I deserve a little something.

Point I'm trying to make is that it's one of the least coolest comments to make in a thread like this.

Pretty obvious I've not been the first to do so.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Just arrived home yesterday. Japan is truly a treasure trove for diecasts.

I shall post the 1/64s I bought there, and this is the first one:

I bought this on the first day of the trip, since I got the whole afternoon after I landed in Tokyo. I got this from the Yodobashi Akiba store in Akihabara, along with the Kyosho 1/64 Lexus LFA Nurburgring.

The wheel wells aren't even perfectly round.

Hope the trip was tons of fun.

Something told me you were going to buy some cars that are in GT, and I see that I was already right.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Kyosho 1:64 - Lexus LFA Nurburgring:

 

[Johnny1996]

Oh man. So there's that extra nudge I needed to buy that car on GT6.

 

[Spacegoat]

Digging that colour on the LFA. Great stuff mate. 👍

 

[a6m5]

I like the color, too. That first car, looks cool, but I have no idea what it is.

Anywho, I have two cars trucks today.

Greenlight International Durastar 4400 Flatbed





This was the flatbed I expected last week. You guys may be familiar with the eBay seller turbo_tiki_collectibles. I've bought from them before. Good prices & wonderful service. 👍 I recommend this GL Durastar truck also. I wasn't planning on it, but I may entertaining a purchase of that refrigeration truck now. Quality of this truck is that good. You guys know I like TLVs, but for something like the third of TLV pricing, Greenlight Flatbed comes pretty darn close. Upon a closer look, you see the quality in parts that sets TLVs apart from the rest, but again, for the price, Greenlight's done a very nice job. 👍 *That Isuzu Bellet is 1/64 by F-Toys(not TLV).

Tomica Limited Vintage LV-23f Hino RB10 Tokyu Bus





I got this one from Playmoya for $40, shipped(they still have it!). This is the bus from where I grew up, and it is the one I've wanted all long...... Except the bumper's beige(as suspected). Front bumper also had tiny chip in it. Considering that it's public bus + the price I paid, I care very little about it. AmiAmi one was even cheaper(I think just over $30, shipped?). Hopefully that one has silver bumpers. I was getting ready to shell out a hundred bucks for one. I can't believe I actually scored two for $70.



Edit: Off-topic, but @Spacegoat(or any F&F fans) needs to see this. I think the U.S. prices are more like $40-ish.
