Digging the Golf in that colour, a lot. The Mazda van too. 👍 Nice stuff a6.

I remember you liking the gray, too. 👍 So glad it was still available for AmiAmi price, but that Mazda was $38. It's got heavy collectible premium, but I was very glad to get it from Japan Booster!

Next post, I'll get the silver Alto on here. That thing is SWEET.

What? !

Ooh, yes please. Looking forward to seeing some pics of that one. 👍

Nobody has bought a Nissan BE-1 yet? I am disappoint.

Got a 64 Nova Wagon, I'll post pics of it and my other station wagon some other time.

Got a '55 Corvette, I'll post a pic of it right now!

Cool Classics aren't really that cool. That '65 Galaxie was pretty cool, but I ain't getting that one because they don't fit in the plastic cases. Not cool.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just when I think it'll be fun to collect the '15 Mustang, Mattel goes and throws this at me.

And that can mean many things, including... VHTF!

Wow...

So I got these two fellas yesterday at a local Big 5 (of all places).

First up, the Morris Mini. I actually really like the overall design of it. The Rally El Segundo logo on the hood was a nice touch. The casting does have a lever you press to open it, but I haven't be able to do so.

And thanks to Big 5's obscure presence here, I managed to pick up my 2nd TH; the Stockar

I have to say I wasn't a fan of the look from the blister themselves, but it looks much better loose. The clear body gives way to a lot of detail in the interior of the car (pics are iffy at best, they don't show). I honestly didn't think I'd get a second TH, let alone so soon after my first

I just came up with an idea to improve that TH Stockcar. If I could find the two again at Walmart again.

Resize photos please.

Lol, I didn't even know that thing was a TH. I've left dozens behind.

 

[Gerarghini]

Resize photos please.

Too big?

Ok, just clicked on them and saw the result. Will resize next time 👍

Ask my phone, it moved really slow when scrolling through your post.

Yes. Try to keep it under 1000px, under 800px if at all possible.

2013 Mazda Rotary Engine Minicar Collection. Black one's the secret. The TH of Kyosho boxes.

I forget I haven't posted the pre-operation photos, so here they are!

Less than an hour ago I bought a 787B on GT6. This is a good night for me.

Those 787Bs do look pretty nice no matter the livery or size. 👍

@AOS- brappy goodness!

That 787B looks absolutely killer in Black. 👍

Oh my god.

I hate that I keep looking at kayanxd's store.

Mercedes CLK-GTRs and C9 Saubers are available there... and it looks like no one's going to be fighting for them. I'm so tempted by I need to save money.

 

[Dagger311]

Chevelle is the white one, the Nova is of course, the brown one.


And my trucks, because why not?

 

[AOS-]

The '29 Pickup is a pretty neat casting. My favourite one is still the spectraflame black HW Classics.

 

[Dagger311]

I've never found the black one, but I love the Cool Classics set. My favorite one from those is my 51 Lesabre concept, though.

 

[yabiggoose]

It annoys me how the cool classics all have (in my experience) the same wheel design.

 

[AOS-]

I think it's normal for a series to run the same set of wheels for all their cars. Designer Challenge, Ferrari Racers, Speed Machines and Acceleracers all had CM6s (with the exception of the latter having CM5s too). The original 1980s Real Riders series had their own set of unique wheels. The Hot Ones were so unique they have their own set of wheels named after the series.

 

[yabiggoose]

Yeah I know it's normal for them it just doesn't feel as special to me when that entire range has the same wheel. Some cool castings though.

Oh yes. I know how you feel. I'd bust them open and change 'em up if I cared enough.

 

[yabiggoose]

Very true!

Think I've bought around 15x of the Hurst Olds boulevard for the wheels hahahaha

 

[Dagger311]

I gathered every cool classic I owned when you said that, and sure enough...

68 Cougar:


Lesabre Concept:


68 Oldsmobile 442:


61 Impala:


67 GT500.


29 Ford.


All have the exact same 5-spoke wheels...
