What because I posted one after another one or twice or because I posted the same thing? Might wanna check the customising thread then, heaps in there. How do you know that people will read it? Some only read the latest posts. Also iam using an iPhone, so connection isn't the best at times. Quicker to post a new reply than edit for some reason.

I'm not a moderator, but double posting is no-no(posting back-to-back), unless you are bumping inactive thread back to life. We are required to combine our posts(is that what "+ Quote" button is for?). I don't know about the hot wheel customization thread, but bumping is never needed in a very active thread like this one.
I was checking that out just last Friday. Nice purchase there Johnny. 👍

I first saw the trike, and I was like "Ooh! Gimme gimme gimme gimme! :D" Then I figured I could customize it, so I'll be doing that. But custom or not, I do agree that its pretty nice.

Yeah, just painting that ATV alone would make it really interesting. It would be amazing with detailed interior, painted bed+ATV & some real riders. :drool:
 
Was trying to get a comparison on that CM'S Diablo SV because I was skeptical about its quality.

I have one. It has better stance than the Kyosho Diablo SV, plus better-looking rims. The SV logo is properly etched as well.

My only negative on that casting is the rubber on its tires can easily be taken off.

CM'S Diablo SV is worth the buy, and I bought it for half the price of the Kyosho. ;)
 
OK, here's the Circuit Wolf Kyosho versus Matchbox Lotus Europa 1/64:

Matchbox



Well done considering the $1 price tag. 👍

Kyosho Circuit no Ookami




Looks great considering the $6 price tag(and copyright!). 👍 If you look closely, you'll see stars painted inside the red stripe. The driver of this car was a street racer, and for every race he won, he added a star on his car.

Side by side:



Level of Jealousy - over 9000.
 
I think they heard my idea when I said they should increase production of coveted castings & make THs crap, but rare crap. :D

:lol: I don't know why companies don't just listen to their crazy collector fan-base and just make the coveted stuff more abundant like you said. They'd produce a lot less crap that never sells, and this isn't just collectors saying this. One time I walked by a bin, a mom rolled by, and like most moms here, the kids don't even have to ask for a car, moms just help themselves and give them something. How spoiled can they be? j/k.

Anyway, kid picks up some fantasy car, and mom freaks "Eww! Don't get that one! That's ugly!"




If you thought that was funny, here's the best part. The mom finds one she likes and gives him that instead. "Here, you can have this one. It's Italian!"

The rear detailing looks great. I don't think I'm too fond of the bulkiness of the open lamps, but what really irks me if the rear wing. It's bulkier than the Kyosho and it's got no downforce. There's too many cars I want, so I'm going to skip this Lambo. I've already got a 1:18 so that oughta be more than enough Diablos for me. :)
 
There are ways around obtaining those JDM classic hot wheels at the show:

a6m5 approach - "Hey kid.... I'll give you three bucks for that 510 wagon."

Cano approach - "Hey kid.... Look! Flying elephant!" *snatches & run* I kid, Cano. Sorry. :P

Damn straight. I'm not gonna pay for something that's free.

@Cano Need your decision on the exclusive color cars so I can get everything ready for sale. Just going to put them back in the boxes and start the bidding at $15.

How much for all the exclusive color cars + the ones I had already mentioned?

Also, dude. Today at the convention I found something for you. I'll give you three clues.
-it's all red
-it's international only
-it has black walls
 
A fugitive who smashed into a black wall after being launched from a cannon?

[/sooo bad] :lol:

Half price.

Miata.
 
Can't remember when I got it, think I got it from eBay. Maybe a trade, not sure.

Anyway, thinking about getting rid of my Nissan 300ZX collection, anyone interested? Decided that I don't care that it's a Nissan, I just don't care for the casting.

Yous should have used the +quote feature for that. Your connection and device is irrelevant.
