The Civic isn't a multipack exclusive. The Mustang is though.



Yeah? Which release might that be?

First Editions

 

[AOS-]

Ah. Should aim for the Hall of Fame if you find it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Is this a multi-pack exclusive, or release ahead of the single ones?

Andy's post + Furai might be a mulitpack only release.

I can haz?

My two stores were raided already.

Furai might be a mulitpack only release.

Confirmed Multi-pack exclusive.

Me feels the Furai wasn't popular enough to get mainline release anymore. So they shove em in all the multipacks.

Like the V8 Vantage, or the '12 ZO6.

I also had to clear out the building for the TLV buses.

Might be time for a bigger Tomicarama, eh?

Someone saying "multi-pack exclusive?" in their auction doesn't make it so.

Applicable in most cases, but I know this seller sells a lot of loose cars from multi-packs, 5-packs, play sets, etc.. She could've jumped the gun, but usually she isn't misinformed so I wouldn't mind putting money on that for the time being.

Plus, the 5SPs on a nasty gold colour doesn't look radical enough for the current theme of Mainlines. That colour scheme looks fitting for a 2011 Heat Fleet mainline.

Eh no sense in arguing over a car I'm definitely buying either way and something you don't care for so not sure why it matters. In any case the wheels aren't that bad.

 

[Nessy]

Total denial & that facial expression. Dr. @Nessy , hurry!

This appears to be a rare strain of the disease. European diecast masking itself as an American product. And once it gets its hooks in, the desire to obtain becomes far too strong to resist.

Just look at his eyes.. The man is possessed and clearly beyond help.

*ahem*

I just tracked my incoming shipments, and they are all ready for pick up, except for one. I have around $100 worth of cars sitting there at the post office. Don't tell Dr. Nessy.

Hmmm... $100 worth of diecast.

Surely you could have spent your hard earned money on something more practical, more.. useful, like these:

Nothing really spectacular, but Black Friday sale at diecastalley. They generally have good pricing & reasonable shipping anyway. Maybe worth a look.

I thought the same thing. I still wait for them to come out with something new. Ever since the police box/station/post thing, they've just been the variant of the gas station. When the TLV version of this is out, I'll make sure to preorder one from AmiAmi:

I'm kidding of course, with my budget, it's gonna look closer to this.

Initinally, I did have my heart set on that very set. But since I only have a pair of hands, I decided that I didn't need a fourth one(I do own a third set as my backup shear).

In your face! In your face! lol

Found this today at a local grocery.

[a6m5]

Very cool. I didn't realize that there was such a Treasure Hunt. 👍

I didn't either. I can't say that I like it all that much. But a TH is a TH.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Found this at a local antique store I don't often go to. They don't often have model cars. But I found this. Worth the $4?

Hey, you know there's always the parking lot.

Spectacular. Not sure where the hell I'd put it but I want one, badly.

 

[a6m5]

I think that's just a variant, too. Just two lots connected, without the building. TLV should make one with a car wash on it? Cano can use it to clean his cars once a week.

Spectacular. Not sure where the hell I'd put it but I want one, badly.

Isn't it something? We'll probably keep on staring at it like it's a 3D gif.

So I was sitting at my Aunt's house tonight for Thanksgiving and sifting through the Walmart ad when I came upon their listing for the 9 packs they do every year around this time for $5. I noticed something in particular in the really small and grainy photo so decided to stop at a couple stores on my way home to see if I could find one. (BAD IDEA!) I found what I was looking for, but as someone that hates being around lots of people, going tonight was a really horrible decision.

Anyway, what I saw lead me to this:

Yep, the one on the left is from the 2013 World Race 5-pack, and the one on the right is from the 2014 Walmart exclusive holiday 9-packs. I noticed the silver wheels in the photo instead of the blue, so I went looking for it and as you can see it's a confirmed variation. Woot.

Also, found a regular 9-pack with the gold one:

@Cano PM incoming.

Have tracks rooted through the insides of your house*, along the walls and maybe even over-hanging transparent tracks. Bet place to locate the focal point is somewhere in the stairwell where you can peer down at certain parts.


*Ever watch George Shrinks?

Something to keep an eye out for.

Too bad my car payment, insurance, and rent are due all in the next week.

Awww.... man. I've shopped already, but I think I'm still gonna have to check it out. Is one at midnight or something, then maybe more(and lower price?) tomorrow? What do you know!? You must say!!

Thank you for the heads up, John.

Edit: So I've been checking Japan Booster's eBay store, Lamley Group page, also this thread, every few minutes for update. On Lamley page, while I'm looking for an update, there was a Japan Booster eBay banner thing? It was scrolling the items, when this came up. I bought it. I also picked this up for the free shipping.

Thanks again @jtl46 👍👍

Great buys! I need that first version of the ladder truck as well. And thanks for using the link.

I just updated the post on the Lamley Blog with a link to the sale items only. The TLV listed are 10% off, and there are some great models, including the Seibu Keisatsu Laurel/Gloria set that is one of my favorites. Here are the sale items:

Japan Booster Black Friday Sale

So grab what you can now, but don't pay, and then check back a little later when the damaged box sale starts. Cars are mint, boxes aren't, and JB will be selling most at 50% off the normal price. Some really good models too, like the Datsun Wagon.

If you have to purchase to reserve the sale items, just email them and they will combine. The free shipping is such a great deal.

That link doesn't work for me, John. Any idea when the next sale may start? I do want a shot at the Datsun wagon, but I'm afraid I'll miss it! Regardless, thanks again for great tip!

 

[Cano]

damaged box sale

Agh. Zero money to spend now.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Saw one chicane TH but other than that no new cars.
