double post, sorry

 

[Cano]

I have to say, i quite like looking up from my computer chair




No where near finished either.

Cool.

One day. But I'd need my own room for that lol.

The BRZ has just arrived in the store. It will hit major toy stores soon, though...

That reminds me that I still to get the AE86 with the white hood. One of these days.

Remember that digital pocket with a hole in it? Yeah, the money fell out and then some...

• Kyosho Subaru Legacy Rs #8 Minicar Collection Japan 2014
• TLV ISUZU BELLETT 1600 GT 1969 (Green)
• TLV NISSAN FAIRLADY 280Z-T 2BY2 Gray/Black
• TLV NEO SEIBU KEISATSU VOL.11 NISSAN FAIRLADY Z 2BY2
• TLV MAZDA LUCE ROTARY COUPE (Yellow)
• TLV NISSAN SKYLINE 2000RS TURBO 83s'

My Christmas to you indeed. Awesome purchases. 👍 Especially the 280Z, great model that one.

 

[Avalonbug]

So, I got myself a nice little group of cars from an old friend of mine.

2 mainlines:

An old Hot Wheels bulldozer:

2 Superfast Lotus Europas and a Double Decker bus:

AND a Lotus Espirit and a Pillsbury van:

 

[Cano]

Yeah that was indeed a great haul! How much?

 

[MedigoFlame]

Mastretta's a Super T-Hunt.

And better pics of the M4.

Edit: Anyone know a good place for some reasonable pricing on Greenlights? Looking to get stock cars like the Ford Fusion, Escape, Fiesta, and Explorer. (Not the police car or the public works of recent)

 

[Ken]

I like the choice of the Mastretta. Also, a new recolor of the Civic in the Hot Wheels line.

 

[AOS-]

And better pics of the M4.

Do you guys think this will push the 2010 M3 to be more primarily found in 5-pack/multipack exclusives from now on? Notice how the Aventador J pushed its hardtop into a 5-pack, and how the hardtop pushed the Revenont and its roadster to multi-packs?

 

[CodeRedR51]

The Civic color combo is horrible.

 

[Cano]

The Mastretta is absolutely revolting.

 

[yabiggoose]

Never been a huge fan of the Mastretta both IRL and hot wheels..

 

[CodeRedR51]

The Mastretta is absolutely revolting.

The one in the package isn't terrible, but I wonder why the loose one has red rims instead of chrome like the other one.

Also:

Me neither(I never bought one), but as far as the $TH version go, what's so bad about it, @Cano? It look alright to me..... Civic, too. @R1600Turbo you should start collecting hot wheels before TLV make you go bankrupt. j/k

I fear I may be stuck with my Bluebird Wagons because I won't sell them for less than $80 and nobody will pay that. Somone offered me $20 for the Datsun 620's and I laughed at him, same with the R34's. Nobody wants the Celicas, FR-S's, Titans or Infiniti G37's at my asking price either, so looks like I am hanging on to them for a while.

In real life it is actually surprisingly good and fast. I know the creator of the thing, I've rode shotgun in one driven in anger, and I can attest it'll run on par with a Lotus Exige on street tires, and will chew it and spit it off in semislicks like the ones the Lotus uses. Until it breaks down of course.

as far as the $TH version go, what's so bad about it, @Cano? It look alright to me.....

The classic case of "look, let's just put the most generic wheels on it! as long as it has rubber tires all the idiots will go after it!" *Slaps muscle-car wheels on a modern car*

Disgusting.

 

[CodeRedR51]

To be fair Hot Wheels doesn't really have any "modern" wheels with rubber tires.

 

[ux2]

Came across this old relic in a box while looking for something in the garage, it's a Husky.
Recall countless playtime hours with this in hand.

Ah, nostalgia.​

​

 

[Avalonbug]

@Cano The haul was only about $30 total, since I know him well. Plus, they are all loose.

 

[AOS-]

"$1 car."

The Mastretta is absolutely revolting.

"$1 car."

Honestly, it would be nice if Mattel spent the time to make at least one set of real riders inspired by wheels suitable for modern European/Japanese sports cars. RR10SP can only be used for so long.

Woo!

Woo! Customs!

Woo! Details!

 

[Spacegoat]

Remember a few days ago when I mentioned that I seriously doubted my order from amiami would arrive before the new year? Well scratch that because it came. IDx is freakin cool.

This is so stupid.

So I've got an Australian, a Malaysian, a Thai and now a Mexican all coming after me for apparently-absent deliveries. That's BS.

How do other international sellers manage this kind of stuff and avoid these awful people? I'm not only losing money on the shipping, but all the money I spent to buy those cars in the first place (never mind any net gain I made from any items).

 

[Ameer67]

A huge box of kids toys was given to us today. So, I decided to see if there were any goodies...

A combination of HW, MB, and Maisto. They need work. Badly.

 

[a6m5]

Woo! Details!

Love the fire engine.

IDx is freakin cool.

It looks amazing. Well done broseph. 👍

Global. Shipping. Program.

Yes, crazy fees for the buyers, blah blah blah, but slow deliveries, damage in transit, it's on global shipping program. Having said that, since you have to ship the item(s) to Kentucky, I bet this service is only available in the U.S. So sorry. Thanks for playing.

They need work. Badly.

Blue Shelby Mustang thing looks cool, but yeah, they've been played with. Little bit.

 

[AOS-]

I may be seeing this too simplistically, but if I can buy from 100 different sellers and only have one item lost, how can that possibly factor in to one seller not having 4 of his deliveries be successful? Something doesn't even add up (if I have to assume all buyers are innocent and honest)...

I'm going to have to persuade some of my buyers in waiting later into January, because the most plausible reason for such long delays is bound to be because of this month and that's all I can ride on now.



===========

edit: Quick fix for that light blue Civic EF: Swap in white 10SPs.

 

[Spacegoat]

It looks amazing. Well done broseph. 👍

Thanks and you were right the IDx was definitely worth it. So good. 👍

 

[yabiggoose]

Waiting for an eBay seller to give me a total on 3 items then I'll post a pic of what I'm getting from them

 

[a6m5]

I made a mistake. It was rare, so I bought it.

Bimmer for my nephew.

Not to keep Jarrod waiting, opened this one today:

Tomica Limited Vintage LV-N50a Isuzu Gemini ZZ/R



Nice casting. Clean & kinda fun. 👍

I agree Andy, I find it ridiculous, too. Even if those buyers were dishonest, what are the odds? If I were you, from now on, pad the international shipping, insure everything.

I'll agree with you, sometime next year.

This is too easy: Kyosho. No, Auto World. TLV? CM's. It's CM's.

Partially right

That is the most awesome thing posted in this thread in a real while. Very cool and in great shape! I don't even want to think how much that is worth today. Great stuff 👍

$30! Sorry bud you got scammed by about $10. At least they're in good condition.

To be fair Hot Wheels doesn't really have any "modern" wheels with rubber tires.

That's the point. If you don't have any wheels to put under modern cars, why then insist in bringing out rubber-tired modern cars if they look like crap? But of course, "ZOMG $TH", and people are absolutely incapable of seeing the difference, too. It's kinda, if it has rubber, it doesn't really matter what wheels are there, it's revolting, from a production to a collector standpoint.

Honestly, it would be nice if Mattel spent the time to make at least one set of real riders inspired by wheels suitable for modern European/Japanese sports cars. RR10SP can only be used for so long.

Precisely. Also:

and now a Mexican

Enjoy.

I'd keep the 34 Ford and the T-Totaller as are.

I was thinking, I pick up hauls like that for 50p...
