Got in the Kyosho spirit on Lamley and put up the 911 RSR Turbo:

It is just more fun showing cars like Kyosho, TLV, and even Greenlight and Auto World on the blog. There will be a lot more of that in the upcoming year.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Auto Worlds would be nice.......if we could actually purchase them. (not online)

 

[ScottPuss20]

Where was that : O

Charlies Car Museum Arthur's Seat

Yeah I don't see a point in going after the Venenos or Huracans for the time being. That Karuwaza LMP though. I've never went after it even though it's not in huge demand. How much id you score it for? $15 or so?

179 HK$ = 23 USD

179 HK$ = 23 USD

Ouch dude. I've seen them go for lower several times. Here's the current one on eBay at the moment, and this seller generally marks his prices higher than other competing Kyosho sellers.

Here's a 22b Impreza y'all should aim for: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111563620184

 

[RCKakashi14]

One goes to Daboxtoys because they have the item, not on the price...

Too bad, not even that 22b popped up in that store.

 

[Johnny1996]

Just came back from a failed trip again. Just like the last time, it wasn't too bad this time either since I found a 1:24 '64 GTO kit. I'll obviously have that posted somewhere other than here.

Went to Wal Mart today and got probably the biggest "peg warmer" I have ever bought. Hot Wheels come and go from my local Wal Mart everyday, but this Boulevard has somehow been sitting on the pegs since release and wasn't bought until now. How does that even happen?



There was a Ford Gangster Grin that had been there about as long and it didn't get gone until recently. Why can't wheel donors be like this?

And 3 personal favorites of mine that I used to love back in the days of 2006.



I think that is the first time I have bought them since.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Power. Beauty. Soul.

I went looking around a bit today. Right off the bat, I found these two:

Greenlight Country Roads 2014 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X + 1968 Chevrolet C10 Pickup Truck


It felt promising, I visited few more stores. The. End. No, really. That's all I found.

Oh, here's more pic of the Greenlight & also the CM's Ford Focus Rally cars I picked up in the mail.








We love CM's, but their wheels can be horrible, ya? Exceptional job this time around.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Did your Jeep end up with a bent left rear axle? Or a weird wheel? It looks packaged similar to mine. I have another one on the way.

 

[Johnny1996]

@a6m5: Loving the C10.

 

[AOS-]

also the CM's Ford Focus Rally cars I picked up in the mail.

That syou_________ dude is struggling to get rid of his inventory he's reduced the price on the set to $7. That's a really good deal. I remember paying much more for that set when I bought from him before.

Looks like a drive down to Dromana is in order for me haha

Axles look fine. Right rear wheel does have tiny tiny bit of spot where they missed the silver paint, but other than that, it looks perfect.

@a6m5: Loving the C10.

The toolbox, amirite.

I got it for $7.99($20, shipped), so I'm happy!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Saw two c cases in the truck I unloaded today. Does the C case have the ferrari 599xx super?

 

[Johnny1996]

I didn't even notice it until now, but I'd buy another one of those C10s just for the toolbox itself.

 

[AOS-]

omg. Too many secrets in one listing!

C case is the AE86. The 599XXX is in the D case.

Don't you become one of those Walmart employees all of us live to hate.

 

[Spacegoat]

Tempted by a few kyosho's.

Same. I was this close to picking up something from Japan Booster on an impulse earlier today but think I'm going to hold off until those Nissan's are released later this month, do want a RS-X.

& also the CM's Ford Focus Rally cars I picked up in the mail.

Ugh damn you. That C10 too, didn't notice the toolbox at first, awesome touch. 👍

I am going to trade you one of them for the car in your avatar.

Please?

Speaking of Walmart employees, the Walmart I was at earlier didn't have any M2s on the shelves. There was an employee nearby, so I asked if they could tell me when they'd be restocking the shelves. The answer was "once the shelves are almost empty." Yet the shelves were empty. And I did specifically say "M2 cars".

 

[Ken]

I just realized that I'm actually becoming somewhat knowledgeable in the world of diecast.

Well, at least Hot Wheels.

I've had the same problem at my local stores. It's been the same cars for seemingly months. Some stores are completely out of stock and have been for weeks. I've seen a few stores get in new Hi-Way Haulers, but that's it. I'm really looking forward to a new shipment.

Deal, I'll happily trade you a picture for a model car.

But in case you forgot. 👍

There's been times when I've found a handful of '90s cars at Walmart. That was before I was a member here. Then there's cars I've seen from 2013 B case in stores for ages.

Gotdamn That's one CM's I need to find.

I just ran across the most recent K Day exclusive colored cars at a Walmart two days ago. I know that they come from returns and such. But it just goes to show you, you never truly know what you're going to find at Walmart.

Yes, GotBeefBoy, I said K Day.

I once found a TRU exclusive at Walmart.

It was kinda funny though, because when I was going through the dump bin where the car was and mentioned it to my mom, a passing by employee got an "oooohh 🤬" look.
