Too bad about the Camaro, but that dinosaur transporter thing. :boggled:
It's not for me, it's for my youngest nephew. I swear. :lol:
Got home late. I don't remember JB boxes needing to be signed for in the past though. That would be the only reason they gave it to the office.
Could it have been unregistered or whatever they call that basic shipping without tracking? When I select that with AmiAmi, it's not insured, not trackable, but I don't have to sign for it. With EMS or any registered shipping, they seem to require signature, if they are from Japan.

Default free shipping as usual, nothing has changed since last time.
 
Not that I'm interested, but that dinosaur is removable according to the box. :D

*shrug*

Well a kitchen table is an interesting backdrop for sure but whatever...
:lol:👍

I was thinking about replicating one of John's shots. I have same exact cars with the exception of the Skyline(w/black rocker stripes), and that black I think Gloria. :D
Ah, IDx finally. 👍
I can't wait to check it out! :) Actually, I can. :P

Still think my kitchen table suggestion is better. :P Seriously, cool idea though. 👍

You are a much more patient person than I am. :lol: It's awesome anyway.

I've emailed the TTP seller asking for partial or full refund. It was listed new/mint, so I wasn't too impressed with two huge chips on the rear & also at the very top. :indiff:

Let us know how that goes. It really is too bad with the chips. Some of my nicer Kyosho holds some imperfections too. I know that feel bro.
 
Aurora's blingin' with those golden rims.

I still haven't opened it. Just in case you were wondering.

:P
I want that dino truck lol​
I ended up getting a paleontology lesson from his older brother(my other nephew). Good conversation piece, if you want to strike up a conversation some kid wanting to be a paleontologist whey they grow up. :lol:

Well, I'm generally used to factory imperfections? Like that Mail-in HW '56 Ford Truck that had much of the front paint missing, but it was still in the blister. I'd hate Mattel for stuff like that, but I'd be more accepting & likely won't blame the seller.

When you buy a loose car described as new & mint, then you have noticeable chips on the car, it definitely bothers me more. Seller was 100% honest about it(failed to look closely), agreed to a $10 refund I suggested, so I will be leaving him a positive feedback. 👍
Tell me how much you like that Seibu Keisatsu S30 Z-Car. Tell me.
 
AOS is from Canada. Canadian's know nothing about Auroras, let alone Oldsmobile(baiting Harry.... lol).
 
Finally an update on my Japan Booster package, in Mass now! Hadn't been updated since the 3rd at New York. Seems to be taking a bit longer than I thought it'd be.

Been wanting to pick up the thread organizers for some time. Bought these not realizing they were on sale for 50% off, so I picked up another one.

It would be better if it was a 240Z. Not really a fan of the 260, the rear is all scrunched, looks like it's been rear ended.

Edit: while I was out tonight I decided to purchase some muscle cars to balance out my JDM goodness from this morning. (yes the stang is blurry, shoot me.)
