I've got a place near me with Siku that has the 4C lol

Wow I think I have to make Japan Booster my first choice for any eBay Kyoshos from now on.

Flat-rate shipping and arrives in less than a week.

The local Toyworld here sells Siku's. Don't know if they have the 4C though because I rarely go there any more. Overpriced and they never update their stock. Still got 2012 HW's on the pegs.

So the seller with the package that went to the wrong city and then ended up having two incorrect cars in it sent me the correct 1968 Charger I ordered today free of charge. Guess I get to keep the 2014 model. In any case, I let him know that he needs to change the photo for the GT500 listing so it doesn't show black wheels. Lots of people like myself could get upset expecting one thing and receiving another.

Tis indeed Toy World lol, though this one barely has any Hot Wheels.

Lots of Siku though...

Kyosho Blind Box pick for today:

 

[CodeRedR51]

Another box came in. The white cars are each 1 of 1,000 produced.

And I think this car is quite possibly the best modern car Greenlight has produced so far.

Does anyone know what these are?

2007 CM's SS.13 Lancia Stratos Special
HF 1975 Monte Carlo





Pretty plain, but it does distinguish itself from the 2006 release 1975 Sanremo:




Speaking from the Monte Carlo's perspective, the wing isn't attached, the piece that wraps over the roof doesn't exist, the front lamps are shaded in, and the wheel molds have been improved.

CM's SS.13 Lancia Stratos Special
HF 1975 Sanremo​

Proportions a bit off or is it just me?

 

[AOS-]

I'd be able to understand you better if you could be a bit more specific where the proportions look off.

The rear looks too wide. (Maybe the camera angle is tripping me off.)

 

[AOS-]

Hmm. Do you think that might be because the rear wing isn't present? Perhaps it looks like the fender size is giving off some misleading illusion?

At first glance? They look like Micro Machines Monster Trucks. I have a few - similar.

yabiggoose - if I know Siku, you must be enjoying the build quality.

The casting is called Gulch Stepper, those are early 90s releases, around 1991-92.

@yabiggoose I'd rock the Alfa 👍

Illusion? I think so.

It's not like grey-wheels Lesneys fall off trees, specially in flea markets for chump change. This thing is from like 1964 or so. Restore or customize or leave alone?

Resto for sure.

Forgot to mention that I bought the GL Dodge Monaco with Airstream from the Hitch & Tow series from the eBays yesterday. Got an email this morning saying that it's been shipped already. Goody.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Orange stuff is my main apartment lights I forgot to turn off before snapping the pic. Oops.

Car is a 1965 Dodge Coronet 426.

MASSSSSIVE want. Pre-muscle era Mopars are droolable.

Checked and confirmed and proof positive. 👍

Tough call. No wonder even you couldn't make up your mind.
But what would it be worth as an investment? Obviously a lot if one finds a collector who wants that in their collection.
What about restored? Unless restored very well, it would actually lose value - sometimes it is that 'older' condition that some collectors treasure.
Should we customise?
Then there - you're paying the price. There may be a lot of valid reasons to customize - for a competition for instance.

So there - I know you were just picking our brains - hope that helps to confuse you further.
Or - send it to me, and the problem will be out of your hands. I promise to take good care of it.
