"Accumulated total" on certain items....this accumulation included many Hot Wheels.

Oh.
Well yeah, I wouldn't pay too much on something in fear of not getting an opportunity to buy it again.

Just saw this and immediately have it reserved:

Need to gather some funds first.

Welcome to the Vanquish Club





2013 Aston Martin Minicar Collection
Vanquish






​

 

[RCKakashi14]

The first of the two Aston Martins that I bought for this week - Suntory Boss Coffee 007 James Bond Collection: Aston Martin V8 Vantage:

And also, along with that Vanquish, there are also other new Kyoshos in that store too, mostly Subarus (fancy a dark green Alcyone SVX?) and the recent Toyota boxset models.

Come on! SRSLY!

Sweet TLV Bluebirds by the way, love the colours. 👍

I posted a couple of months ago about all those Star Wars vehicles.

Who are fans of the Alcyone?

Does the place where you shop have a website?

It doesn't, and the item is more of a consigned one. It comes and goes without notice.

I have a store like that nearby - he gets lots of odd stuff, comes and goes, no consistent supply of anything. Git a nice Veyron and Ferrari 1:43 remote-controlled cars once. Never gets die-casts, though, though i've told him many times to source some.

Went out to the Dollarama today and got this off Andy. He turned up his nose but I said it was for my nephew.

 

[yabiggoose]

Got two Kyosho Beads on the way

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Probably won't buy anything until K day then I'll go to the hobby shop after K day since I don't have to work that Saturday.

See, I had taken that RX-7 and hid it somewhere else in the store. This guy managed to sniff it out anyway so it totally caught me off guard. Hmmph.

@SVX , spend!

SVX, spend!

I'm a bad person. Hitting triple digits and all.

I'm a bad person.

No you're not.

You bought nice cars 👍

To think, I was out looking for the Citroen DS3 lineup, and ended up skipping two of them for really good prices. The DS3 is an attractive modern rally car right now, but I haven't seen one photo with an attractive shot of the Norev casting's front bumper. There's several cool liveries, but if I'm learning from my mistakes, I can't let that alone overrule casting quality.

 

[R5]

Yeah, I've seen the bumper, and the front grill which is a solid block was an instant turnoff.

Kyosho I'm taking it being?

Don't even need to ask me twice.

 

[R5]

Or once for that matter

It's amazing the good finds that are occasionally found in the Dollarama stores. Quite often I'll find something I was looking for and couldn't get from one of the big boxes. I don't like the mark-up, though - I can get the same stuff - if found at the big-boxes - for a lot less.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Found the Homer with rubber tires at a Meijer. Was the only one there.

Then went to a Walmart and found three candy cars.

dove, Milky Way and snickers.

I agree. The mark up isn't so bad though. It's either going to be $1.25 or $1.50. Considering the major competition (Walmart) has them for $1.37, Dollarama likely couldn't go any lower, because Walmart and how low they can go with their prices. About 2 years ago, it was $2 per. Now that was questionable pricing.

Update on the Vanquish. Just got it hours after the reservation, after I was able to meet up with buyers of some of my extra Kyoshos I put up on sale last week.

At least I didn't go through the day broke and hungry.


And I did a quick wheel swap on it.

 

[Spacegoat]

Greenlight Hitch & Tow Dodge Monaco and Airstream arrived. Really impressed with both pieces.

Edit: The original photo came out a little dark, so here's a slightly better one.

Not a day after I said I wouldn't find the C-3PO and R2-D2 character cars, I found them at the Walmart near my work.

The end of this month needs to come sooner, can't wait for the Nismo GT-R's.

Hint: The wheels are from another Aston Martin.
