Don't tell me you took the Vantage's wheels. Tell me it's the Zagato. Anything but the Vantage!







2013 Aston Martin Minicar Collection
Vanquish



Here's the set, minus the Karuwaza I've yet to find.



As always, click for the big lick.

in case you didn't figure it out already



 
Well, my TLV Idemitsu tank truck's gone. One of those international broker/reship service paid me top money for it on eBay. Only problem is, they are known to sometime blame you for damage incurred during international shipping, even though you only agreed to ship it to a domestic address.

I asked them to cancel the transaction, no response. Today, I received a PayPal payment, so I wrote to them again. This time, I told them that since they sent me a payment instead of reply, I'm going to assume that we do have an understanding. I'm shipping to California. They are going to open it, repackage it, then send to Japan, Korea or whatever. My responsibility for safe delivery ends in Cali. God, they are frustrating to deal with. Also, blaming the original domestic seller for international shipping damage is dishonest in my book. :rolleyes:
:D

Sweet TLV Bluebirds by the way, love the colours. 👍
Color of the Estate is called "$$$". But I had to have it. :D
I posted a couple of months ago about all those Star Wars vehicles.
I checked Walmart today. No two-pack whatsoever. :crazy:
Went out to the Dollarama today and got this off Andy.
My favorite car in there is the Hershey's. Mmmm......
He turned up his nose but I said it was for my nephew.

I know what you did there. :lol:
Greenlight Hitch & Tow Dodge Monaco and Airstream arrived. Really impressed with both pieces.
Sweet, dude. :drool:👍 For a second, I was like, "MUST HAVE". I forgot I do have one coming. :lol: Glad to hear about the quality. I've wanted Hot Wheels Airstream for while now, but they are expensive & I could never workout the timing. It'll be very cool to finally be able to add something similar to the collection. :)
Liking the looks of the Tomicarama (?) too. 👍
I love my Shell set, but Jarrod's super cool, too. Love that vintage throwback goodness colors.

Yeah, definitely agree. Hopefully my 2nd Tomica product I buy will be a Tomicarama.

Do I really need to mention the first? :crazy:
 
That last pic really makes the Suzuki look like its Power Wheels size. :lol:
Every time someone talks about getting a vintage cars of that size(Mini, original Civic, etc.), I always joke about how the cyclist hit by the car was OK, but the driver was instantly killed. :lol:

Almost sounds like a Smart car.
 
Newer cars are probably pretty safe. Old cars, even big cars, I've had no faith in after seeing this video(and this is a FULL size car!).

I remember that from a few years ago. Pretty decent way to show how far automotive safety has come.

Yeah, they don't fly, but I do feel pretty safe in them.
Had that been a '66 Nova.... ohhhh hohohohhhh



Welp, Galaxies are cool too... I suppose.
I've always liked Novas. Starting to like Galaxies.
 
For a second, I was like, "MUST HAVE". I forgot I do have one coming. :lol:

Again, not saying a word. :P :lol:
Love that vintage throwback goodness colors.

Yep, that's what sold it to me. Was going back and forth between that and the Bayside Motors one which @jtl46 has. They're essentially the exact same set but the colours give the used car lot a real sort of retro look. Couldn't say no.
AmiAmi Package:

When did this happen? Awesome stuff but curse you, think I need a Fronte in my collection now. :embarrassed:

Right on, nice pick. 👍

I never even considered this car before, but I guess I was just in the mood. And you know I adore tiny TLVs(Honda T360, Alto). After Johnny mentioned its size, I SO wished again TLV made the original Mini Cooper. Oh my god, they would be so sweet. :drool:

A Smart Fortwo crumples less than that.



edit: @R1600Turbo I've already got an order with some guy, do you want a Mazda 787B Renown (Rotary Club Minicar Series; not the Beads) for $31? Or the Karuwaza version for that matter?

Kyosho 1:64 - Aston Martin Vanquish

First, I put on the Vanquish's low profile tire rubber on the Rapide's, since the Rapide has high profile tires that can fit the Vanquish's wheel arches, but won't be able to roll.

After that, wheel swap has performed. :D

That turned out to be a really good idea, that wheel swap. I don't always think that, but you managed to make it work. Now the Vanquish looks even better (if that was ever possible) and you have your own special Aston Martin. Great job, Kakashi. :)👍

Opened that Black Bandit 1966 Ford Galaxie 500




AmiAmi Package:


Tomica Limited Vintage LV-Ra05 Nissan Cedric Bunka Housou(Cultural Broadcast) Topicar(must be Japangrish :crazy:)



Finally, here it is @Johnny1996 LV-107a Suzuki Fronte SSS 360




Transformer Choro Q Lancia's cool, but I'm not opening it, so here.

Having a black and badass Galaxy wasn't enough for you? You just had to get an orange Fronte (another TLV car I've been eyeing as a first purchase), didn't you!? That Suzuki must be stupid small, but look at how cute it is! And the orange body is just icing on the cake, great buy overall. It must also be one of the smallest TLV cars in the entire range, no? Just look at it, compared to those "big" muscle cars... :drool:👍

And yes, Topicar sounds like either a bad travel agency name or even worst Eigo-Nihon language. :lol:

Speaking of Fronte's, i'm finding this later model Konami one quite appealing.

I may have to get one of these..

And do this to it. :lol:

Suzuki-Fronte-Coupe-09.jpg

Is it wrong for me to say that I would love to see one of thse racing Cervos/Frontes as a diecast? That car looks bonkers, it's like one of them Japanese gang cars after you washed them and shrunk them by accident... :lol:

And the stock Konami car looks cool too, I'm not so sure about the wheels though. But that might be me being picky.

2013 Kyosho 1:64 models are now bolted by screws instead of rivets, making them easier to mod.

Great find. It would look good stock or custom!(one of my favorite kei cars)
Found that green Beads KPGC110 Racing. Zero bids, 1000JPY. Auction ends in 4 days. This a chance you ought to take, Kenmeri fans. I got an eye on another item from the same seller so I can do an order on that too.

http://www.jauce.com/auction/g142931798
I've been wanting that one, but how much will it cost in fees, plus I figure two shipping, maybe three?(domestic shipping inside Japan, Japan to Canada, Canada to U.S.).
Having a black and badass Galaxy wasn't enough for you?
What I got in the mail today:

@Spacegoat ^^^There is your clue on the secret TLV Bluebird^^^ :P






Auto World 2013 Toy Fair Dodge Challenger Wide Body 1/64




I guess it wasn't enough afterall. :crazy:

Engrish is strong with the TLV.
