The Autozam was very tempting.

Aaaaaand, my Nismo GT-R package says "processed at delivery Post Office" so I'm wondering if I'll get it today.

Edit: Just tracked it again, says it's at the post office under "retention". Just did a google search since I have no idea what that means, and I guess it means it's waiting for me to go pick it up. Why the hell they would do that instead of delivering it I have no idea. But since they close at 5 and I get off at 6, looks like GT-R goodness will have to wait until Saturday morning.

Took some pics of the car i received from Japan the other day.

Gotdamn those sculpted fenders are CLEAAAN.

Also, finally someone bought the Cappuccinos. I could've done it, but I didn't add to the dead-end collection if I could help it.

 

[Spacegoat]

Oh dear if the Fronte wasn't bad enough, a cappuccino too? Awesome scores, curse you. 👍

@Nessy - I'd give you ten "likes" per post for the Konami & Aoshima if I could. 👍👍 Totally unique, and the beautiful TLV 911 project car is icing on the cake. Great couple of posts!

Order placed for:

This, this, this, this, this, this, this and this.

All solid. 👍

Edit: Good and bad for me this afternoon.

Good - I got invoice for my AmiAmi order containing 11 items(8 Choro-Qs & 3 Tomicas). Shipping was $13.36 U.S. I think that may be cheaper than domestic shipping. AmiAmi shipping rocks. Japan Booster, well, TLVs they ship for free(over $50). 👍

Bad - Few days ago, I mentioned little problem with the TTP seller. I was repeat customer, he had misleading add which led to cancellation of one item, then he requested I pay for the re-listing fee, I wasn't impressed with that. I received the two cars today & one blister had some, and I'm sorry to gross you out, but certain type of bodily hair on it.

I just went thru hazmat cleaning to get all the hair off, cut the cars out of the packaging(literally 'rescuing' cars from cards), then stuffing everything else in the garbage bag. I was gonna block this seller after this transaction anyway, but that is 🤬 gross.

I'd give him a mouthful so he learns to practice decent customer service.
People shouldn't be allowed to get away with lousy behaviour for free.

I hear you, but last thing I want is to go on a back & forth with some monkey. I almost feel sorry for people who's obviously a sore loser to start with, then the final conclusion, or solution is...... that. He only proved something to himself, and if he's content with that, well, that's pretty tragic.

I'd write what I believe ought to be said to make this guy realize what kind of scum he is, then never respond back. Back & forth averted. What's this seller's name anyway?

I'll PM you the name.

 

[AOS-]

Thanks. *prepares a padded envelope filled with unspeakable contents*

I'll be on my way, but let me leave you with something:

2014 Matchbox 4x4 Scrambulance

Cute little truck. Little-boy "cool" appeal, but the proportions are cute nevertheless.

And if that wasn't cute for you, get a load of this:

Found it in one of our dying Target stores. The tampo's all messed up! Haven't seen posted errors in a while.

 

[yabiggoose]

Give that seller some poo

By poo I obviously mean Price Of Oil.

 

[Spacegoat]

I got invoice for my AmiAmi

Ah, I was just going to ask if you've got your invoice yet. I paid for my order this morning. Can't wait to get my hands on the Datsun truck. Also, the less said about that TTP seller the better.

 

[a6m5]

@AOS- That Scrambulance's pretty well detailed for a mainline. I like it, too.

Price of oil would ruin anyone's day these days.

You keep mentioning that Datsun truck. I'm so jealous!

Also, the less said about that TTP seller the better.

As I was opening the box, I was kind of suspicious(I guess I'm pretty paranoid). I observed the contents closely as I pulled the items out of the box & boy was that smart. He made an ass of himself, I didn't touch nothing. I WIN.

Edit: SO glad both cars were carded. *sigh of relief*

Possibly a clue?

Have I been? Apologies. Big thanks again for shooting me the link to the Tomica Landcruiser pre-order, really glad I was able to grab one in time. 👍

Indeed.

That Land Cruiser sure look sweet. Especially for a mainline!

Indeed.

Here they are!

Johnny Lightning Hummer(red is new, yellow is old)


Hot Wheels Racing Oldsmobile Aurora for future wheel-swap(don't know which's the new lol). I like these wheels so much, I bought a second set.


Earlier this week, I received red Miura & red Porsche 917K. Here they are matched up with the old Miura(yellow) & 917K(Gulf). @AOS- In this pic, you can see the better headlight treatment of the Gulf.




I think the yellow Miura is from the Jay Leno series.

 

[yabiggoose]

The wheels on that oldsmobile race-car are pretty damn cool.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Hot wheels club is here again will be going at 8:30 am. That's where I got the VW Drag truck. This time I'll look at more tables and see what they have. Hopefully I'll find some great stuff, hopefully a Drag bus this time.

 

[Daniel008]

 

[yabiggoose]

Ooh that JL VW looks pretty cool from what I can see.

 

[AOS-]

@a6m5 Much more noice.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Stuff from the clubAreostar, Range Rover,F40, testarosa.

Mini.
Summit Camaro error.


Packard TH short card. And mail truck.

Motor home TH and the Avanti TH.
My best buy there a orange She'll perterbilt.

I'm gonna open it.

 

[yabiggoose]

That range rover looks cool.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Nismo's have officially arrived.

No pics, busy. You've seen them anyway.

 

[Spacegoat]

Really does. Best looking Tomica mainline since the Suzuki Swift rally car, maybe?

Oh and my order has been shipped.

What brand are those Porsches and where did you get them?

 

[a6m5]

@a6m5 Much more noice.

Painted headlamp inside clear plastic lens. Sort of rare method for Mattel, don't you think?

Oh and my order has been shipped.

Mine, too. 👍 I also had accidental order that arrived today containing one Choro-Q & one TLV(took 3 effing weeks). I'll share them on here later!

What brand are those Porsches and where did you get them?

They are both Hot Wheels. I got both on TTP(not one 917K on there now though). Red is from the Black Box/100% series, and the Gulf I believe is from a three car set. All three in the set are Porsches, and while I purchased them loose, I think I also have the 911 from the same set. You can probably find them on eBay.

That's real noice in that case.


OT: Australians, do you guys tend to pronounce "Nike" as "nihk"?

Choro-Q Transformers Prowl(280Z) + Tomica Limited Vintage LV-N71a Volkswagen Golf II CLi

​

Not sure what's going on with the passenger side(RH) side moulding. It's all black to naked eye, but you see white spots in the pics.

That's real noice in that case.

Opposite to what they did with the red 917K.
