^ I see those being sold online a lot of times. There's little demand for it. Like, you can probably get it for less than $7.

Cause they are ugly.

Hoh- easy there, buddy. What ever happened to that "don't talk trash" policy of yours?

More dirty cars from my display shelf! This time we have a Gun Slinger, a military Jeep based on the Grasshopper redline.

It looked like this when I puled it off the shelf, this one was indeed incredibly filthy:

Cleaning up this thing was horrible, it took me quite a whiiiile to get to all the creases and small unreachable places, specially in between the bullets it carries in the back, but in the end it recovered it's shine:

This thing is a terrible casting, but it has that certain unexplainable "old Hot Wheels" something that makes these early cars very cool.

Here are the bullets I mentioned earlier, which were a total bitch to get cleaned.

And here I'm just playing around with the machine gun to make this post even larger:

And thus another one comes back to decent life. And this is quite a good piece, as I understand it's pretty damn difficult to find with the gun and the windshield still there.

Guns blazing, eh?

All right, guys. Guns and Jeeps. Dig them out.

So I'm still waiting on a shipping notification for that big Greenlight order I placed last week. Went on one of the listings last night and checked to see if the seller listed a processing time. It says that he only ships one day a week, usually on Thursdays. Lame sauce.

True, the RE amemiya RX8 was not really the popular blind box model, Unlike the RE amemiya street RX7, which is ridiculously hard to find.

RX8, they have it in Green and Yellow.

For that, I'd get those RX-7 Itashas and repaint them. Saving those poor FDs while saving yourself money.

edit: As a friendly reminder, this exclusive beast is still taking preorders:

Preorders opened on the 17th, and it's still $14. This could see itself sitting at $20+ in the future market. *

Should order up soon if you want a matte black Bentley!


*There is the chance it won't have the demand I'm anticipating and will in fact sit for that price like the Aston LMP1 currently does for all I know.

G case dump bin? This showed up in the truck today. Hoping to stock it.

Hoping that's going to be the case with the Continental GT3. Doubt it though.

 

[AOS-]

I don't even want to guess. Other places I visit have a bunch of folks raving about the GT3, and that old one everyone here was raving about as well.

eBay is definitely not a place to be for several months following its release some time in March. I'm just hoping I get lucky and have DaBox announce a case arrival OR Japan Booster having it with reasonable buy-it-now prices. The Buy-It-Nows may not happen yet as that could possibly cause the potential profit to plateau with bidders, hence why I'm hoping DaBox will get them.

I just want the green Turbo R

Yeah, that's the one.

Hoping you could hook us up.

All small wheel error anyone?

 

[AOS-]

How about missing wheel?

I questioned its legitimacy several times. That blister is warped, but nothing looks like it has been tampered with.

I have the FD, in green.

And @AOS- I bought that black Kyosho 22B.

And it's actually metalflake black. I have fondess for metalflake colors.

 

[AOS-]

Nice. Show us your best shots later!


ebignorijp stuff:



Currently at $5.00. Didn't think the red would look this attractive. Must be the black wheels.



Currently at $15.50. Porsche Collection IV Secret.

Pics are links. Pick and click. Try and buy.

Highly doubt anyone would fake that error and return it to the store.

Missing wheels happen all the time.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Still waiting for the blue one, though...

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Was a E case dump bin. Had Beetle THs but no supers. Cases were 3 ET and 1 EU.

I hate you for having that FD. Welcome to my hate list, RCKakashi.

For a while...i was going through an itasha car phase.

Damn double post.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I still don't know how I got this 1968 custom camaro.


It is one of the original 16.

[Niku Driver HC]

Oh mah godness... I really want that Toyota, that is one gracious race car.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

My cars came today
Targa.

And the surprise.

A $5.00 250 GTO.
I'm gonna open both.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Get the HW Garage version of the Ferrari, it's totally worth it.

 

[AOS-]

250 GTO.

Ain't that special, but the New Models with their WSPs are the best!

Norev quality at its worst:



2014 Racing Retro

Sloped right eye, and bad posture.
