That's not bad, really.

Awesome stuff. I adore the hitch and tow series. Can't wait to see.

I'll try to get one up tonight. Won't be anything fancy, and no promises.

I can put my grubby paws on one of those right now if I wanted. Guy here at work has one on top of his cubical.

Lol. No worries. I don't need promises.

Also, this is a thing. And I kinda want it. A few of it.

Two boxes of Auto World Licenced Premiums on the way, should be here by the end of the week.

This weekend was my last for big purchases, not gonna happen again for a while.

I vaguely remember it. Lol. But I thought somebody made it. The fact it's widely available caught my attention

Went to go get some school supplies, came back with this:

Not bad for a Monday.

 

[Spacegoat]

I have to get this thing no matter the cost and I'll annoy the crap out of my dad to buy it.
He is a fan of this particular Toyota Crown and wagons

Not released until August, so you'll have plenty of time to annoy the crap out of him.

Haha... haha. Man, Spacegoat, you aren't helping.

Boy, this has to be one of the best TLV batch in years. Even the Prarie looks really nice, and I'd consider it as a purchase of mine.

The Prairie does look really nice. And I completely agree with you that this is an amazing batch of TLV's. Would have been more than satisfied with just the Silvia Silhouette but all the other good stuff too. Can't wait.

Ah, screw you. Also, that might also work as the reaction of Tomica once they finshed writing the lineup for the Shizuoka show.

Yeah, I agree. The more I look at that Prairie, the more I like it. Between blue and red, both are very pleasing cars to see. And they're not even that specially designed, they're just your classical square MPVs! But of course, the Nissan 2020, the Alfa and the many R35s are just the (ultimate) icing on the cake.

Ah yes, and the Silvia is the wasabi sauce; it's there to give you such a shock, that you'll faint after only a minor portion.

 

[CodeRedR51]

OH5 variation. So glad I stopped collecting these VHTF variations, no more stress!

Which Alfa? There's going to three of them! Which of course could mean spending more $$$$.

That bronco, and the explorer really stand out. Lovely lovely.

 

[Spacegoat]

Great display mate. 👍 Totally forgot about the Hitch & Tow Chev van w/flatbed trailer. I totally need to get that one at some point.

Now that's a great haul, literally. All around good stuff, my favourite has to be that SRT trailer. It even has a Charger to compliment it, now that's detail. The classic silver caravan and the Bronco are also good models. 👍

You need a custom Challenger drag car with the Bee drawing in the rear quarter to put inside that SRT trailer. You really do.

If you can find one that doesn't look like crap.

 

[Nvrrespected]

Walgreens coughed up a couple cool finds.

Ferrari Laferrari, and f12-
Both suffer from slight oversized rear wheel syndrome. I actually like the silver on the f12 better than red.

DMC 12 Delorean-
Was suprised to find this one. It's actually really awesome, and the casting is great. The 10 spokes, even fit it well.

I was talking about a new Challenger. Greenlight's casting is pretty solid.

Eh, it's an SRT trailer and there's a Charger SRT-8 in it, so it's fine.

I was so looking forward to this, but the horrible alignment of the door and the huge gaps around the front grille ruined it. And things like the mis-aligned white ring on the front tire are not acceptable to my OCD.

Some of you might be interested in this.

 

[Cano]

I saw those yesterday. Want. All of them. Specially the yellow Dodge COE. That thing is droolable.

 

[Ken]

Love that Ford Econoline. That's a must have for me.

Continuing my trend of actual 1/64 cars, a new achievement was unlocked today. I have now a trifecta of cars that belong to a certain brand...

More of those delicious pictures to come later.

And if you are wondering, yes, that is the 2015 Siku catalogue.

 

[Cano]

Very cool. I have that in black.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Very cool. I have that in black.

So there is a black version of that... Curses, I wish I had found that one as well, the black suits the Traction Avant quite like no other color.

Ah well, the cream/brown combo also works decently well, so no major loss to be had there. And I love the moving suicide doors, those are lovely.

Also, I've taken a look at my Siku 2015 catalogue, and there is some good stuff there. Not just the already existing models (Alfa 4C, I want thee), but the future additions; the KTM X-BOW GT, the Porsche Macan Turbo, the Fiat 500, the Bentley Conti V8 and the Porsche 918. Those are interesting models, if done right...

The black Traction Avant is amazing. Mine came with a small scratch out of the blister though.
Siku make really nice models of older cars. The VW Karmann Ghia and the MB 300sl are really nice.

Well, just about everyone has a black Siku Traction Avant but me, no wonder you're the veterans here.

But yes, Siku's old cars have good charisma; I did think of bringing the white-with-red-stripes Merc 300SL, but I eventually settled with the good ol'Arrastadeira (that's we call it in Portugal, FYI) instead. Of course, the other I really enjoy about Siku are their blisters; no need to rip a hole in them when they are so easy to open (and close). Really neat design, more companies should follow that idea. 👍

 

[Apok]

Keep it up and you'll soon have more Siku's than me. They're not really carried in stores here anymore.



Unless I buy more older ones which, as a bonus, might make Cano jelly.
