Latest TLV pre-orders. These aren't until December and January but my wallet is already wincing in pain.

Nissan 2020 Concept, a sweet Audi 80 patrol car and four Alfa Romeo's!

I have no idea what color to get for the Vision GT! Wish they had the purple...

 

[Spacegoat]

those Euro cars are still great stuff.

The Audi's were a real surprise! Hadn't seen or heard anything about those before.

If only my wallet would agree with this plan...

Indeed.

To try and minimise the pain. I just went with one of each. VGT in red, Audi patrol car and maybe (haven't decided yet) the green Alfa for something a little different.

Speaking of pre-orders, AmiAmi sent me payment requests for two cars this morning. They have to be paid by the 17th and that's the day I'll pay. Too much going on right now.

Paid for my order last night. Caught me by surprise that it came in so soon. Was not expecting it for at least another week or so.

I have no idea what color to get for the Vision GT! Wish they had the purple...

No neither did I. It would be easier to choose if they a image of a finished prototype or something. Ended up going for red because I thought it might be more interesting then grey. Purple would have been real nice though.

Edit: And just like that we have an insider photo of the first 2016 Super TH - because Mattel shady employees.

Uggh why gold. Ruin a perfectly good car with gold. I'll still buy it. But whyyy.

Anyway.

M2 1955 Dodge Royal Lancer -
This is so gorgeous. Lovely purple, and it screams 50s style. The hood opens as well, but has no engine detailing. Just bllack.

Does anyone know how to combine existing purchases on AmiAmi's website? I have two preorders awaiting payment, but also want to add another item and have them all shipped together and cannot figure out how to do it.

That was a fantastic grab for $17. Altough the $500 estimate is waaaaay up. Try here:

Still, excelent piece, you're indeed waaaaaaay ahead oif what you paid for it 👍 where did you get it?

It actually came from an antique store. I bought a mint GT40 as well for $18. There were like 20 others that were all pretty much perfect in the boxes and really cheap including a white convertible that's quite valuable. I should've bought them all. Went back to get more another time and they were ALL gone. One guy bought them all.

Though I found out the truck isn't the $500 one. The $500 version is a little larger than mine.

A couple years ago I bought all of these kinda together. These first:

A week later, these:

And a week later, this and others that I haven't photographed yet.

I still owe @jtl46 a writeup on that one ):

Altough not nearly as valuable as what @mustang fanatic missed, they also were not nearly as expensive (:

Hotwheels does really know how to make money. In the whole box, there's only 1 of these.

I've never had two orders going at the same time but aren't you able to combine them through the "combine orders" link on your account page? Short of that, I suppose you could always customer service or something?

Edit: Sadly I think you might be out of luck?

You know what I'm feelin? Those sexy little 60s f1 cars in the second picture, along with those super fast trailers.

MBX Toyota Tacoma -
I'd like a stock version of this, but this is still really cool. I like Toyota trucks alot, and this is a pretty unique one.
MBX Ford f350 superlift -
Hmmm. It's cool, but it's not amazing. There's a cool feature I like though.

Much better. Yea you can take the external cage off. It's Not perfect like this, due to the restrained body width and fenders cut off for the cage , but it looks good still.

All of them super-duper-stupid-rare made in Mexico Politoys/McGregor cars. 👍

Oh jeez, that Lesney Holden ute is Minty with a capital M. Curse you Cano, great stuff. 👍

And I still remember your post where you bought a lot of 400 cars or something silly like that.

I picked these up yesterday. Walmart had K and L case dump bins, but there were no treasure hunts or any of the Escorts at all. I also picked up a Cobra mystery model for my Ford/Shelby collection.

I think that's the best looking color scheme the Cobra has ever had, real or model.

A couple of flea market finds:

Also finally found the NSX and RS1600!

 

[Cano]

Duuuude great fleamarket stuff! I'll buy that RS200 right off you!

 

[DurWinning]

Like Cano said above me, great finds. Really jealous of that RS200. Mind if I ask how much you paid for it?

 

[Spacegoat]

A couple of flea market finds:

Again, sweet finds. I've never seen a red RS200 before. Very cool. 👍

 

[MedigoFlame]

Got it loose along with the Matchbox RX-7 and the Matchbox Rover Sterling for $1. How much do they go for? >_>

No clue. But that sounds like a steal at $1.

Hmm, thanks. The car I wanted to add isn't released until "mid-July" so hopefully they have it this week and then I can pay for everything this coming Friday. When I was checking out it let me combine it with my order that's waiting for payment, so it worked out. 👍

This is what I want to add:

Made by a company called "Oversteer" and they are quite good quality. Better than Kyosho I would say but not quite TLV.
