Liking the Evasive FR-S for '16.

...except recolors of existing models.

Really liking the look of the LP500R in orange.

Well was just browsing the Hot Wheels newsletter group and I just happened to see this. There is one car that really stands in the bunch....

The zamac is the only one that sticks out to me

This car:

Is one of the rarest HWs in existence. Quite minty too.

 

[Ken]

Only seven were made?

 

[mustang fanatic]

Yup.

 

[Ken]

Interesting. I wonder if that's real then.

 

[mustang fanatic]

That's what I was wondering. Kinda looks too good to be true.

You seem to know what I am getting at here.

Personally I am highly skeptical about it too, but I can't help but wonder. If it's not the real deal, then what is it? I have heard about people making imitations of the Rear Loading Beach Bomb before, but not the Rodger Dodger.

Real or not, I thought it was worth sharing anyway. 👍

Got a bunch of Greenlights in on Monday, haven't had time to snap photos. Will try and get them up tonight.

I've never really liked that body style at all, but that's quite nice actually. Auto World did a good job, as always. 👍

Went to a collectable shop today. They had a quite a bit of Hotwheels. But I only had a few bucks. I only managed to pick one up, but I was quite happy with it. Ferrari 156, a 2001 first edition.

If you ever get a chance to find the 2003 Hall of Fame version, grab that!

buckets of drool.

 

[Ken]

That is gorgeous!

 

[Bo]

Matchbox 156 is best 156.

 

[AOS-]

@hsv Have we done this before in the past?

 

[Ken]

I don't like that as much as I do the Hotwheels.

 

[Bo]

That's just a photo from Google of one that's in similar shape to mine, my own one is hiding in the back of a transporter with an Aston Martin.

Matchbox 156 is best 156.

I don't disagree with you, hsv, that is pretty cool. Vintage Matchbox cars are always cool, no matter the condition. But that 2003 HW version is pretty impressive, all things considered. It's simply gorgeous, I had never seen such a drool-worthy HW Ferrari quite like this;

You have to admit, this^ is beautiful. Way better rims than the 2001 version (no offense intended, Ken), and that paintjob... Seriously, I'd love to get one of these myself. It's very, very good stuff.

None taken. I simply love the Hotwheels casting. No matter what tampos or color. In fact, I wish I could that hall off fame car. It's jaw dropping.

This one is great looking too.

Arrived a couple of days ago. Didn't get around to posting up the pictures until now. My TLV's arrived!

 

[Spacegoat]

My TLV's arrived!

That was fast! Crown really looks great, can't wait to get my hands on mine. Liking the Skyline in that blue too. Awesome stuff mate. 👍

Edit: Grabbed this earlier today. Didn't realise the roof detached, makes it all that much sweeter. Best part too, the seller shipped it like an hour after I paid for it.

A couple days ago? Come the heck on. My cars are still in freaking transit -________-

 

[MedigoFlame]

Pretty sure I paid for faster shipping... Probably because I couldn't wait for the Crowns.

829 Japan uploaded some photos of the new Tomica's!

Yeah, maybe I should get both colors of the 2020. I only got red, but now...I do like the silver/grey.

Boy, you sure were eager to get those Crowns, eh? Still, great purchases, and great cars to boot. 👍

As for the new Nissan 2020 TLVs, they are looking good. Personally, I prefer the silver's sort of metallic finish, but the red doesn't look half bad. I also find it interesting that Tomica placed a "Nissan 2020 Vision Gran Turismo" logo next to the front wheels, does that detail appear in the "real" car?

Nevertheless, those two are looking very good, and the Lambo is not half bad either. All in all, they're all good purchases in my book. 👍

Nice. Those Crowns are actually what got me interested again after a couple years off. Mine are still in Japan though...

Same. I didn't fork out for the faster shipping on them either, so they'll probably be a little while longer yet.
