For some reason your photos take forever to load for me, and almost crashed both my phone and the internet browser at my work this morning. Anyone else have issues with this?
Yeah, I did. Was taking forever to load and ended up just going back a page.

Strange, my Internet browser did not have issues loading my pictures (I use Firefox, for reference), and my phone can somewhat do the same. Maybe it is related to the fact that I used GTP's Media feature?
 
I just received mine actually, along with the 2 Jeeps. Not interested in the Bronco's. I've actually purchased lots of stuff lately, just haven't shared because I am too lazy to take photos. :P

Please tell me they are as good as they look.
 
I noticed that the spare tyres don't look straight. But I can overlook that.
Mine was sagging down a bit. There's some chips in the paint on the rear wheel. One of the Jeeps silver outline on the wheels isn't done very well, but nothing I can't touch up with a silver sharpie. One of the reasons I hate buying cars sight unseen, but when you can't get them in your area, nothing I can do.
 
I suspected that was the reason, because it loads them like an old 56k connection. :P

Well, I dun' goof'd, and it's quite embarassing. Sorry for the lag issues, I was under the impression that the Media option could somehow downsize pictures by itself without causing too much issues. And of course, I was horribly wrong. :ouch:

Ok, let's do this all over again, and hopefully not screw up this time around;

Greenlight Hollywood Smokey and the Bandit 4-car set; my very first Greenlight purchase!

And as an added bonus, here's a special picture with the other car which I brought from Autoclassico 2015 yesterday;

'Murica! :dopey:

Well, here it is, my very first Greenlight purchase. I just had to get a limited edition set of cars at that too, because common sense doesn't apply to me. Bar the iffy-looking (it makes the car look titled, if that makes any sense) front axle in the 1977 T/A, and the somewhat cumbersome "cookie can" which holds the cars, I really dig this set. Besides, buying four different Greenlight models would cost me more than this entire set put together, and I already had to consider both the Corvette and this Michel Vailant book that I bought at the same time, so if I was going to spend the buck, might as well spend slightly less on something which will be worth a prettier penny later, no? :sly:
 
What a coincidence. I got myself one too:

Forgive me for having frail arms and a heartbeat that you could feel through the wall.

I should stop collecting these things. :lol:
 
First time ever that Lotus has its own Minicar Collection from Kyosho:

However, it's just stuck with its new method of releasing cars. Just two models are new castings, while the rest are recolors. :grumpy:

The Kakash specials is too fast on providing the Kyosho news. Beat me to it again :lol:

Only 6 castings in this box. Each box will probably have a lot of duplicates, which probably means low prices all around. The Matte Evora probably will hit $40 max and decline to about $30, maybe even dip as low as the Aston's LMP1 since it's no Veneno.

Why didn't they just go with red, blue or green on the Exige instead of making yet another black one? I would've loved been all over a green. :grumpy:

I'm going to Hong Kong at the end of November. The Lotus box set is set to be released on November 3 in Japan.

So...




*heads back to his lair and writes a list*
 
You know I eventually produce better photos of every car anyway.

But by all means, feel free to proceed and see how far that goes. :P
 
YO THAT BIKE!

Grabbed these just now. Walmart had a scrawny HW AND MBX bin.

Been skipping F-Types, ZR1s, S2000s and NSXs.
 
I picked up that whole Star Wars set because why not. Stash them away somewhere and see if I can sell them for $10 in a few years. :P
