Great grabs, @Sonygamer455. I'm not too big on vintage hot wheels, but I can totally get behind that bus.

Some interesting loose cars. Decent prices.

Hit them! I'll tell you which ones are worth the high price they ask for them.

Don't have the money/room to do that. Plus my mom will kill me.

Good grabs, but my god that Greyhound was steep. I know it's difficult to come by, but man...

After looking around some on the internet, I can believe it. The price tag was $20, but I of course got it for $18. The new seller (The same one who sold me the Turbofire) isn't budging much on prices like Jack typically does. Still, I regret nothing.

At least it's in good shape.

The Boss 429 rules 👍

You ain't kidding. My dad, my brother and even my mom have tried to buy it off me since I got it. :lol:

I almost walked off without it, good thing I didn't.

Who doesn't love the looks of that bus?

I did get pictures of some findings this time around I will post later.

Love the color combo on this one.

Oh heck yea! :dopey:

It's about time they did something really good.

I wish instead of the outlaw Porsche influenced by that tosser who can't handle his own car I wish HW would do a RWB.

Why not both?

Our new parts manager finally decided to have some diecast models for sale at our dealership. Wish I waited, the Greenlight Chrysler dealership is only $13 at employee pricing. :mad:

Pretty sure I paid a little more for mine on eBay and all the cars came damaged.

Gotbeefboy564 · Oct 28, 2015

Found the P case th and finally found the custom 15 Mustang

Do want but apparently it's a promotional model only and won't be available anywhere? Poo.

I like the card more than the car!

I think it's a hobby exclusive, so you'll be able to get it from eBay. I doubt it will be too expensive.

Holy poopsticks. These are Norevs.

I was almost contemplating on selling my Norev collection, but I may have to take this one up.

T-Hunted claims it's a promo model but I hope you're right, would love to get my hands on that.

I don't have any Norevs. That might be about to change though, wow. :drool:

The Majorette model may have better details, but the Bburago has better paint quality and wheels.

Cano · Oct 31, 2015

Swap the Bburago Wheels to the Majorette and you'll have massive win there.

Tomica Premium Toyota S-FR Concept uploaded by Ohiko2000

CodeRedR51 · Oct 31, 2015

It's hard to believe that a company that makes things such as TLV in great deal can create something so cheap looking.

Apok · Oct 31, 2015

Wheels look nice I guess.

It's hard to believe that a company that makes things such as TLV in great deal can create something so cheap looking.

TLVs just warp our notion that all Tomicas look as good as that, and then we look at lesser models which dwarf that idea immediately. What concerns me more is that the S-FR is meant to be a Premium model, a line which stands above the really cheap Tomica models. And yet it doesn't seem to stand out on its own that much, especially with the lack of detail in the front (that reallly needed a license plate) and the painted headllights.

Should've done that a bit better, don't you think Tomica?

I don't even get how normal Tomica's can even cut it in todays world. With affordable casting technology which can make cars this small very detailed who would want ones with the same wheels, few tampos and poor metal work!

AOS- · Oct 31, 2015

Tomicas still tailor to the Asian market for the most part, and until some other brand decides to compete in Asia, Tomica can continue to make their cost-cutting mainlines marking them for $5 a piece.

With mainlines, it's all business at the end of the day, not about enthusiastic collectors.

Sonygamer455 · Nov 1, 2015

Well here are those findings I mentioned earlier.

Crappy pictures, but hey, it's better than nothing.

Yep. Another Custom Police Cruiser much like the one I got back in 2012, but it has a clear light on top instead. I was considering this one at first after seeing it during my other visit, but after giving it another look, I don't think it's worth the $18 it's priced. Jack spoke against it and I can see why. :crazy:

A picture of the bus. Not much to see really, but you can get a view of the other cars around it. The orange Flat Out looked rather good and it was only $5. Shame on me for not getting a better picture.

Some castings on display. Most you probably have already seen, but there are some that was added over time.

Even more. Check out the blue El Dorado! You can't see the price tag, but it's $75. Can't see it to well, but at the bottom is an Alive '55. It's only $8.
