Someone's found the latest gold at the dollar store!

Dollarama always gets me - I never walk out of there without a diecast in my bags - whether HW or MBX or Maisto or Tonka, there'll be something I want.
The only problem is if there is one store that plays the most popular (or 'commercial' music,) it's Dollarama. They know which station will be playing the latest hit - and there's one hit coming along around now that I'd rather avoid.
Have to find a way to get in because they may bring some good loot in this Christmas.
many of the cars I've got at Dollarama can actually be played with - the Key cars, for instance, that are self-powered and you can race.

This is something I need to do a bit more often with my spares.

My cars are primarily for playing - the 'spares' are MIB in boxes. :lol:
So my playing cars outnumber the MIBs.
Most of my MIBs are for investment or bought as presents or gifts to people.
You'll be surprised how happy someone is when just given a free die-cast car - especially of a car that meant something to them IRL.

"My Dad had that car! OMG! It's for me? OMG! Thanks!'

Who said money can't buy happiness? Try a dollar. :)

Been eyeing the only model of the IS300 Sportcross/Altezza Gita on the internet (which is a Choro Q model) and found nothing but the full packs going for $100 or more. Up until a member of the Sportcross owners group offered his for... $10 each. Ended up just getting a silver one.

@MedigoFlame: Been a long time, how is it going bro?

I have one question..... Where did you get the Nismo R33 GTR LM and the HNR31 GTS-R Skyline from?!?! I love the detail on the cars, who makes them? I want them nao! :eek:
 
UCC coffee cans? Never heard of them. But unless it is similar to the Folgers coffee, but there you can get scale cars with the purchase.

This is my first time hearing about them.

Been alright, welcome back to the group!

As RCKakashi14 already stated, they come with UCC coffee. Got these ones off of the Japan Booster ebay store. Been wanting a model of the R31 and Nismo LM Road car for a while. :D
 
Seen a bunch of the Camaro's, SVO Mustangs and the Pink truck from that series, but nothing else.

Speaking of errors, stopped by KMart yesterday to see what was left from K-Days (was hoping for the yellow '15 Mustang but didn't see any) But I did find a Hi-Roller that is missing the entire blue part of the body.

Finally found a Konami Signature Model Honda S2000.
Scale is about 1/64 so i mention it here also.

More pictures in the scale model thread.

Wow those look cute. :embarrassed: Guessing they're hard to come by? Otherwise, I'd go for that Altezza. :D Any more info on them? I'd love to see what else they have.

Looking through Amiami, I saw these Crown Athlete models pop up. They look better than the Kyosho model. Any ideas on this company, ENIF?

They were "amusement prizes" and not for sale, you could win them at arcades or so i guess.
There are two volumes each consisting of 4 cars as far as i can see.

They are available in Japan, but i haven't seen one on ebay in 5+ years.

I found one on a japanese sellers site trough google. :D

Volume 1

Honda S2000
Mazda RX-7 FD3
Toyota Altezza
Nissan GTR-R34

Volume 2

Honda NSX
Toyota Supra
Mazda MX-5
Nissan Silvia

Maybe there are others, not sure.

This search lists them all on yahoo.co.jp:

They all have a piece of tarmac, and some have a guard rail, others a traffic sign.
