Oversteer Atenza/Mazda 6:

Word. Just received mine. It's beautiful.

 

[photonrider]

I would say personal taste. It bugs the hell out of me, but from what I've seen, I am in the minority on this.

But I'm right. j/k

I'm big on new Mazda designs right now, and expectation grew on Oversteer brand after seeing their Atenza/Mazda 6:

I just paid for the new Miata/Roadster yesterday, and it should be shipping soon. I can not wait.

Is that a variation of purple? j/k

No problem, thanks for letting me know. Also, thank you for the compliments. 👍

P.S. My nephews will get to see my collection when they are young adults. I don't trust them until then. I know what their father was like with my stuff when we were kids!

We are glad to have you! I will send you a invite shortly. **Please read the first post for guidelines** Thank you!

I agree - great quality - even just judging by pics. The 1:64s are really diving deeply into authentic-replica territory.

They do small parts like no other! My only gripe is the front Mazda emblem. Doesn't look right.

This looks like a car that was taken to the Ring so they could test smashing it into every barrier.

That.... was my technique in GT4. Okay, in GT3, 2 & the first one, also. And GT5.

It will be in GT6 if I ever get it(I won't).

From what I'm hearing - the World, in a few short decades, would have dominantly converted to electric cars, probably half of them self-drive. These models of ours - gas-guzzlers, styled with a combustion engine in mind - at that time would be unique, strange, a reminder of some neolithic past.

Reminds me of other stuff from science fiction that's been becoming reality: Big brother watching our every move, fresh water shortage, overpopulation...... I can't wait to see the alien invasion(okay, this one's a long shot).

The aliens are hiding. They know we'll dissect them.

Just got outbid on a lot of 6 mint 70's Schuco BMW's with the box.
This hurts my soul.

200 euro or so?

 

[Apok]

120€ +7€ shipping.
It hurts.

But what if that isn't a fantasy MBX model...

... What if its a real design based on leaked documents from Area 51...

pretty acceptable, considering. Pics.

Here you go

I really would have liked to win this, because ze germans often don't offer paypal as a payment option and/or don't ship outside of Germany. Plus I don't know when a lot of basically most of the vintage Schucos I want will show up again.

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. Lusty.

How much did you bid?

 

[Apok]

@Cano

113€



Ah well, I keep telling myself I need to stop spending money.
I'm not doing a good job of it, because I have 3 eBay tabs open.

 

[Cano]

113€

Should have gone higher (duh). In here just two of those would have cost that.

Proud of @Apok for his display of fiscal responsibility. It's not always easy to exercise restraint.

Spoiler

But after looking at the pics, I don't even collect these things & I can't get over how sweet & vintage these things are. You really screwed up here & should be envious of the winning bidder.

I kid of course, but they really are so sweet!!!

I have saved searches, but I always wondered if there was a way to get email notifications. I'm gonna have to look into that. 👍

 

[AOS-]

The moment you save a search, you also have to option to receive email notifications.

Otherwise, if you enter your Ebay Control Panel, go to Saved Searches. You'll see all the save searches you have. Under the email settings field, it will identify whether you already are receiving notifications or not. Otherwise, click on More Actions and click "Sign Up for emails".

If you want to see what a search will currently pull up, you can click on "View Items".

Whatchu talkin' bout? He just sucks.

So while I was searching eBay to

Ah well, I keep telling myself I need to stop spending money.

erm... save money?? Yeah, sure.


I stumbled upon this.
Oh man, that looks amazing, but it's a tiny bit cost prohibitive, especially if you consider the (currently) 25 people watching and the 23 days left till the end of the auction.

I need to get me that new GT-R in blue but the funds do not allow at the moment.

I need to get me all the new GT-Rs but the funds do not allow at the moment.

Are those two coupes on the bottom left side Nissan Leopards? They look quite good either way...

Yes, the first of a bunch coming up. I would also recommend getting the gold R35 now, as you know it's going to go stratospheric in the future.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Nifty, looking forward to seeing your pics of them out of their boxes. Also, that second point isn't entirely surprising, it is a gold R35 after all. Pretty or not, it is valuable as a collector's item, which is fitting considering the car it's based on...

 

[CodeRedR51]

FTFY, no need to thank me.

Nah, just the blue. And I can't even afford that.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Nah, just the blue. And I can't even afford that.

Quite selective, aren't we?
For once we are on the same boat, it'll take a while before I can afford to purchase any TLV model...

This month's arrivals:

Paid for the two Alfa's and gold GT-R yesterday. Hopefully they'll got shipped out sometime today. Can't wait.
