I'm so excited to get the mainline!
Some of the 2017 cars and liveries are absolutely amazing, I just want HW to update some of their wheels.
This new saw tooth one on the Speedy Perez and Tesla are hideous and only look passable on a fantasy track car i.e. Speedy.
I've also seen a black new NSX super on top of the gold one? How's that?
Love to get any of the 2017 supers but I'm in the UK so nye on impossible, but the mainlines are shaping up superbly. I'll be very happy if I get the orange 911 GT2 in B case.
Little 2015 score in Halfords this morning. There great for that. Just ask for what's left in the only case they purchase every year before xmas. Not a muscle or flames fan (very choosey) but this Barracuda is beautifully tampoed.

👍!!Stop, stop. You had me at Roadmaster.
If it wasn't attached to the Family Truckster. Pretty sure I'd have zero interest in that, the shasta trailer is so damn ugly in green/brown.

I had to visit hospital for my cough today. I arrived little early, so I ran by little store across the street that I knew carried hot wheels & this is what I bought:
They also had the most hot wheels I've seen in a really long time. Unfortunately, I was taking time from work for doctor visit, also my appointment was coming up, so I was about to look through only about the third of what they had on the pegs. I smelled $TH, as pegs were full, plus there were small stack on the shelf. I wish I had more time.
As I gave up on it, I found those M2 cars. Blue Camaro has fixed headlights, red has those covered up lights. Their basic line was $1 more here($3.99), but this Studebaker looked too awesome to pass up.
I think the Kyosho looks really good, but TLV.... they are TLV. CM's, I think they just hit that one out of the park. I like CM's in general, but that Delta's one of their finest castings. 👍
P.S. Can I add this Kyosho post to that Delta post I have on the blog? I think it'd help other collectors, like how it just helped me. I didn't even know that there was a Kyosho version, and your review of the model is money!
Toyota $TH Truck - Good luck to us all with that one.
Odyssey - Automatic buy.
Gasser - Ugliest color & stripes, but if I ever saw one, I'd buy it.
Which reminds me, I saw SO many of those HW Truck series. So many. Not one Datsun truck. You guys have any luck finding them?
RLC is an absolute love/hate & torture for me, but looks like I have to join again. It's just that, that website is an hair-pulling experience. Good thing I don't have any hair.

I actually rephrased that to sound less weird.Have you read the second part of your first quoted sentence in this post? Who's actually sounding kinky here?
News Flash: They milk the @#%! out of many, many castings. It's just what they do. Not to criticize, but with some castings, like Ford Bronco, Crown Vic, it can be tiresome.
Your Skyline's awesome(and unique 👍), but yeah, if I was the President Obama, anything close to 1/64, but isn't would be banned. lol
I would have, too!Which is, of course, why I bid on this Lancia Integrale despite the fact that I already have two TLVs and one CMs Delta. Yup, very sensible.
Nice review of it. Thanks! 👍

I forgot about the mainlines. I'd imagine even the mainlines would be bit of challenge to find.Word. A Falken Toyota Truck
I'm so excited to get the mainline!
T2 Pickup might be amazing. I want Aisle Driver. Combat Medic is a must-buy for me. 50th Camaros looks promising. White Paul Walker Supra(I think the movie used "white" to represent heaven/angel?) is a must-have. Beatles cars are more garbage...... Is that a White Album Hiway Hauler? Damn it. I MUST HAZ DAT.

It's not weird, it's beautiful! If I said "me & Jarroji are homosexual lifemates!", then run.
I missed that. Actually, haven't we brought up that exact car before?Stop, stop. You had me at Roadmaster.

Don't forget the Dodge Monaco too. That's another casting that seems to be in every series they do.
Speaking of milking a casting.
Fair point.
*Not that there's anything wrong with that*
Actually, haven't we brought up that exact car before?
I'm assuming we've probably brought it up numerous times.

Mother..... I might buy another RV for that one! Maybe I won't buy the first TWD RV!Makes me wonder if they'll bring out another version of Dale's RV from The Walking Dead, down the track, with a 1/64 figure of Dale holding binoculars and a rifle.
A lady pirate.
Yabi please! This thread is PG-13!! j/k
P.S. Love GreenLight, but with their level of quality, Mr. White wouldn't be pleased with the product. lol
Ah, thanks! 👍

I'd still be curious to see a GL Tercel. Though GL quality is especially lately quite poor.

Yo, those vehicles are awesome! Here are my HRT's, 2001-2010Yeah, I've got a few.
Biante and Classic Carlectables HRT Commodores by Jarrod, on Flickr
Biante 1/64 Peter Brock's Last Bathurst by Jarrod, on Flickr
Biante 1/64 HRT 50 Round Wins by Jarrod, on Flickr
As well as some non HRT ones.
Clicky.
Love the old Biantes soo much... Quality really stands up well next to my TLV's and Kyoshos...

View attachment 595723Stop, stop. You had me at Roadmaster.
Don't we always?
But yes, you are right, just the Roadmaster would own all of humanity and then some. And in a way; @a6m5 san is right, we have mentioned it before. If Greenlight was Forza Horizon 3, the Roadmaster would be our own S14 Silvia. That's just how much we want a 1/64 model of it... The Roadmaster, not the Silvia. Oh, and the Pontiac Aztek Greenlight refuses to show to us. I know you're making one GL, don't tease us!
If it wasn't attached to the Family Truckster. Pretty sure I'd have zero interest in that, the shasta trailer is so damn ugly in green/brown.
Yes, now that I'm looking at it, the trailer matching the Truckster's color is neat, but the way it's done makes it look tacky. Although I don't think making the trailer have a woody-like paint scheme would work any better than that...
Well, it's there for those who adore the Truckster, like Australian goats or something.
I actually rephrased that to sound less weird.
Perfect, now your post is SFW, good to hear.
Well yes, you are right about that, I have seen plenty of GL Broncos on your blog alone. But the Bronco is awesome either way, GL can milk that as much as they want. Not sure about the Crown Vic, it depends on how good the casting actually is.
But I do find one thing funny; in my first GL purchase, I managed to snatch not one but two often-repeated castings; the Bronco and the Monaco! Their names even ryhme and everything! Guess I can't say much about not owning repeated castings...
By the way, while the M2 Camaros you bought put me off because of the way the rims look, that Studebaker rocks my socks. great pickup. Sometimes all you need is a clean, unfussy hot rod design, and that's something the Stude does very well. 👍

I shouldn't have said that out loud, it'll give them ideas.

Agreed but I'd still buy one in a heatbeat. Dying for that one to be released.
Awesome collection. 👍 Love the 2010 car, that was a great looking livery.
Oh, and the Pontiac Aztek Greenlight refuses to show to us. I know you're making one GL, don't tease us!
Tell me about. Aside from the RV, I wish GL would stop with all the other Breaking Bad stuff that we don't particularly care about. Just give us the freakin Aztek and Tercel already!
Well, it's there for those who adore the Truckster, like Australian goats or something.
Something like that.
👍

I don't have that one, but I want it.

Some new cars at Walmart, but I'm pretty sure it came in on the one day I skipped again. I was able to pick up couple of new Miatas I didn't have. I actually prefer it to the Matchbox Miata(don't care for the wing tho).
Miata replaces the new Ford GT as the official car of my cubicle. Picked up another white CR-X, also for work. Extra Miata & that truck will go to my de nephews.
Kingswood 1
Kingswood 2
They rock so hard.
P.S. What's happening with that blog you were planning on designing?

Same. Weary of their hit/miss quality, but that red AWD Tercel Wagon's a automatic buy for me.Agreed but I'd still buy one in a heatbeat. Dying for that one to be released.
Looks top notch for 1/64. 👍
I think the Johnny Lighting came closest with the Caprice sedan. I have one, but I never opened it. Auto World of course released the Galaxie & Kingswood Estate, which are of similar mold. LOVE the Kingswood. Just amazing for $5.But yes, you are right, just the Roadmaster would own all of humanity and then some. And in a way; @a6m5 san is right, we have mentioned it before.

........ On a second thought, I won't say anything.
I'm guilty of enabling their milking ways. I have two Broncos I've yet to post as we speak.
No.
Yes.
If you feel up to it, do it! Thank you. 👍 And if you are comparing all three, that's a standalone post!

This is free of charge.
How much do they retail for over there?
Wow. Look at the tires! I didn't see this one coming. I guess it only makes sense with all the JDM they've cashed in on last couple of years or more. 👍

How did I forget that beauty!? Christ, I need to step up my game when it comes to 1/64 wagons. I mentioned GL when it came to my Roadmaster dreams, but good ol'Auto World wouldn't do a bad job either if the Kingswood is anything to go by. And since people believe that GL is losing their mojo due to quality inconsistencies, perhaps it's best that AW overtakes GL on a possible (and affordable) small Roadmaster scale model...?
........ On a second thought, I won't say anything.
Just stating the obvious, bud.
And thank God for that, I'm sure I'll enjoy your posts on either of those Broncos. If the casting hasn't lost a step in terms of quality, do you really want to lose it...?
We'll agree to disagree about the Camaros, how's that?
I don't hate the car, good lord, but the rims really put me off. They don't look the part, they look cheap. But of course, those are my five cents on the matter.

Oh yeah, Poundland came up trumps again. Got another final Ferrari (took 2). About my 4th C7 stingray, this ones the best, So clean and has a carbon roof tampo!
As I've said before I'm very selective over muscle, refused the Willys previously but had to have it this time round and the COPO in this colour way is absolutely gorgeous.
2016 skyline finally, so still the Ford GT to get for 2016 satisfaction.
And oh my gosh! A fantasy car that's not an entertainment licence, but I like the cut of this buggies jib, could easily be one of the independent manufacturer's buggies from FH3.
Cheers guys.
