And like that AOS has been banished from the HW thread.

Aww man, you had a good run.
Bye!

RIP AOS's credibillity 20??-2017. I'll be pouring a 40 oz bottle of maple syrup for you homie...

Joke aside, the S660 is certainly an interesting venture. It's bound to be more faithful to the real thing than Tomica's model, plus you can add its big brother (NSX) to the mix if you're so inclined.

The Tomica is actually wider than most of Greenlight's models. It does look proper given the fact that the i8 is a low-slung hybrid sports car...

Quite, that gives the Tomica bonus points for accuracy. The rear end looks smoother than the Norev, even though it lacks the badging... After all, tall ride heighs are the i3's job.

Picked up the MBX 1M in gold, 300C in red and the Lamley F150 in Poundland today. Didn't really need them, but what the heck. I do enjoy these realistic road cars from the Orange brand.

Just saw your blog post, the GT40 looks great. Cool scores. 👍

I wasn't sure about that one online, but when I saw it on the card in real life(also in the above pic), I decided to get two(second for de nephew). Digging the color. 👍 Also picked these up:

I carried five Matchbox cars, two M2 Machines, plate of Sushi & bottle of Diet Coke to the checkout register. I always think if carrying too many things with two hands was a sport, I could be an Olympian.

@a6m5, buying sushi.

Dishonourable.

Lol

There is nothing more natural than a Japanese guy buying sushi!

For anyone that's interested Biante have just released both DJR Team Penske Ford Falcon FG-X's from last year in 1:64.

It makes a nice change from your normal service station sushi though.

 

[SVX]

I can deal with crap sushi, but I have to have proper miso for my fix of that. Even the little saches you buy at the supermarket are worlds better than the pre-made stuff you can buy.

 

[a6m5]

I've been waiting for the Hot Wheels Mail-in Datsun Bluebird? Today, I see this thing in the mailbox:

Then I notice the sender name:

I opened the box right then & there, because accidentally, Mattel's been sending Toyota Trucks out to the collectors, instead of the Datsun Bluebird. Box was awfully big. This is what I found inside:

I didn't even remember I ordered these. Psych!

For $20, it would be an automatic buy. WHY SO EXPENSIVE!!

Yeah, this one's actually got authentic Asian people(lol) making it right there on the spot. It's actually decent. 👍

No Toyota's? What a let down.

It's a lot cheaper on their website. Shipping might be pricey though.

That's the thing, so does the place I get my sushi from. It's dreadful!

 

[a6m5]

No Toyota's? What a let down.

You've made so many jokes about me receiving the Toyota Truck instead of Bluebird, if it really happened, your life could be in danger. No, seriously. As soon as you receive the news that I received the Toyota, you should hide really good.

Did you work out how much that is in USD? Works out to $20 a car, shipped. Just saying.

Also, high five for sad bunny dog.

Yeah, I like them. $20 per car/shipped is a good deal. 👍

Uh...

...that's gonna have questionable quality. 日本の寿司が一番!

And here's the refreshed Subaru BRZ joining the facelift Toyota 86 in Tomica's regular lineup. It will hit shelves (in Japan, of course) this May.




Though my trip to Osaka will be this Christmas. When it comes to Japan, I simply cannot wait...

I never preordered this as at the time I thought it wasn't anything special. After seeing it for real, it's really cool!

Awesome. Interested to see your thoughts on them. 👍

Found some g case cars

But some of them like the F type had T case for the case code

Rest were g

Then found some johnnys ford gt, cutlass, and the Gran Torino. The vette was from target. And the matchboxs were from Meijer. I completed series 2. Most of the new hot wheels were from toys r us.

I don't consider myself a Ford fan, but I don't mind DJR Penske. I'll buy Fabian's car.

That's actually pretty neat. May consider getting one myself...

 

[Johnny1996]

Chase Elliott 2016 Daytona win, Johnny Lightning Vega Wagon and a much smaller than 1:64 Hot Wheels Twin Mill something (not sure if 1, 2 or 3) that's only half the length of my pinky finger.

I went to my second walmart I have across town that I hate going to but I actually found some Auto world cars and two Hot Wheels that I was looking for.

[AOS-]

Got some detailed shots of that haula haula auto safety loader truck? I'm interested to see the smaller parts on the sides and undercarriage.

Looks like the Twin Mill (more like One-and-a-half Mill ) and the Chase Elliott car are staying inside their respective blisters, huh? Only the Vega can be seen without one (did it even come with a blister to begin with?)...

Also, I'd say there is no need to put thumbnail'd pictures inside spoiler tags, they don't slow loading times that much to warrant such techniques.

The Vega did. The other two are indeed staying in their plastic penitentiary because I have no sympathy and they must suffer.
