You know what those two little letters on the trunk mean? That I'll never own one. Really disappointed this is a TH...

Guyz! Just pre-ordered my first ever TLV!

Nice. Ordered that one myself. 👍 The Porsche is one casting I've wanted since I first got into TLV's but some of the prices for the older releases online are ridiculous. So glad that they're releasing it again.

Ditto! Placed several bids on the silver/yellow Porsches during Japan-Booster's December auction, but fell short of the winning bids.

Judging by the size of that rear over-fender, it's definitely this one:

You can see how small the "bad" one is.

Yeah I'm guessing so.


However, I was referring to the "bad" one as what you're calling the "good" one.

 

[yabiggoose]

It varies. The air small packet option I go for, normally is between one-two weeks. The longest one has taken was 16 days. I'm in country NSW though, it might be quicker for you being in a major city like Melbourne?

Quite possibly it would be quicker but perhaps you're physically closer to glorious Nippon.

Looking at ordering some stuff from there. I've not bought a 'proper' (non HW) diecast in probably a year or more.

Custom Tomica #23 Nissan GT-R

No name customized GT-R. This is apparently the first custom from Thailand using pad printing. Pretty basic and single colour design. The 'A' in Academy is way off. Previous releases from Thailand have been very poor, but the quality of this shows there is a long way to go to match the stuff from Japan.

So these came out at the local toy stores:

glorious Nippon.

It's pronounced grorius in Engrish.

Don't be a drama queen, $80, tops. Before shipping.

They are EVERYWHERE here. I did buy & blog the Mark I Escort, but I'm not touching anything else!

That's a month's worth of gas.

Hahah. I had thought of that but didn't want to seem racist.

Off topic:
My dad has a friend whose half Japanese (Japanese 'war bride' from WWII mother) and she loves poking fun at Engrish and Japanese pronunciation of English. Despite half her family indeed being Japanese. But I guess it's okay haha.

I wouldn't really call it racist. I've seen "Eri" and "Niko" officially used as substitutes for "Eli" and "Nico", but @a6m5 will know more than me

I know on here it'd probably be seen as okay as it would only be lighthearted but I still don't know @a6m5 as well as most of you. So I don't know if I'd be overstepping a boundary.

I worry a lot hah.

Shinji is fluent in engrish, it's true.

Hah it's fair enough. I'm probably wrong but as far as I'm aware, an r is used in actual romaji pronunciations, eg. Lancer > Ransa.

 

[a6m5]

That's a month's worth of gas.

It might be couple bucks cheaper, who knows.

P.S. Found your dream error:

That's one perk of being a minority.

It's always better safe than sorry. Props to you for being so considerate. 👍

I'm convinced that my people are the absolute worst in the world at speaking English. So bad!

Shinji is fluent in engrish, it's tru

I'm a native Engrish speaker, so yes, very fruent.

Hah it's fair enough. I'm probably wrong but as far as I'm aware, an r is used in actual romaji pronunciations, eg. Lancer > Ransa.

"R" is often replaced with pronunciation similar to "L", so maybe not much issue with "Lancer", but Corolla, or Camaro would get interesting. Chevrolet was my favorite(I can't even spell out the way we pronounce it lol).

 

[GroupB]

Don't forget the Opel Caribra from Gran Turismo.

えぇ~?!　なにこれ？　



Maybe Mattel needs to seriously check up on their factory workers.

 

[citroengt1]

That's John Cena's favourite Hot Wheels.

 

[CodeRedR51]

However, I was referring to the "bad" one as what you're calling the "good" one.

The one with large rear wheels is now officially the "bad one".

How the hell does that make it all the way to the pegs? Amazing.

Card probably got stuck on the back of another one.

What does this mean!?

I'm not a big fan of this one. Maybe it'll grow on me.

I'm Chinese, and we joke about pronouncing English words with a Chinese accent. It's hilarious.

 

[Zychotic1]

even though its actually more accurate?? the skyline style tail lights and half finished G-nose absolutely ruin it for me... I'd rather look at mismatched wheels

 

[CodeRedR51]

Not I.

There's a joke on 9GAG going about for a year or two, that you can never see John Cena coming.
So it's a joke that he's invisible.

Few cars I found at Toys R Us. Will take some pictures of the Johnny Lightning and the Auto World tomorrow.

I'm also going to be pre ordering the blue Porsche 911S TLV.

Edit: I've now pre ordered the blue 911S and the Supra pace car.

Oh wow. That Auto World Dodge looks excellent. Love the colour. 👍
