Not sure if this has been posted yet but Greenlight are making the Mad Max Interceptor in glorious 1/64.

Rather exciting, always have wanted a 1/64 Interceptor.
 
I've had 2017s key releases for so long that I'm struggling to find ones to buy. Trying to get back into it by picking up the new C7 Z06 the other night and I've added the Majorette Golf GTI Mk.7 and white BMW Z4 today.

I need to get back into shooting them for my Instagram.
 
Dodge van's awesome. Chevy Panel is awesome, except they deleted the opening rear hatch. First, they took the bikes off of them & now even the hatch's sealed. :crazy:
 
VXR
Love the Twingo. I can't recall if I bought the 4C or not lol. I bought so many at one point.

Of all the Majorette's I've gotten so far. I think the Twingo looks the most accurate. Would love to pick up more of the mainstream hatchbacks from Majorette.
 
Oh, and that white Supra is sooooooo good.
I love the tampo work on those(straight, too!). Question: Is there anything new about this R34 Skyline other than the card? I forgot all about it, but when I found the Supras, but no White Album(Beatles) Hiway Hauler, I think the R34s were all gone. I got the Supras, I'm 100% content with that, but just curious.
Anyone have any Hot Wheels Boulevard or Garage series cars they want to get rid of?
NO! What are you looking for though? And why now!? I was interested in the Civic recently, but I think the price's gone up too much at this point. I was able to secure everything else I wanted from that series.

I sure hope they fix those headlights for the awesome 2018 facelift. I wouldn't touch the current one's. :yuck:

I'm making a list of the ones I think look the best. Just checking my options when it comes to collecting Hot Wheels premium models. More interested in those now over basics to be honest.

I noticed the Civic when I was browsing eBay last night. Cheapest ones are like $20+ which is insane, the car used to be a peg warmer. I think Lamley may have had something to do with it. :P

I think the current ones are good enough besides the headlights to make it worth the purchase for me.
 
I checked couple of Fred Meyer stores near me(Kroger), but no Beatles cars at all. I did find this thing & while it's now $16.99, I still had to pick it up!

After I got home, I saw one of my regular sellers on TTP listing those White Album Haulers on the preorder basis. It came to $18.50 for two, little more I wanted to pay, but it is what it is. :crazy:
Not that I was looking for them or anything, but it's a slight relief to know that. :D

I appreciate both in different ways, but having said that, the true "must-haves" for me are the premium cars.

I remember that, too. Kicking myself over that now. Didn't they used to be $2.99? :dunce:

So true, you Aussie gentleman nicknamed @yabiggoose :lol:

If you like it, that's all that matters. I think the rest of the car is a near A+.
You mean this Civic?

I'll trade you for a certain TLV green Gemini. :dopey:
No, because as awesome as that Civic is, my green little car is awesomer.
 
Going to a toy show Saturday the same one where I bought the Bre Datsun 510 and gulf gt40. Won't buy those cars again but if there's stuff I like I'll probably buy some cars.
 
I have a few kicking around here that are missing wheels. :lol:
I remember you did something really cool with those wheels. I think you just painted the outer rims on them or something, but it looked really good.

How much does BRE 510 go for in a setting like that? Did you buy the RLC or Vintage Racing? You probably posted it here, but I must've forgot. :ouch:

The one I got was $125 us and is #1,437. My Gt40 was $30 and is #3,097. Regular cars are pretty cheap usually $2 maybe a odd $1 amount but I've also seen a few buy however many cars for $5 etc.

Killer deal on the RLC cars. I just checked the BRE & they are going for around $300! :eek: GT40, when I had the extra, I think I sold mine for around $40, $50? I'm sure they are worth probably more than that now, too. Well done!

Damn lol. Glad I didn't open them. I won't be buying those anymore though, my mom doesn't like it when I go crazy buying high price cars. Especially since I'm gonna be going to Monterey California for car week this year.
 
$5 where I found them.

Still, better than the usual $10 we normally pay for a premium series like that down here, though.
I must say, hot wheels & ammunition are cheap in the U.S. As you know, one of them blew up my handgun, but still... :lol:
Ah, painted the inner. Looks really good. 👍

Go ahead & show her the eBay search results, how your "investment" is doing. :lol:

That was two years ago too when I bought them. I think I either missed it or was working in 2016.

I was working. Thank you HWC, again, for holding sale when everybody on the West Coast is just getting started at work. :irked:

Not to mention a better exchange against the Japanese Yen, as well...

You've got a spare room, right? I'm moving in. :lol:

And you're somehow still in one piece. Unbelievable. 👍

When Choro-Q & Hot Wheels come awfully close. Considering.

Make sure you pack the Johnny Lightning Ghostbusters Diorama. Also that certain Vintage Racing car yet to be uncarded. :embarrassed:

Scarred me for life. I still wake up in middle of the night. Okay, I'm kidding, but it was scary.
 
I absolutely need to make that silver Mustang my first Auto World. Silver over red is an amazing combination.

Hit up a huge Tesco store this afternoon. They had a HW shipper, but there wasn't anything to my taste in it and they'd stopped stocking Majorette. I'm gonna have to visit Toys R Us for their selection.

Choro-Q VW looks sweet. Love the NGK logo on the sides. 👍

Why didn't I see this coming. :( :lol:

It's okay if I blast Silversun Pickups 24 hours a day though, right?

A gun blowing up in your hands. Scary is an understatement. :scared:

I thought that Choro-Q bus is so cool, but man, the $TH Kool Kombi just outshines. It's one of my favorite Super Treasure Hunts, if not "the" fav. :drool:

I do like silver, sun & pickups, but no man....... Probably not okay.

Monday, guy at work who's lost feelings in his hands(medical condition) decided to flick this brand new pocket knife open. When he "flicked", his arm went out slamming into my shoulder, blade protector piece used for shipping shot across an inch from both my eyes, and knife hit the floor really hard. I thought I was going to end up with the knife in my face, but yeah, I got over that one really quick compared to the other incident. :lol:
