Bought this one today:

That Impala wagon is beautiful. I hope to find a couple. Would love to remove the canoe and detail the car.

Well I just found out that you can take the canoe off of it.

Shouldn't be too hard to fix the roof too. I'm eager lol

 

[MedigoFlame]

Picked these up in Vietnam.

Mercedes 190E, Renault 5, Porsche 962. Yes please.

 

[scholesy1899]

Modern classics and race day is gonna be expensive this side of the pond. But they must be got.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I hope they keep going with that Car Culture line. Some of the best premium stuff to come out in years. The worst part is that the card art looks fantastic too, so it's tough to consider opening them.

Tomica Marvel T.U.N.E. Evo 0.0

 

[CodeRedR51]

Another thing, watched the video of the presentation and apparently this car will be a "chase" in the Forza themed releases.

But I'm hoping it's not too hard to acquire.

 

[Casey]

These two cars came in the mail today.

Kyosho Ferrari F12. It's been a while since I last bought a Kyosho model.

Tomica Subaru Impreza STI

 

[yabiggoose]

Tomica would be so much better with some different wheels for their cheap models.

[Spacegoat]

It was actually the camera attachment for Gameboy Color.

Only quoting this because of the reference. 👍

Think that's a massive pet peeve for everyone with mainline Tomica's. They don't have to be super high quality either, just a little bit of detail would be nice.

Konami 1:64

Mazda Familia Rotary Coupe (Mazda R100)

 

[ScottPuss20]

YES PLEASE

On another note, I went to the new Toyworld at Harbour Town, came back with these:

Finally, I've been able to find a Premium set that isn't Star Wars, Star Trek or Marvel! But honestly, that store was LIT. They had Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Majorette, Siku, Jada, Maisto and even Burago. Don't even get me started on the Pokemon TCG stuff..

Edit: I have 3 other Dodge Chargers in my collection - a '69 HW Mainline, the Fast and Furious 7 Charger (the off-road one) and a '68 by Greenlight from the movie Bullit.

When the RX-3 comes out, does anyone think they'll be game enough to help me out in finding one? I want to get one for my brother, but it'll probably be hard to find and like $10 + here.

 

[VXR]

Hot Wheels are killing it right now. Their deco choices are on fire, their colours are spot on and the wheels go from strength to strength.

I wasn't sure if such a thing existed. It's from long ago.

Very cool model.

I will never see it. If I did, the postage from U.S. to New Zealand would be ridiculous.

I started collecting around maybe 2011? For me, it's not so much that they are getting better, but they used to be really exciting with series like Garage, Vintage Racing, Boulevard, then sucked really hard for couple of years. I am glad that they are better than where they've been recently.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I got a package in the mail yesterday with like 10 Garage cars in it. I'll try to get pics tonight. (if I don't forget )

It's not that bad actually. Not any more than $10 USD (I send car parts to the US often).

It's from the U.S. side, unless the rates are different than when shipping to Australia. I've checked postage for Yabi & Ben before, and it was crazy!

Aw damn. I'll have to look into it!

 

[a6m5]

I will too.

Is $13 AUD too much?

 

[SVX]

Is $13 AUD too much?

Just for postage?

 

[a6m5]

I didn't read the fine print, but just for one car, I think it would be $13+ U.S. by the slow mail. Thank god postage from Japan is so much cheaper, because some of us buy so much from AmiAmi & Japan Booster.

Fuuuu. Have you guys looked at 1999.co.jp? They're really cheap, and a good service (have dealt with them previously).

 

[domalorite]

Apita Tomica Toyota 2000GT American Flag Type II

 

[a6m5]

Wow, that thing looks amazing @domalorite 👍

I've yet to buy from them, but I've come close. I think Andy or somebody directed us to their sale one time.
