On the way home.

So happy I finally got the orange FuguZ & the white Datsun 620 truck. Been on a lookout for the Ford GT race car for me & that spaceship thing for de nephews, too. Batmobile was a surprise. I was going to take one for de nephews, but it looks so slick, I took one for myself as well. On the fence about the black Camaro.... nah, I'm keeping that one, too. Not even a fan of the car, but that is one REALLY good looking hot wheel car. 👍

Edit: Just posted on my blog.

That Porsche is flawless.

It is said finding a Cool One with no deco is like finding Shangri-la.

Here's the uncool version of it:

No version of it is cool imo.

I don't have much appreciation for errors, but this one's kinda neat for what it is. *shrug* It probably is really rare!

I've just won two older HWs - 1933 roadster and 1934 Coupe I think they are - for £1.50 on ebay. Nice when you're the only bidder. With the '32 Ford back in the mainline, it would be nice to see a return of some sweet rods.

Couple of Mehzda's on my blog today:

Tomica Limited Mazda Savanna RX-7

TLV Mazda E2000 Toyo Kogyo(old Mazda name)

I actually like the truck. It's a neat addition to my TLV collection!

Mazda Monday?

The truck looks good, especially in the last couple of pics with the canopy removed. 👍

It was Sunday here, but that works. :tup:

I agree on the truck. It's a neat looking truck without the canopy!

Stop living in the past!

Also, pics of your green TL RX-7. ASAP. :tup:

Some good stuff in here.

I have both Mustangs and GT40s coming my way. Can't wait!

THE CORVETTE.

The NSX is too damn expensive.

You fool! You should've bought the Hachiroku! Making history as the first GTP member to post an personally-owned Itasha scale model (probably)!

Kakashi-san, I'm disappoint. Nazedesuka...?

Itasha ga DAIKIRAI!

I am not too fond of the Itasha culture, and the boxy shape of the Hachiroku doesn't fare too well with those anime liveries.

Itasha literally means "pain car".

Demo...!

Ah, I kid.

It's understandable that some don't enjoy this kind of livery in cars, especially if the shape of the car in question doesn't merge well with the livery. In the case of the Lucky Star AE86, it looks like a scale model car that was had stickers put in it by a 6-year-old. Obviously that last part means it's not a flattering comment about the quality of the thing...

I will say this; yes, the culture can be iffy (aren't most JDM car-centric cultures...?). But there are good works of art in the "pain car" category. The one you found just isn't one of them...

You need help, Group? I'll gladly take that off your hands for... two Chuck E. Cheese tokens! How does that sound?

Joke aside, that is a nice truck (a tow truck?). The free keychain is just icing on the cake.
I guess Takara Tomy really wants their customers to display Tomica pride...?

It's one of the 5th Anniversary lottery prizes from 2009. Only 100 of each were awarded, and someone in Japan now has a bunch of my money.

Well that explains the rarity of its sight, really. Such a strange prize list, though; two trucks and a keychain. Not much variety...

But looking at it, it ends up making sense in a twisted ironical manner; doesn't one have to spend a gigaton of money to win a real lottery...? Not much difference in this case... Just the (literal) size of the prize.

The castings aren't unique--the gimmick was the chrome finish. There were a total of four, spread out through the entire year:

That gen Nissan Gloria is one of those celebrated cars in Japan and the standard castings already go for a lot. I can only imagine how insane the price would be if a prize car ever came up for sale.

 

[CodeRedR51]

@a6m5 I might need your help again.

 

[Spacegoat]

I don't even want to begin to think about how much that thing cost you.

Awesome addition to the collection. 👍

Thanks. I wasn't sure about it until I saw someone selling the keychain alone for ¥25k. Then, the stupidly expensive truck suddenly seemed like a bargain

I don't either, but this one doesn't look bad. XD

When I saw this post on my lunchbreak, I think my exact words are "You gotta be ****ing ******** me!!!!!!". I like you, but you crazy.

It's okay, we won't judge. You should tell us how much.

Can I feature your photos on my blog? I envy oh so strongly..... I've never seen such clear photos of them before. Amazing.

It gets worse. I bought the fire engine too as part of the same deal. Had it shipped separately to avoid the USPS potentially destroying both in one go.

Not a problem. I can probably get some better ones later. There was also a winner's notification letter in Japanese that I forgot to photograph.

Awesome. Let me know when you got some pictures. Thank you for letting me feature it. These are the craziest coolest TLVs!!

Well, this was a surprise today. They were only shipped out last Thursday.

Thumbs up to TomyTec on the Cosmo, they nailed it. The detailing is just superb.

As much as I'd love a TLV keychain. I don't want one that badly. Ridiculous.

Nice! 👍

IMO the Honda looks way cooler and detailed haha.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

This can't be right, right Andy?

What's not right, Bonsai-jiisan? The "making history" bit...? Just wondering, that's all.

And @Spacegoat, I have no favorite in those two buys you made. But that's not because they're both bad, mind you. In fact, it's the exact opposite; they're both great in their own right. The Cosmo has a detailed engine bay, but the color looks... I dunno, strange. Perhaps it's a lighting thing, perhaps it's not, but I feel the color not as white as it's supposed to be. I wouldn't say the Honda surpasses the Mazda in terms of detail, they're evenly matched for me, but the paint looks slightly nicer in it than it does in the Cosmo.

These are my five cents on the matter, anyway. They're both worthy of being labled as top-notch Tomytec products. I'd go for the Mazda just because it's my personal favorite, color issues notwithstanding...
