Looks better in silver rims...

I think I'm becoming addicted to buying these things, they're dangerously affordable .

Anyone from Australia can give me suggestions on places to find some good HW with decent prices?

the yabiggoose man himself can be your potential supplier.

They are affordable, until you started noticing yourself buying 3 cars every 2 days and your bank account slowly crumbles.

Ran to Phoenix tonight after work for something. Stopped by TRU on the way home and picked this up. (not my pic again, obviously with the water mark dead center)

The DIY is out of control with that particular R33, I've never so much stuff for one car before. And where'd those MBX come from? Got to say I'm liking the M1. Pretty cool. 👍

Nice find Jacob. I am jearous.

I bought them loose years ago. I have part 2 coming up, likely in the next batch of posts. These cars are quite a change of pace for me!

They come from the good ol' days of the '90s.

After pulling it out, I think to myself how Auto World gets away with selling these things for $6. The quality of the paint (I can seriously see my reflection in the roof), precise details and full metal construction make it worth more than that IMO. Pretty impressive.

That seems about right. Cars normally have to wait a year or three before you add them to the blog. J/k

The 90's were the best.

Bang for the buck factor is pretty high with Auto World. They kinda remind me of TLV, while its closest competitor is GreenLight. Detailing's really top notch. I've mentioned this before, but quality resin parts for head/tail lights would make them even better.

My dream is to change the name of my blog to betterlatethannever.blogspot.com.

The 90's were the best.

Second best, but 1990, maybe even '91 were pretty much the 80's in overtime.

I wonder if makeminicarpicsgreatagain.blogspot.com is available?

Could possibly even throw '92 in there as well. The '80s hangover was real. 👍

DudeI didn't know your second name was Jacob.

I want to agree with you but because myself never existed during that decade, sadly the '90s will take first place.

Sneak peek at R30 Skyline in new 2018 packaging.

"omg don't do this to me, Mattel!"

 

[CodeRedR51]

Saw these and passed them both up.

Why the Hakosuka though?

edit:

Hold the phone, there's some inbound dinner cars.

That livery tho. How far would you go?

I will make red baseball caps to promote my blog.

Everybody knew that. If you stopped by this thread more often you'd have known it too!!!

Just look at Bobby Brown, he was so much awesomer in the 80's than the 90's. It's irrefutable.

It looks way too Japanese to be Hot Wheels.

All I could find are these today(and this is the "new" stuff we just got!!), and you are passing on those. Nice.

I think that Skyline casting is one of the ugliest & most overrated castings of our time. I'd like to see how improved this one is, but it's not worth the prices they command for me. VW crew cab looks good, but the demand for these things....

I just don't fine either of them appealing.

I wish I had that kind of discipline.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Liveries are meh. I only collect cool cars now.

 

[a6m5]

Oh, whatever...



Speaking of discipline, I saw this on amiami & preordered it here for the very lack of discipline:

Pricing is as good as the lowest prices I found on eBay & you actually may have chance at the chase cars. "Chase", or "Super" in Japanese looks really stupid on these cars though. By stupid, I mean the other word that's not very P.C.

 

[yabiggoose]

I don't know anyone's name on here lol

 

[GTboyz]

Focus RS is actually one of the great looking models. The black one is hard to get sadly.

Today was a huge success simply because I got a trailer. I'll explain.

Years ago I bought an old Matchbox Honda motorcycle. Shortly after I found out that it originally came with a trailer and since then I've been looking for that trailer. Today I found it and I do believe it's the same trailer that the motorcycle came with when it was originally released. The trailer was in a bag with some old Tootsie toys and only cost $6. I got the bag of literally just for the trailer alone.

Jarrod calls me the Japanese Larry Bird, but I don't think that's my real name.

That is so awesome Johnny. Can I show your pics on my blog? I've never gotten around to shopping for one, but I am a fan of those things, too. Good job completing the set! 👍
