Current collection so far:

^ Mostly Hot Wheels of various series, along with a couple old AUTOarts and a trio of Greenlights. Still missing a couple Hot Wheels in my tool box at work, along with a ton of other old stuff I have somewhere at my mom's house.

Very nice set, Venom. I see you have both Bullit cars and a truckload of Porsches. Basically your good taste hasn't really changed, even with the size difference...

I do see what you've done there. 👍!

See? Top notch car comedy! If I buy another 4C, my prize Oscar-winning one-liner will be ruined. I can't afford to lose such a prestigious prize...

You guys know how to keep Hot Wheels chrome paint rims from chipping away ? I just put a bunch on my desk and some of them starts to chip *sigh*

 

[tankuroded]

Has anyone ever dealt with decals/stickers in mainline, racing car based Tomicas? I just got this - and installing the decals are pain in the butt.

Me wonders how you got your hands on a multipack exclusive 911 GT2 without being in possession of the other multipack cars.

Saw some Majorette cats at TRU. Don't see what all the fuss is about, they're not that great.

It's something different, but I passed, too. My beef with them were the cards. Instead of open-ended hooks, they are just punched holes. Meaning it's hard to take a closer look at the cars towards the back on the pegs.

Edit: Been looking at online listings of AutoWorld GT40s. Still on the fence. And @Spacegoat needs this.

Also noticed that. Probably why half of them were laying on the shelf below the pegs when I walked up to look at them.

You need the black one for sure. Just do it.

Picked this up today.

 

[Spacegoat]

And @Spacegoat needs this.

Ooh, the STP version doesn't pop up very often. Looks to be in fairly good shape too. $30 bucks shipping though, no thanks.

I looked at like half of them & called it good. They need to redesign those cards though.

Black does look good. White one, too.

It looks interesting, but I still prefer the styleside bed!

You've seen it before. For me, it's $22.75 shipped.

 

[Spacegoat]

You've seen it before.

Only a couple of two or three times before? Honestly though, I haven't looked for any Ruff Trek's in years now.

Know how much you like my 7-Up one. You should ask this dude for a quote on shipping. Can't be that much more expensive.

Ah, okay. I just ran into it accidentally. That transporter's kinda cool though.

Wow. That one is nice. Can I have it shipped to you, and you can combine it with all the cars you are holding for me?

 

[Spacegoat]

I'd love to get the 7-Up transporter. From what I can see of it, it looks awesome.

Picked up some more July Tomica

Tomica #27 Nissan NV200 NYC Taxi

Dream Tomica R03 Ride On Minion Stuart x Lucy's Car

This is such an amazing car. Good weighty feel, nice casting, TLV quality. One of the best in my collection!

Black does look good. White one, too.

Are you considering the AW GT40 in solid black or the Mijo Exclusives #2 Le Mans black?

I wasn't impressed with the solid black AW GT40. But that Mijo Exclusives release is amazing.

EDIT: Just ordered the TLV 787b. Was also considering the Rally Datsun, but since it is based on a film model and not the real-life rally car, I'm going to pass.

I bought the street version (solid black) and love it, and I'm ordering the race version shortly.

I'm leaning towards the mijo exclusive, too. Still on the fence though.

Edit: I already had the mijo versions in the cart, so I went with them. Damn you guys with your peer pressure. Jk

 

[RCKakashi14]

Fancy some UCC Coffee Skylines?

 

[a6m5]

My amiami stuff came in today with re-order of Spark cars. Both cases & cars in one piece this time. :tup: Also got that yellow/black Porsche + Toyota Hybrid Le Mans car, and man, they look good. Also picked these up during lunch:

Second Subie, this time for my de nephews. I've been hoping to run into the purple Challenger. I feel like I've seen it before, but I'm old, so I'm not sure. It felt like the first time again, just not 100% certain.... 💡

Almost forgot, couple of blogposts too:

TLV Datsun Fairlady - Repost(thanks to photobucket fiasco), but man, it still looks amazing.

New post, but of really old car. Matchbox World Class Ferrari F40.

I wish TLV released this car. It would be super realistic, including the price..... ? 💡

I've definitely seen it before. In fact I did a detailing job on it years ago and posted it in the customs thread.

I think I have one, but of different color. Purple hasn't been out that long, has it?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Sort of. I picked it up a couple months ago but it may have been online. Might be hitting stores just now, I also saw one yesterday on the pegs. It's pretty nice. That Subaru though, not so much.

I remember the car was released as this which is what I used for my detail job. And yours looks like a mirror image to this one. I am in a dark room right now and my phone screen brightness is all the way down, so that may be interfering with how well I can see your pic as well as the lighting of your pic, but the two cars look like the same thing from what I can see.

EDIT: Upon closer better look, it looks like yours may have hood stripes and the Lamley one doesn't, and yours also looks like it's a lighter shade of purple. So I guess the two are mostly the same but slightly different.

Agreed. Not a disaster, but these new castings don't impress me the way those really good ones from few years ago did. I think handful are still really good, but they've been mostly meh for me.

Thank you for doing the legwork. 👍 When I saw the date on that lamley post, I was mildly shocked.

No problem. I myself was a little thrown off.

Couldn't agree more, such a great model. Interior detail is top notch. 👍

Red interior is best though.

Is that the same one Japanese girl just tweeted? Red interior does look very good dude. 👍

For anyone who's interested. Greenlight R34's.

Appears so.

What good taste she has! :tup: Although she didn't press the roof down properly and it's driving me mad.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Nothing's perfect, that's for sure. Look at those paint bubbles.


However, that's the best new casting Jada has ever come up with. No longer a victim of those oversized tires.
