That Driftstar or whatever it's called.

Mine was $20, shipped. That's a old one, Johnny!

I still exist, even if it doesn't look it. Somewhat recent haul. First pic goes directly to the collection, second pic are projects and donors.

Zoinks!

The Driftsta? Aw Johnny, how could you pass on that spectraflame rose beauty? For shame. It even has the awesome stripe on top the normal version didn't.

Surprisingly enough I actually do like it. It just appeals to me for some reason.

 

[yabiggoose]

Well a solid GG on that one lol.

 

[a6m5]

You guys are funny. I like that one, but it's heavily JDM & it's a odd fantasy casting, so I'm sure lot of collectors can't stand it.

I just posted one, and it's a release you guys have missed. Probably a hobby release that you could find only online:

Johnny Lightning Tow Truck

Spoiler

Rust effect's pretty horrible. lol

 

[Spacegoat]

Silly Space Goat Knight

Ooh, I'm a knight now? Sweet!

I also said that a few pages ago! It's far from an unpopular opinion from that alone...

Sorry, I clearly missed you saying that. It's a mildly unpopular then.

And double sorry, I've never heard of Chargeman Ken before (I can see what you're saying about the pattern though). But at the very least, Chargeman Ken sounds like an excellent new nickname for a certain a6m5.

I can't imagine it being much larger though. It looks plenty big to me,but I don't remember the original car much at all, at least not in detail.

I can only go off the films but it looks a lot bigger to me.

You trust a company that makes brand new products to make old products?

Well someone had to update your goat status, might as well be me... Firstly because if you take the "goat" off the nickname and spin it into Japanese, it becomes either the name of a Skyline variation or an anime. Depending on what the 2nd-to-last letter is (either "Tekkaman" for the anime, or "Tekkamen" for the Skyline R30 RS), that is...

But for now I shall stick to the former description, because it sounds fancy and silly. And you do make some pretty royal choices, so the shoe fits.

There you go, gotta clarify things the right way. We're on the same unpopular boat, so we must stick together...

And it's ok if you never heard of Chargeman Ken before, it's as obscure as you can get with old Japanese animated series. The only reason people might hear about it is because of hilariously bad it all is, a case of "so bad it's good" territory... I must ask though, why would it make a good nickname for Inspector Bonsai jii-san? Because he charges ahead with purchases without thinking...?

 

[Apok]

More CM's? Yes.










Yes, the 2006 and 2007 pairs are the exact same with just a different number and name. I couldn't be happier to have them.

 

[AOS-]

Apok is now the CM's hunter now.

This your Jauce order?

 

[Apok]

Nope, these came from eBay for a very fair price.

 

[a6m5]

Not necessarily, but that really doesn't excuse it either. There are plenty of decent examples out there.

I can only go off the films but it looks a lot bigger to me.

I just looked at my picture again, I agree with you.

You guys are both on my list.

I have three Focuses myself. Really nice CM's. 👍

ebignorjp?

ebignorjp?

I love how you guessed that off of 'from eBay for a very fair price'.

 

[a6m5]

He's a real high volume seller on eBay, as far as CM's go.

 

[AOS-]

Getting that reaction is the best feeling for nerds.

I love how you guessed that off of 'from eBay for a very fair price'.

You are talking to your predecessor here.

 

[GTboyz]

I'm seriously in love with the Tomica Premium R30 Skyline. Anyone have one ? How's the quality?

I don't care for it.... but everyone else seems to like it alot.

I guess if I'm a knight now, does that mean I've been knighted too? It's now Sir Spacegoat to you. J/k

That's perfect and so, so much better than the reasoning I had. 👍 Just thought it sounded rather humorous.

More CM's? Yes.

Beautiful. Especially the 2007 pair, nice looking livery on those two. 👍

I just looked at my picture again, I agree with you.

You need to see the first two Mad Max films, if you haven't already.

You guys are both on my list.

Pretty sure that I'm a permanent fixture on that list by now.

 

[a6m5]

That Johnny Lightning Texaco Tow Truck I bought, it turns out had I bought the "Mijo" exclusive, it would've been without the rust/distressed effect. Too late now.

You need to see the first two Mad Max films, if you haven't already.

I've seen them at least couple of times. Good films, but I don't remember a whole lot, especially details on vehicles.

Pretty sure that I'm a permanent fixture on that list by now.

At this rate, it would be named the "Jarrod Blank List" before too long!

"Who's on that list?"
"Who do you think!?"

P.S. Congrats on a "like" from Tomytec PR department. They must really appreciate it when somebody actually encourage sales of Prairie castings.

Wait, is that really the TomyTec PR dept? I had no idea. Awesome! Though I'm guessing that they automatically like any retweet.

And fake news, the Prairie's are best sellers. I'm sure of this!

I'm sure Jun Imai's working on his version right nAO(!), as we speak.

 

[Spacegoat]

Would replace the 510 as HW's most popular JDM casting, most definitely!

nAO

Jeez, that's a throwback. Wonder what ever happened to Phil?

 

[GTboyz]

The 993 looks so good. Excuse the poorly drawn turning lights.

 

[a6m5]

RLC Ghostbusters Ecto-1

MiJo Exclusive AutoWorld GT40s

Would replace the 510 as HW's most popular JDM casting, most definitely!

Put the pink frosted donuts down, Jarrod!!

Jeez, that's a throwback. Wonder what ever happened to Phil?

He comes & goes.

No, you're Sir Space Goat Knight Spacegoat. You'd do well to remember your rank properly, Sir...

That's perfect and so, so much better than the reasoning I had. 👍 Just thought it sounded rather humorous.

Well I thought that was your reasoning for it. Guess not... At least it made me join the prestigious Jarrod Blank List, so it's a win-win situation for me. 👍

And yes, congrats on being noticed by Tomy's PR department, like Inspector Bonsai jii-san said. It's always good to see a foreigner's passion for JDM scale models being properly recognized... 👍

Man, while browsing for a Tomica Premium R30, i came across Greenlight Black Bandit Montecarlo SS, a bit cheaper than Tomica and now i can't choose. Anyone knows pros and cons of each manufacture? I never buy a Greenlight, though it's detail is decent imo.
