Gotcha. I have a pre-order in through Japan Booster. Excited about the car, with some slight reservations due to the plastic parts we saw from pics in this thread.

I hope I haven't put anyone off buying the 787b. It's still a highly detailed and good looking car. I would imagine when some of you receive yours will say "what the hell is that domalorite talking about"
But for me, the expectation, the reputation, and for the price, I expected it to be the best of the best at 1/64 scale. I think everyone will agree that the Silhouettes represent the best 1/64 diecasts. This is no Silhouette.
Looking at it again today and noticed some more issues. I mentioned the paintwork is spotty. The reason is the use of waterslide decals for some of the livery. This should be full on Tampo printing. This car is all about the livery, and cheaping out on production using stickers is an insult to the legendary design.
How are Those plastic side mirrors attached to the base? By melting the plastic! Cool!
Not as bad as @RCKakashi14 Mitsubishi but I don't think this one can be fixed.

You know, I wasn't really worried about the Mazda. I can live with the issues that @domalorite found with his. At least I wasn't worried about it, until this post. Thanks a6.
Actually that doesn't look all that bad to me. Sure it's crooked but unless you're really trying to look for it, you're not going to pick up that it's crooked, at first glance. I can stomach it.

They should make a peasants version of the 787B for people like me that can't buy online or spend a lot on one car, aka a Hot Wheels 787B.
All jokes aside however I do have a question: Has the Hot Wheels Dodge Rampage been retired or has it just simply been a while since it was last offered? I know it was offered in the Road Trippin line a few years ago and I even bought some of them for customs.

It's $60 + frigging shipping. It should be absolutely perfect. This isn't $10 Kyosho.
I can't believe it hasn't happened yet!They should make a peasants version of the 787B for people like me that can't buy online or spend a lot on one car, aka a Hot Wheels 787B.

The collector I mentioned earlier, he tweeted that if his 787B looked like yours, he would've kept it.
I totally agree man. 👍 I whine quite a bit about GreenLight & TLV on my blog, but it's because I'm passionate about those brands. And because I'm a pretty big whiner.
I like what I'm hearing.I remember I said years ago that I wished Hot Wheels would have made Gran Turismo cars and look what happened. Maybe it'll happen again.
I'm also nervous. It's a long wait for us, too.I agree with you but that one's so slight, it honestly doesn't bother me too much.

All up around $90 aud for me for the 787.
I'm hoping I can sell it.

DOWNFORCE BRO!
Who knows, that may be the secret why it won the Le Mans in 1991! Toyota should be taking notes.
I would adjust it, but if it would risk breaking off, I will end up depressed and regretful.

I don't believe he took one.Did he post a picture of it? Interested to see exactly how bad it is.
Yeppers.
It'll still be a solid piece to have in your collection. I wouldn't rush to sell it, even if that happens to be the eventual goal. Unless TLV overproduced this thing, it should sell out soon.
Or don't break down on the last lap (too soon lol).Toyota should be taking notes.

Ouch!
That’s it though. Who would risk it on a $70 item?
It’s like those custom Akado’s I buy. They recently have included a custom rear wing that we can replace the original with. But who would do that to a $100+ car?

I'd be very surprised if you lose any money on it. It should command some good $$$ on the resale market. But like a6 and GroupB said, I'd be sitting on it for a little while first.
Brutal.
