I’m heading to Osaka this Christmas day, and hopefully I can find one for much less.

Nice. I've never been to Osaka. Don't forget to pick me up a Tigers hat. Just in case you forgot, my size is 7 1/4. :tup:

Heads up to anyone collecting the HW Honda CRX, new one in a 5-pack. (doesn't look bad either)

 

[AOS-]

The only thing bad in that 5-pack is that golden chin!

Overall good car selection though!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Mattel, Wut R U Doin? Stahp.

Standard mainlines don't exist at Walmart for me anymore.

Better than justice league/Star Wars fantasy car dump bins that are still at Walmart’s.

 

[GTboyz]

Loving the F40. Metal base and moving parts, what's not to like?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Looking forward to some of these.

Zero Fighter Special preorder at the Toysoul event in HK today!

I like when there's a lot of hoopla over new products but the images they use to promote them are horrible...

R.I.P my bank account.

Photos aren't that bad. Those grey prototypes look pretty solid, crooked P1 wing and all.

what's not to like?

Giant back wheels for me.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Not bad as in quality. Bad as in you can barely see the cars. Proper marketing is close up, well lit, detailed photos. That makes these ones horrible.

These are photos from the MiniGT HK facebook page, which I think is managed by the HK distributor (Tiny). You won’t see these photos on the global MiniGT Facebook page. Also the car is a HK exclusive since TSM is based in HK.

But I do agree maybe TSM themselves should have marketed it better.

I’ll be going to see these after work, so I’ll take some super duper photos with my iPhone!

Yeah?!

....oh

2017 Surf's Up '62 Chevy.. not as cool as the green.

2018 Speed Graphics '70 Camaro. It's been 4 years since I added one to the collection.

2018 Hot Trucks Datsun 620. Highlights & shadows came out super well in this shot.

 

[domalorite]

....oh

A little bulky to carry around a show floor

 

[Spacegoat]

crooked P1 wing and all.

Ah, MiniGT must be using the same people TLV use to assemble their models.

A bit. 👍

I WANT THOSE PORSCHES.

This is a Track Ripper. Cool rear and profile. Front's a bit meh, but I've touched that up: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...tomizing-thread.245745/page-300#post-12109101

This is a Sky Dome. It looks super cool in the Super Chromes series, except I coloured in the negative space between the spokes.

A little bulky to carry around a show floor

you win this time.

 

[Johnny1996]

Posting this as I believe at least one of these is a chase piece. Can anyone confirm and/or provide additional info?

The car on top has gold trim, interior, rims and chassis and is limited to 3000 pieces. The one on the bottom has chrome window trim and rims and black interior and chassis. This one is limited to 6000 pieces.

Nevermind the cars, I want that highway diorama!

No, you need them.

 

[AOS-]

Oh but those wheels are so meh, Andy.

Yeah but look at those mirrors!

You mean, us, the consumers?

Went to the toy show yesterday and took some photos. Maybe I should have taken that bazooka with me as the iPhone was totally inadequate. I was left feeling really disappointed with what was there. Basically the display booth was to promote Tiny products, and they had loads on show. In just one glass cabinet was the TSM stuff. No in your face promotion of what should be the next disruption in 1/64 diecast. No fanfare whatsoever. Did order the HK exclusive but won't be released until Q218!! And no prototype to look at either.

This was clearly zero attention by TSM, and all arranged by the distributor. I am speculating whether Tiny (who make diecasts themselves) is just using the TSM name to get a foothold in the international diecast market.

Anyway photos:



They had a MiniGT64 catalog, which revealed more than the show. https://domalorite.blogspot.com/2017/12/tsm-minigt64-catalog.html

Some interesting stuff of notice:



Two US exclusive Liberty Walk models!

Quoting an image of yours:

Is this now a Tiny x TSM thing?

Fair point. 👍

Didn't notice the NSX GT3 the first time around. Sweet.

I really get the feeling it’s a Tiny thing. Using the TSM name to push MiniGT64 to international markets. Tiny is pretty big in HK, but their cars are solely for the HK market. I don’t think they have any presence overseas at all.

That’s just me talking trash of course so don’t quote me
