$300HKD for these

All four for HKD300, or each? Which scalper is selling them at that price.

Peorder in a facebook group here is selling for HKD125 each. I’m not ordering. Nice looking complex livery on Tarmacs mean one thing.

I was there last week but forgot to come back to that store after looking around. Please leave the blue one for me

I've never actually paid attention to listed prices of Tarmac, and I didn't read the Facebook description. I just scanned for a number and pasted it here. 300HKD for a single car sound ridiculous, but for all 4 sounds more believable. It's Dabox that I'm grabbing the post from.

In for the Skyline and maybe the Odyssey. No interest in anything else.

The Super Van and Panel Bus are funky ugly. The Sunagon would have been much better with different hubs.

 

[a6m5]

Got the link today from HWC. I'm actually little bit excited about the T1 Panel Bus(lol), Super Van is a game time decision. Pass on the rest, Skyline looks really ugly, but it's hard to tell from pictures. Maybe it'll look better in real life, I don't know, I could be totally wrong....

 

[Johnny1996]

So my brutally honest thoughts..... T1 would look better with black body instead of yellow, Supervan for the casting itself yes but Gulf livery no and would rather see other period correct auto parts logos such as Goodyear, Sunagon HELL YES especially because of the bike on the back but that is a strange wheel choice, Skyline definitely yes as long as I can find it and Odyssey pretty meh.

I know I tend to reject the Gulf livery a lot but I do like it if it's done in (severe) moderation and isn't an overly flamboyant twist on it. At this point it's just about turned into one of those milked to hell and back, beating a much dead horse, no longer as appealing anymore kinda deals. Like telling the same joke over and over again until no one laughs at it.

That post says preorders are HKD125 each. Preorders below HKD300 need to pay the full amount.

So if you guys had to narrow down your entire collection to just one single 1:64 car and not even touch another for the rest of your life, what car would you choose? No cheating and choosing a multipack even if it's just two cars. It must be one car and one car only even if you have to open a multipack to get it. If the car is in a single pack it can be carded/in the packaging or not, your choice.

For me it'd be this Dave Blaney sprint car that I bought and had autographed at a World of Outlaws race at my local track, 2015 I believe it was.

Anybody knows what brand is this or if it is a chase car ?

Top ten desert island list was hard enough. Just one!? Right off the top of my head, TLV Super Silhouette Skyline(Early '83), or RLC Custom Mustang comes to mind, but I'm not sure. Maybe one of the Hot Wheels BRE 510s.

I believe they are supposed to be, but this brand "Shelby Collectibles", from my past experiences with them, their chases aren't worth a whole lot.

2017 felt a little lack luster for Majorette. Hope they stay long enough for the 2018 stuff to be released. Would be happy to pick up the Hilux and Cactus.

My local TRU stores are packed with these things and they don't sell. My local store has stopped selling Auto World, and a lot of other premium sets but they have like 20 pegs full of these things. I would rather have the Auto World cars back...

I figured they'd be going that way, since I remember them giving a discount on series 1 just to make room for series 2. The only real reason I was interested in Majorette was the fact that they had "normal" mainstream international cars like the Citroen Cactus and Toyota Hilux. 2017 wasn't great with cars that we could already get from the likes of Mattel.

Yes, picking just ten was hard enough. Not even going to think about trying to pick just one. Pass!

Scratch that, it'd probably be a certain Vintage Racing 510. Maybe....

Just one? Oh dear God... The only one which really springs to mind is my 2005 #2 HRT Holden Commodore V8 Supercar. Sadly, I don't have a decent photo of it!

Same here. My Toys R Us filled them up with strange color ones & they are all same 2, 3 colors. They are peg fixtures now.

My TRU has numerous quantities of same castings, like Mustangs & since they don't sell, we've been stuck with them.

Vintage Racing 510's nice, but if I absolutely had to pick one, it would this one. An absolute treasure:

Spoiler

It is from my Desert Island Top Ten List.

I might actually swap the wheels or something....

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Might pick up a few of those new Majorette models especially the two Aventadors.

Picked up the Chevy 100 set. Just missing the 47 Chevy.

 

[AOS-]

If I had to only pick one, it should be a Hot Wheels Shelby Cobra, considering how I went on a mission to obtain each and every single release.


But I think that won't be the case at this time. It may just be a Karuwaza Kyosho like the F1 GTR or blue F1.... or perhaps the Bugzees Arta NSX.

Where did you find the Tokyo Torque cars?

Toys R Us. Couldn't find them at Walmart last time i went, though they might have been out of stock.

 

[Johnny1996]

So I guess my one car challenge so far ended up being as tough as I thought it would be for you guys. If any of you want to come find me and slap me because of it, I'll pay for your airfare so long as you accept Monopoly money.

It was tough for me too. I ran through a quick list of what I had in eyesight from my position on my bed at the time, so I didn't take every car I have into account. However other than the Blaney car I had four Red Barons in mind, two of which appear to be very old releases of it and one other version separate from those two being a carded 25th Anniversary release. The fourth one I'm not sure as it looks fairly new. All four of them are in great condition and I'll post them as soon as I have the chance minus the 25th Anniversary one, only because it's currently packed away in a box that I don't have easy access to at the moment.

Also if the challenge included larger scale cars I wouldn't be sure what I would choose, as it would be a toss up between my Blaney sprint car and my 1:24 raced version diecast of the Dale Jr 2004 Daytona 500 car. My favorite driver, my favorite paint scheme and it's from my first Daytona 500. It would be a choice so tough I'd resort to a blind coin toss performed by a stranger.

So... this happened:

Time to distrust online buying again. I’ve had my doubts, but now they’ve truly solidified.

 

[Apok]

So the seller apologised and gave you a full refund?
Damn, what a stressful situation.

 

[yabiggoose]

If I had to pick a single car from my collection, the painted one from this set.

I have both loose from when I was a stupid kid and have a brand new in package set I bought last year.

One negative experience with one seller = all online sellers are going to be a bad time. Yes. That makes a whole ton of sense.
