This may be unbullievably expensive:

Cash cow perhaps? That’s debatabull.

They actually look good.

 

[domalorite]

have any pictures

Blue is out. Production photos later. I’ll password protect them so only you can view.

Edit:

Ok, the worst QC ever. Unbelievable... I will exchange it tomorrow. Shocking. And those rubber side mirrors are almost falling off already. I’ll reveal what it is after I have exchanged it.

It looks like those cars have got cataracts.

I hadn't really posted much on my blog lately, but if anything drives me, motivates me, it's the really good ones.... and really bad ones. lol

When I first saw it, I was staring at these pics Jarrod posted, just shaking my head. I'm glad it's not as bad as GreenLight 240Zs were? But yeah, it's pretty bad, dude.

On the bright side at least they didn't give the 510's the monster truck treatment like they did with the 240z's.

They still look like crap though.

I think I see opening hood on there. It would be nice if they could learn to make a proper casting before they start adding opening doors or hoods.

 

[a6m5]

Sorry for the double post, but I ordered couple of items today.

This just now. Mail-in car is the Chevy Gasser!

Also the RLC Membership. @domalorite was able to order it too, so maybe they are now going worldwide?

Getting my hands on those Porsches matter to me the most.

Next month will be the arrival of the FK8 Civic Type Rs in Aegean Blue in my place. Hehe. Thinking if I should get one.

 

[domalorite]

going worldwide?

Yup. http://hotwheelscollectors.mattel.com/shop/en-us/hwc/rlc-membership-summary

OK, now following on from my previous post. I am unable to exchange the TSM car today as the shop decided to close early. From the Facebook group it seems I'm not the only one with a defective car. I messaged the shop owner last night to see if I could exchange it today, which he said was OK. But then, early today he posted a message on Facebook that we should go back for a refund, and wait for a new batch to buy again. In HK, consumer protection is terrible and refunds are unheard of. As the shop closes early today and I won't be able to go tomorrow, and it is the Chinese New Year on Friday, so I won't be able to get an exchange/refund until middle of next week at the earliest.

i wanted to wait and get an exchange before posting these photos, as it may just be a one off bad batch. A member of the Facebook group had no problem with theirs, so I was hoping I got unlucky.

But here we go...

 

[RCKakashi14]

I love the fact that it’s metalflake color, but the rest is just awful.

Could this be another Tarmac with QC issues?

 

[a6m5]

It screams Asian GreenLight to me without even getting to the defect. Defect part is just unbelievable. I totally hear you on the QC issue now. Just wow.

 

[domalorite]

Asian GreenLight

Is that a compliment??

I want everything.
But let's think about the cars I really need in my collection:
Pagani Zonda Cinque
Pagani Huayra BC
BMW M4
Chevrolet C7.R
McLaren 720S
LB Works Nissan GTR R35

 

[a6m5]

Is that a compliment??

Maybe promising prospect with lot of flaws?

 

[GTboyz]

I... Actually think this is still okay...

Looks like somebody with clumsy fingers got his hands on some superglue.

I know it’s probably a ‘No’ to this question, but is the interior two-tone?

And judging from the underbody which is in one colour, it seems like I shouldn’t be looking forward to their Maserati GranTurismo.

Perhaps I’m expecting too much.

Asian Greenlight to Tomytec "Hey at least we glue the parts on for them. No DIY here!"

Inside is single colour grey. The steering wheel is on the CORRECT side!

I went to my local grocery shop (Twitter fun) and the guy there said a common complaint with the Asian Greenlight are front and rear headlights falling off. Asia editions are boxed and shrink wrapped so no knowing whats inside. North America and Europe will be better as they will use blister packaging. With this kind of QC I'm not sure anyone in Asia will be willing to take a lottery to try and get a good piece.

And, June Tomytec. Honda S600 and S800! Already preordered!

Oh dear, I might have to get that S600. The colour is so pretty. Curse you TomyTec, you keep drawing me back in.

And sucks big time about the Mini GT Civic you got. That is just unbelievable how bad that model is.

 

[a6m5]

They are neat as hell, and these new colors are awesome, but I already have all the TLV Honda S600/800 I need.

Now, this one I had to have:

RLC is now worldwide? Hot diggity damn. Shame it's after that gorgeous blue 69 Mustang.

I offered one of those to you at cost!

 

[Spacegoat]

What about a bus? Surely you've got room for another one.

Good to see you're blogging again too. Skyline looks sweet. 👍

 

[a6m5]

What about a bus? Surely you've got room for another one.

Yep, but it has to be the Tokyu bus, my hometown bus. When you see one of these for preorder, let me know.

At today's exchange rates, it's $74 + shipping. You know I'm a big fan of TLV buses(have several, including two Tokyus), but these new ones cost double the money of the older "vintage" buses & I'm not impressed by their quality at all, at least from what I've seen online. At something like $80 with shipping, it better be one remarkable model. I'm sure they are selling like hotcakes.

Good to see you're blogging again too. Skyline looks sweet. 👍

Thank you! I just got this in the mail today, so I had to do a quickie. It's a good looking $TH. 👍

 

[Spacegoat]

That's the one, I couldn't remember what it was called or what it looked like. Hopefully they release that next. 👍

Madness.

Did you check the price of the Honda's? The white one I backordered last year from 2012, cost like $15? These new ones work out to just over $20 with the current exchange rate.

Thank you! I just got this in the mail today, so I had to do a quickie. It's a good looking $TH. 👍

So this doesn't mean your winter break is over?

$15 to $20's one thing. $30 to $70+ is something else completely.

So this doesn't mean your winter break is over?

I'll get to posting more soon. 👍

 

[Spacegoat]

Definitely. It's just crazy how much their prices have increased across the whole range over the past few years.

I'll get to posting more soon. 👍
