Gulf Livery Hater

Eh, not really a full livery though.

He probably give "like" for any "heads up" posts, like I do. I bet he's still not a fan.

 

[BadSushi]

Where are you? It's not great in my area either(Portland Metro, Oregon).

I'm from SEA, Singapore. Main lines cars here set you back at $2.9 USD per car, where as Premiums are $7.30 onwards. On top of that, we are lagging in waves.

 

[Spacegoat]

I was trying to be supportive!

Honestly, it's only the Gulf logo on the door. I don't mind it actually.

Is that a Hatsune Miku Mercedes AMG GT I see?

Is that a Hatsune Miku Mercedes AMG GT I see?

Yes. And also the white Supra I was unable to buy.

 

[a6m5]

If you guys want the Ignition Model GT-Rs or the white Supra @domalorite was talking about, HURRY. link

I passed, but they got that blue Civic hatch, too.

Edit: Gun metal gray's sold out(I might've taken the last one).

Edit2: Just like that, ALL GONE. I really hate Ignition Model hyping these things up with super limited 999pcs or whatever number they ended up going with. I got that Tarmac Edition blue, so I'm happy. To be honest, Supra does not look good from the pic on the Tarmac website. I wanted to see couple more pics, but on dabox website, it actually sold out while I was maybe one click away from completing the order, so I took no chance this time.

Edit3:

Preorder for the white one's still available if you want to pay $30 shipping.

 

[domalorite]

(I might've taken the last one).

Whhahaattttt! I had to endure three hours standing in sweltering heat and humidity to get my cars, while these could be bought in the comfort of one's home?!?!! **curses under own breath**

But congrats you were able to get one The Suprea is not that special and plain white isn't Tarmac speciality. To be truthful I originally wanted to go to the event to buy the BMW as it was advertised as an event exclusive (which is now available on the webstore!). But with my Ig being cancelled at the last moment the priority changed to getting those instead. It turned out well in the end and I got what I wanted, but only just... Seeing just a few left on the table as I was waiting in line was heart wrenching. Hate to be the hundred or so people behind me in the queue

 

[a6m5]

@Spacegoat - My friend! Do you still have your Tomicarama set on display? If you do, any chance you can take a measurement for me? Actually, @domalorite has one, too. If you guys can, and comment here on my Tomicarama blog page, or just in this thread & I can relay it to the guy asking. If you can, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Thanks man & I totally hear you brother. Like I commented earlier though, I put this on Ignition Model. WTH were they thinking, 999 pieces.

On the white Supra, I'm a fan of the car, so I bought one..... I'm hoping it looks much better than that in person.

 

[domalorite]

take a measurement

Will do.

And this... why bother doing an event Tarmac...

Why bother showing up late, Dom?




i kid i kid.

 

[GTboyz]

Mother of god.... AE86 Levin, Fit, DC5 Integra and FD2 Type R

 

[CodeRedR51]

Edit: Gun metal gray's sold out(I might've taken the last one).

Here's one.

 

[AOS-]

Hype + Popular seller. Damn one sucker is going to regret buying that for that price one day.

At that value, you may as well just settle on 1/43s.

 

[domalorite]

Sneak peak of the Ig. I will do a write up for it soon. Is this a TLV beater. Controversially, I am leaning towards saying it is.

Greenlight, there is something strange ...who do you call?

 

[a6m5]

Will do.

I'm not gonna lie, online business is where it's at....... but that is a huge bummer, and you are right, it's almost like a slap in the face for attendees who missed out on the special cars.

If I was Tarmac, I would've had at least more of their own cars on-hand (IG cars couldn't be helped), plus maybe other cool exclusive stuff.

Here's one.

I've seen it. IG/Tarmac Works announced Surplus Goodies as one of their dealers, I've bought cars from them on eBay before, so i kept the notification on? They got exactly one, and it's that one, in the auction mode. What a joke. I should have really mention that when I wrote about these things in my blog.

Barely worth that $68 from carloverdiecast.

Anything less I think would've been a let down.

GreenLight? Not Johnny Lighting?

For 68$ you can get EMS shipping on a 1/18 from just about anywhere. 68 CAD that is.

Well, considering the scarcity of the item with the supply vs demand of course. Generally, $68 for minicar shipped would be steep!

I spend $67 USD on one Hot Wheels Shelby Cobra in the past. Now it just sits in a cardboard box doing nothing for the rest of its life.

Sounds like it's time to sell. Besides, if you do it right, value of high profile hot wheel or minicar should appreciate in value. Can you at least get your money back on this HW Cobra?

This pretty much describes collecting in general.

The time to sell is when Hot Wheels or some worldly event makes the Shelby Cobra a hot topic. The Cobra nowadays in the Hot Wheels world has been reduced to the Colour Shifter series.

When a Shelby Cobra makes the spotlight in a Fast & Furious movie, I'll list my entire Cobra set.

I'll get on that (later :tup But just going off the pics on your blog, it should be the same size as your parking lot, maybe? Could be wrong but the tiles look like they might be the same size.

It totally does. 👍

take a measurement for me

73mm height to garage roof including base thickness
470mm length

I should probably buy it before it's sold out, or chances are I'll find it very difficult to get one.

 

[Spacegoat]

Pure blasphemy.

Thanks, but looks like Paulie came through for me. Thanks anyway broseph. 👍

So, I can put the tape measure away now?
