Well that came quickly:

Who's ready to spend a fortune on these?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just found out that my work has some of the Greenlight Nissan Titan's in blue with a trailer and a Datsun 240Z. Not available in stores. Picking one up tomorrow for $12. There's also a single pack truck in yellow but they sold out I guess. Retail versions will be gray and red.

I didn't even know that they were doing Titan. That's different. Can I put your post on my blog?

Sure. John at Lamley wants me to make a post for his blog lol. I have to take some photos tomorrow.

I knew they were coming out with one, first to retail should be a gray version with a trailer (no car) and then a single pack with a red one. The Nissan exclusive's are this one and a yellow single pack.

Ah, okay. I don't want to step on John's toes. Thanks anyway. I'll just tweet it. 👍

I didn't care for their yellow trucks, but as a 1/64 GreenLight, it should look pretty nice. I can't believe it was sold out already though. This stuff must be pretty popular where you work.

Stuff from a week ago:

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Are 2019 Hot Wheels hitting stores yet? My stores are still on P and A case cars.

 

[BLiTZ]

Just ordered the 3 F&F Nissans via Amazon.com, though the delivery estimate suggests I wont see them until early next year.

After shipping and duty they worked out about £7.00 each so still cheaper than trying to bag them on eBay!

HW supplies round my way have dried up somewhat. Of the three local stores that used to stock them, 1 (Tesco) has now scaled down their toy offering and replaced HW with their cheap and nasty own-brand generic toy cars, the second (Wilco) haven't had any new stock for months and the 3rd (Sainsburys) only had the Gran Turismo sets.

I stopped for fuel at a larger Tesco last night and a similar story there, a few GT cars (reduced by the way) and a opened case of mainline that's been sat there under a shelf since the last time I went there.

I was hoping to find an RS6 as that's the only other 2018 car I wanted to grab, but it fills me with dread that I'm unlikely to ever see the Sport Quattro, or 2019 Skylines as fo some reason this time of year turns into some sort of HW void where the last and first cases of the two years never show up!

My Asda workplace has totally dried up. No 2019 stuff yet.

I gave up on my nearest ASDA as it's clearly got a resident scalper. They get regular stock, but all that's ever there is rows of neatly lined up generics, never a single licensed casting. I suspect it could be a member of staff looking at the way they're put out like that in the dump bins!

Haha, I didn't want to be that guy, which is why I've never looked in the warehouse for boxes or struck up a dialogue with the staff member for toys. The fun for me is finding what's on the peg.

 

[GTboyz]

Didn't know JL made Thunderbolts.

A case would be 2019.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

A case would be 2019.

Oh yeah. Well I haven’t seen any more A case cars and B case ones too.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Not sure about this set. I fell like there are many other cars they could have used that would have been better...

MiniGT are really getting their act together now. Another high quality and great value release. They put Tarmac to shame, and with recent Inno releases suffering QC problems, TSM are moving ahead.

A heads up for anyone wanting this. On both MiniGT and Tiny’s Facebook page they said global shipments have been cut in half due to production issues. Don’t know if this is true, or some clever marketing to get people to buy.

It certainly looks like it’s now limited. I didn’t preorder it and went to the Collectors Mecca to try and get one. Only one shop had it and they only had the incorrect steering wheel position version left.

It has just been released so maybe more shops will get stock today, but shops here tend to get stock on the same day.

Damn... Good thing i pre ordered 3 pcs.

Deleted.

butt

FD2 is the new GTR

 

[CodeRedR51]

Is it me or does that roof like look like it's way off? The slope on the windshield is crazy.

Also, will wait to judge the final versions. The wheel/tire fitment is not great. One of the things that 1/64 manufactures tend to get wrong most of the time.

Yeah, from what i see, One Model doesn't look that good.

Inno’s implementation for comparison




And a lot of HK exclusives recently

 

[AOS-]

Yeah I thought the slope of the A-pillar was gnarly too when I first saw it.

But that aside the rest of the car is looking crisp.


Edit: Hold on this is what I originally wanted to share:

Initial D Movie set by Kyosho. March 2019

https://diecastsociety.com/kyosho-164-initiald-movie-edition-set/

Oh how Kyosho has fallen from its greatness. Will we ever get back the days of crispy edges in diecast molds?

 

[Spacegoat]

Not sure if someone has mentioned this already but Spark releasing these three next month. Pre-ordered the two Manthey Racing ones.

(Calling @RCKakashi14)

 

[domalorite]

I’ve noticed recently a lot of Kyosho for sale here in HK but with new packaging. Re-releasing old stuff?

 

[MedigoFlame]

Found some interesting RealToys at the local fleamarket. Unfortunately they're wrapped in a tray and it originally costed $30, but was reduced to $15. Not sure if it's worth it. I was rather interested in the Focus rally car, Vehicross, and Supra.

Also found a rather beat up Corgi Bond Bug. Was a little tempted to buy it as well.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Those will go nicely with my Johnny Lightning gulf set. The Hot wheels one needs a Ford GT 40 in there and maybe a Porsche.

Were the previous releases this bad? This one looks clumsy for Kyosho.

Falken looks nice.

I have no idea, but I found more Super Chrome cars today.

For my nephews. I have a top-left car I use to race de nephews & as all our fast "go-to" cars, it has a nickname: "Who's Your Daddy?" I only know its real name because I can see it on the card in this photo. They both fear Who's Your Daddy? Fast & good jump/loop car.....
