But it’s the prices that really surprise me. Everything is more expensive. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong shops, but if so, those travel guides are crap.

Naturally assumed that stores in Japan would be cheaper than pretty much anywhwere else. Crazy.

Isn't that just CM's Corp?

So they’re probably 2 distinct brands.

These are no brand and unlicensed stuff. Quite a few being released now. Taobao has many listed.

There’s something wrong with capitalism when JP version Tomicas are cheaper in HK than in Japan! For example the latest Tomica Ferrari box set is HKD30 cheaper in HK than in JP, and that’s after tax reduction!

Found a Corvette C7.R today at the local Walmart, so I bagged it. Here it is with a Z4 GT in the background.

This brings my total collection of Hot Wheels GT racing cars up to two. Hoping to expand it further soon.

Not decided yet, but a potential shopping list from Loosecars.com.

If anyone could give some input on the credibility or quality of this website, that would be appreciated. Then I could get them all in one go.

Got four plastic hot wheels cases, and the hot wheels display case with the blue Silverado, gonna start opening my cars tonight.
 
...and Amazon have cancelled my HW FnF R32 and S15 also :irked:

Guess I'll just have to wait until the scalpers get them up on eBay.
 
So how many Ford GT40 Gulf Auto World out there ?
I know there is the number 6 and 7, but i just saw another number 40. Can't seem to find the reviews on youtube.

@RCKakashi14 did you get this? It was just released yesterday. But the shops will only have received shipments in the afternoon.

This is one amazing release from Tarmac. Personally for me, there are only two or three Tarmacs worth buying. This is another. Great casting design, and good QC. Tarmac must have taken some tips from Ignition Model on how to make a decent diecast. Buy one if you can.

The headlights look a lot better than their other models. I should have ordered Stella Artoist back then...

Too bad I wasn’t able to... :banghead: :(
 
Although this number includes 1/18 models:

Here's the count of cars I've bought in the following years:

2014: 387
2015: 218
2016: 101
2017: 79
2018: 42

Hoping in 2019, factoring unexpectedly desirable casting releases from Mattel I can't help but get one (or two) of, the count will be slashed by half.

This makes me more confident that the RWB I pre-ordered will actually be good... Unlike the other Tarmac Models I have which aren't great.
