make and scale of the honda city turbo with motocomp?
Inno64. Some of their releases are better than Tarmac Works imo.

Finally found another RWB to crack open.

So I posted my purchases from the antique mall recently, but I haven't posted my brothers yet. Since we live together, collect together and ultimately share our collection together, I feel his are worth posting just as much as mine are.

So here it is:

Baja Breaker. The thing has an opening hood that still works and it's in great shape too! Pretty cool and probably one of my favorites out of the ones he bought.

Bronco 4-Wheeler. My brother loves Bronco's and will get any Bronco he sees, this was no exception and for good reason too. Tampos are certainly a little rough, but the rest of the casting is in pretty good shape! I have to say, I like it better when the wheels aren't sticking out like the later releases of this casting were. Overall, it's pretty darn nice and easily the best Bronco we have in our collection! I might buy one of these for myself someday.

Bywayman. While it's pretty beat up and a bit dirty, this has been a long time favorite for my brother and ever since we were little, he always was fond of this truck and similar ones like it, so it's easy to see why he got this one despite its condition. I'd love to take it apart, clean it up a bit and fix the axles, but I doubt he'll let me do that.

Bywayman. Pretty much the same reason he got the other one, except this exact one was one he had when he was younger and always cared about. Since the one he has had forever is pretty beat up now, it's nice to have a brand new one. It doesn't even feel right seeing this casting brand new because I have been used to seeing it in rough shape for many years now. Only thing is, despite it being carded, the rear axle is already bent. :(

By now, you probably noticed my brother has a love for trucks and my brother has a long time obsession with nearly all of the ones in here, so I don't think this needs much more explanation on why he bought it. Heck, I would've bought it too because some of these are pretty darn cool and I don't have very many of some of these castings in this pack either.

I don't know exactly how much he paid for these, so I cannot list the prices and I don't know if he even has his reciept anymore. :indiff: Anyways, that was what all my brother got when we went there recently.

So I think it's about time I post my findings I had in the Antique Mall.

So what we have here is two carded Park' N Plates castings, Sol-Aire CX4 and a Porsche 959, and a carded 30th anniversary Twin Mill.

The price tags for both the Park' N Plates are $15 and the Twin Mill $18. However, Jack told me he would give them all to me for $40. I did consider it, but I passed on it for the time being since I already had too many things I wanted to buy. I did however tell him to hang on to them because I might consider them the next time I go there. I'm no expert when it comes to value, but my gut is telling me this is a good deal and that I should go for it, but I'm sure ya'll will let me know if thats the case or not.

My brother did see the Porsche on Ebay recently going for way than what this one costs, so consider me tempted.
 
Latest additions. Spark Porsche RSR's Le Mans 2018. Find it funny that they arrived a couple days after this years Le Mans. Surely a coincidence? :lol:

Hang on, I haven't even been emailed about payment and yet you already have them... However I did combine the order with a Mini GT Pagani Huayra so that's probably the hold up:lol:

That will do it. :lol: I didn't have anything else on my order. Think I got the invoice on Wednesday night? They arrived here on Tuesday. Not too bad. :D
 
Box of stuff arrived

A set of 4 Kyosho Mclarens:









Thought these would be pretty boring looking since they're just the tired black on black look, but the satin finish looks pretty nifty.


This neato racing Murcielago:



No idea what racing series this is supposed to be from (EDIT: SuperGT GT300 class from 2007. It's actually a beads model that seems relatively rare.), but I like it. Even if the tail lights look a little silly.


And yet another CM's, but this time it's a car I didn't have yet:

Skyline will be hard to get, still haven’t seen the Falken Racing and the other one that came with that in stores yet.
 
I have the black RZ. Almost the perfect model, except the rear lights. I prefer the ones on the HW mainline.
 
A lot of the first set have been peg warmers, easy to get. Second set, not so much. Current set with the Falken Mercedes, etc I have not even seen yet.
Same with me. Just started to find K and L case cars at Target, no Walmart dump bin for them yet.
 
Recently, I found out that there was a variation of the Back to the Future DeLorean in the Hot Wheels premium line. I had vehicles from all three movies, but the third movie car features the 50's-style white-walls on the red wheels.

I found out that they made a version of the third movie car as it appears late in the film, on the train wheels. I likely overpaid, but, hey, check this thing out.

Won an auction for a bunch of Kyosho Lotuses at a really nice price.

And also this thing that I've wanted for a long long time, but they're always expensive (this purchase is not an exception to that rule).

:D Everything but the grille looks really good, but this isn't the newest model anymore.
 
My nephews have been into Hot Wheels for a while now and I guess it was only a matter of time before I got bitten by the bug...

And now I have over a hundred of the things, not including all the cars I had as a kid and still have in a box somewhere.

I don't collect anything specific, just whatever takes my fancy. At least this is a lot cheaper than the 1:18ths I was into about 10-15 years ago...

Also somewhat envious of all of you in the States who can get stuff like the Silhouettes series just off the shelf.
 
Nice grab! Can I ask how much you won it at?

It was 2100 JPY for all seven. Including the proxy service fee and shipping within Japan it came out to about 3,70€ per car + international shipping which was 1685 JPY for all the Lotuses and the BMW.

So all shipping plus the service fee it came out at around 5,42€ per lotus.
