Never really had any models I was too interested in for Tarmac Works, but definitely looking forward to an Altezza.

That whole display, including the i30 N TCR I posted above, are Tarmac Works.
Oh right, the bodykits are different :lol:.

Guess I'm wrong? Saw the pictures from T-Hunted, saying they were Tarmac Works.

No, my bad. Sometimes I got both of them mixed up.

I don't have any Inno64 models yet. That Rally Evo III is looking quite tempting.

I got the Jackie Chan version and It looks great. Go for it.
 
Found a HW Senna for my buddy, and got the red 49 Beetle pick-up and the red Civic Type R for myself. We're in a bit of a distribution drought again in the UK, so this is welcome.

The Mini GT Huayra was finally released so my order, combined with the three Porsches, has been shipped! Should get the cars next week.

Nice. Looking forward to the pics. 👍

Got my invoice in this morning for the TLV Bluebird SSS-R and black Evo. Hopefully they might arrive sometime next week too. :)
No Integra love?

If there's nothing else that interests me in November. I might do the blue Integra. It is a good looking colour.

Having only been collecting Hot Wheels for the last 3 months or so, I did wonder if new cars arrive often or not. I've not seen either the Beetle pickup or the Civic anywhere, nor the '91 MX-5, R33 GTR, Audi Quattro, Panamera e-sport, VW T2 pickup... but we seem to get a regular supply of the same cars - 917LHs, Dodge D100s, the Golf GTi (but only the yellow one), '88 CRXs (but only the red one), and so forth. Is this normal in the UK?

Sadly, yes.

Just visited my local Tesco, they had two new cases open on the shelf, both were early 2019 mixes, green R34, red CR-X, white Tesla Model 3 etc.

Bah. That's a pity.

Thanks for the reply!
 
This is part of the reason I won't buy TLV's anymore. I want a diecast model, not a model kit.
I don't really know what were they thinking.

Like @RCKakashi14 said, they could have at least make some holes to insert them in, or some kind of guidance on where to actually put the mirrors on. I remember feeling pretty pissed when I saw it myself. They did the same thing with the damn Dino.

. Is this normal in the UK?

Only in the last 18 months or so has it become the norm. I remember getting the first batch of 2017 cars in the first week of December 2016, before the US had even got them. Asda and Morrisons were consistently bringing in the new boxes every month. And then early 2018 it all started to slow right down and the chase became much harder.

Reading into it, it seems there's a power struggle in the distribution network and it has affected the supply.
