Antenna's and spoilers that require installing on some models as well. That stuff is annoying but their attention to detail is top class.

Antennas I can understand, because there is no way they would survive shipping installed. Spoilers, however, is pure cost-cutting, especially when previous iterations of the same casting shipped with them installed (such as the CRX)

I came across this display case which looks decent for Kyosho models or whatever else has a similarly-shaped base. Although it's not what I'm looking for at this time, I thought some of you may be interested:

But like....Did you see the pictures provided 2 posts above yours?
Oh I forgot. I was actually looking for posts of newer Tomicas like these, though I wasn't able to indicate it exactly earlier.

But yes, those above are Tomicas, too. Thanks for pointing it out.
 
Good looking model. Do these tires look flat? Probably just lighting.

Outside of the natural light. The camera flash is the main light source because I'm too lazy to light it any other way at the moment. :lol:
 
One of my relatives had the stationwagon(I guess a "van") in green, with same wheels. I was only a toddler, but I remember it, because of those ugly wheels(covers?). lol If TLV did green with these wheels, I'm there!

The wagon would be very cool, but I’m still waiting on the 2-door sedan they previewed 10 years ago(!)

It looks like a production version in the pic. They never released that? :crazy: I’d really like the “van”. :drool:

You have so many pics online now, you need to perfect your craft amirite...... can I share your latest cars on my blog? :P

Right down to the two different color choices that they always offer, but it hasn’t happened yet. There must be a story behind it, like the mold broke or something.

Maybe got lost or something. :lol:đź‘Ť
 
Well you said "nobody", we were all talking about TLVs and Tomicas a few posts back.

The Urus look nice but I'm waiting for the GR Supra. I don't collect regular Tomica as much as Tomica Premium though.
I'm not sure why but we don't have those premium Tomicas in stores for unknown reasons. Only the regular ones are there. That's why I wasn't familiar how it looked like until some of you pointed out here recently.
 
It has become so hard to find good Hot Wheels at stores around here that I pretty much have to order all the new stuff online. Like, it is REALLY bad around here. Though, this one dealer at a flea market I go to does sometimes have the newest stuff, so I usually try to go through him before I order crap.
 
...I think I might have a problem. Top pic from Tuesday, bottom from today.

I mean, getting excited over finding all bar the rightmost 3 on the second pic from one Asda branch having driven a 40 mile round trip to comb all the supermarkets in that area and oh god what am I doing with my life

Still, the hunt is fun and I'm happy so I guess that's what matters.
