Okie doke, sounds good to me.
So, how about I'll give you the Buick GSX for the Cougar?

I'm cool with that 👍

 

[McZachenF1138]

YOU BETT.....okay, good.

 

[a6m5]

Oh my god, did he just waive on Camaro & Firebird, then give up GSX or Cougar? I give him points on the Torino(👍), but he's crazy! braces for AOS yelling at me in Japanese.

Anyway, thought i'd post my latest diecast purchase, since AOS has decided to report me.. (don't know why,ha!), and by way of staying on topic, here i present "Moobiil 1"

I'm fully anticipating all your jelly comments in regards to this fine machine:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/34812175@N04/8090268372/

It's a Porsche 993, there's not many casts of the 993.. well unless you don't count the expensive and exact versions by 'Kyosho' and 'AutoArt', (both of those are truly awesome BTW).

Never seen a 993 scale Porsche for years!!!! You got me real jelly with this one.

I had no idea that Shelby pack was out. Ugh, why couldn't they have put the cars in the appropriate paint schemes, though? I'd buy it in a heartbeat if they looked the way Shelby intended.

I agree, Cobras, GT500s, Super Snakes and Cobra Daytonas should be in Blue w white stripes, red w white stripes etc.... Those are the the Shelby's colors that would set the whole 5 pack with pure raw torque! And a great tribute to Carroll. But, I'll take a look, whenever I see one though.

only you would say these things....

Anyways, ive got this box aswell, but my purchase for the week is the Hot wheels Classics series 5 box...

30 beutiful spectraflame real riders cars.

Yet I bought it, to get only one...

The Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato.

The holy grail of astons!

I WANT IT NAW!!!!! Give it up bro.

Yes I do belive its one of the most beutiful cars HW has ever casted

Top 5

-Aston DB4 Zagato
-Jaguar XJ13
-Ferrari 250GTO
-Ferrari P4
-Ferrari 250 Testarossa

NEED.....THOSE. CARS. NAO!!!!!!! 👍

Only collecting Mainline Japanese & high end cars.

Speaking of high end cars, anyone want to trade for a few of those pictured above?

I would, but I've found some of those cars finally and I have two to three of them already.

A small purchase from ebay arrived toady.

I got this made in France Majorette Lancia Montecarlo for 99 cents from the same seller as the next two cars that I got, that I had been searching for, for a while.

This is a Ford Econovan made by MC Toy. It was made for a Hungry Jack’s (Burger King in America) kids meal for the 1994 Rally Australia. Its another car I had when I was younger that was wrecked.

A Ford F Truck also made my MC Toys for Hungry Jacks. I’m still looking for a Ford Sierra from the same series.

 

[Shinshiki]

I got this one the other day.

This one isn't mine by the way. Mine is still in the package.

Hey, it's split between 2 people; he can't have all the good ones.



2 Boxes came in when I got home last night, was editing what photos I screwed up the focus on, fell asleep halfway and here it is now.. the summarized ver. of course.

Also, I've update entries on the Shelby 5-pack on HW Wikia . Now we just need someone to post a page on the 5-pack itself.

 

[Nessy]

@ AOS and a6m5.
Yeah i know you were kidding AOS, and a6m5, yeah it can seem to get a little weird in here sometimes , hence why i removed the post, as i thought it was maybe becoming a bit of a tired joke.

Cool Mitsuoka BTW AOS 👍, i'm tempted to get one but i think i'd choose that funny little Micra (Nissan March)/Jag Mitsuoka, that Tomica do... love that quirky little thing.

Cool 'JL' Porsche aswell a6m5 👍, i'd be willing to do an old fashion 1-on-1 gun-sling with you, just get my hands on that car... and i don't even own a gun.

Cheers Vspec 👍, you appear to be the only one jelly of the very excellent Porsche 993...
So here, have some more jelly.






They just arrived this morning, and are much better quality than the one i posted before.
It's made by 'Realtoy', and is a perfect match in scale (1/58 typical Matchbox scale) to my Realtoy Porsche GT3 RS, that i did a wheel swap on in the custom thread. I just love how Realtoy put roll-cages in most of their Porsches, though they're in much need of a colour change at some point.. so watch this space, or rather the custom thread.

[EDIT]
commodoreben, that Majorette Montecarlo looks awesome, i have it in yellow but so wish i had it in that livery, 99cents?, a proper good bargain too. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

PM's replied to.

 

[Apok]

AOS just an opinion, but for my tastes your pictures are a tad dark.
I'd try either longer exposure or editing the curves. Or if you want to be creative you could try and use another light to light up the car from above kind of like an actual light in a garage.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Stopped by Target and Walmart with nothing of interest... Then stopped by Tuesday Morning for the hell of it. Turns out they were having a 25% off sale. Anything with a yellow sticker on it was 25% off. Looked around and found what remained of the Tomica stock they had.

Launcher set with a Mazda Demio/2
Daihatsu Mira and Mitsubishi iMiEV with paper map. (I already have one, but I grabbed it for anyone else out there who wants two Tomicas)

As the regular discounted price at Tuesday Morning for the Launcher set is $3.99 and the two cars with a paper map is normally $1.99. However, they both got the 25% discount and the total cost was just $4.70! Should have grabbed the other set with the Lexus RX/Toyota Harrier.

Edit: Oh wow! I think I also had one of those Ford Econovans as a kid, but in a different livery than commodoreben's Who made them?

Edit2: Forgot to mention that I found two 30 Hot Wheels garage sets at the store. However, they weren't discounted... Still at $39.99

Yup. Still working on finding good settings. This time I just had to confirm something about the Aperature and focus lens, so I didn't bother too much with post-processing.

Anyway, last night was the loose, today is the carded:

The background is a draft version of what I'm working on Illustrator.

Oh, before I forget, I have 6 more of those Lace Vipers available for trade, the Z4 and a light blue Porsche 959, and a red as well as a black Camaro IROC-Z are also up for trade.

@ "This is a short card".

Wasn't lying, was I?

Cool. I've been chasing that one for a while also.

 

[Shinshiki]

I lucked out today, and found four Treasure Hunts at my local supermarket.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Speaking of Teasure Hunt, this is probly a really stupid question, but i got a orange Corvette Stingray Concept with white stripes today and can someone refresh memory but is this one a treasure hunt? Kind of having a bad day right now and can't think clearly.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Pics?

 

[Sonygamer455]

Pics?

Working on it
EDIT: Here it is, sorry for not posting earlier. Guess I need to stop rushing.

Edit: Reuploaded since I no longer need Photobucket.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Negative, sir.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Negative, sir.

Oh okey thanks for the clarification. Again im having a bad day right now and i have no idea were i got the intention it was a Treasure Hunt. I guess got it confused with another vehicle.

 

[OtakuTaikun]

@Medigo, were you the one interested in a McLaren F1 GTR decades? the walmart by my house is ready for the winter hibernation... i swear yesterday there was like 10 of em up there

 

[CodeRedR51]

I saw it posted somewhere with rubber tires and listed as a super TH, which was not correct. The car was fake. (custom)

 

[Cano]

Notice brake booster in the firewall

 

[MedigoFlame]

@Medigo, were you the one interested in a McLaren F1 GTR decades? the walmart by my house is ready for the winter hibernation... i swear yesterday there was like 10 of em up there

Yes I am interested in them. Though I can't pay...I can trade.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Oh yea now i remember!💡 It was that one that i got confused with, i knew i had read about it on here, but since HWC didn't say it was so that is a fake.

Oh okey, nice!👍 If you look on HWC right now under sneek peeks there is a '13 Ford Mustang GT on there under HW Racing, it says it is a Treasure Hunt, not a super though but i just thought i would point that out.

It's too bad the 2013 Mustang looks like this:

New DBS looks alright, no FTE2:

New ZR1...no headlight tampo:
