Uh huh, hence why I said:

Not exactly the same, but there's this...

Chevrolet just put this out.

Which I already have. I want MOAR

Just awesome 👍

If you wanted more, we could have looked for you. I would, I don't know about the other guys here.

Maybe true. But us import lovers have Jun Imai to thank for the latest and greatest classic JDM releases. All hints from him and other designers is that they are taking the love of the JDM cars seriously and will be releasing quite a bit more. I know for sure we're getting the CRX in the Boulevard line this year, and possibly the RX-7. Wouldn't be surprised to see a few others pop up as new models. Can't wait for Jun's 510 wagon. 👍

I've gotten on his case before, I think in regards to the Hakosuka casting, but yeah, Jun Imai's cars generally rocks. Did he do 510? Because that's like one of the two cars that really drew me in. One of the all-time best casting, I think.

I will say the multiple versions of cars like the Challenger and Cuda are getting a bit out of hand.

You shut your mouth.

can't understand why UK are so far behind, it must be like 2 months latter then every thing in states

To be honest, I expected to see like couple of Super Treasure Hunts, since it was your pic. I don't have to send you a letter-bomb now, I'm glad.

Dude, all of the pics of the Delivery cars had the mountain of trash behind them.

And I've been loving those pics. Of the Delivery stuff, never noticed the trash. lol

Please go away.

Yes, that is a big point lately. Hot Wheels is starting to eat the obvious brand -Tomica- in sheer awesomeness. Tomica has released japanese race cars and some euro stuff too, but lately Hot Wheels has gotten it's act together and is releasing a lot of tuned cars that the other brands wouldn't do if they were dead, and with better quality. Have you seen the Hakosuka casting from Tomica? It sucks. and as japanese as they might be, I can't see the releasing a bosozoku car like the Manga.

My argument still stands, though: you can't expect a lot of those in the HW lineup, and they will always be outnumbered by muscle cars, new or old. As I said posts above, don't get me wrong, I love what they are doing with these things, but I do hope the muscle cars will still outnumber the import releases.

Not joining the debate, since I don't really have a opinion, but after reading your comment on Tomica's Hakosuka casting, I had to look it up. I don't know if these are it, but they look pretty nice to me, bro.

P.S. Some random pic I found of a more obscure Skyline.

And more random Tomica goodness.

Also, compaared to the Hot Wheels version, Tomica's Hakosuka looks like a freaking egg. It's rounded where it shouyld not be rounded, sits like a 4x4 and it's top height is enormous.

The reason I stop posting to be honest is it was stressing me out XD

Hell no.

@Goat and Ben: Got anymore Aussie cars in mind get a nice big list of cars so we can add to the list.

Your list is pretty good, but it needs more old Holden muscle. Here's a few, I'd love to see.

1968 HK Monaro GTS.
1972 LJ Torana GTR-XU1.
1974 LH Torana L34.
1978 LX Torana A9X.
1980 VC HDT (Brock) Commodore.
1981 VC SL/E Commodore*.

*I had to put my own car in there somewhere.

And just on the walkinshaw, for some unkown reason, I used a lower case "L" in my previous post about it. So to set the record straight it's VL Walkinshaw. Apologies, totally my fault.

 

[Cano]

Hell no.

But you wanted japanese cars! That's a japaanese HW of a japanese car! I'm even getting a headache from saying japanese. It's perfect.

yeah, except for the price, but still...

So I want to add a Cobra Daytona to my White Series, but I'm unsure which one I should sacrifice. The 100%, or the First Edition? Excluding collectable value, they're both special to me; one's not a basic, and the other is a first edition. I have an HW Garage and a TH, but I'm definitely not messing those up to paint. Right now, I'm leaning on the 100% because the wheels are hideous and the front honestly looks like it needs more detail. Is there anything I should know before I go forward?

 

[a6m5]

AOS, you need this & this. First one, I own & shown it to you before. Second one is Johnny Lightning, and it looks nice! This is the store, or you could probably just find one on eBay.

P.S. Hey guys, I dunno if you all heard, but there is a new Mad Manga coming out from Hot Wheelz. They say it's the bestest one ever: Spy shot.

I checked it out, and I just had to laugh. Harhar.......

Aww... gimme a break, you've never even been inside one.

Yeah, I do see what you are saying, but Hot Wheels also looked awkward to me. I can't remember if it was the stance(involving wheels), or the actual casting:

After putting this together, maybe it just looked too long to me? Anyway, my take on these two Hakosaku's are that they both fall short. *shrug* -edit probably the ginormous rims, too.

Aww, man. I can't wait to share my latest purchase with you, Magic Johnson. It's not any of those cars, but it's from your home village.

 

[AOS-]

Those Daytonas are so cheap, but $18 to ship 9 cars? Going to have to pass on that.

Yeah, prices are decent for the cars themselves, but shipping is high-ish from that store. Try eBay!

 

[AOS-]

Yeah thanks to you, I broke mynpromise and bought more cars again... shipping wasn't cheap either.

 

[photonrider]

Yesh, yesh, yesh . . .

Got my mini diecast race cars, finally.

Green, green, green! Boogity boogity!

But for the moment . . . back to work.

 

[OtakuTaikun]

Set up a paypal, gonna do some research into overseas shipping, but hopefully by the end of the week i'll have all the F1s shipped 👍 i'll post a pic of em too...

 

[Spacegoat]

Aww, man. I can't wait to share my latest purchase with you, Magic Johnson. It's not any of those cars, but it's from your home village.

Oh really? You have my attention now, looking forward to seeing what exactly it is.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Boss 302 error w/Mustang GT body anyone?

 

[McZachenF1138]

I stopped by K-Mart today and much to my surprise, they updated their Boulevards with these.
I bought one of each and another Olds Aurora for its wheels.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Holy $60 batman.

Wish I could spend that kind of coin on cars...

 

[$miglo]

not sure if you remember but last time I found a lot of TH and $TH in short period of time was when I was visited my family back in Poland during the Christmas time - so be ready!! (hopefully )

Oh no, only $34.68.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Still a lot.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Not for Boulevards that I've never seen for purchase before though.

 

[a6m5]

Yeah thanks to you, I broke mynpromise and bought more cars again... shipping wasn't cheap either.

Every time Canadian & Mexican members send the funds to the States, I go "cha-ching" in honor of the U.S. economy.

Yesh, yesh, yesh . . .

Wrong thread, noob!

Harry, that Firebird isn't the Boulevard, is it? I have one, but yours look cooler, somehow.

Oh really? You have my attention now, looking forward to seeing what exactly it is.

IT'S THE SUPER TREASURE HUNT FALCON!!!!!!!!!

I can't remember if you already have one, but it's certainly more fun if you didn't.

Boss 302 error w/Mustang GT body anyone?

Did you save your receipt? Because they can give you a full refund for that.

I stopped by K-Mart today and much to my surprise, they updated their Boulevards with these.
I bought one of each and another Olds Aurora for its wheels.

I saw the pic, I thought you bought two of each.

not sure if you remember but last time I found a lot of TH and $TH in short period of time was when I was visited my family back in Poland during the Christmas time - so be ready!! (hopefully )

You are lucky we can't drive to Poland. Because I can totally see some of us West Coast boys chipping in on gas to raid the pegs there.

And once we are there, we'd probably have to fight to death. I'd win though, I'm a black belt(Levis).

Not for Boulevards that I've never seen for purchase before though.

We've passed on those Boulevards I don't know how many times! Only one I had helluva time finding in that pic is the Vector, which I finally found at Walmart WAY out of town. Do you not have Walmart in your area?

 

[Spacegoat]

IT'S THE SUPER TREASURE HUNT FALCON!!!!!!!!!

Bah, a $uper Falcon. To steal a phase from Cano, "Screw you".

I can't remember if you already have one, but it's certainly more fun if you didn't.

Seriously though, congrats. 👍

Thanks man...... it's really your fault though, even if you don't realize it. I wasn't paying any attention to Falcon before you guys started making big deal about it. Lately, I've been just drooling over those S-TH Falcons, and I finally started shopping around for it. It rubbed off on me!
