20130430_164633_zps67412419.jpg

Over a hundred cars to show for this month. Grab your popcorn!
 
Damn you and that silver Goat.
I have a feeling though that will not be the only thing I will be damning you for. :P
 
Screw you DW. That GTO and those Escorts. :grumpy:

Look into it!

Oh, I have been :lol:. There's some real interesting stuff in that Vintage range. Definitely have to get one or two of those in the future. 👍
 
There's a guy in the film named Shinji. Therefore you should watch it.
But I'm not Shinji!

:lol:

I look forward to seeing you posting one or two in the future then! I wish I had enough money to buy them all. They just might be my favorite line of cars, except they are so frigging expensive! :crazy:

Already go to hell. It's been aages since I last saw that Escort. Since mine in fact. Also, I had never seen the Premiere version of the Jag. Cool car 👍

But I'm not Shinji!

You so are.

They just might be my favorite line of cars, except they are so frigging expensive! :crazy:

Absolutely. Some of those are pretty interesting but the priceeeeeeee

For that money I'd rather buy their 1:43 counterpart that'll sometimes hoover around the same prices.
 
Found more cars to take out of my collection. Lookslike the first lot I sold took most of it as I could barely pick apart any further.


Some cars I'm taking out you may have interest in include:

Plymouths, Fiskers, Ferraris, Porsches, Chevys, BMWs, Dodges, Hondas, Studebakers and a few fantasies. If my previous lot can't sell, I'm adding to it.
 
My Gto was bought in a lot 6/$5. :lol:


I'm splitting my April upload into two posts.

Tonight, all the loose cars and tomorrow, all the carded stuff.

Got damn some cool stuff in here. The star of the show for me is the Corgi Benz, I had never seen that car. Awesome.

Also, the Siku 930!!!!!!!! I have that very car but it's rear wing plastic piece is missing. Can you please please took MANY shots of that piece to show me how it really looks? The car is already stripped for paint but the only thing that's missing is that. I want to try to make it out of modeling clay but I need references (:
 
I want some of those. Want to trade anything?

I had 3 of those clear containers full of cars before. In one sitting, I put most about 400 cars in the black tote. That blue tote only holds about 270 cars and it's a bigger tote too! The trick was close-proximity packing. I made small trays and tetris'd the cars in each one as best as I could using foamboard dividers to prevent the cars (which had room to roll) from knocking into each other. My biggest achievement was containing on average 50 cars in a tray (8.5 x 14 x 1.5 inches) by laying them on their side rather than all four wheels. Too bad it was only 3 trays that had 1.5 inch tall walls. The shorter trays' average capacity was 32 cars.

I took out about 20-30 cars to list and surprisingly, that drawer was literally just enough to contain the remaining cars. No room for movement. :D
 
My latest acquisition:

The store now has a 15% discount on all 1:64 Kyoshos. :D


Finally, the sleepy bulls are complete! :lol:

Don't hold your breath. :lol: I'm digging on this. But I'll wait to my other e-Bay stuff arrives in the next week or two. Then I'll see if I'm in mood to spend some money.

Some awesome cars there A6, RC & wyvern:drool:
and nice Ruff-Trek Space, need to get myself one of the variation:tup:

Got an eBay delivery today, this was a 9.99 opening bid win:
First edition Shoe Box & Dairy Delivery, Matchbox & Classic Carlectable Perkins Commodore and a couple of FJ Holdens

Also K-Mart had put some new stuff out:
Bump around, 240Z, Black XB, WRX, MB Chev Bel-air and Sting Rod II TH:)
 
Not sure. I need to save some stuff for the Friday meet on the 11th. Going to be getting my own table that day since I have access to a car for that weekend.
 
This blue car, too. :lol: When it comes to Kyosho Lambo, I'm dead set on the red, but I have soft spot for different blue color like this, Miatas' blue color, or the grabber blue.

I am very happy with the red one, and I might actually give up on getting the one from Tomica Limited because of it (since the TL Countach is like a unicorn).

The Walter Wolf LP500S Countach is my favorite Lamborghini of them all. Those black fenders and skirts make it look serious and epic.
 
I stalked the Tomica Limited one for awhile, but while they have the usual Tomica charm, Kyosho blows them away, especially with the obvious accuracy & details. I finally decided that they just weren't worth the high mark up the sellers were asking for. :crazy:
 
Right now, that store has the Kyosho 1:64 Countach LP500S Walter Wolf (red) at 15% discount. And that's the only one left...

I am thinking of getting the C3 Corvette of the same brand. It looks amazing, one that can blow away Greenlight.
 
Greenlight's awesome, but they have their limitations...... I'm a fan of those Corvettes, too. What's it look like?(link? :D)
 
GFirst edition Shoe Box & Dairy Delivery, Matchbox & Classic Carlectable Perkins Commodore and a couple of FJ Holdens

Dude, that's a great score for $9.99 opening bid. Especially with the Perkins Commodore. :crazy:
I found a green one completely destroyed; it's already stripped and is waiting for my lazy ass to get moving and start work on her.

What the hell are you doing on here Canoe?, get back to work! :P

Nice, I quite like the White versions. 👍
