Got some eBay stuff delivered today:

*IMG'S*

Nice lots, mate. I especially like the second lot with the Sierra and Castrol 4x4 Chevy van. 👍

but it also contained a step-by-step photographic record of the packaging process & the actual label:

How kind of them.

 

[a6m5]

It is kind of cool, but I think they've been burned before.

Dude, how much? I've seen several tomica Limited trucks I'd love to own, but the price is always like a reverse slap in the face.

A lot. I was looking at a Japanese bus awhile back, that thing was like $65 & change(I think the original MSRP ran along $30~$35). What I actually bought was even awesomer, and little Nissan truck was a tag along, it was just impossible for me to resist. I also bought a small Harley Davidson for something like $3. Total with shipping for two trucks & a Harley came to $65.

Does this violate eBay policies?

Why... yes it does! This seller is wasting time taking photos when it could've been out the door 30 minutes ago!

I think he must've been through a scam or ran into an incident where the post office opened and took items if he's going through that much trouble.

If you ship internationally a lot, probably best to cover your ass just in case something happens.

That's what I suspicioned as well.

On a side note, got my F&F Mustang in the mail today.

Holy hell $20? That thing? Wtf

They've been going for Super TH level prices on eBay, but been seeing them for around $16, $17(total) on TTP. Still a lot of money.

If you guys want black GT-500s so badly, just paint one yourself.

 

[a6m5]

It's black? I thought it was dark green. And as you might be able to tell now, I don't understand the level of demand for that car at all. Jason needed it to complete the F&F set, but even he didn't sound too enthusiastic about the car.

 

[CodeRedR51]

It's green, and it's not a GT500.

 

[a6m5]

It's green, and it's not a GT500.

I 🤬 knew it!

 

[AOS-]

The casting's the same as the '67 GT500 (2010) casting, is it not?

 

[McZachenF1138]

Kind of, it is this (and this).

 

[CodeRedR51]

The casting's the same as the '67 GT500 (2010) casting, is it not?

Nope. Just a bone standard '67 Mustang Fastback.

 

[AOS-]

Lame as balls then. The '67 GT-500's casting is pretty swell.


And the '65 Mustang Fastback as well.

Picked up a couple of Bone Shaker I-pad toys.


P6200374 by commodoreben, on Flickr
and this arrived today from ebay. It was only available at the Monster Jam World Finals in Vegas. Now I just have to find the trucks from the other years.

Didn't think someone would buy the iPad thing for the car. I was tempted by the Yur so Fast but I couldn't justify spending $8 on a low-detail casting.

Nah, this one's pretty nice...

Probably.

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Nice cars guys! And got some Vegas smell with that monster Ben.

And speaking of F&F, I FINALLY got the F&F Supra and Charger RT today!!!

But they aren't the Premium F&F cars with the movie poster background though, just the mainline ones. So I still need those ones, hey I'm a F&F fan, so..

I have seen the new NSX NA3, yellow TA Celica and Hyuras everywhere. I'll go back next time to get them, but I gotta slow down now. Birthdays, holidays, savings and many more.

Now I feel like I lived 10 seconds or less now, I'm free. For now.....

I got it to use on my iPad and the game you play with it is allot easier if you just use your fingers and don't worry about the car and with the way my collection is going I had to buy 2 so I could keep one sealed. When I saw that Vegas truck on ebay I had to have it. You ever been to the world finals Vspec? I loved Vegas when I was over there a few years ago. I went to the Gun Store to shoot some machine guns, I even jumped off the Stratosphere Tower and I only lost about $300 in the Casinos which is allot less than some on the tour did.

 

[SVX]

Cool beans, what are you buying me?

The biggest thing I can find so you can have fun paying for the postage to Australia.

Nope, I haven't yet . But I sometimes catch it on Speed whenever they have it on. I mostly see some of the freestyles, man, those trucks are something else I tell ya. 👍

I'm glad that Grave Digger is still out there, that's one badass beast right there. 👍

 

[zakyta_4]

Cool stuff! I've always wanted the Citröen and Sierra but for one reason or another, they keep eluding me.

i love the XR4i

great find

I like zakyta's second lot.

Nice lots, mate. I especially like the second lot with the Sierra and Castrol 4x4 Chevy van. 👍

Thanks guys:tup:
The Sierra, Castrol 4x4 and Bob Jane pick-up drew me to the lot and then the other lot was from the same seller, It had 25mins left after the first auction had finished
The Citröen was a real surprise, mine's made in England and some of the prices people are charging for it

Nice grabs Space & Ben, love all the Monster Jam trucks and the Atari cars are awesome, I've just finished getting my second set of Atari cars to open up and put on the shelf:tup:

Also grabbed an Aldi truck today

Yeah, when I start browsing the TL trucks I stop real soon because I can't afford them and I love them. Lots of pics. And lots of money too

Touche.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Got my 240Z this morning.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Great deal on a red Super Street Skyline

Should anyone need one. Posted in the last 30 minutes on eBay. This will go buy it now so act quick!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Got it.

 

[AOS-]

Nah, this one's pretty nice...

So nice even you'd get it.

Finally got my hands on the 60th anniversary Beetle.

That case with the tow truck and Aston also contains the Routemaster. All my stores had these except the bus.


Also, anyone want any of these before I list it off?

Ended up buying another duplicate recolour of the Cobra (those two were in one lot - already got one loose from another seller).

 

[CodeRedR51]

So nice even you'd get it.

Well it's not bad, but I wanted the whole set so that required getting it. Not sure I see the issue.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Does the hood open up on the Mustang Jason?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Negative.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Boo. 👎
