Whoa! Is that an ex corgi Porsche 935 from the FAO Schwartz set?

 

[Cano]

It is. Freaking Wyvern. I'll have to counter-attack that.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Awesome vehicle! Now get the Ford Sierra!

Buys a Thunderbolt with Y5 wheels, received this:

What the hell man? How can you miss this and STILL decide to send it?

I buy from this seller all the time and never had a problem. This time for some dumb reason, he didn't wrap any of the cars and I get a Chevy Nova with a broken pillar, and numerous cars with paint chips... This isn't not the issue of receiving cars loose. He literally put down one layer of cars in the box, a sheet of bubble wrap on top and then another layer of cars. They could freely move inside so obvious 🤬's going to go down like that.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Now that just makes me sick.

 

[Cano]

That happened to me once, but with a lot of blackwalls, some of them pretty minty. Negative feedback was liberaly left.

Still haven't received a reply yet, but I fixed the axle. Turns out the axle was fastened down to the slot. The prong was closed up before it made it in. Luckily the axle was not bent so no extra work had to be done.

As for the Panoz LMP1 TH, the front wheels were size-2 so the tires were jammed. Legit TH error. Ended up having to remove them for a wheelswap. Still a waste of a $5 purchase and should definitely ask for another one or something to make up for this.

 

[R5]

I'm sorry, AOS- but I can't stop laughing! You should send it back to them and demand the right wheels. And print off a sheet with all the wheel variations. And highlight it.

 

[AOS-]

You can't be sorry if you ended up typing out what you physically did. If you really didn't want to be rude, you could've easily left that part out.




Anyway, I put in new wheels on the Panoz now it looks just fine. It's kind of similar to the Hall of Fame LMP EVO.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Needs more offset.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Something else for Cano to counter.

Scored at Goodwill on way home from work. Its minty with original box

 

[AOS-]

^I'm going to stop by Goodwill tomorrow after I grab more white and clear paint now.

Needs more offset.

You've seen the '70 and '71 Challengers? I've been so blinded by the side view. If you turn it to the side... if you just did.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just needs a more aggressive stance.

 

[Spacegoat]

WHAT THE FRENCH, TOAST!?

Never heard that before. What Lancia Delta did you get, btw?

and lastly an eBay delivery today, the 2 Commodore Race Team cars, thanks again Space for the link

That was quick. And nice flying customs, too. 👍

UCC's promo:

I... WANT... THEM... ALL! Mooooooooooooo!!!!

👍

 

[a6m5]

They often have these cool promos, not to mention I love their "ice coffee" anyway. God, that Countach...... If they allow guns, and ban earthquakes, I'd move back there!

Never heard that before.

Which one, the eBay search glitch, or the french toast?

What Lancia Delta did you get, btw?

Gis one.

I'm sorry, AOS- but I can't stop laughing!

Sorry Andy, but it made me chuckle a bit, too.

 

[CodeRedR51]

YES. YES. YES. Give me now.

 

[a6m5]

They don't do nothing for me, but the Ferrari's kind of cool. New Boulevards or something?

Kuyashii ne? Japan-only? Anyways, that Walter Wolf Countach is my favorite among all the Lamborghinis! That QV Countach and that Jota SVR make me drool too.

Hontouni kuyashii!

 

[a6m5]

Japan-only?

I see UCC "omake" toys from time to time on eBay. Oh, god, look what you did to me. I have to have one of those Honda bikes.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Retro cars. Ferrari is from Ferris Bueller's day off, other two from Grease.

 

[a6m5]

I want this UCC toy, but I'll pass for potentially as low as $11. Some of you may remember what this & this is based on. God, those were the days.

Retro cars. Ferrari is from Ferris Bueller's day off, other two from Grease.

I certainly did not see that coming! Then again, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, I think I may have seen it once, years ago & Grease, I've never seen it, so I guess it's to be expected!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Blasphemy.

 

[a6m5]

Here's a UCC toy for Medigo. This seller is evil. He has so many different types of UCC toys to steal away moneys!

Blasphemy.

Which one? Both? Bah!

 

[Spacegoat]

Which one, the eBay search glitch, or the french toast?

French toast, think we all have had similar issues with ebay's search engine from time to time.

Gis one.

👍

 

[a6m5]

Awesome car, except I had this one on my eBay watch list for sometime. $3 cheaper.

 

[Cano]

Blasphemy.

Indeed. At least Grease got dammit. It's like general culture.

As for me, I never liked the cars in Grease. I'd tap that Ferrari, though. Jason, if you ever find an extra Ferrari for a good price, could you? (:

 

[AOS-]

Gggggottt DAMN.


I want all those CMS models so badly now. That's definitely going to put me into a financial crisis.

 

[a6m5]

You guys actually convinced me to add Grease to my Netflix queue, right to the top. Then I started to read description.

John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John star in this hit musical comedy that chronicles the romantic entanglements of a group of high school seniors, starting with a summer fling between greaser Danny and good girl Sandy.

Travolta. Musical.

I took it off the queue promptly.

P.S. Andy - Sell the extra cars. Sell, sell, sell!

 

[CodeRedR51]

I was mainly talking about Ferris Bueller. Classic 80's movie. Must own movie along with The Breakfast Club and several others...
