The N case seems to be at a lot of Walmarts. I'm finding a lot of yellow Celicas now.

Just came back from a 22km bike ride and picked up a red NSX Concept and a black 911 GT3 RS along the way.
 
AOS-
Your photos tend to be dark often times. Isn't there a room light?

Crazy thing is the light is on, But the flash is malfunctioning and won't turn off, It always makes my room seem darker, when in reality it's actually very bright.
 
AOS-
Perhaps, you can physically cover up the flash?

No good, if i do that, camera takes very grainy looking photos. I can never come out with a clear outcome, no matter what i do. If it's anything, the camera is a Nikon COOLPIX S210.

Edit: Probably just going to invest in a new camera, when i get paid. As for which one to get, I'm not sure.
 
How grainy? Have you tried that while having a desk lamp or some other light source put near the car being shot? Maybe the grain won't be as noticeable when you flood the subject with light.

So along my long trip, I saw the latest '11 Corvette Grand Sport. I kept confusing it for a $uper at a quick glance thanks to its attractive metalflake turquoise that kept looking like spectraflame. Regardless, I'd buy that.

If it wasn't blacklisted. :P

Anybody looking for RX-7 Secret Treasure Hunt? This just came up on TTP. $7.50 for two of them. *gone

My modest pick up that turned out really nice today.

This was just part of one lot, but I ended up liking this one quite a bit.


Same with this Camaro. I was gonna sell it off, along with the GTO(duplicate), but she's a keeper.



Been wanting this one since Cano posted his ages ago. Took me a while to find the right deal. :D



I just missed out on this few weeks ago, it was the red one. I want to say I paid $10 or $15(probably fifteen$10.81 :eek: ) for this one, which I think is the Jay Leno version.




Nicest Miura I've seen at 64th scale. One of the nicest at this scale, period. 👍

Jason, do you have this one? Probably, I just bring it up. :dopey:

Large letters.....on the card? Looks identical to the one I have, and my 5 spoke vari.

Well, you know that I know nothing about these things. Just randomly came up during my search for god knows what. I've yet to report anything new, but I'll keep up the good work. :lol:
 
What I bought today:


Kyosho 1:64 Subaru BRZ

9726735669_9ba49fdd26_c.jpg


9726735275_9928e482f2_c.jpg





The store decided to break the set, and I had to grab that blue one. :crazy:



And I prefer this over the Toyota. Here in Manila's streets, there are so many 86s that I am fed up seeing them. The BRZs here are quite few; and they look cooler.



Oh, this casting is put together by screws instead of rivets. Hence, it's easier to mod. However, you have to remove the exhaust pipes if you want to access the other screw.
 
BRZ is overall more atractive then the GT86 and FRS, Good looking model, Though the Thick profile tires are way off.

Screw you. I've been wanting that for a while. And I still aint got no money to blow on cars.

Back in 2000, employees were awarded this MEA Hollywood Premiere Dinner & Dance.

It's a '59 Impala and it's a casting I collect. I do not know if I should dive this deep to buy this thing that hasn't even hit the market.
 
Quite like that Kyosho BRZ. Always liked the bumper and headlights of the BRZ more than the 86/FR-S (hate the FR-S's cheaper headlights).

Stopped by Walmart today to get some snacks with my brother and of course, I had to brush by the toy cars aisle. And came across this!


Didn't think I'd ever find one in stores ever since they were hoarded. Although, there was also a large amount of what I'm guessing is returns of HWs on the pegs. A lot of the old school fantasy bus (can't remember the name) and bunch of different custom Ford Bronco's.
 
Good thing that wasn't the R34 :P

R1600Turbo
$20? Sure. $50? Maybe. $100+? Hmmm.
Click to expand...

$100 is asking for a lot, yet knowing that it's not even a retail item makes it so much more special. $80 is still asking for a bit. Here I thought that $47 for that Gold Shelby was paying big money, then this comes along. Good god lol

Or the $uper S2k on eBay right now at $112 with 1.5 hours left. :eek:
 
Quite frankly, people go a little too crazy with $upers, especially when combined with error/variations. I found a seller selling a good number of $upers for like $9 to $18 each. I'm contemplating at the moment.
 
I see employee cars from time to time on TTP, and I don't know........ Personally, zero interest in them, but I haven't really seen one that's under $100 I'd want either. They are either not interesting, or money I'd never spend on one hot wheel car.

I saw this while shopping on the way home today, and I really couldn't pass it up.



Boulevard Twin Mill, I've passed on like couple hundred times before, but it was half off the clearance price($1), stupid van thing was also a dollar(don't know what it is, but wanted the wheels). Vintage Racing Challenger I already have, but I bought it for the rear tires, which was $1.35. Can't beat that!

They don't seemed to be overly popular, so I wouldn't sweat on it. I'm sure you'll find a good deal down the line. 👍
 
Are you actually breaking cars open for their wheels?





edit: Seems like I'm pretty close to getting all the '09 Nissan GT-Rs.

all that's left is the First Editions with regular 10SPs and the Speed Machines, but I may pass on it since it's probably not worth chasing after... unless someone wants to trade. I'll likely have won myself a second silver GT-R so if you got the FE GT-R with chrome 10SPs, let's trade.

Yeah, I already have a few like that. If I like the wheels, and if they are on a crazy sale($1~$2), I buy them, and have popped them open.

Edit: Thanks Magic, and LOVE your Kool Kombi(never have found one myself) & TH Van that I know you actually really love. 👍

I'm missing what you're missing.

Edit: that S2000 sold for $192! :eek::crazy:
 
It has the Ferrari-like star-shaped wheels. A $uper Treasure hunt wheel variation. You bet that statement alone is going to bring in a lot of money.

Also, the Kool Kombi Kraze died off a while ago. I'm seeing white Kool Kombis on pegs now. That has to mean it's no longer valuable.
 
Seems to go: Green>Orange>White. I think I personally like Orange the best.

Thanks for the link J-dawg. 👍

Did the standard Super Treasure Hunt really look that good? Mine has bent-card anyway, I might open mine!
