Thank you Jarrod, and Johnny, we were talking about somewhat obscure brand called "CM's", which is generally available only on eBay if you reside in the States.

BTW Their site's search engine is run by Yahoo Japan. Maybe that's why Google or Bing! can't find anything.
That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard....... and no, nothing on Yahoo search either.

:lol:
 
Their so-called english site has no about page. It's all up to you, Shinji: http://www.cmscorp.jp/link/index.html

I checked their Japanese home page first, nothing. I couldn't find nothing on bing or google, in Japanese or English...... then it hit me, what if "CM" wasn't an acronym? I thought maybe CM were initials of the founder, their roots, etc., but I couldn't find any ties to that on Wikipedia.

CM usually means "commercials", TV advertisements in Japan, which would make no sense. Then the old Japanese brain kicked in, how about "cm", as in centimeters for miniature maker?

I have zero confirmation, but I'm gonna settle for that. :P

lol thanks for the sleuthing guys, I didn't even know they had a website :lol:
 
No way man. If anything, I want to buy fewer, get rid of few I already have.
A box from the Mill came in today. Good thing mom's at work.
What are you trying to tell us Medigo Flame?

Edit:

- I was going thru my next batch of cars to crack open when I saw the Red Line Club IROC-Z Camaro. I saw its serial number was 27/4000, so I chickened out of opening that one. Damn it.

- While one RLC forum, I read more about the RLC Texas Drive 'Em, and how the price has been on the rise. One of the staff there commented that had they known how much the casting would've ended up costing, it would have been more (I think he said)like the Classic line casting, also that he doubted that we'll see that level of detail for such feature again.

Is that good or bad? I realize it's good.

Mo loosened stuff:























My favorite Mustang....

Also, I've been utilizing some of the blister inserts to secure cars inside hot wheel case compartments:



Those muscle machines have tall 🤬 antennas I have to protect, also side mirrors. :crazy:

Uno mas:

Ha, I just read that thread. But yeah, it should have cost a lot more. And on seeing another RLC Texas Drive Em:

"Not out of the question, but it won't look much like this one. Even if we were still in China with HP Chrome and all, not again at this level."
 
Now, the day I pop that baby out of the case(I REALLY want to), you can finally say I've joined Cano on the daaaaark siiiiiide. :D

Also, somebody stole my pic to sell Wolf Man van on eBay! I used to routinely post the worst quality photos on the net in the past, but it seems that I've come a long way. This seller even has his/her own pics, but fronted mine(maybe rest are stolen too lol).
 
The nose of the FD is a tad bulky, like we took the original shape and compressed it like playdoh. :lol:

I'll tell you when mom's asleep. ;)

Will have to defer that for tomorrow night. I just finished a large pastel drawing that's to be handed in tomorrow morning's class... (or today's class technically).
 
Either the regular retail stores just aren't getting new cases and I'm being impatient or is the Corvette C7 just being the Bentley Continental SS again... :grumpy: Been looking for oh so long and still nothing. Target updated with the 2014 A-case stuff, but never saw the Vette.
 
On that note of Muscle Machine JGTC cars, they need to to do what Autoart is doing with they're old japanese models...and re release them all. i remember back when Wal-mart was packed FULL of jdm..
And in other news, i finally cleaner and added another table, god knows how many cars i found packaged in my closets from the move..

Those look.....really dusty. :P

Also, everyone should check your local Walgreens for new shippers, and your local Tuesday Morning stores for Boulevards (510 Wagon and Skyline included). I stalked my local Walgreens for the last week and it figures the morning they put it out I was beaten to it. :grumpy:
 
Cool, I think I'll try out my local Walgreens as my parents probably will have some kind of errand for me to run. :D

Unfortunately my only Tuesday Morning store closed... :( TJ Maxx and Marshall's only had the Bronco, Wagoneer, and C6.R last time I looked at those stores.
 
Wow I didn't even know they sold Boulevards at Wal Greens. I very rarely get to go there at all. To think I could have been looking there for that Rigor Motor the whole time. :ouch:

That's not what I said. :lol:

Tuesday Morning = Boulevards

:P

Su...Sugoi! :D

Thanks guys! 👍

It's way bloated, but it's muscle machines..... they are supposed to have that cartoony look to them. If anything, they held that back a bit for these JGTC cars.

Will have to defer that for tomorrow night. I just finished a large pastel drawing that's to be handed in tomorrow morning's class... (or today's class technically).

Priorities, priorities.....

That was a lot of cars!

I found one of each at Ross, but their value has gone down by quite a bit. I already have two of each, but got the Ross ones anyway, hoping to make a few buck on eBay. I was lucky somebody used buy it now for $25(for both cars). Even with both cars together, it'd take some luck to get that much money out of them these days.

Actually, I cleaned them before that shot,( most of them ), I don't why they are showing up extremely dusty like that :crazy:

Probably my aging camera.
