Thanks guys. Yeah, the shine & details on the car's unbelievable considering the scale. It's a beautiful piece, and damn shame that they quit on minicars.

Edit: Oh, god, I looked at it again!

And you just made me look at it again. Congrats on the Veyron finally arriving too. 👍

 

[a6m5]

I'm off to Walmart now. I haven't hit them in awhile, but I hope the toy aisle's nice to me.....

Thanks J-Money. 👍 I wish I could have held out for the red one, but if this one's typically being listed for $59+, I don't even want to know how much the red one goes for.

Well, AUTOart rakes in money from the bigger scales, that's why. If only they had the same variety of minicars as Kyosho has, then I could have been an AA minicar follower instead. That sheer paint quality of AA makes Kyosho wet its pants, not only in minicars, but also in 1:18s in general!

Interesting. I have very limited number of 1/18 diecast cars, but two are AutoArt. They do fine work.

Walmart last night, I found the Holiday IROC-Z Camaro, which was surprising & very good. I've been wanting one. I also found other cars I wasn't looking for, which was not that great.

Hot Wheels Christmas/Holiday 1985 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z & Volkswagen Beetle/Herbie


Auto World Vintage Muscle 1967 Ford Mustang GT


M2 Machines 1956 Ford F-100 MoonPie Plant Maintenance


M2 Machines 1956 Ford COE, 1968 1/2 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet 2+2 Fastback & 1970 Ford Mustang BOSS 302 "Mustang 50 Years"


Probably gonna return the MoonPie truck. I thought it might be rare, or chase, so I picked it up, but I really don't like it.

Well, that is well reflected on their price too. Auto Arts are extremely expensive

Finally found the C-case stuff!

 

[AOS-]

Is the Bat-pod in a case earlier than the C-case?

I feel like it may be in the same case. Saw it along with the C-case stuff I found... If I see it again, I'll check the back. Although, I bet someone else here will know.

I like the MoonPie Truck. If you want Ill take it off your hands.

Negative.

If you really want it, I can mail to you, but I don't think it'll be worth it, Ben. It's like $5.88 + international shipping. I think I may just keep it.

 

[juvcho]

here are some photos of those CM's

 

[Spacegoat]

That 037 and Legacy and I don't think I've seen the Red Delta before, nice. 👍

Big thanks for the pictures. 👍

 

[a6m5]

Very cool. CM's does(or at least used to do) some good work.

 

[Cano]

Dem CM's, yes!

 

[a6m5]

That old Impreza rally really hits the spot!

 

[AOS-]

'99 Impreza is dabes though. And shoutouts to that Lancia I know nothing about.

 

[Ramanujan]

The red delta looks to be in ss.5:

Nice cars. 👍

Been listing things on eBay all night. Getting sick of it.

Only thing I dislike the most is dealing with entering the shipping data (i.e. dimensions and weight).

You should link it.

Auto World has a GT40 out right now that is really nice. I would buy it if I had the money bags like you guys to get the expensive cars.

Legacy for me. Been looking at that particular one for a while now, but I can't bring myself to pay the $20 they go for on e-Bay. One day......maybe.

International postage on one car would not be worth it, but next time your thinning out your collection let me know.

 

[SVX]

I can't believe someone posted pictures of Subarus and didn't let me know.

You can't get rid of me that easily.

Yes, it looks like CM's are hitting the spot. I got lucky enough to arrange good deal for those cars the time they weren't so pricy.

 

[Cano]

So yesterday walking around with my wife I stumbled upon a random christmas flea market and of course there were these dudes there selling cars. They priced their cars fair, not cheap but still reasonable, so I grabbed a made in Mexico Hot wheels Crack Up with a crumbled base and a Japan-made Tomica Lancia Stratos Turbo in decent shape, both for around $8.

I also liked some cars they had but I didn't want to pay what they asked for them, so I told them I'd be back today to do some trading. I got a few of my available cars in a case and I'll head there today to try and grab some more stuff.

It does suck and since I don't own a scale I have to guess on weight sometimes which can go either way (which I'm tempted to actually buy one one day for other uses).

International postage on one car would not be worth it, but next time your thinning out your collection let me know.

Atleast it's not as bad coming from the States to you compared to the other way around (I know a few folks who buy stuff here and shipped cheaper than they can buy it there). So far there are a few places I buy things from in Australia that are good about trying to work out the best deal (2 1/43's are about $20 bucks shipped but that transporter was $50). I think it's the motorsports superstore that charges a flat rate of $12 bucks for anything you buy or regardless of how many shipments too (only thing that sucks about them is you can't make payments).

So far the best person I have dealt with outside them is Trevor at T-bar model cars!
