Two HW Ferrari 156 and one 333SP. The 333 comes from the Speed Machines line, the 156 with WSPs from the mainline, and the dark red 156 the Hall of Fame line. None are being parted with; I've got a sneaking suspicion that someone will be interested in at least one of the cars.

Hall of Fame 156, I've chased on & off over sometime....... Of course, it's hard when your 'want' list keep expanding & you also keep getting sidetracked, which I am really horrible about. As it stands, I think I have at least three cars on the way which off the top of my head, cars I really don't need. :ouch:

@AOS- Which manufacturer is that 1949 Mercury? M2?

@Johnny1996 This pics for you, since you seem to be a Nova fan:



It's not for everybody, but I really like it. :D

That Nova = directly into the paint stripper.

Also, MAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSIVE score today. Like I've not had in years. 25 minty 70s Matchbox-Lesney, two of them absolutely brand-spanking new in their boxes, from a small, middle-of-nowhere flea market, and I'm coming back for more from where these came from next sunday. Amongst other stuff like, oh, mexican Hot Wheels, more Lesneys but less minty, a Playart, and even wheel donors. Pics tomorrow.

Hit a few stores today, one of them (a Target) is closing down. :(

Didn't grab hardly anything, most stores are still empty from Christmas. Not sure if they are waiting to put stuff out, or just not getting anything. Grabbed another EF Civic to make a replica of my old roomates turbo EF. Will be the same color as the other one I am working on, same wheels (except in black instead of red) with black bumpers and an intercooler in the front bumper, then I will put it in a display and send it to him. I should get my decal paper this week so I can finish the one I am working on now.

Oh, and added Ford Focus RS, Ford Fiesta, and Circle Trucker to the website.

Taunting me, are you? :P

I'm not ready to put $10+ on a Hall of Fame just yet.
 
Do guys ever buy something like this, and when the car arrives, you think that either the tires were black, or maybe the mud on them were darker......... you aren't very bright so you go on to open the package and you finally realize what had happened? And as I type this, I just received a message from the seller asking me to please leave positive feedback...... I've been wondering if I should notify him or not. I guess I should. Here's the rest from today:

Maisto Toy Fair "1 of 2010" Edition Porsche 911 GT2



Wasn't planning on opening this one, but blister just about peeled off on its own. No positive feedback for this seller. To the next loser(purchase, not seller). Hakosuka Skyline with a dye job.


I like the color, but it got on the taillights, one of the sexiest taillight job on a mainline casting(IMO). This seller who sold this car to me as a "HTF" jerked me around before. I tried negotiating(politely) on couple of Vintage Racing & he actually raised the price than posted. I'm done with this particular seller.


Last & maybe the coolest:

Johnny Lightning 1967/68 Pontiac Firebird Customizing Kit

@a6m5 correct. It's M2.

I got a scare on a PSN Home once, when it was still new. I invite this Japanese CoD4 "buddy" to my PSN Home apartment, we started communicating & it turned out to be a underage girl. It was in virtual world & it still scared the 🤬 out of me. :lol:

Yeah... Better than kicking them I guess

Thinking about it- no. It really isn'tisn't

You go to jail for either offense!

Like Model A's?

:P

P.S. For the peeps who didn't want to click on the link:

So the dude modified the photos in the listing?

Also lol @ "toy fair". There have been several releases of the same casting in the same colour under different packaging. Maisto did the same thing with their planes and other cars.

Yeah goldfacekandykustoms had a jerk attitude when I communicated with him before. Luckily there was no real issue to escalate. Let's egg his inbox someday. :lol:

Looking at the listing, I think he had bunch of them & was using stock photo. Maybe he wasn't familiar with white lightning, or that he missed it, like I did. Seller just contacted me, asking me to send a pic, so I did, also asking him if I could just keep it.

I did suspicion it. It does have silver side mirrors(:odd:), also has "toy fair" decal on the rear wing, so I'm pretty sure it's worth tons & tons of money. :lol:

@a6m5: If its an old car, I llike it. Anything at all. And about that Firebird kit: AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Somehow you've acquired yet another JL product that I seriously wish I had. There's a local model train and toy sale coming up, so its now a point to outdo you for once. :P
 
My first car of the year?

I see that name from time to time on TTP. Who are they?
 
Saa...? :rolleyes:

To answer an older question though, the Hall of Game 156 is the one I'm seeking now. I have only two mainlines and a dinky 5-pack. That spectraflame red finish is probably the grail of all 156s.
 
I feel sorry for you guys with RLC memberships. The way Mattel is conducting itself with the backordered RLC cars is embarrassing. This is one of two reasons I won't sign up for membership there, the other is the fact that japanese castings make up like less than 1% of the RLC cars released so far. (umm, BRE 510 and.....that's it. :lol:)
 
Pics of the cars acquired so far in january have been shot. Amazingly, it's been around 60 cars in january alone. Yes it's full 7 days. Will be posted today or tomorrow or something.
 
I will be collecting that casting. Mainly because my dad used to have a Cougar (his was a '70 though) but I like the way this one is presented.
 
Ah, cool. I love 70 Darts. A friend has a Mexico-only 70 GTS in orange with Keystones and a bit-warmed-over 318 (only V8 available here from Mopar until 1975) and black stripes, and the thing rules.

We need a 70 Dart from HW.
 
F to L is complete.

A to E should be done in no time if I bunch a lot of the Camaros and Corvette together.
