I need this Mustang. :drool::drool::drool:
 
I think I will sometime soon whenever I get the chance, granted that my email actually .

Drat! Just looked at that picture you posted earlier. I saw that Falcon last time I went in Wal Mart and I knew there was something unusual about it since I faintly remembered you mentioning one recently. I didn't get I guess because I had so much in my hands, but I will make sure I do when I see it again. ;)
 
No need. Dude coulda just posted the image himself:

In case you can't see it, yes it's chrome 10SPs.
I am definitely going to get that one next time I see it, as well as any other unusual variants I find. That is when I get more cash. :ouch:
 
Drove a Dodge Charger today...and now I kind of want a decent model of one. But...

Not sure I want to pay the slight extra with the CSI packaging... :grumpy:
 
I more interested in that Quarter. I collect coins too. I'm namely targeting America's National Parks.
That's 🤬 up, Andy.

I'm kidding of course. Hot Wheel collecting has nothing on currencies, stamps, etc.
Keep this link . It might come in handy next time you're going to the post office. :dopey:
:lol: No, man...... I'm really gonna slow down my collecting now. For real this time.
Ah, Golf! Of course it is. Also that little Honda truck is freakin adorable, it's so tiny. :embarrassed:
Golf is super cool, but that Honda truck, it's neat now, but first time I laid my eyes on it, it was similar to this moment.
Mother of god. That is one detailed TLV, just remarkable. :drool: Curse you Shinji. Where's Harry's crying baby pic when you need it?:lol:
I know exactly which one you refer to & your take is absolutely correct. :lol:
Woah


Woooaah! Didn't need to see that. That's awesome. I've got an autoart 1/18 hakosuka that I love but my 1 year old nephew decided it looked better without the fender mirrors still attached over the weekend.

Your thing is seriously amazing, definitely on my list of things to buy when I'm not an apprentice.
You should see the 1/24 F50 I bought my nephew when he was two. I think it may have two wheels left on it(no tires). :lol: These "Super Silhouette" cars by Tomica Limited Vintage-Neo(whew!) are few years old already, so don't wait too long!
Id like it. Please send it to A6 so he can add it to my box
Sorry Ben, I don't think Jason saw that. The car seemed to be going to Cano. :crazy:
Splooge. I have seen pics of that thing several times online yet it still amazes me every time I see it again. Then comes the prize which amazes me more than the pics :lol: but if there is one car that is worth every single penny it's that thing got dammit. Compare it to a Hot Wheels car to see the size :lol:

the other TLVs are awesome too. Got dammit I need to get into those, but I keep on buying Kyoshos, freaking Ahmed. Of course I won't be complaining when I get my hands on those Tyrrels.

But yeah, TLVs. I love me some old japanese thingies like that truck. I don't know what it is, but old oddball japanese things always get me.
I definitely agree that TLVs are unique. They are not Hot Wheels & they are not Kyoshos. They are sort of in-between. I'll try to take a shot of it with another line of cars, but its size was pretty much what I expected, unlike that microscopic Honda T360 truck.
love it, i drive a mk2 Golf GTI :)
I love VW's, even set up a club www.newportedition.com when i used to live in the uk.
Miss the older VWs. They had so much style. Newer VWs don't really do it for me.
Dad found this from his childhood:
Those finds make the best kind of cars, don't they? Just handful of beat up Tomicas, etc. I have from my childhood, they are as valuable to me as cars that are worth $100 on the market. :)
I hope Lady Luck is at my side again, so that I can pick that one from one of the blind boxes...
One nice thing about paying premuim on eBay + international shipping: No surprises.

I wish you luck on the next one!


Only one there that I wish I could get is the Ford woodie..

Edit: if anyone found 2 and would be able to send them to aus I'd pay for them and shipping and effort haha serious
PM me.
Matchbox k1500, and cayenne. Then went to a hobby store And finally found the damn 500.
Amazing how availability can change depending on region. :crazy:
@a6m5 that blue Camaro top left will be different from the one you are getting from me. Want it too?
If you are looking to buy the set, yes. If not, not on my account. Thanks!
Whoa, you and Ahmed are getting a full set of P34's? Forget little old Shinji, curse both of you.
Do not say little Shinji.

Ever.

:lol:
Nice, but how much? :lol:

Hey, that's the one I just picked up for Ben! I'd be on the fence with this one, but if you like the car, Greenlight did a decent job with this one(I have a pic, probably couple pages back).
Yeah, should be here in two or three days (: and then the battle will begin!
I don't know about a battle, but I can't wait to see some pics. We don't get enough Kyoshos in this thread!
 
Cant be as bad as the Matchbox Dinner Prize Models. I've got two I know exist, but ain't willing to put out $80 for them yet.

But logic states I shouldn't care anymore. I already dropped $47 and $70 on a single Shelby Cobra.
 
@a6m5, you got any America the Beautifuls National Park quarters?
I saw one the other day, I was going WTF at it, my coworkers thought I was crazy, they looked at it, they also started going WTF. We actually ended up googling it. :lol: I gave the quarter to the vending machine at work.
Like 40-50 bucks. :grumpy:
Daaaamn. I was thinking $30-ish. :crazy::lol:
 
@a6m5 the model looks alright, the taillights I love on the real car, but the model doesn't look that great. Being a 1/64 scale model, I shouldn't expect too much. As I said before, I have a weird thing of wanting to have a model of a vehicle that I can relate to in some way... Drove one somewhat like that, but in a darker grey color. Almost got me in trouble though. :lol:

Onry the other day? They've made their way into our circulation back in 2012!

Nothing wrong with that. Keeps it interesting....

Just blame it on that (imaginary)cat that crossed the street in front of you. :P
Me too. Until I checked eBay.
I checked TTP, don't even see that one on there. :crazy:

You don't have to tell me twice. It was just last week, I think. I don't now what to tell you, I don't usually look at quarters.

Edit: That's weird. Your post appeared back-to-back, but now it's gone to just one. :lol:
 
@a6m5, keeps it interesting, but I suppose it could get expensive. :eek: Considering that I probably will never or not...ever want to own any of the vehicles I work with. :P

Also, almost got in trouble for driving a customer's just purchased car off the lot (luckily I had a dealer plate). As the tire pressure monitor light came on and I had to get it filled up with air and drive it until the light turned off.

I know why, but I'm just going to say you trippin'.

Anyway, I listed a bunch of trash on eBay after seeing that gray multi-pack Shelby GT500 (as well as the Mastretta) sold for over $5. I seized this opportunity to sell the other trash I had sitting in my cardboard box. Hopefully one of my recent trading individuals will bite into some of the other things I'm letting go of.
