Finally...!!!
 
Just got the email notification for AmiAmi for the Bellet. All done and paid for, happy days. Little bit more expensive all up than I thought it would be but then again I did opt for the EMS shipping option so that explains that. Now the real waiting game begins.

EMS on one car? Dang. I normally opt for SAL unless I've got a big order. How much is EMS on it though?

Got my email for the NISMO IDx. Unfortunately I cannot pay for it at the moment, but I have until the 4th to do so. I just hope I can find the money before then. :nervous:

$11-$12. :lol: Originally Wanted to go with SAL registered on the Z last month but for some reason that option is "unavailable in my county" :crazy: So that's why I've been opted for EMS, well that and you obviously get the item quicker. But yeah, think I'll be going with regular SAL shipping for single car purchases in the future though.

Hope you can too. We need pictures! Best of luck mate. 👍

I might just end up selling my TV to make my bills this month. :lol:

No worries, My parents have one I can borrow until I get a new one. :P

(this is only if I can't sell my other car this weekend)
 
That. Is a cool car. :drool:

I have paid for one, but it hasn't shipped yet. I passed on the IDx from the last month(don't know the name, beige one). Even with this NISMO one, I was on the fence, but I am glad I decided to order one now. 👍

I can't wait to receive my monthly order from AmiAmi. :embarrassed:

Originally, I was going to go with the SAL(registered)? It was like $14 I wanna say...... Just for over $17, there was something called 'air small packet', supposedly few days to one week faster than the SAL, so I went with that. Real waiting starts now, I totally agree. :lol:👍

That makes no sense. Shucks!

I told everybody how this hobby is a "habit"! They all laughed & I was being ridiculous, they said! j/k

If you need to push back the payment for the Greenlight Mustangs, I don't mind pushing it to next month.
Remove the b-pillar tampo and redo it then.
Or Mattel can hire toddlers with two good eyes![/sweatshopjoke]
I'm always scared of how the left side tampos might be when I open the package.
That has crossed my mind, too. :lol:
No @a6m5 there's nothing like TLV (:P)
I am so disappointed.

:P

Love the M2 Mustang & the Bond Mustang. Sweet haul bro. 👍 Will add that Fiesta TH to my collection eventually!

P.S. Whatever that ambulance next to the Caprice Taxi is in the Maisto lot's cool, too. Both of them!

I'll let you know. Without selling anything, I can make the two most important bills if I don't drive anywhere or eat anything for the next 2 weeks. :P
 
I went to a Best Buy to get a router, then went to Toys R Us. With nothing at TRU, I went out and got a new '68 Hemi Dart plastic model kit. Now home with not one 1:64 scale car, which is a rarity, I can finally post something that I've been meaning to post: A couple of cheap WRC cars:

TLV IDx Nismo
I love that car. :D
 
So I have some gripes about eBay bidders. I put up a "mystery box" of carded Hot Wheels (70 total) for $30 and someone bid on it. He messages me this morning after sending him the invoice that he "meant to message me days ago asking to cancel the bid, I don't want it". :rolleyes: Needless to say he didn't get a nice message from me.

Second, another auction ended on the 19th and I still don't have payment. Invoice sent, message sent, no answer. Tomorrow morning I am filing for non-payment.

There went $35. :grumpy:
 
I just shopped for bit, found one Mini(hot wheels). Whatever..... Got bunch of delicious Japanese snacks though. lol
A couple of cheap WRC cars:
Looks real official though. Nice. 👍
And after that I've got the long wait till late August for the Bluebird. It never stops. :lol:
I have just one for July(Daihatsu Midget 3-wheel truck), but am adding more cars. August, I have that other Bluebird + Tomica(non-premium) Initial-D Trueno, which they still haven't even released a picture of. :crazy:

First guy, depending on the mood, and if I was in your situation, I'd have turned him in for non-paying. If you have "one" feedback, you should know that you are on the hook once you place your bid.

Really annoying when people try to get out of it. Sure, I've changed my mind on my bids/orders/purchases. Unless the policy allows to do so, I never even ask to be let out of it. If I don't like it, I try to resell it on my own, get part of the money back that way. :rolleyes:
 
His feedback was "4" so I could have done that but it's already been canceled.

I have an itch to do a wheel swap but it's 9pm here and I don't think my downstairs neighbor wants to listen to a drill right now. :P

I'm disappointed.

Tell them I said OK. 👍 I don't know why, but it just reminded me of the purple flame Silverado I left behind this evening. My mainline-phobia kicked in, but I should have gotten that one. :ouch:
 
Nice. You got cool Tomicas that nobody here has. :D:tup:

You better find that money. Amiami website is already sold out of that car, so this could be another car that's gonna skyrocket in value. Isuzu @Spacegoat has coming is already on backorder, also.

Guess who has both. :P Now watch them get lost in Hawaii.

Car I have coming from Amazon, it hasn't even shipped yet....... Expected arrival on their site says month to a month and a half. I hope they are joking.
 
August, I have that other Bluebird...

Actually, I've been considering ordering that one as well lately. It's cheap enough at like $12. Don't know, maybe.

Edit:
Guess who has both. :P
Yeah well, guess who has both Bluebirds on order now. :P Couldn't help myself, it's so cheap. :crazy: And I guess I can combine the orders and save a bit on shipping, right? After the Isuzu comes in September that may be my last from AmiAmi for a little while. Not too much there that peaks my interest at the moment, until those damn Toyota Townace's become available that is.

Well seeing as it was sold out before it was even released, I'm not surprised at all. :D
