Dat DBS... much want. :drool:
It has to be the single blue-est thing I've ever seen. Blue-est, as in, changes-paper's-whiteness-on-pictures blue-est.

The scar on the windshield is just a stray little hair.

And here is how it looks in natural light.

...So I saw this baby just waiting for me on the shelf to get bought. It was almost $10.

"Man, this is gorgeous! I'll allow myself to spend so much on one car just this single time. Also, I'm wondering what's inside that box..."

Yyyyup. It was empty:lol:

I like that Brumos-style Porsche đź‘Ť
It's surprisingly well-made, too. Never heard of the brand that made it either; from what I've seen on their page they make models of cars, planes, buses and moar.
 
Oh crap :crazy: you're aaaalmost as screwed as we are over here... with the difference that you actually find those in the stores over there. Here those don't even exist.

Thanks to the government import taxes or a fixed price by hotwheels for other nations. A tomica mainline in Singapore is $4.72 usd.
 
Hotwheels will slowly surface because the sale of hotwheels is slow in Singapore but as usual hoarders are everywhere. Till date I have yet to see a red honda civic in SG.

Yea, some 2012 cars and last year cars have been re-surfacing at several places. I've seen quite a few of the blue Civics as well but not the red ones.
 
Okay, so I went to Fred's today (www.fredsinc.com/), and while my 8 year old brother was deciding between Nerf gun and play-doh, I happened to glance over and see the Hot wheels section. I absent-mindedly looked through them, and fell in love. Scooped up all the classic muscle (except an 81 Monte Carlo, cause I got the 1970 one)

Now, should I open them....? :D

Nice cars, @Dagger311. Here's what I just found: a Matchbox Caterham, a HW T-Bird, and a HW Ford thingy, in reverse order.

Dude! If you insist on sharing LARGE images, please attach them as thumbnails like my good pal Johnny above me.

I do have a new phone. It can play live streaming video with no hiccups. But it nearly has a heart attack loading large images from this thread. That says something. ;)

Oh, my bad. Didn't think of that. I also am a car spotter, and never have to do that in that thread, so I never think of it :P. I'll edit it, see if I can change it.
