The top-2, damn straight. That Sweet Rods Skyline, I think they generally go for lot more, I had extra chunk of change, so I just said why not. It was just another addition to the collection, where that Tomica Skyline & Silverado, I had to have them!
It will never happen again. At least for not another couple of days.You just had to post that freakin Silhouette again, didn't you?Gah, curse you.
I wish! I just don't have bad habits. Just this.
My top three most expensive single car purchases:
3) $70, shipped. Hot Wheels 100% R32 Skyline GT-R
2) $73-ish, shipped. Tomica Limited Vintage Neo - Tomica Skyline Super Silhouette(Early '83)
1) $85, shipped. Cano's favorite: Hot Wheels RLC/Real Riders '83 Chevy Silverado
I know, I know. They are not really heavy-hitters, but most of the cars I'm interested in generally tops out before reaching $100(and that's a good thing). There is one car I've been looking at lately that exceeds the $100 barrier, and I believe I also commented looong time ago that I'd never consider buying this particular car. We'll see!
I remember that set. Better pics.
And I would totally agree with that. Like Jason, I don't see how it would be necessary, but I would agree that it would make a nice compromise.
I don't know what you are talking about. I don't spend over five dollars for a toy car! Buwahahahaha!
P.S. These (name)tag things don't work half the time.

Wasn't there one? I don't recall his name, but he was in here briefly(considering) with rare prototypes or something.
Which one!?
Well, I don't know about competing...... Like I said on the last page, I do have an fair idea of where my collection is..... Like Cano calls them, supermarket trash, or something like that.
That's the range of cars I like though, mostly, and off the top of my head, I couldn't tell you one car I want costing in hundreds. That's a good thing(rather invest it in a German handgun). 
Do they have like five total, with possibly a variation of the newer Skyline(probably late '83) making it the sixth?
Early '83 Skyline was the absolutely must-have, and I did order my second favorite, which is the "Coca Cola" Bluebird. I made a mistake of ordering one on Amazon to save a few bucks off the Japan Booster price. While I fully expect it to take no more than maybe around couple of weeks in transit, they have no tracking, and Amazon page tells me to expect it in Mid-August. Lesson learned.I did not realize this.
Makes sense!

As for this variation, I have to know. Buying it high($400) & more than doubling it is intriguing.

I do like all of them, but not enough to come up with the funds.
My last Japan Booster order, I did google the link from Lamley to place the order. 👍

This sounds so weird to me living in the States, but at the same time, I totally understand where you are coming from. Good luck hunting in Spain, and I hope you have lots of fun!I'm flying to Spain tomorrow..
They usually have a nice selection of HW's down there.
I got on there to see, but as expected, they put that one up to auction, so I'll settle being a spectator. Love to have it but not for the price the market dictate!
I like the Coca Cola Light, too. JDM Diet Coke.
Yeah, those are the five that I'm aware of, but I thought I saw a variation of the "late" '83 Skyline before. I'll try to do a search on it today.Sounds good, but no response from Jason or Andy.... That leaves Cano.
No no, I don't know anything about 1/18 casting, but it was really weird fantasy car prototype. Somebody called him out in the Ludicrous Claim thread about the Ferrari his dad owned or something(he wasn't a fraud).Oh now I remember. Flaunted that goofy-yet kinda cool 1:18 Deora II around like it was nobody's business.
If you are referring to the "tailights" models, first is the Datsun Violet, second is Toyota Carina from the 70's. I also ordered their 80's Carinas in yellow & white(to exploit free shipping
At least the Silverado looks good. Vari, damn. That's extremlely rare/exotic redline money, but I know you're not into that kinda stuff, so it beats me. I would have bought me some pink 1970 stuff
I do the same, especially with AmiAmi. They really are true pros, couple that with the lowest prices, I'm more than happy to keep recommending them. 👍
Nice. 👍 I can't wait to check them out!
Get the hell out of here Cano!
It's not my cup of tea either, but I do like it best out of all R32 GT-R by Mattel. Like I said, $70 shipped, it's not a horrible investment by any means. I just have it sit in my collection for now, see where it goes!The Skyline makes me laugh too. It's soooooooooooo ugly. And with Torq-Trusts
Best pic ever.
👍It was just interesting enough, just cool enough, and like I said, I had cash on hand that was begging to be spent.
