My NISMO IDx is in the country as of Saturday. Should get it in a few days. Woot.

 

[mustang fanatic]

They do. Not Black Bandit, but in that "World" series, I passed it up a million times at TRU. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the older F-Series, but Greenlight version just didn't do it for me.

This one I'm assuming?

I'm not the biggest fan of it either. I'd rather see something like these

 

[NT_03]

Whats with the "Tringapore"?

Typing error on one of my former displays.. It somehow was a funny error..

 

[a6m5]

You guys got some nice cars!

Missed one though. VWDan on TTP kept on posting them, I kept cherrypicking ones I wanted. I'm finally like, I've spent enough, I'm good....... As soon as I quit, he posted Black Bandit C6R I used to be after like crazy & it was already sold. Can't win 'em all.

I haven't even opened the box yet. I also have that sweeeet Isuzu Beret.

That'd be her. M2 was working on one from late 60's/early 70's one that looked really, really, really, really nice. I'll try to find a pic of it.......

Well, I couldn't find it. Check out this page though. M2 do make nice old F-Series trucks. 👍

 

[Johnny1996]

Tough luck on the C6.R.

 

[mustang fanatic]

I should really look for more M2s. I have some, but most have been abused form before I really cared. I have a few good ones though. And most the stores I'd usually find them at don't sell them anymore.

Vintage Racing. I miss those.

Tough luck on the C6.R.

I'm not gonna lie, when I saw it on the "sold" page, I swore more than once.

I only see them at Walmart & Toys R Us.

Here's somewhat affordable Ford Truck:



This isn't the chase version found in 2013 or whatever Hot Wheels, but old Black box release. I think they called it Sam Walton truck. I like it!

 

[Johnny1996]

I have to shell out $6 for 'em at Walmart.

I have only about ten, compared to hundreds of HWs. The price difference is the main reason why.

It actually has story to that word.

 

[a6m5]

I let this one get away at TRU. I kick myself.....

$11 for the two, w/lift.

Sounds about right. At least for their premium line. Cheapies I wanna say are around $3? Doors don't open & stuff, but they are still pretty nice!

I've paid that for a few. It was well worth it. 👍

Thing is, the Wal Mart I found them at had like 5 left. Target used to have them, but they're toys suck now. Also, Menard's in my area has some good ones around Christmas time.

I found one of those with 68 Mustangs with detailed 5.0 Coyote engines. But I had already chosen a bunch of Autoworlds, and I couldn't believe the price of it.

 

[Johnny1996]

I need more M2s and AWs. I'm jealous.

 

[a6m5]

@mustang fanatic I found a teaser thing on that 60's/70's truck I was telling you about.

I'm sure the final version will look better. They may even come with a paint job.

You got that SVO. That was a nice find!

 

[mustang fanatic]

I'm kicking myself for not buying these 68 67 Mustangs.

@mustang fanatic I found a teaser thing on that 60's/70's truck I was telling you about.

I'm probably gonna need to do a huge eBay haul now.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Speaking of Auto World, they sure are taking their sweet time getting some new cars out.

 

[Johnny1996]

Hell yeah it was, but I still can't decide on freeing it from its cardboard and plastic prison.

Have they planned to make a 69-70 Mustang yet? No car brand is complete without it.

 

[a6m5]

I wasn't going to open any Japanese stuff, but as I was taking a teaser pic for Jason & Cano(), I saw this, and I couldn't wait until tomorrow to...... take a closer look.

Kyosho Beads Collection - Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC10 Racing(1/64)




Kyosho.

I'm probably gonna need to do a huge eBay haul now.

I have no idea when those trucks will be out though. I wish they'd hurry up!

Speaking of Auto World, they sure are taking their sweet time getting some new cars out.

Well, considering that they weren't a major player just year ago, they've pumped out a lot of cars. Those Chevy Kingswood wagons are TKOs.

We already decided that you would, so.......

 

[Cano]

Go to hell @a6m5. I've wanted that Hakosuka since I saw Ahmed's... but damn, dat money.

Altough, of course, I have the three Kyosho 1/43 racing models (and two street cars) to keep me company until I can shel out the money for that thing (:

 

[Johnny1996]

@a6m5: I'm amazed by those cars.

The only thing stopping me from uncarding the SVO is that its my first AW.

Screw it. Its coming out.

Eh not really, for me at least. I saw one in a Walmart the other day, didn't see anything special about it.

BTW I still haven't seen the M2 Volkswagens in the store yet.

It wasn't that bad, Cano. It's standard backorder. Here it is. $15 + shipping from AmiAmi. Heck, that's less than $TH money on eBay.

Screw it. Its coming out.

I don't know who you were kidding, but of course it is.

That's not..... cool mang..... Stationwagons rock......

I haven't been to Walmart in forever, so I don't know how our store's been, but that's not a good sign. Also, their craftsmanship was as bad as ever. When I picked up my van & a bug, I had to look at different ones & pick out ones that looked like it was put together by someone at least ten years of age, not the standard six, or seven. Love M2, but they really need to get it together(also applies to small parts on their cars lol).

Edit: I forgot to reply to this earlier(so many posts!)

TLV try to stay true to 1:64. It is fun to put the Toyota Publica, for example, up against one of the buses and semis. I will have to do that at some point.

One of my favorite Tomicas: Honda T360


It was so small, I thought they sent me a wrong scale diecast. Cute as hell though.

 

[CodeRedR51]

They are hit or miss, same with Greenlight.

 

[Johnny1996]

I've just realized I forgot to show this:



This is how the car was on the peg, but luckily I got it for 50 cents.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Old stuff

Toyota rsc

Matchbox Mercedes truck

Fast bed haulers, green one is cabbin' fever.

 

[Johnny1996]

I have that Mercedes lorry truck and, more recently, that blue FastBed Hauler.

The blue one took me forever to find, red one I found yesterday.

Same with the blue, but no red one yet.

D'oh! I meant "truck"

 

[a6m5]

I think their casting design has its own charm, but with them, problems lie in assembly & quality control. Very poor.

On the other hand, I just had to look at the rest of the Tomicas & these TLVs are by far my favorite. Vintage charm of the Fairlady & Isuzu Beret in the way they are put together & painted.... and that NISMO IDx. Ridiculous. RIDICULOUS. Do they have master skilled little people putting together those things? Design, manufacturing, assembly..... just the best I've ever seen. 👍
