Sounds totally wrong, but the do look really nice on the car. :lol:


Last Christmas, my sister gave me two Kyosho GT-R boxes and an iPad mini cover. I opened those Kyosho boxes, and they contain Kenmeri sedans of the same color! :lol:

Sadly, one has to donate its side mirrors for the RX-3.
 
Shame that had to happen...

Anyone have a 1/64 Ford Capri Group 5 Race Car or a Kyosho Ferrari F40 for sale?
 
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. 👍

Tear that card off for 50% off! :lol:


Yep. Just finished the IDx post for Lamley tomorrow. You can't overstate how amazing the Nismo is. In the post I highlight the detail on the wheels and brakes. It starts there and keeps going. I have said it before, but the IDx Nismo is going to be the TLV gateway drug for a lot of people.

Love the pic of the Honda Kei Car. Here are a couple of photos I took awhile ago:



 
The only way I'll ever stop collecting is if the Mrs wants me to give it up, whoever it may be. And that'll still be a tough decision. I struggle (maybe that's an exaggeration) to get through a week and a half without poking about the pegs.
 
Just opened one of the Seibu Keisatsu sets:



Volume 08 is the Nissan Gloria and Laurel Police cars. INSANE! You cannot go wrong with the Osaka black and white livery, but with mags and gold lace? Over the top:




Glad I found a fellow TLV nut in a6. Too bad he stopped collecting...

That post caused me to slap myself in the face multiple times to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

The only way I'll stop collecting is if hot wheels starts making every car a fantasy car.

Wouldn't worry about it, if I recall this is like the third, maybe even fourth time a6 has claimed he's going to stop in the last few years. :lol: (@a6m5 J/k :P) And man, those sets are epic. The Laurel with those mags? Perfection in my book. :drool:👍

Oh boy I'd still be collecting then...

....That's only if the fantasy cars available look cool. Can't wait for those N Case fantasies to arrive. Gotta check out that torpedo-like car.

I realize they are very dusty. Even after I wiped off most of it. :crazy: :yuck: I won't get to the Tomica's tonight. :dopey:

Nope, not limited.
