So many things I want, so little money. Why did I even bother clicking on that link in the first place?

Orange Bellett. So awesome. :embarrassed::tup:
 

Damn. Yes I want :drool: I love landyatchs!

The outdated wheels is actually a Tomica Icon. :lol:
(Indeed it is. It's not outdated, A new wheel variant was made when production shifted to Vietnam, It's still the same with stiffer suspension, mind you..)

While I do think it is outdated, I absolutely agree with you that the tomica wheel is an absolute icon of the brand 👍 but maaaan they need an upgrade :lol:

The upgrades Tomica needs to do is add plastic and stop putting on "Paint-on rear-hatches.." :lol:
 
I just got a linked-in contact request from a Hot Wheels designer. Not sure how he got my email, maybe from HWC.com. Sort of odd at this time of night. :P Not to mention I didn't have an account at linked-in to begin with.

Job opportunity?



Said I was going to take numerous photos some weeks ago, but I got lazy. So I'll give you this instead:

Kyosho BMW McLaren F1 GTR

Individual blog submission photos are already up if you don't want to wait. Link's in the sig. :)

Easily the best-looking of all the F1 GTRs in the set. Here, no one still buys it (the short tail), and I might grab it.

Probably to pair it with the plain-body version I have.

The Ueno Clinic and BMW Fina liveries are by far my favourite. I have that JGTC as well, but one is never enough. :lol:
 
But then comes I don't know of them what to buy. I really am clueless when it comes to these..


Tomica Limited models that people seek:


Toyota 7
DeTomaso Pantera GTS
Lamborghini Countach LP500S
Honda NSX Type R
Mazda Savanna RX-3
Nissan Kenmeri Skyline GT-R (There are at least 2 of them... as far as I know)
Nissan Skyline GTS-R R31 (There are 4 of them)
Porsche 911 Turbo (930; 2 variations)
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV
Toyota AE86 Trueno (there are zillions of them, especially the Initial D ones :P)
Toyota Celica TA22
All JGTC cars
Initial D sets
Nissan Skyline GT-R collection
Honda S800/S2000 set
Lamborghini Countach LP500S/Miura SV set
Toyota 2000GT (again, there are plenty of them)
Porsche 911S set


These are all available in a store nearby my home. All in wallet wrecking, salary-eating prices. :D
 
Hoped to come home from the 24-hour Tesco with some HW. Left with a World Cup rubber duck instead. The HW were colour changers, multipacks or 4X4s.

Believe it or not, I know exactly how you feel. I do overspend & go for them now, because odds are, more those cars become of "vintage", I really won't be able to get them later. Secondary market prices on popular & discontinued cars are impossible. Like that Tokyu bus I want. $100. :crazy:
Damn. Yes I want :drool: I love landyatchs!
I have a soft spot for them, too. I was born in the 70's. American Car = BIG.

I doubt this is the case, but I've seen plenty of phishing emails using that site. This is "Hot Wheels" specific, so I doubt that's the case with this one, but just keep that in mind. ;)
In no way am I a designer. He's probably just trying to add to his numbers on there.
Ah, maybe those emails I received weren't phishing at all. :lol:

Super. Amazing. 👍
How much is the Toyota 7? :P
I've had one on my eBay watch list for more than couple of months. $20, shipped.
It's a Tomica for sure, I can tell by the wheels.
You are proven right again...... but not in the way you think.

I have a Tomica NSX I hate. I'm keeping it now. :drool:
 
Love it! Gonna get one of this soon!
If I recall...... That one's crazy expensive. :crazy: Love @jtl46 close shots of TLVs though. 👍

Edit: Oh, yeah. Cheapest one I found on eBay was $60+, shipped. :ouch:
Amazing what difference a simple wheel swap does, eh? :drool: But then again probably anything would be an improvement over those crappy regular Tomica wheels. :lol:
Night & day difference. One of the best wheel-swaps I've ever seen! :D

Glad you like the pics. I like taking them. I have had that Ambulance for awhile. Don't know how much I paid for it. If you want to talk crazy expensive, the 5-car Transporter could take it. Contemplating the upcoming release.

Maybe I will take some pics of the three TLV buses I have...
 
Naniiiiiiii

I'm going to have to browse eBay for a while.


Hontouni takai da na.... :D


Though the store also carries reasonably priced TLs, starting from 20 USD. :D

The Lotus Exige/Europa Special 2-car set is the cheapest TL set on sale, ever. Roughly 10 USD.

The other 2-car sets cost twice as much...
