Some hotwheels & matchbox time...:gtpflag:

I am getting all four vans. They look fantastic.
I don't know if it's the angle of the shot Jason posted, but I'm really liking the North American NISMO. :drool:
Ordered. Mr. I-no-collect is influencing others to collect. Make up your mind, son! :lol:
No brainer!
I also want this.
I've been looking at it for months now myself, but seriously, your wish list grew really long today. :lol:
Those Tomicas are diecast right?
Just like the rest!

Love the Billboard Truck. Sweet! 👍
 
Must be. Yeah, I'd be preordering the black one for sure. For now, I think I'll settle for the gold Daihatsu & blue Toyota.

Opposite ftw, I went for the Brown Daihatsu & White Toyota. :lol:
You should look into ordering a NISMO IDx there, Jarrod. The current one, it seems to be going back & forth between sold out & backorder. Which is to be expected. It's cool, even by TLV standards. 👍

Well, looking at it again, it does look nicer with that grill and considering how popular the Tokyo version was and how I didn't bother getting one. Think I'll regret it if I don't this time, going to be one of those models that only goes up value. Done and combining it with the Daihatsu sure was easy. 👍
Me & Jarrod, we stalk the AmiAmi car pages & they are filled with preorders. :lol:

Indeed I check them out every second day or so. And so much for saying I'm done with AmiAmi after the Isuzu drops in late Sept, got another three cars on order after that now. :lol: :crazy:
I call it the "In my dreams" list.

Mine's pretty much never ending....
 
Took some pics for some future posts. Here are some, with the buses I promised:

Hino RB10 type Bus


To get a sense of scale:



Isuzu BU04 type Bus



Nissan Civilian





Nissan 680 Truck





Toyota Publica




Suzuki Alto



On the big vehicles, I haven't added the accessories like side mirrors and decals...

Exactly. Hot commodity. 👍

It's monthly for me now. Starting to remind me of childhood, looking forward to the monthly magazines, manga/comics, etc. :lol:

What a post! 👍 I've yet to apply any accessories on any of my TLVs. If you display your cars though, they'd certainly look cooler with them.

That Asahi newspaper truck, along with the Coke truck I think are what got me into the TLVs.

Sorry, I wanted to link thumbnails, but it won't let me for some reason:



People in charge of TLVs just comes up with such unique selections. I've seen at least couple of publications on TLVs(one on production, another a catalog) & only thing stopping me is the price tag. I often see them going for $50+. :crazy:

I mentioned before, but I didn't even realize they had yellow Alto in the line up. Very cool addition you got there. 👍

Finally..... again. That Fairlady. What a job they did with that. :drool:
I like them all, but I don't why, I think the Altos are the best.
They are cool. 👍 I think I'll take a pic of the older Alto I just got, probably tomorrow. :)

Digging the Coke truck. I have been considering it for awhile, and of course the danger is seeing better pics than what is on online stores. Gonna have to contact Japan Booster again.

The accessories will go on. Obviously the larger models don't fit in my Carney displays, but I am considering this to go over my new desk when I get it:



Should work nicely for the larger models.

Yeah the three Altos are great. I don't have one of the older version, just the Fronte, pictured next to other large TLV I have (which I believe I have shown here before):



My latest package from Japan Booster is here in the States. Let's see if it arrives before I leave for the Matchbox convention next week. Two more Super Silhouettes, RS Machine 1, 2, and 3, orange 510, and a Nissan Gloria. I think. I lose track.

Those buses/trucks cost a fortune. Love it.

My coke truck is on the way! Can't wait!!! :lol:
 
Are you serous!? 👍

True. I keep telling myself I need to learn & practice on a dollar hot wheels before I actually even start thinking about touching the cars I like. :D

Yes, now I have jumped onto the TLV wagon. :gtpflag: But they do cost a bomb. :banghead:
 
I imagine several of you may want it. I suggest any takers PM me with your best offer. I'll leave a 5-day window open for offers.
 
:embarrassed:

...... and RS Machine 1, 2 & 3, they are from Seibu Keisatsu, right? Pricing did scare me away initially, but I've been thinking about at least looking for one of them. I can't believe how many cars they have in the Seibu series already!

Edit: Here's a cool Tomica Limited Vintage bus closing tomorrow morning on eBay. It may end up being a pretty good deal.....

Yeah, the RS2000 Skylines from Seibu Keisatsu. There are not many differences between the three, but they are great. The Seibu Keisatsu models are fantastic. A little sportier than their standard counterparts. The cop cars in the set are faves.

That bus is great. Go get it!!
 
ugh...i want some TLV...but everytime i'm about to click commit to buy, rational thoughts begin...And i instead go to buy 1:43 Japanese mini cars... it's like iv'e been brainwashed...

And the last time i bought a TLV Neo (Civic EG in yellow) for 50$....i felt nothing but regret..

Which is currently boxed up with the others ready to be displayed..but i'm too lazy and can't be bothered to place them yet..


Honestly...for the money Kyosho 1:64 is better jmo.
 
I will be getting a white plain-bodied Kyosho 1:64 BMW M3 GTR, via a trade.

What I'll be trading? My yellow BMW Isetta. YES, AN ISETTA, out of all cars.


When I passed by the store a while ago to check the latest items, the shopkeeper told me that a customer bought a BMW Kyosho blind box, and upon opening it, it revealed that M3 GTR. And in actuality, he wants an Isetta from that set. Knowing that I have two, she arranged a trade. Any one of those Isettas can be traded with, and I picked the yellow one from my cabinet, screwed it back on its base, covered it and then placed it back in its box (this is why I keep Kyosho boxes and display cases).


To think a Kyosho 1:64 trade will take place... Chances like that are one in a million.
