I knew that. It's kool.@a6m5: Its called Speedbox.
👍Yeah. I saw 2, 3 more buses I really would like to have, but after you spend $95 on one bus, you are pretty much done for the day.It can be. It can also be very disheartening at times.

Think I'll go back to Tucson Sunday (have to work Saturday) and get that 9 pack with the Datsun 620 wheel error.
10 hours of overtime this week. Woot.

@Daniel008 Yet, another car I used to want real bad. It kind of took back seat to the 1/64 buses(bu$e$?)I'm after now, but it still looks so frigging awesome.👍
@Gotbeefboy564 I'd have given you a "like" if you cut that sucker open, then post a selfie of yourself holding a Super Treasure Hunt...... What the hell, I'll give you a "like" anyway.
@Johnny1996 Love the Mooneyes & that sport wagon looking TH(forget the name).
Little things like that go a long way sometimes.
That was flipping money! 👍👍 I browsed in here from my phone during some downtime this morning when I saw your post. I can't move fast enough from my piece of crap phone, so I get on the work computer to grab it at a lightning speed.
I apologize I couldn't go thru the Lamley link like I usually do(web's filtered heavily), but I really appreciate the tip. I'm so glad it was still there!
My most expensive hot wheels/minicar title now goes to this bus($95):
To get the free shipping, I added this little police car I've been eyeing from Japan Booster's eBay inventory:
I just bought the plain blue one recently(love that, too). Mazda Familia, which I assume is the original Mazda 323/Protege/3.
I also just happened to have spent the most money for a baseball cap on eBay($55), but I don't care. Sometimes, you gotta pay for the good stuff.
P.S. I recommend anyone from here to check out his Tomica Limited Vintage inventory on eBay. His seller name on eBay is crosssea222. I usually just google "lamley japan booster", then ride the Japan Booster link from there. If you are buying, his pricing is some of the lowest online + have really cool old, hard to find inventory that's updated routinely. If you are not buying, just enjoy his blog-quality photography of these cars from all angles(except top & bottom lol). It's fun even just to window shop!
Last night I saw that bus and I was like WTH...$95 USD! But its freaking awesome looking! That little police is on my wanted list as well...just that now my wallet aint talking to me no more.
The Hotwheels here is disappointing and Matchbox is even worst. I rarely see them in stores.

Yeah, those buses can be stupid expensive. I believe they originally retailed for around $30. Cheap ones seems to go for $50+ now(my first was $57-ish), shipped. One I just got though, like I said in yesterday's post, I had never even seen one for sale before(available to U.S.), so that was a big assist from @jtl46.Last night I saw that bus and I was like WTH...$95 USD! But its freaking awesome looking! That little police is on my wanted list as well...just that now my wallet aint talking to me no more.
Mazda Familia police car, I think I've had on my watch list for few days. I'm glad it was still there. Again, the bus was great, but now me competing for that Kyosho Skyline on eBay's a bit of long shot, so I am tad disappointed about that.
P.S. I'd recommend the Isuzu bus. I think they feature better detail. Two I've been after were both Hino(Keioh I just picked up + Tokyu in silver/red), but that's only because they served the area I lived in, or frequented. LOVE my green Isuzu bus!

Glad you got the bus, and I will forgive you not using the link just this once. ;-)
I am looking through those newly listed buses to see if there is one or more I want. They are amazingly detailed.
My package did arrive from Japan Booster today. I will do an unboxing report on Lamley, but here are the answers to the questions of earlier:
It was Skyline heavy with the Seibu Keisatsu RS Machines 1 through 3, and the two Super Silhouettes. So there are 3 variants on the Skyline, and Japan Booster sent me the two I didn't have. I have to say the black front/gold wire variant is the best looking of the three. The Gloria and orange 510 have been on my want list for awhile. And damn that Bellet is awesome...

As crazy as $95 is, it is a great price for those. I have seen them sell for much more...

I'd recommend that LV-23b. Never had seen it before, but that thing is pure class. 👍 I'm sorry I can't get it, but I am so glad about the Keioh bus.
:tup:I am so jealous of the black wheeled Super Silhouette Skyline(glad you got to complete the lineup).
Love the 510 Bluebird, too, but especially the Gloria. Pricey, but it so looks like it's worth it. I still want the Autobacs & Coke Light Bluebird Super Silhouettes. It's gonna be tough picking the next target!

@a6m5. That Mazda Familia so needs the TLV Police station.

Always the way isn't it? Something you've been after forever comes up only when you are already committed to some other things.
Totally need that Police Station in the future though Shinji, just imagine you could have your very own Tomica town.

USPS tracking has been really off, lately. They can go days without a scan, then bam, it's suddenly in your mail box. Also, L.A. Customs/Post Office sucks. My packages often spends many days in L.A.
From Japan Booster:
God, I hate glitchbucket. @jtl46 You were right. Unmarked Crown police car was a Tomica Shop item. 👍
Like I said before, I do like Tomicarama stuff for backdrop though.

Tomica should make modified versions of the 510. Then I would buy one.
Also, I bought a car tonight. Pic incoming.

So this isn't $200 box of Tomica's exciting.... but I thought it was neat enough for me to spare $1.

You should post that twice. Oh, nevermind(there was a glitch). lol
That looks familiar. I may have seen it tonight at Target.
At least I've purchased numerous times from both!

I'd love a clean one, lowered. 👍 It can be done(custom), we've seen it.
Dang. You got quite a collection, don't you?Still waiting for shipment, in the meantime ....
I had to add the black 4-door to my AmiAmi preorder. Thing is..... without the killer pics from Japan Booster, I likely wouldn't have ordered one...... I kinda feel guilty.
