Civilian doesn't rank high enough on my list for me to actually go get it, but man, that casting is nice(checked it out on Japan Booster). 👍

Funny, never thought much of the TLV buses in the past, I mean they're cool and all but they never really appealed to me. But @jtl46 converted me to the Nissan back when he posted some pictures of the Green/White Civilian a little while ago. Definitely see one of those in my future.

Edit: I just ordered this from AmiAmi.

Have no idea who that company is. But my god, those Bellett's! :drool:

It's nothing exciting but it's closest I can get to a car my family has.

Ooh, even more intrigued now. Again looking forward to seeing what it is. 👍
 
Picked up a HotWheels C7 'Vette and Huayra today :)

Saw them and just had to have them. Still looking for a Porsche 918 though... they're pretty expensive online, hoping one would show up at Tesco or something....
 
Okay, here are my next three! We'll start with my Aventador.

IMG_20140720_193515.jpg After seeing the new Gallardo at a car show today, I just knew I had to do this one.

IMG_20140720_193617.jpg Although I forget the brand, I do remember it's not a hot wheels or matchbox.

Next, the first car I picked: my 1970 Dodge Challenger.
IMG_20140720_193748.jpg If it were painted different, this would be much better in my opinion.

And finally, my 68 Mercury cougar.
IMG_20140720_194238.jpg I saw a really nice 67 Mercury today as well, so I really wanted to do this one as well.

IMG_20140720_194433.jpg As seen in the pic above, the hood opens.

IMG_20140720_194452.jpg I'd much rather have a black one, but oh well.
 
AGH. Info?
AmiAmi

I've only found out this much:

  • Set of ten.
  • Three models, three colors of each.
  • Well detailed, but plastic body.
  • Packaged in blind boxes(w/gum).
  • Comes half assembled.
I don't know how they determine the "tenth" car in the case. No surprise/bonus model as far as I know. I have no idea what to expect. :crazy:

Edit. Did you catch my post here?
 
Couple of cars from the other day.

New nickname for you(you have like a hundred). C2....... Cano 2. :lol:

More pics here.

Gotdamn, awesome. That almost looks like it's bigger then 1:64, eh? :drool:

And while we're on the subject of AmiAmi. I may have paid for this back order this morning........
 
all from Jeff Koch, who is known for his booth at JCCS his exploits in Hot Rod magazine in the late 90s

Fixed. Say hi next time you see him 👍

No I) didn't catch it. Pretty aewesome. $45 for one car?
 
:crazy:

It's a ten pack! Read!


omFg 45 for ten of those is a steal. I want to but I can't due to having spent close to $200 in Hot Wheels two days ago :/

also screw you, you never specified if it was $45 for one car or $45 for the set ¬¬
 
So you're telling me I went through the same bin 5 times scrounging past 3 of the same wheel variation 620 this whole time?
Maybe. But I bought 4 of them today so holler if you need. Off to HWC to see if they need too.

Edit: (3 of the 4 pictured)

Everyone talking about and ordering TLV's is making me Jelly. If only I wasn't in the process of building a house and had other things above TLV's on my want list.
