Hey, I'd put money on 100% if there were more castings I liked.

I should follow my own preaching and actually put money on them. They're sometimes Kyosho-like quality but in muscle cars and historic hot rods and stuff. I'll get more into it eventually. I have a few sets coming my way.
 
Interesting you'd compare them to Kyosho over M2.

So anyway, Spark Models started getting into 1:64s and they've only got 2 models out so far.

Show some support by buying it off DaBoxToys. We just may get more baller race cars if sales are good for them.

Oh, so you bought them too? How are they? I'm still waiting for mine! they look pretty damn good in pics, how are they in real life? Screwed together or rivetted?
 
I never take a good look at any of my castings. All I get caught up with is taking them out of the package, immediately getting a photo in hopes no dust buildup has taken place and putting them back in. :lol:

What I do remember is that the wheels are gotdamn nice like Kyoshos; thin wee ol spokes not joined together from a cheap mold. No brake calipers like the Raybrig NSX though. I think the Raybrig is the only Kyosho I have that has calipers for that matter.
 
Another good reason why I didn't have get into Star Wars: Absolutely zero interest: no money to be spent impulsively. :D
 
How the hell do I make it into that group? :confused: It's all your fault anyway Shinji. :lol:
Whoever this Shinji person is, I'm with you. 🤬 him!
Meanwhile I don't even really have one.

Now that I said this someone's probably going to give me one. :lol:
How do you give nickname to someone named Johnny? You can't improve on that. 👍
Lol. I love that the legend is alive and well.
You would know. You are the legend! Maybe not like the baseball legend Babe Ruth, but sort of like 1989 Acura/Honda Legend. With like 147,000 miles on the odometer, but she still runs. lol
J-Dawg
J-Money
Josh? J-Carrot? J.C.? Josh the Carrot?
J-Dawg, J-Money, J-Rod, Magic Johnson(don't ask me), Sexygoat(don't look at me). There were several others I can't get into here, because I like my time here & don't want to get banned.


Wouldn't you agree, Shinji? :P
I cry to sleep every night because of this stupid nickname you gave me. j/k

:lol:

What do I have? Ando? That's all? :/
I've called you a hoser like a million times. Take off, eh?

I think I post 100%/Black Box more than anybody else has, at least so far this year.
Interesting you'd compare them to Kyosho over M2.
I agree they are probably closer to M2, but I think they are very unique. They aren't like anything else. They can be more like Johnny Lightning, or Greenlight at times.
So anyway, Spark Models started getting into 1:64s and they've only got 2 models out so far.
I saw info on this awhile back....... then I got into TLVs & forgot all about it. :lol: Looking good! 👍
Nice find, great review. Nice to hear that the quality is way above what you pay for them. I'm looking forward to getting mine!


I'm playing the Darth Vader, "Star Wars" Hot Wheels = JarJar
 
Spaceboat, Spacemoat, Spaceoat, Spacecoat, Spaceoat, Spacethroat. Kay I'll stop, Jared.

International, not a jeep.

International Scout 4x4, not International. :P

Johnny-boi. That's how I page my colleague to the cash registers at work.

Would you prefer Mister Taro? Teru? Shinjiteru? :lol:
Yeah now I remember the hoser thing. But hoser's not a nickname though, you plant!

Funny thing is my real name is just John. My username is what I wanted my PSN name to be, and it is. Everybody calls me Johnny like its my real name.

It's not funny, that's just what I expected. "Johnny" is a classic, so I'm not going to play around with that one. And Spaceboot, if I get carried away, tell me to stop anytime. I'm serious, Spamgoat.
 
Indeed it isn't, but if it's one less thing to go nuts about, I'm all for it.

Finding ways to spend less in a hobby I got myself stuck in.
Well the money I save by not spending hundreds on stuff from Japan can go towards the Star Wars stuff. To each their own.
 
^ BTW dude, this post:

in no way whatsoever is meant to disprove your like towards Star Wars. Chill.

:lol: I lost it at "Spaceboot" :lol: but of course I mean no harm.

:lol:

To be fair I don't call you that as frequently as I used to. Only when you post something cool and awesome that really irritates me, which is like all the time actually. :lol: Edit: The Autobacs Bluebird is still available for backorder a6, just saying. :D
Kay I'll stop, Jared.

Yeah, that would be good. J-Rod sounds so, very very wrong. :lol:
Funny thing is my real name is just John.

Well there's your problem. Should have given yourself a stupid and silly username like I did. :D I should totally change my name to Spaceboot, of course I'd have to change the sig too but how good would it look? "I always leave some room for a boot". :lol:
Everybody calls me Johnny like its my real name.

Done, I'll call you John from now on. 👍

Cheapest shipping alone generally cost in hundreds from Japan. Larger order I get from AmiAmi or Japan Booster sometimes go over ten-thousand. Yen.

:P

PS:

Tomica Limited Vintage = Death Star

'Star Wars' Hot Wheels = That planet that got blown up by the Death Star in Episode IV

Just go with it. Don't be a such a hoser.

Jarrod loves me. He won't hit me. Hard.

:scared:

Thanks a lot, Shinji. Really. I'm gonna start calling you Shinji everytime you make me jealous, too.
Yeah, that would be good. J-Rod sounds so, very very wrong. :lol:
That would, like, totally depend on your pervspective, dude.

I don't know where my username comes from, but it's the same for everything. Xbox, email, etc etc
I just figured your two favorite cars are Toyota Avalon & VW Bug. Nothing to be ashamed of. Old people loves Avalon(AKA, Japanese Buick), and Bug.... Bug is just old.

Just for the record, a6m5 is not a combination of Audi A6 & BMW M5. Lot of people make this assumption, but I would never, so don't worry about me, Avalonbug. :P
 
Lol ok. And I don't really like the Toyota Avalon actually. And I didn't know it was considered the Japanese equivelant of the Buick. The more you know
