New Kyoshos have arrived at the store:

The chase cars:

70 USD each.

Pure torture, I tell ya! Especially that blue FXXK!


And here are some regulars:

At a "friendlier", 18 USD each.

Tarmac Honda/Spoon Civic - As suspected, not bad, but not great either. I think the design has little trouble in the front & back end. From this side angle, I think it looks perfect.

Yeah I might open my cars tonight. @a6m5

Show us what the rest of the car looks like if you can. 👍

Honestly I don't mind their metallic paint but if it ends up looking anything like the purple VGT, I'd pass too.

Nearly threw up in my mouth just now.

I read on an alternative facts website that the 'b' suffix means sparkly black.

Nice try.

Understandable reaction.

Still has the best part of 21 hours to go.

Madness.

Mind if I give you a few tips, Beef...? The engine bay picture is too blurry to make anything out of it. When taking pictures of the engine bays, don't get the camera closer to the engine bay, it'll have a hard time focusing on the tiny details. Use the zoom feature instead, try to see how much you can zoom in before the camera can't regain the focus...

The light is also a bit iffy on the first picture, the car looks a bit too dark (yes, I know it's a black car, but the lack of light won't help much either)... But other than that, nice Olds, it's certainly an unusual car choice when it comes to old Americana.

I just looked. It's $99 now. I wish I had a spare to sell.

Should have ordered two when we had the chance.

Who knew it was going to be so popular though?

 

[GroupB]

Certain ones are pre-ordained to go through the roof. It's a Japanese thing.

Also, for those who are used to normal diecast production runs that can last years, the "Limited" part of TLV means that they make one batch and that's it. If you miss the initial release month, you are at the mercy of the resale market.

Well that's a bold claim... What makes you say that?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm in for the Lotus and the Sonora Shredder.

Oh, and:

I know it's not riveted together but

We definitely didn't see it coming

Red R35 GT-R. lol

Look at the last pic! That phone was wasted!

I know it's not riveted together but

What is happening with that.... Is that Hot Wheels(wheels) or Matchbox?

No thank you.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hot Wheels. It looks like they took the previous R35 casting and changed the front.

 

[AOS-]

I've got a couple of those matte black Evoras from several years ago. wink wink

 

[a6m5]

No thank you.

lmao

Hot Wheels. It looks like they took the previous R35 casting and changed the front.

So far.... not good.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

I found the Evora, Skyline, Tuk Tuk and the Sonora Shredder last weekend!

 

[Spacegoat]

Red R35 GT-R. lol

Was that the Abunai Deka GT-R?

Yeah, that one sold out crazy fast.

No thank you.

Exactly.

So last week, I thought I finally got these Datsun Bluebirds in the mail when I saw that one of the packages came from Hot Wheels? It wasn't meant to be then..... but today, I had another package from Hot Wheels!!!

Again, I opened it right then & there!!

Spoiler

No letdown this time, as the car's actually as cool as it gets.

I couldn't even tell you when the car was actually ordered. It was a freebie anyway from RLC, but I want to say that it was over a year ago when they took the order.

Was that the Abunai Deka GT-R?

Yeah, that one sold out crazy fast.

That was fast, but I was referring to the one of the original four. Demand for the red got crazy, fast.

 

[Johnny1996]

Oh. My. God. That Nova!

 

[a6m5]

What a bummer. I got a steal on this order, even with the $25 shipping, but the ladder truck had busted roof lamp & the Hino truck is missing the exclusive figure it's supposed to come with.

I contacted the eBay seller, I'm really hoping he can find the missing figure.

P.S. If any of you ever order the ladder truck, have them packaged really well. I've had four shipped to me, two were damaged. I've shipped them twice, okay both times, but I am the master shipper.

Oh. My. God. That Nova!

I'm a big fan of the Super Nova, too. I was able to score the regular RLC Super Nova before it got crazy(for something like $26-ish, shipped). That thing skyrocketed in value, maybe this will...... *checks package* or maybe not. It says 2091 of 10200. Oh well, still love it.

Edit: Jesus Christ. Original black's were going for $150 to $200, these new blue one's for $50 or more. I want to open it. I love the Chevy Bel Air Gasser too, but man, they are ugly from the front. Hoping this isn't the case with the Super Novas.

It's my 2nd favorite behind the one below. Both of them are just so perfect.

I have that! That just reminded me of another cool one, from the Garage Series. One of my best grocery store finds!
