That's tempting.

So I've finally got hold of a #3 Toyota TS020...
YAY!
Will post pictures when it arrives. If only Spark would now make a 1:18 of the TS010...

Jealous.
The #3 Toyota is the one I want, but I'm loathed to shell out $250+ dollars for one if they ever even appear on eBay. Did you end up getting yours from some auction site?
Also, pictures?

I saw one of these a while ago, definitely wanting to get this in the future. It is an amazing looking car and the model has great detail.So I've finally got hold of a #3 Toyota TS020...

Congratulations on your purchase, remember to post pictures!

It has to arrive at my door before I can post images of it
Yes, I got one off Ebay. It's ridiculous how much people are asking for the TS020 models. But once in a while, one pops up at a nice price. I've been looking for a '99 TS020 for 2 years now, but I missed out of some good deals. And I'm not spending 200 euros on one either. I found an american seller with an absolute mint #3 TS020, but he wanted $400 for it... I made him a 150 euro offer, but he never replied to me.
I bought a used one where the left mirror was not attached, but the seller still had it and would include it in the shipment. So I can easily repair it. Got it for 85 euros, might turn out to be somewhat of a steal. I did the same with my Lola Aston Martin LMP1 model. It arrived in bits, sadly because I paid 160 euros for it, but some super glue and it's as good as new!
Try and find a #35 '98 Mercedes CLK-GTR, now that is a super rare model!

yep, pic 3. (and I think on 1 and 2 too, but not sure) though not as far as the 1:1. And now seeing the rear gap above, the HWE is totally out of scale.

From Germany to New Zealand in a week, as usual the rest of the globe is proving that they can travel half the world in the time it takes for New Zealand to send something from the top to the middle of their own country (that usually takes nearly two weeks). Though that may have been partly due to CK-Modelcars using a bit of a departure from their usual bombardments of packaging... Or so I thought.
The box looks kind of shoddy by their standards.
What? I didn't buy no Welly? Nor is it a 1/18 Bentley Continental.
This is the first time I've seen them use staples on their boxing, and they must have run out of their usual branded tape as the bottom of the box had standard beige tape. But what's inside? You know what's inside, anyone who's bought from CK-modelcars knows what's inside.
Absolutely nothing but Styrofoam... Lots and lots of Styrofoam, I questioned whether I'd bought diecasts from the store, or if I'd actually just asked for a large box of green Styrofoam. Though with a quick bit of luck I found item #1, and you'll be momentarily baffled to find that I hadn't bought a diecast, or lots of Styrofoam.
Wooooah, momma. I paid eighty New Zealand dollars for that. $80! And you know what? It's worth it, it's brilliant. Celebrating not only the day Ford showed Ferrari how it's done, but also the year which Le Mans was won by two New Zealand drivers. Some people take pride in their country because of its values, or the sheer size of it, but me? Have a sort of underdog country making it big on the world scene. That's epic! Though my mother did just walk in and noticed it, and her face said it all. She thinks it's absolutely awful (too polite to admit it though. And it might have actually been the shock of the package-packaging ratio.), which leads me to believe I made the right decision in buying this.
I'm going to hang this up on the wall somewhere, and below it I plan on getting either a 1/43 GT40 to match, or a 1/18. I still haven't decided which would make it look best as a sort of display. I'm thinking 1/43 because it would be smaller, and with the same amount of detail at first glance. And that's the modern way of everything, right? Make it smaller but with more stuffed in.
But now you question, why on earth did you post that here? It's not a diecast. And you wouldn't be mistaken, it isn't. There was something else buried deep in the styropit. And no, it's not what you'd expect it to be based on the previous image... Back into the pit I search, it can take a man hours to find a 1/43 car inside a box this big...
But tadaaa!
To be honest, finding this only took about four seconds. I got lucky. When they're selling an HPI diecast of one of your favourite rally cars for $20, you don't wait around... Even though I procrastinated on buying this for about six months.
Today was/is a good day.

1/18 Koenigsegg Agera by AutoArt Signature Collection.
This arrived a few days ago, such a beautiful model!
Argh, man, you're about to give me a heart attack.
That is absoutely magnificient, what a car. You don't see a scale model of those every day, and that Auto Art pretty much clinches it. Was it expensive? (probably a dumb question, but still worth asking)

Yes, I desperately wanted to add an Agera to my collection, but found out that only AutoArt had made one! I bought it from minimodelshop.co.uk if you want to have a lookArgh, man, you're about to give me a heart attack.

Well that's odd... Why aren't more companies doing an Agera model? It's not a bad car...
Also, curse you, more car model shops? My wallet!

That's actually a very good question. Why aren't there more Koenigsegg models? Licensing issues? I have no idea why would that be a thing.

There must be something - perhaps AutoArt had been given exclusive rights or there is a strict licensing policy on the Koenigsegg models?!

Definitely! That One:1 is an absolute beast! I personally think it is even better than the Agera!Guess so. Maybe in a few years we'll have a One:1 model to collect...
I was lucky enough it see one of these race up the hillclimb at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last year - it rocketed past like it wasn't there!

God bless you, Lord March. Must be a real looker, and also sounds like a bat out of hell when you rev it, huh?
