Found the foxbody Mustang police car in the grocery store tonight. Hanging with the silver Panamera that's been out for months. No other cars on the peg...weird. Also, finally picked up the blue Auto World Pontiac Firebird that I had passed on for something like a year.

Remember the photo I posted a while ago of the Walmart with empty pegs? Yeah, it's like twice as bad now. And my local store is about the same. WTF Walmart, where are the new Auto World cars!?!?

It is funny. My Walmart, it was just about all empty a week or two ago. I got tired of looking everyday, I don't even bother anymore.
 
I really like the Skylines and 599XX. The Mountain Mauler though, I'm not even going to guess what that thing is in the blister.
 
I'm in HK right now. This is where I buy Kyoshos...

Too bad the ones I'm looking for are not available. But I walked out of the store with these:

I've seen the Kenmeri go for about $120. I'm sure you didn't spend that but I'm also sure it wasn't cheap either. $70?
 
@AOS-
Displays of such diecast wealth, are disgusting and vulgar! :yuck:

Let me bring some balance to this diecast world we live in..

I paid only £1 yes £1 (that's about 65-70 cents in your earth dollars), for this little beauty..

Realtoy/Tesco (supermarket brand) Nissan 370Z:





Seriously, the cast is pretty accurate (more-so than HWs rendition). The scale and quality remind me of Matchbox, and the colour suits it to a tee.




Kind of shooting two birds with one stone, with these couple of pics. I've just started building a Lego roller coaster, which i think will make a nice diorama for my diecast.

It just simply wouldn't work as-well with K-nex. :D

5250 Yen. *rainbow LEDs light up*

$39
 
Just an update of sorts. When I first starting posting here, I swore that I wouldn't spend more than $5 on a car. Then I found M2's. Now I have 7 of them. I prefer them to Hot Wheels. I'm sure at this rate, I'll be getting into Tomica's and such. Just wanted to let you all know, you were right.
 
Got my other Jeep. Slightly disappointed with this one, the rear axle is bent and I had to touch up the rear wheel with a silver sharpie, as well as fill in some paint chips on the fender extensions with a black sharpie. Might just buy another one at some point, since this one doesn't sit right.

To be real, it's hard to maintain such a commitment when the rest of us are showing off all the goodies.

But yeah, nice effort at resisting. Thanks for playing!

Welcome to the abyss, a very pleasurable abyss, that's the world of being a 1:64 collector. :cheers:
 
You did quite well, you mofo.
