You're really going to go as far as calling your buddies a SOB? I know you tend to name-call, but please moderate what you want to use, guy. That's a tad too far imo.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm sure he was joking, lighten up.

As I told before:

I believe the set you are referring to was The ultimate Ford complex. Me and my brother got it back when KB Toys was open and it came with that set and 2 others all in one. The car was like a metallic burgundy. Pretty nice vehicle! Will upload a picture later.

Good Morning from Manila!

 

[jtl46]

There are pics of the new HW Scion FR-S and Lamborghini Aventador J on Lamley...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ugh, gonna have to get an FR-S even though I sold off all my Toyota cars...

 

[McZachenF1138]

I must say, the Scion looks much better than I thought it would. Then again, I was expecting the worst from Hot Wheels on it.
At least they made it easy to delete the tampos.

 

[RVDNuT374]

183 total cars. Amazingly, I have only one duplicate as I believe in quality over quantity. 👍 The first picture is of the 54 "used and abused" cars. The second picture has the 92 cars that are in good to perfect condition. The last picture is the 37 cars still in the package.

 

[a6m5]

They're doing it on purpose. You'll just have to get one now...

............ or two. Just in case.

Love you Cano!

Shinji, The other TH I bought unknowingly was my first TH: Studebaker Avanti.

They still had green stripes then!

Also, don't be worried about where your stuff is. I have something coming from California that just arrived in Vancouver, the west side of Canada, where I'm situated north of NY.

You'd figure they head directly to your house, but they've probably got their system so just let them do their job. One time I've had something from the East Coast get sent to Vancouver and then come back towards the east.

Mine was some electronic error. Chinese package always goes thru San Francisco for me, and the delivery back east actually said that package was ready for pick up over there, in North Carolina. No worries, I did pick it up today, safe & sound.

Kyosho Mazda 787B Le Mans 24HR RENOWN



I am so glad I lost the auction for the standard Tomica one awhile back. I desperately wanted the Le Mans winner 787b(only Japanese car ever to win it), and Kyosho rocks. 👍 I got it from that dabox toys or whatever. The base/stand thing is blemished, and I know they saw that with no mention of it, so I am disappointed with them. Not gonna lie, they did me right on the price & prompt delivery, it was just an isolated incident.

I guess I won't ever be a true collector then. Because I ain't dropping $75 bucks on a single car.

I had to try.

This was before I even knew what THs were. I paid no attention to what colour those stripes were!

183 total cars, 37 are still in the package. Amazingly, I have only one duplicate as I believe in quality over quantity. 👍

So.... you going to sell any? I see a few I want.

Oh come on, don't come to me with that, Truong. I've called you worse over and over at the other place and you've never as much as winced. Look...

I'm sure he was joking, lighten up.

Even Jason knew what was up and he wasn't even in the sob list. Lighten up, dude.

Good Morning from Manila!

I'm starting to think this guy is alsso doing it on purpose.

There are pics of the new HW Scion FR-S and Lamborghini Aventador J Mustang pair on Lamley...

Yeah those look pretty good, more wheel swap fodder :0

The Scion is horrid, just like it's real life counterpart. Ew.

............ or two. Just in case.

Love you Cano!

lol, screw you.

Le Mans winner 787b(only Japanese car ever to win it), and Kyosho rocks.

Got damn that is insane. How much?

 

[AOS-]

Just reminding you, man. I'm not hurt, but not everyone can put up with things the same way.

Anyway, I got those heavy picture frames up:

[CodeRedR51]

The Scion is horrid, just like it's real life counterpart. Ew.

Oh come on, this is just badass...

 

[AOS-]

Not with those rivets it ain't.

I wouldn't mind a riced FRS actually. I'm picturing a body kit that stretches the lower front end and bringd the back end lower.... and no rear wing installed. That almost speaks nimble to me.

 

[RCKakashi14]

That Kyosho 787B is just insane... good thing you got one. Currently looking for it in the store nearby...

Also, I am interested to compare that Scion FR-S from HW against Tomica's Toyota 86. I would be fair by putting the regular Tomica version against the HW.

If I have time after work, I might pass by the mall and get the Tomica BMW Z4...

 

[AOS-]

FRS ain't bad at all, would totally lower that stance. Aventador J could be better. OH5s kill it instantly, and the fact that the gap between the wing and the body isn't cut out is a bit disappointing even though it is understandable why. Would still buy, but I'd swap the wheels with PR5s in a heartbeat.

 

[a6m5]

That hachi-fr-brz thing's awesome. It absolutely sucks on paper, maybe except on dry weight, but I hear it's supposed to be a real deal driver's car. Good on Toyobaru to do something different, and do it right styling-wise, too.

Open your eyes, Cano. Maybe you'll find your lost........ I swear, this is the last time.

This was before I even knew what THs were. I paid no attention to what colour those stripes were!

Ah. Been there, except I didn't get any THs.

Got damn that is insane. How much?

$24. $7 less than my next incoming. This next one should be the last of high-profile car I buy for sometime. 787B was supposed to be that car, but only race car I like more than that came available & I couldn't pass it up.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Not with those rivets it ain't.

Because racecar.

I wouldn't mind a riced FRS actually.

Nobody uses that term anymore for anything other than Civics with cut springs, steelies and an Auto Zone rear wing. Well modified Japanese cars, like above, are definitely not 'rice'.

 

[a6m5]

Come on Jason, he's from Canada. They can't even build cars there.

Please know this is a joke.

 

[AOS-]

Interesting thought about why Canada doesn't have their own auto industry is because it is know for welcoming other nations and building a community through bringing other industries, businesses and culture together to collectively make a unique image of the nation's own industries. Forming our own auto industry would have the opposite impact. We're also not as patriotic as a result since we're so diverse already.

Also, cut springs are so Hot Rod-esque.

 

[MedigoFlame]

In technicality, that "FR-S" would be a GT-86 since it's right hand drive... Either that or someone who converted it. It's ok, but as others will say, the stripe and the wheels don't seem right. Why the yellow!? Would like to see pictures of the rear... As for the Aventador J, it looks good, although I'm guessing they couldn't have the rear view mirror due to safety concerns for children.

Anyways, stopped by after seeing Jason's post on the Walmart exclusive Ford pickup... That thing is beautiful... Obviously didn't find it, but went back to those three plastic bins. Brought my brother to help me...which didn't do much since he kept saying "You have this? You have this one? You get this one yet?' Always grabbing the 2013 cars, rather than the older stuff I asked him to look through... At least he knows his cars though.

Not a fan of the Bling series, but it has some cars that I like-ish. Like the G-wagen. >_>

 

[a6m5]

It's ok, but as others will say, the stripe and the wheels don't seem right. Why the yellow!?

On the bright side, it's only matter of time before they pull Polyphony Digital and come out with couple more different colors or stripes by this summer.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Come on Jason, he's from Canada. They can't even build cars there.

Please know this is a joke.

Maybe not, but they do modify them:

 

[Spacegoat]

There are pics of the new HW Scion FR-S and Lamborghini Aventador J on Lamley...

Scion looks great, definitely a must buy for me. 👍

*IMG*

God that is awesome. Damn you, Shinji.

 

[MCNAGTROC]

Has anyone seen the Fast & Furious lineup out in the wild yet in the US?

 

[CodeRedR51]

They are just hitting Walmarts, so keep an eye out.

 

[Cano]

Oh come on, this is just badass...

Roccket Bunny kit. I will concede thst the dead-on side profile of the car looks ok, I mean, sporty two-door coupe, formula used for 15 years now. It's when you look it from the front and rear that you want to gouge your eyes out. Also slow. I'll pass.

Not with those rivets it ain't.

Wrong. That's the coolest part of the car lol.

do it right styling-wise, too.

You aaaaalmost pulled a siggable, there.

 

[Camaro69427]

So today I went to Target with my Mother, not expecting to buy anything and came out with a Matchbox Gift pack. The funny part is that the only reason I bought it was because of the "Exclusive" 1969 Camaro Z28. GAWD am I a sucker for an old Camaro.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Also slow. I'll pass.

You don't need speed to have fun. It's not always about going fast in a straight line.

 

[Cano]

Oh I never said it wasn't a fun car, I'm sure it's actually an excelent car. I just said it's slow. And er, ew. You know, those headlamps. Ugh. The tail lamps are even worse. Heck I can't decide which looks worse.
