Ah the Isuzu coupe. Such a great looking model. Excellent stuff. :tup:

I'm working on that one. Just like with the Nissan Service Bluebird. too many cars!

#3 Blue, #15 Blue, Unmarked Blue, #2 Green, #13 Green, #6 Red, #something Red, Unmarked Red. There's a LOT of them.

I knew that there was green & red. The End.

Everytime I browse the Choro Qs section I always say to myself they'd be great to have so I can turn them into pieces and reproduce their wheels/tires, then put them together again. Then I see the prices and I laugh at myself.

When I was a kid, I want to say that they were around $3. I think the base Choro Qs I have on the way(very slow in transit, this one), they were around $7, which sounds about right to me. The "Zero" series, sort of like TLVs of Choro Qs, I'll have to see for myself what is so special about them. I paid for couple, just last night(Honda City + Nissan President), but these "Zero" were $9. Newer I preordered were $11~$16.50 range, I think.

Try $16 a piece:

Well done, Ando. I am impress! 👍

apparently there was a sign put up in the hotwheels/car aisle that said "Beware of Collectors"
I had to chuckle at that.

👍 Love the AutoArt R35. Jealous on the 510 wagon, also the Kool Kombi others been finding. Unlike in the past though, I feel optimistic that I'll find them eventually. Honestly, I've been noticing the trend that either scalpers are learning that couple bucks profit is not worth screwing other collectors over, or that Mattel really is ramping up the production of more coveted castings to please the wider audience.

Clearly not working hard enough, must do better! Also just added this to the Town Ace wagon order in February, cheap enough at like $14. And I do love an old Datsun truck.

I have two cars from eBay, seven cars(not yet paid) from TTP, and two separate AmiAmi shipment(September + October) in transit as we speak!!!!!

I like the Datsun trucks little bit newer, like after the one I just saw at Target yesterday:

Same color, no hub caps. I must say though, one you are getting, that one is the only one I actually considered getting. Very attractive paint job + that bed cover thing. 👍

Okay, calm down. Jeez.

Yeah, that's what I like about it. In comparison the plain Red N/A type doesn't look half as good imo. That Datsun truck in your post too, very nice. 👍

Edit: Never noticed the picture of it on 829 Japan before. Maybe because I was distracted by the picture of the Australia Rally Toypoet Crown next to it. Actually on second look, the all Red version looks good too.

What is the deal with 829 Japan & Japan Booster both having Godzilla logo. Great monster, horrible films...... What does it all mean! j/k

Isn't Godzilla the national animal of Japan?

Skipped some VW busses from the Dead Rising series.

Target is the place for Datsun 510's. Lots of folks reporting 510 Super finds at Target. Jason, you should go back tonight and see what you can find.

I went back yesterday, pegs full, no Datsuns. Right now I'm dead broke, not going anywhere.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I saw none when I went to a Target tonight. I'm still looking for the blue basic kool kombi. That is getting hard to find.

 

[Cano]

Well it seems like my wife's father actually found me a couple Datsun wags. Will report back tomorrow with possible pictures.

God, these Scuderia 16Ms are so tempting to get. The demand isn't big and they look good... except the whole set is red, black and silver!

I need someone to list the got damn yellow one already.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Heads up: Walgreens stores are getting F case shippers that contain 55 Bel Air Gasser super TH's. Keep a look out.

Edit: and Homers

[RandomCarGuy17]

I decided to buy a few more diecasts at my local Walmart today. Yay, I finally have an e36 M3 in diecast form!

 

[Cano]

55 Bel Air Gasser super TH's.

I can has?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I can has?

No can find.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Store finally got a case cars but no combies.

 

[AOS-]

What's a case car?

Joke aside, this post will be promoting the Rev Rod. These pictures need to get on Google immediately.

2014 HW City - Tooned II

I really wished the front grills were punched out during production, because it looks really cool in the card illustration.


===============
79 cent Kyosho McLaren F1 GTR no one knows about. Works out to be $17 with shipping if you win it at opening bid.

Finally a mainline that even a AOS-Magic can't make me buy.

Skipped some VW busses from the Dead Rising series.

OK, either I'm crazy, or you are crazy. I think you are talking about the Grateful Dead. I finally saw one in Washington State, but it was crap casting(name of the casting escapes me...).

Yeah that was it. Those would've been my first vw busses but I'll wait for a better series with a bus like the loony tunes one.

I avoid all Loony Tunes, and would've loved to have found the Grateful Dead one.

I still don't have a VW Drag bus in my collection.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Went around to three Walmart's with only these three as a result.

 

[a6m5]

That wasn't the Drag Bus, dude. I'm pretty sure one you saw was the one on the left:

Or did you see the Drag Truck on the right? One I saw was this(like three of them )

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

All of them were there.

 

[a6m5]

I still haven't seen those new candybars cars either. There are two I really want in that series, also Texas Drive 'Em(yeah, right. scalper magnet).

To make you more mad I skipped all of them. Didn't really know what that series was.
