Yo, @R1600Turbo , @AOS- , I received Jason's box stuffed with many stuff, including the Majorette glasses Andy sent over. Thank yew very much both, I'm already playing with them making silly noises with my mouth 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah the first one had 1 L.

The first one had two L's, then they corrected it.

Yeah- cool- tha's great and all but-


Shouldn't you be working right now?

 

[Ken]

Bought these today because Batman. They were also cheap and I can't afford anything but dirt cheap.

Again, I'm afraid if anyone's familiar with this manga/anime, it'd be just @Cano

Slow as they may be, do hope that it arrives soon. We need pictures man! 👍 Super Impala, Flatbed combo by the way. Damn.

Thanks JMan, I hope I see it soon, too. Maybe the label has one of those barcodes they have hard time scanning? No scan at the customs, no scan since it was scanned 3 days ago.

Take all my money!

You like the car much, much more than I do, but man, I am fully entertained(I probably watched it about 30 times).

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Found this custom at work today.

Was in a cart when I found it.

 

[Spacegoat]

You like the car much, much more than I do,

Don't get me wrong I like the car a lot but there is nostalgia value too, it brings back memories of GT3 (my first GT game). Those were the good old days.

 

[Avalonbug]

So, here is today's haul, along with a new background!

Here is the reason I was asking about that logo, but it isn't from the past 2-3 years so idk.

 

[Cano]

Again, I'm afraid if anyone's familiar with this manga/anime, it'd be just @Cano

I'm not familiar with it, but I've heard of it indeed. Dunno what the heck it's about, but at least it's not out of the blue for me.

 

[Spacegoat]

That Beetle is damn cool. Digging that shade of green on the Civic too. Excellent stuff @Avalonbug. 👍

 

[Avalonbug]

Yeah I like the Beetle too. No matter how hard I've looked I could never find one until now. As for the Civics I got them along with a Lotus Exige yesterday in the mail. The Lotus is still blistered, though. The 3rd Civic is currently being customized.

So this car is the error?


Oh and bonus Supra pic.

Yes.

Very cool Taurus, guys. 👍

Don't get me wrong I like the car a lot but there is nostalgia value too, it brings back memories of GT3 (my first GT game). Those were the good old days.

I've been into Gran Turismo, even before the first one had actually released. Game magazine(remember those? lol) was talking about 100+ cars available in this upcoming game(98 of them Skylines lol), and we were sold. GT3 was my favorite, if not co-favorite with the first Gran Turismo. It was also the last Gran Turismo I liked.

If TLV did a Gran Turismo special with the Viper GTS, Mitsu FTO, 98 Skylines(3 different body styles, just different colors), I'd have to sell my TV to get them all.

So, here is today's haul, along with a new background!

And it is AMAZING(background). 👍👍 Do you hear that? That's me kicking myself for passing on the MBX Civics. Never liked those things, never bought them. They actually look AMAZING(again). Next opportunity, I have to pick them up!

I'm not familiar with it, but I've heard of it indeed. Dunno what the heck it's about, but at least it's not out of the blue for me.

I read them as a young kid, but it was really intended for older teens & grown ups(I couldn't fully relate). You should check them out, I should, too.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'd have to sell my TV to get them all.

Yeah, you can stop with the TV jokes now.

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, you can stop with the TV jokes now.

I can see why you thought it was directed at you, but honestly, it wasn't. TV was the first thing that popped up in my head. Now Cano Drag Bus, I do mean Cano Drag Bus every frigging time.

 

[AOS-]

Goes to Walamrt to grab a can of flat clear paint for some stealth models. They didn't have any. While I was there I may as well check up on the HWs. Nothing new. Bah, may as well glance over the Matchbox pegs that never get shipment...

Sahara Survivor
2013 MBX Explorers. Huh. Who'd have thought a random 2013 would show up?

No matter how hard I've looked I could never find one until now.

Yeah, even though I probably spent more time playing GT4. I'd still rank GT3 as my favourite, if only for reason that it was my first GT game. Oh and that intro too.

You had me at Viper. Need I post that gif again? A TLV Viper? All of my money!!

 

[a6m5]

I think Lenny made the better intro.

I quit Gran Turismo about half way thru GT4. GT3 had great balance in game play. It was a "game", but with simulator elements & feel(at least to me). Enough about the game:

You had me at Viper. Need I post that gif again? A TLV Viper? All of my money!!

I couldn't find the pic similar to my black GTS, but this was probably my second favorite Viper:


That GIF's priceless.

 

[Spacegoat]

Love the regular GTS, but I'd go freakin nuts if they did a GTS-R. That would be so rad.

That GIF's priceless.

It's perfect.

 

[AOS-]

Love the regular GTS, but I'd go freakin nuts if they did a GTS-R. That would be so rad.

Maybe in 20 years when it becomes an actual vintage car.

Maybe it could show up from Kyosho, seeing as how they've already done the GTS and SRT-10/ACR.

 

[CodeRedR51]

So apparently this:

Is in the "Then and Now" series for 2015. So expect a similar deco on a 370Z to come out as well. It should look killer too. 👍

 

[AOS-]

Just got to recolour that interior, lower as well as change the wheels, and the car would look boss afterwards.

 

[Spacegoat]

Maybe in 20 years when it becomes an actual vintage car.

Your argument is flawed. And completely forgot that Kyosho have done a couple of Vipers in the past, thanks for pointing that out. Dare I dream?

 

[AOS-]

People getting hyped from Speed Machines. Googled a bit and found myself placing an order:

CHF is Swiss Franc. I really hope this is legit. They've still got them in stock, thankfully because they restricted buyers on how much they could order. I of course maxed out on it. If you're like me who's been dying to find these babies, PM me. My birthday treat.

edit: Nope they're sold out. Sorry, guys.

I guess the way to get around posting large photos is to put them in spoiler tags?

I actually forgot about the rule, and was too lazy to delete and reupload them, so I spoilered them, so you could open one, close it, and open the other if you wanted to look at them.

Here's the corrected Matchbox police Taurus.
