Fixed.

 

[Johnny1996]

Fixed.

Thanks Cano.

I always get that and the Hakosuka confused. Always.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

These are bins at my grocery store full of m case cars though.

All 6 Halloween cars

At the same store I got the vw I also got a loop coupe TH.

And at the same target where I got the blazer yesterday I got the daredevil bronco

Nissan Skyline R32 too expensive to collect? I got a better price for you.

Super rare 2012 Road Racers? I've got 4 carded.
R35s? Got 4.
NSX? Got 11.
FXX? Got 6. Even the VHTF Speed Machines.

Want a GTP Membership Discount? Will do!

Is there a link to his CM's? Tried searching but every time I clicked on items for sale on his profile, it comes back with no results found. I'd just be interested to see what he has and how the prices compare.

If you've found a link to his profile, then you're halfway there. Thing with eBay international is to use their regional site than your own. Take whatever URL you have, and (presuming you're using eBay AU) change the ".com.au" to ".co.uk" to get to eBay UK. In doing so, you get access to listings that aren't shared on any other eBay regions. I learned this little trick when I was able to watch an item, but be unable to see what other items that US seller had when I was on eBay.ca another day.

Can I convince you to separate some cars? Perty please? And I'll send payment right away for them + my other stuff.

Edit: Never mind, someone bid on it while I was looking at the listing.

@AOS- If it wasn't for the crazy shipping, I may have, but man, international postage's just too much for me. What sucks is AmiAmi can ship like ten cars for $10(maybe even less) from Japan, but from Canada, it may cost that much for like 3 cars.

AmiAmi stuff finally arrived today:

Hakosuka-Trueno-Countach Choro-Q


Some TLVs


Couple of Dream Tomicas


The. End.

All 6 Halloween cars

I was wondering which "Halloween" cars you were referring to. They are OLD! Wolfman bus is super nice though. Love that thing.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

That was my first VW bus too @a6m5 .

 

[Johnny1996]

I remember going to a grocery store a few months ago just looking for potato chips and other snacks for an upcoming NASCAR race later in the day. I decided to look at the HWs, not expecting to find anything. They had nothing except for one Matchbox car and about 20 Halloween cars. I ended up getting all six of the set, and spending $30 more than I wanted to and expected to.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Just went back to that store and bought the CM'S Lancia Stratos HF 1977 Monte Carlo before any other mortal could have their hands on it.

 

[a6m5]

I spent a few bucks..... All on Wolfman van. I probably bought four of those(1 to Ben, 2 for me, 1 ended up on eBay).

Stratos are sweet. I have one(CM's, not sure which race), I like it a lot.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I like the Dracula hot rod too.

Maybe I'm just so used to paying $10 for shipping I don't see $10 as being expensive. $15+ is my threshold. Or maybe I'm just not as spoiled on how cheap you guys have everything at. j/k ***

Thanks anyway, guys. You can show your support by driving up bids. If you win, just let me know and I'll do something about it.


=========
Using the new info on the RS200s, it really did turn out I had both variations of the white RS200. Here they are again in better view.

First Release - 1986 Made in Macau. Blue tampo is lighter.

1987 Made in China. Blue tampo is darker.


While I'm at it, I may as well show off the other one I found.

2006 Fanta Promo - Made in China. Possibly a China Exclusive.

***That's funny now that I think about it. Even with that said, when American tourists come to my dollar store, they make it distinct they have a love for this store like they don't have such a privilege back home.




edit edit edit: wait wait wait. Shinji, did you notice the "I will reimburse you on shipping if overcharged bit?" Just wondering if that's immediately noticeable at all.

I honestly would charge less but I never get a buyer who buys more than one item.

 

[CodeRedR51]

All I wanted was a couple R32's that I'm missing. It tricked me because the multiple listing view said no bids, but when you clicked on it there was 1 bid.

Oh well. I did manage to win one of those R35 speed machine listings.

 

[Spacegoat]

The. End.

Cool stuff a6, going to need pictures of the Dream Tomica Fiat, eventually. Thanks.

You know looking at your post I was like, I remember having a couple of White RS200s back in the day but I'm pretty sure that they are both exactly the same. A bit of digging and some minutes later and low and behold. One darker tampo, one lighter. Thanks for posting your two again, never ever would have known otherwise. 👍

[Cano]

Thanks Cano.

I always get that and the Hakosuka confused. Always.

It's easy: Hakosuka = the one with trunk. Kenmeri = the fastback-ish one.

 

[AOS-]

I remember the two this way:

Hakosuka has the aggressive face, fenders, intercooler and almost symmetrical profile shape.

Kenmeri has the long rectangular tunnel vision face and the short tail.

 

[RCKakashi14]

"Hako" means box in Japanese, because the Hakosuka has a boxy shape.

Kenmeri? Simple, it's a fastback, and it's the first Skyline to adopt the iconic circular tail lights.

 

[Dagger311]

How do you open an m2 acryllic case? I don't wanna break it, but I want the car out for pictures. I have it out of the cardboard, but the case seems to be stuck to the stand...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Pry back gently on the clear tab that pops into the black base while you pull up on the cover.

 

[Dagger311]

There are no tabs. There's slits in the base, but nothing's in them.

 

[CodeRedR51]

That doesn't make sense. You sure?

Also: Arriving now. Those interested keep an eye on your Walmart/Target stores.

Those that think it's a waste of money are obviously not Star Wars fans and should just shoosh.

Check out my Suzuki GSX-R/4 Hot Wheels!

If there's a way to put it in, there's a way to take it out. 👍

Wow 3 simultaneous posts.

Please resize that photo or attach as a thumbnail. My work computer/internet is fast, and it choked loading that.

Done!

 

[Dagger311]

There were no tabs in the holes, but I pried it back and let the base hit the ground, came off good enough.

"Mystery" Models TR6.



"Mystery" Models 66 Nova.


Road Trippin' 69 Charger.


@Slash approves of this next purchase.


And... @Dagger311 approves of this one! Actually, he approves all of them, otherwise he wouldn't have bought them.



Notes:
That Blue Charger is sexy.
The 57 Chevy is sexy.
The Cobra Jet has a smudge on the stripe and a tiny spot of wrong paint, but is still highly detailed and amazing.
The TR6 is kinda ugly from that angle.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

More cars.
Riddler

Then went to five below and got a 2011? Christmas Buick riveria

And at the hobby shop got a escort, mach 1, and ram power wagon.

CM'S 1:64 Lancia Stratos HF 1977 (Monte Carlo)

Note: I removed the mud flaps, as they distract the sexy lines of the car.
