Scored a rare chrome 10SP white R35 GT-R off eBay for $15. Good deal I think.

I sold mine recently. I remembered it being the dark chrome, but before I wrapped it in tissue, it looked like regular 10SPs.

You posted it on here, didn't you?

Did you mean the R90C by any chance? Because I haven't uploaded pics of the R382C yet, you psychic.

Dark chrome is the common release. Photos in the listing were kind of iffy, so I messaged him to make sure. He said they were dark chrome, but he had two of them so checked the other and said it was normal chrome. Sending me that one. Got an orange Speed Machines on the way too. Think I just need the black one and I'm all caught up with that casting.

Maybe it was Daniel. He had one posted according to the thread search.

 

[AOS-]

It was indeed Danrail. AOS will post pics now that you accidentally knew I had a car I didn't share with the world.

​

Are you sure you're not a psychic? j/k

 

[a6m5]

I wish. How much did you pay for yours? Mine had "Best Offer" option, so I got it down to $15 shipped. Not a bargain, but fair. 👍

$9.99 Opening Bid. Nobody wanted one that day. Lucky me. Missed out on two Porsche 911 GT1 Beads just now though. Because of that, I decided to skip on a 2007 Super GT Fairlady Z in black. Oh well.


AliExpress continues to have theirs for $15.

I wasn't killing to have the car as I set a really low bid on it, but like I said, I got away with it that time.





===============

One of these are not the same..

One of these got sold!

Answer:

Spoiler

Tomica Limited. Sold for $17. Pretty sure I didn't buy it for that price.

The other two are Beads. A 2007-release 2006 Super GT TAKATA NSX, and a 2008-release 2007 Super GT TAKATA NSX. The yellowing is not normal. Other 2007 NSXs don't have that. Unsure what the cause it.

One primary way to tell the 2006 apart from the 2007 is the shape of the rear wing's ends, the shape of the rear diffuser and the 2007 models (not just NSX) being the ones with an antennae.

Tomica Nissan Fairlady Z NISMO:

Those wheels...

 

[yabiggoose]

Ah I see that's the baja-spec 370...

Tuned by the good guys of NISMO.

 

[yabiggoose]

If it was lowered, and better wheels (with a proper offset) it'd look alright.

Here comes the Huracan

Here comes the Huracan

Finally. Needs to be dark red though.

 

[AOS-]

That's what Spray Paint is for!

People are complaining about the overuse of that cranberry red. Won't you agree?


As per the casting. I will try real hard to judge it. It doesn't have the large rears like the Aventador and Veneno. I'm thankful they kept it normal with all the Gallardos and its descendants.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Or green, that would be better.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Or blue. Glad it's got same size wheels all around.

I've noticed that a lot of hot wheels Lambos have the same rims like the huracan.

 

[AOS-]

Because it's the closest they can get to the real wheel. MC5s won't do. Y5s definitely won't. OH5 was a terrible choice for the Aventador. You can see that the yellow and the blue release trump it entirely.

I personally don't mind J5s or 10SP as alternatives. My stealth Gallardo has 10SP on it. It presents a more showroom appeal than sport, but I can't show you that modified car, so let me instead show you something I fixed.

I checked local stores today, but didn't really see anything. I remember @yabiggoose being interested in Retro Entertainment Bronco. I didn't get it, because I have the same exact thing from Greenlight(and expectedly little nicer), but I thought this was pretty cool too. Nice detail upfront, probably worth the $5 they were asking for it.

 

[Johnny1996]

Oh man that MB Ford Coupe.

 

[AOS-]

Oohp. You got the different one than the one I've got.

Like certain brands; same casting, different packaging.

 

[yabiggoose]

I might have to ebay or TTP the Bronco.

 

[a6m5]

I know, right?

Did yours come in a brown paper bag or something?

You don't think you'll see those locally?

Hell no. Scalpers here, due to a much smaller population are rotten.

 

[a6m5]

While I'd be more than happy to pick one up for you, I don't think the truck's that nice. It may be worth $5, but with international shipping to Australia(USPS is air only), I'd give it two thumbs down.

 

[AOS-]

Very close! It came in a brown paper box.

Inside it was a smaller acrylic case than what you've got. Nice try.

Speaking of Retro Entertainment... found 3 of these, but only bought one.

If anyone wants one, I can go look for you. Cards were are creased in the same corner by a scumbag. Not really fond of this casting.

 

[a6m5]

Nice try.

bought one.

I passed on that thing every time. Hard.

 

[Spacegoat]

@a6m5. The 934 and that Dodge COE are great and all but you had me at Beetle. Curse you. 👍

I have a soft spot for them as well. I still..... STILL kick myself for opening this one, not realizing that it was the White Lightning(Chase) model:





I'd have sold it, it'd have paid the price I paid for it, plus the stock one with black tires I'd rather have(making the normal one a freebie!).

 

[yabiggoose]

Did it drive through a puddle of mustard lol
