You probably don't know this about me, but I'm pretty whiny.![]()
For a noobzter around here, you sure take your chances from the startand with @a6m5 no less.
N.A. IDx will be worth it, I promise.
Also dude you get an invoice for the your amiami stuff yet? I got mine for the Delta and IDx last night. Good thing they give you a week to pay, I won't be able too until later this week. Remind me not to order any more cars at this time of year again.![]()
Disclaimer: I am not for saleThere's a whole bunch of Legacys on Auction Yahoo Japan if you wanna go there.

@Niku Driver HC - Yeah, I'd love to see Feng. I'd keep an eye on the scale model thread. 👍
You sure are noble and not arrogant at all, saying that.Still, I'm the politest, easiest going member in here, also the best looking Asian member from the Northwest,
old & over40 & over.
A couple from my Japan Booster order:
Tomica Limited Vintage LV-N24a & LV-N24b Hino TC343 Ladder Truck Fire Engine(bottom 5th Anniv. is the new one)
My first shipping damage from Japan Booster(it's supposed to be attached to the right side of the ladder). Worst model this could happen to, but really, it's the largest & has most small parts, so it was also the most susceptible to shipping damage.
TLV LV-100a Nissan Caball Coca Cola Route Car

TLV's arrived

People sell 1:18 golden Aventadors for millions, when a real one is like a third of a million. Money generally means a lack of taste and sense...Is this guy out of his mind?!?!View attachment 272752

Anybody know if these motorized boosters are able to push the cars thru two consecutive loops? I bought the second loop with the manual launcher(I think they use rubberband), but it doesn't have quite enough power to go two in a row.![]()
For my son...
You bet. 👍If you can, I'll post a few of them there (probably the Miura as well, just in case), so pass by and give a look.
No, but I want this award! I deserve it, damn it!You sure are noble and not arrogant at all, saying that.Is there an award\certificate for that?

Well, the good news is, I contacted Japan Booster on eBay, and they have offered me an exchange at no cost to me. I got such a great deal on the fire engine, I told them that regardless of the outcome, I didn't even feel the need to involve eBay(they are that good). This seller is a A+, through & through. 👍Yeah, shame that had to happen with your fire engine, but you've said yourself; these models are some of the largest TLV, both in size and number of breakable parts. You still got lucky, since no other part was broken. I'd say that's a sign of the quality of Tomica Limited Vintage cars. (in case you can't tell, I really have began to like these cars)
Also, thatCokeCoca-Cola truck is lovely, are you going to add the boxes of bottles that come with it? It kinda looks empty without them, but nevertheless it is a good-looking truck.
And you also have the Coca-Cola Bluebird on hold!? Damm you, that is one of my dream diecasts after I heard of TLV's in the first place.I personally think it is one of the best looking Silhouette cars in the TLV range, alongside the Tomica-sponsored Skyline...

That champagne Carina.TLV's arrived![]()
Well...... While I'd never pay that, it is two of what they call in sports cards "Masterpiece". They are one-offs. I'm in no way qualified or knowledgeable enough to estimate the price, but I can see them being valued at hundreds for just one of those. With one-offs, buyer determines the value(personally, I'd give him $40 lol).Is this guy out of his mind?!?!View attachment 272752
Yeah, Japan Booster offered me exchange, as he had one more on hand. I told him that, or partial refund of any amount, I'd be grateful either way. It was a Black Friday deal, so even if I had to glue the thing back together, I'd still do it all over again.Oh, no doubt at all about that, I'm sure it will be. Digging that Caball Coke truck, adorable. 👍 And sucks about the damage to the fire truck but hey at least it's only something minor that was damaged.
You bet. 👍

Bluebird Silhouette is on backorder, meaning that I hope the shop can source it, but the results can be a hit & miss(my success rate's probably 80%-ish). If they fail to deliver the car, I can always ask Japan Booster. Also, thank you for the compliments on the Coke truck! I love its vintage style.I have another Coke truck, and it took me months, if not over a year to crack open those cock bottle crates, so you may be waiting for awhile.

I think Cano might bring down his censoring hammer on you for using the c-word.cock bottle
MY TRUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCK
Good thing I stopped collecting these. See new rare wheel variation....breathe in....breathe out....move on.
I can't believe I misspelled it the way I did. I edited it before Cano come unglued.
Yes, Japan Booster is a highly recommended shop. We usually ask people to use that Lamley Group link, as Lamley is a big endorser & promoter of their store on eBay. Lastly, yes, those coke bottles are super tiny. 1/64 scale coke bottles.
P.S. I'm looking forward to the scale model posts. 👍
Whoa....People sell 1:18 golden Aventadors for millions, when a real one is like a third of a million.
And a lot of greed.Money generally means a lack of taste and sense...

@AOS- @Niku Driver HC - I'm not a fan of the Fairlady, but I do have a soft spot for that one, because it's from the tv cop show that ran when I was a kid growing up in Japan. I do have one of the Skylines from the show(it's called Seibu Keisatsu), and it is amazing. Price is also amazing(I think I paid around $34). Your post earns a "like" for mentioning Golgo 13. That's just too cool.
Edit: Here's my post on the Seibu Keisatsu Skyline, @Niku Driver HC
Nice! I see a Cedric amongst that set, but I can't quite tell what the others are. Could you clarify me on the names?
Also, all but one car have wing mirrors. Classic JDM right there. 👍
Just bought $35 worth of Greenlight and M2 at Toys R Us.![]()

They do feature extra detailing, but yeah, if you are not familiar with the show, it's hard to justify $30+ for those cars IMO.Ah, so it's nostalgia value, not so much on the side of being a Fairlady, but on the side of being a "Seibu Keisatsu" Fairlady. Fair enough, nostalgia is always a solid reason to buy stuff. Kinda forgot your Japanese roots, those help with the statement of watching the show as a kid. The Super Machines are amazing, but the hole they can create in your wallet is equally amazing. Such is the problem with the "Seibu Keisatsu" series; the cars are great looking, but their value also makes them harder to get...![]()
Absolutely priceless. Probably his most common line.Eh, you know you got to use your references wisely. As Duke Togo once said: "......" (actual quote)![]()
Couldn't agree with you more.Quality seller right there to offer you a straight up exchange. 👍 Really impressed with their service when I bought the Nurburgring 86 a few weeks ago, definitely going to get some more stuff from them in the future.
I'm also going to quote Duke Togo here: "............."Sorry, I can't answer your question but if you ever do get that to work, I'd like to request pictures of your Silhouette's attempting this. Thanks.![]()
I once dropped $40 on basics, plus another $20 on Premiums and other higher end 1:64s, so I ended up getting $60 worth of cars. And that was all in one store. Your $35 is pretty much nothing, if any of this helps.Just bought $35 worth of Greenlight and M2 at Toys R Us.![]()
