Aaaaaand, my Nismo GT-R package says "processed at delivery Post Office" so I'm wondering if I'll get it today. :drool:

Edit: Just tracked it again, says it's at the post office under "retention". Just did a google search since I have no idea what that means, and I guess it means it's waiting for me to go pick it up. Why the hell they would do that instead of delivering it I have no idea. But since they close at 5 and I get off at 6, looks like GT-R goodness will have to wait until Saturday morning. :grumpy:

Took some pics of the car i received from Japan the other day.

Gotdamn those sculpted fenders are CLEAAAN.

Also, finally someone bought the Cappuccinos. I could've done it, but I didn't add to the dead-end collection if I could help it.

Oh dear if the Fronte wasn't bad enough, a cappuccino too? :drool: Awesome scores, curse you. 👍
 
@Nessy - I'd give you ten "likes" per post for the Konami & Aoshima if I could. 👍👍 Totally unique, and the beautiful TLV 911 project car is icing on the cake. Great couple of posts!
Order placed for:

This, this, this, this, this, this, this and this.

:p
All solid. 👍

Edit: Good and bad for me this afternoon.

Good - I got invoice for my AmiAmi order containing 11 items(8 Choro-Qs & 3 Tomicas). Shipping was $13.36 U.S. I think that may be cheaper than domestic shipping. AmiAmi shipping rocks. Japan Booster, well, TLVs they ship for free(over $50). 👍

Bad - Few days ago, I mentioned little problem with the TTP seller. I was repeat customer, he had misleading add which led to cancellation of one item, then he requested I pay for the re-listing fee, I wasn't impressed with that. I received the two cars today & one blister had some, and I'm sorry to gross you out, but certain type of bodily hair on it.

I just went thru hazmat cleaning to get all the hair off, cut the cars out of the packaging(literally 'rescuing' cars from cards), then stuffing everything else in the garbage bag. I was gonna block this seller after this transaction anyway, but that is 🤬 gross. :yuck:

I'd give him a mouthful so he learns to practice decent customer service.

People shouldn't be allowed to get away with lousy behaviour for free.
I hear you, but last thing I want is to go on a back & forth with some monkey. I almost feel sorry for people who's obviously a sore loser to start with, then the final conclusion, or solution is...... that. :crazy: He only proved something to himself, and if he's content with that, well, that's pretty tragic.

I'd write what I believe ought to be said to make this guy realize what kind of scum he is, then never respond back. Back & forth averted. :p What's this seller's name anyway?
 
Thanks. *prepares a padded envelope filled with unspeakable contents*

I'll be on my way, but let me leave you with something:

4x4%2BScrambulance%2B(2014%2BHeroic%2BRescue).jpg


2014 Matchbox 4x4 Scrambulance

Cute little truck. Little-boy "cool" appeal, but the proportions are cute nevertheless.

And if that wasn't cute for you, get a load of this:

Velocita%2B%28Tampo%2BMisprint%29_2.jpg


Found it in one of our dying Target stores. The tampo's all messed up! Haven't seen posted errors in a while.
 
I got invoice for my AmiAmi

Ah, I was just going to ask if you've got your invoice yet. I paid for my order this morning. Can't wait to get my hands on the Datsun truck. :D Also, the less said about that TTP seller the better. :sick:

@AOS- That Scrambulance's pretty well detailed for a mainline. I like it, too.

Give that seller some poo :mischievous:

By poo I obviously mean Price Of Oil.
Price of oil would ruin anyone's day these days. :p

You keep mentioning that Datsun truck. :irked: I'm so jealous!

As I was opening the box, I was kind of suspicious(I guess I'm pretty paranoid). I observed the contents closely as I pulled the items out of the box & boy was that smart. He made an ass of himself, I didn't touch nothing. I WIN. :p

Edit: SO glad both cars were carded. *sigh of relief*

Have I been? Apologies. :lol: Big thanks again for shooting me the link to the Tomica Landcruiser pre-order, really glad I was able to grab one in time. 👍
That Land Cruiser sure look sweet. Especially for a mainline!
Here they are!

Johnny Lightning Hummer(red is new, yellow is old)


Hot Wheels Racing Oldsmobile Aurora for future wheel-swap(don't know which's the new lol). I like these wheels so much, I bought a second set.


Earlier this week, I received red Miura & red Porsche 917K. Here they are matched up with the old Miura(yellow) & 917K(Gulf). @AOS- In this pic, you can see the better headlight treatment of the Gulf.




I think the yellow Miura is from the Jay Leno series.
 
Hot wheels club is here again will be going at 8:30 am. That's where I got the VW Drag truck. This time I'll look at more tables and see what they have. Hopefully I'll find some great stuff, hopefully a Drag bus this time.

Really does. Best looking Tomica mainline since the Suzuki Swift rally car, maybe?

Oh and my order has been shipped. :D

What brand are those Porsches and where did you get them?
 
@a6m5 Much more noice.
Painted headlamp inside clear plastic lens. Sort of rare method for Mattel, don't you think?
Oh and my order has been shipped. :D
Mine, too. 👍 I also had accidental order that arrived today containing one Choro-Q & one TLV(took 3 effing weeks). I'll share them on here later!

What brand are those Porsches and where did you get them?
They are both Hot Wheels. I got both on TTP(not one 917K on there now though). Red is from the Black Box/100% series, and the Gulf I believe is from a three car set. All three in the set are Porsches, and while I purchased them loose, I think I also have the 911 from the same set. You can probably find them on eBay.

That's real noice in that case.


OT: Australians, do you guys tend to pronounce "Nike" as "nihk"?
 
Choro-Q Transformers Prowl(280Z) + Tomica Limited Vintage LV-N71a Volkswagen Golf II CLi





Not sure what's going on with the passenger side(RH) side moulding. It's all black to naked eye, but you see white spots in the pics. :crazy:

That's real noice in that case.
Opposite to what they did with the red 917K. :crazy:
