You suck for letting the cars get so dusty. :p

Oh yes, you can smell me all the way from Slovenia. I kick myself for it indeed. But I'm slowly getting there. Cleaning one right now that's even worse than the Paddy Wagon.

Not sure whether oral or verbal.

I really like that police car. Would trade half-a-dozen easy-to-source Tomicas for that.
I have more than 50 Police vehicles . . . but not one as old and as novel as that. *sigh.
When was that mold made?

Arghhh . . . I'm late again. Where is my sense of Time?

1969, as it says on the base. That one is an original "first edition".

You should try to grab one. It's one of the easiest and c heapest redlines to get ahold of.
 
Yes, EMS is the only way to go, as John sez.

I skipped EMS this time around because trying to get a package from the post office during the week is like 10 times more hassle for me (not open when I get off work) than getting it from my apartment office. (still open when I get home)
 
EMS costs a lot. SAL from Asia typically take 1-2 weeks for me... and I'm already accustomed to waiting 2 weeks from years of using USPS for Hot Wheels.
 
Man, tsunami of diecast cars. :indiff: Six packages today. Amiami, Plamoya & Japan Booster from Japan. Andy's cars from Canada. Awesome collectible Greenlight from TTP. Lastly, my trusty Die Cast Alley........ They finally screwed up this time. I'll post a pic after I'm done with the laundry.
And I rule again.
Great pics, too. Good job Cano. 👍
I blow each car before cleaning it up. Ergo, I suck and blow, lol.
There's something to brag about. :lol:
And here's the truck that was supposed to deliver Andy's items to the post office.
Looks like nap time. Under the sea.[/RichardStarkey]
 
Guys. I only have so much wood to knock on! It's a really big package too. Don't wish such misfortunate on a treasure chest. That'd be an utter waste!
 
I totally agree. I wonder which immature member started such silly game. Oh, sorry. :p

OK, couple of pics. First, the good:

Greenlight Car D'Lane Yenco Chevelle


Fantastic job. As far as I'm concerned, it's perfect. Rare & expensive($22-ish, shipped), but I had to have this one.

All good on the Greenlight Oldsmobile 442...... That Police Dodge Ram's supposed to be a Black Bandit. I've sent a email to the store, we'll see how they'll want to handle it. :crazy:

Edit: And rest for tonight:

Tomica Limited Vintage Neo LV-N44a Hino KB324 Flatbed Truck



Kyosho Bentley Turbo R


And the GT3

Great that your packages finally came in. Looking forward to seeing what you think of the TLV Datsun truck, even though you ordered the wrong one. And the Tomica Landcruiser, that one is neat too. The GL Chevelle, damn.

Edit: Screw you and your GT3!
Don't wish such misfortunate on a treasure chest.

Apologies Andy, didn't mean an offence by it. And yeah, feel free to blame a6. :D
 
even though you ordered the wrong one.
:lol: I am gonna be on that blue pickup truck you ordered. Yes, far superior to mine(maybe I should wait until I actually unpack mine lol).
The GL Chevelle, damn.
Damn damn damn straight, Jarrod. One of the sweetest Greenlight I've ever seen. White "Good Year" on the sidewall sold it. :bowdown:
Edit: Screw you and your GT3.
You paid way more than mine, so yours' more realistic. Congrats on that bragging right.

:p
GAnd yeah, feel free to blame a6. :D
Good thing Andy's gotta great sense of humor. As long as he's got that, I don't see the trend slowing down.
 
I hope it won't be a shock that I already started writing down names on my hit list.*

*By "hit" I meant a fat backhand. I wouldn't murder a single body.**


**Unless you are so fragile the backhand ends up snapping your neck.

Always raising the bar. Can't put a finger on it, but you are trying out some new approach with this Porsche here. :lol:

That Hino is incredible. Too bad I can't get one
Gotta love the Bentley, though.

Ah, there's the Shinji I know (not gonna say love because that would be extremely awkward, I'm sure), another one of his traditional "Screw the rules, I'm made of money" haul.

First of all, damm that dealer for giving you a not-Black Bandit, I do hope he gets his damm problem sorted and gives you the car you actually ordered.

Apart from that, there is not a single thing in there I would not love to steal from you. The Chevelle must be rare as hen's teeth, not to mention absolutely gorgeous. And it's a Yenko (not Yenco with a c, silly Shinji, get your facts straight :p), so it's a infinite win-win situation. "Curse you" strike number one.

The Hino is imense, both in size and quality. It must be quite the sight whenever you spot one of these "gigantic" TLV's, especially for your wallet. But hey, it's a great truck, even if I am not really a truck man, it's still a great purchase. Not to mention you can put another TLV on the flatbed and pretend you're hauling a car to be taken apart for parts. "Curse you" strike number two.

And then we have the Bentley's. The Turbo R in red is incredible (still would like to see a black one, to be honest), it ticks all the right boxes. And the Continental GT3?

'Nuff said, really. "Curse you" strike number three, and you're out. 10 out of 10, would steal all of that for myself. Which means, you did a great job. Great purchases. 👍

Oh hey, another rich man. And I guess you gave in and decided to flip a Minichamps around, just to show the base to the critics (aka @Cano). Congrats, you have a bigger set of nuts than me, I wouldn't do that to my Minichamps.

Ah, and great Porsche. It would be nice if you could flip it back around to see the rest, since "I'll Never Find It", right?
