I guess you gave in and decided to flip a Minichamps around, just to show the base.

That is precisely it. Couldn't take it anymore. Here's the rest of the quota:

My... my reality has been shattered to pieces. How?

Also, they must have some really good glue material on my Minichamps, they're barely visible to the naked eye. Or maybe I just need to change my glasses... And the specs, they look as if a child wrote them! But I thought Minichamps was a brand of quality...

Why?

You win post of the day for that one, AOS.

[Gotbeefboy564]

Turns out I do have a grey wheeled Matchbox

 

[Cano]

And a very very early release at that, it's one of those castings that, iirc, was never released with black wheels. Where did you get that?

Argh... Right where it hurts the most. One of the best Siku castings and an Apollo!? Curse you, Ebay!

2014 Hot Wheels Mystery Models
Aston Martin DBS! zomg!

Yes I still have Hot Wheels. A connection hooked me up with this from the land of Spand ("Spain").

I felt an Australian release 934 may have been too much to handle so I decided to cool down for a bit...

Just kidding. This gumwad had the foil pack already open so I don't know why he'd still send me this.

"But Andy, I just gave you a free error!" Yeah, doesn't something sound a bit weird there?

I just saw the seller's other items, and damn the prices are good! So are the cars...

 

[AOS-]

The CM's are average. Ketty-shop always marks the prices a little higher to cover their shipping expenses. I've bought those things from many different sellers at many different prices.

The deal is good if you're buying only one item, but that's because you're basically paying for shipping for each item. You're losing out if you get more than one.

Bet you are. 👍

The GT-R's and the Crowns.

 

[a6m5]

No, why do you ask?

Land down under. Of course!

Damn you...

You have the best access to Kyoshos of anyone in this community, I'm sure you'll have one in your collection before too long. It is nice!

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

Yeah, Hino, I wasn't really looking for, but it went on sale for about $40(shipped), so I decided to add it to my TLV collection. I'm not the biggest Kyosho fan in this thread, but I think they did a great job with the GT3. 👍

Ah, there's the Shinji I know (not gonna say love because that would be extremely awkward, I'm sure)

We'll all be awkward together, that's OK.

another one of his traditional "Screw the rules, I'm made of money" haul.

You are right. Exactly why my other hobby is totally neglected(my rifle needs accessories! I want another handgun!).

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.

Diecastalley.com has not responded to my message. I'm not all that impressed with it, but I'm willing to give them until next week.

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 ), so it's a infinite win-win situation. "Curse you" strike number one.

My bad. I didn't see it, but I can see myself "failing" on that 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.

I'm not a "huge" fan of the truck, but it was on sale for $40-ish, so I decided that it was worth an addition to the collection. I am a big fan of Hino tanker trucks & ladder truck fire engine though.

Flatbed thing is a good idea, but @jtl46 already featured that in his Lamley Blog.

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. 👍

Thanks Kinnikuman! I totally agree on the black Turbo R. That would be a must buy for sure. 👍

HAPPY NOW?

Looooove youuuuuuuu!

Only you can make them look like effing Kyosho. You should get a job with anyone who makes/sells dollar cars.

I've bought couple of CM's from them before. Excellent cars, speedy service & affordable prices. 👍

To quote my mother, "I'm thrilled!"

But, but, but..... where's the Hardtop Crown!!!!

Ok, instead of going through the hassle of quoting each separate bit, I'll just do everything in one fell swoop. Ahem...

As for the first one, ok, I guess? Not sure if I want to be a part of the awkward boat...

You have a gun hobby? Truly a man of many interesting areas, but guns are dangerous. It's safer to collect model cars, if you ask me.

The RAM case is a tricky one, I do hope that both parties (you and Diecastalley) can get it sorted out. No one likes a random mistake when it happens.

The Yenko mistake is the only true mistake you made, since everything else was spot-on, so I'll let that one slide. But pay attention the next time you get yourself a Yenko car, don't forget the "k"...

Guess you aren't a huge truck fan (or at least a Hino truck fan), but you still felt compelled to buy it. TLVs sure have a strong allure, don't they? And Lamley already did the flatbed thing... He's truly a TLV mastermind! What a genius...

Wait, Kinnikuman? Well, I am a bit goofy, but I think I'm more of a Meat kind of guy, because I'm the dude with the glasses that is too serious and knows a whole lot. Oh, and glad to hear that you also agree with the idea of a black Turbo R, imagine this being rendered in Kyosho form:

Yes, please, all of my money.

Aaand I think that's it. Oh, wait!

@jtl46? You should also get your hands on the Snake Motors Crown. I know that they almost flew away from Japan Booster's shelves as soon as they arrived there, but please try to get at least one for us to see...

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

A case of E case cars showed up hopefully I might get a super.

 

[Spacegoat]

Land down under. Of course!

Yes, just like the song!

but I think they did a great job with the GT3. 👍

Hoping that my GT3 will arrive sometime next week...

Thanks, buddy. What a specific job title I can't respect: Dollar Car Photography....

Wait- Son, you callin' me cheap?! I've got a plastic table with your name on it. Don't make me assemble and assimilate!

Thank you. Awkwardness continues.....

Hoping that my GT3 will arrive sometime next week...

It is coming at you as fast as it can...... at 1/64 speed.

I like Dollar Car Marketing. Yes, the president of DCM.

Bro, mine is in the country.... sitting still.... for like a week now...

And my god-who-knows-where treasure chest is still not on land.

:[ Life never gives me lemons.

edit: Looked up news on the west coast ports (why I didn't think of doing this sooner?!).

Recently, there was a chemical fire and a train derailment that would've caused delays at the port. I hope that is the reason why my ish is being delayed. At least I know it's in a crate that's either still on a giant vessel, or at a port and not sleeping with the fishes.

So funny thing about the Snake Motors Crown. Akiyo at Japan Booster thought that buyers wouldn't be interested, but I told him I thought they would. I even used some quotes from a couple of you here to convince him. He saw the quotes, ordered a couple, and they sold out. Got an email from him today saying he is sending me one. He is convinced now...

 

[AOS-]

Can he send me one too? I'm a returning customer!

 

[a6m5]

If anybody'll be interested, my hot wheels sale is still going on(now 60% off hw & mbx, 10% off others). It is domestic sale only(no international). For my friends, shipping will be the actual postage.

It'll end up at the bottom of the Pacific again anyway..... then chemical fire & finally the train wreck.

 

[AOS-]

Hah. Nice Try.

When Japan Booster sends me my orders, it travels north east, wraps around the arctic and uses the south-traveling stratospheric currents to come back down to Ontario. Nice try, oni-san.
