So just for laughs... Obviously the Tomb Up in yellow is a total best seller. Yes that is an entire peg, other than one of freshly stocked hot wheels.. all Tomb Ups.. it's diggin it's own grave. :)

In other news!
More New things. Not new case, but new for me.

IMAG0346_zps712f9ccf.jpg~320x480


Matchbox Aston Martin DBS Volante. Nice car. One of very few convertibles I like. Casting is pretty good, but not my favorite. Looks too skinny to me.

IMAG0348_zps6b7a4efe.jpg~320x480


Studebaker Champ, and Ford Transit connect. I love the Stude, it's one of my all time favorites, but I only have 2. This and the old yellow. I think the yellow was Better. More details. For example. Check the tailgate.
IMAG0349_zps45c26f5f.jpg~320x480


The transit is one that to me is strange that people like so much. I like this version considerably better than the blue hot wheels racing version, but still don't understand the hype over it.

IMAG0351_zpsaba5d426.jpg~320x480


Srt viper GT, Corvette C.7R, M3 GTR
The upturned chins still drives me nuts, but its ok. I'm a sucker for race cars. The viper looks better in black, and the Corvette couldn't be any other color. The M3, so far, this is my favorite color, but the white looked great too.

IMAG0352_zps8a9bcbed.jpg~320x480


Masserata MXR. BMW M4. Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The MXR and M4 are both cars iv passed and I should have bought sooner. The M4 especially. I love old BMWs but this is gorgeous to me. Love the carbon effect on the roof too. You have to look at it to see it.

IMAG0353_zps6c7133c8.jpg~320x480


The Porsche I don't have much to say about. It's a Porsche so I had to get it. I love all of the 911s so far.
IMAG0354_zps8e6955aa.jpg~320x480

That Zamac though.

IMAG0355_zpsa21ccc59.jpg~320x480


Matchbox 93 Mustang police, and Skyjacker Bronco. The mustange is whatever to me. I grabbed it since I don't have a mustang of that gen. The bronco on the other hand I love. Now having both the hot wheels and matchbox Broncos, the matchbox is way way Better.

IMAG0358_zps20144e8a.jpg~320x480


I have a love hate with the panamera. It's so ugly. Not just the model, the real thing too. But it sounds so good. and it moves amazing for its size. I think I like the red better, but I haven't seen one in awhile.

IMAG0359_zpsf229adab.jpg~320x480


Bought both Estoque color, because why not. It's a decent car. About the most understated thing Lamborghini has made recently. But one problem. With my silver one.

IMAG0361_zps89d13572.jpg~320x480

What are those giant flipping holes in the hood! It came out of the package like that. The only thing I can figure is that maybe it got stapled somehow. Now though... It's probably gonna be stripped down and fixed, then painted some ridiculous color.
 
I'm currently torturing myself by going through eBay and jotting down cars I would like to purchase sometime in the future. Quite possibly the most distant future. :indiff:


Edit: I really wish eBay sellers would NOT use manufacture photos. Sometimes the car has changed and it's not representative of the actual product. People will buy the item expecting one thing and receiving another. I already got burned on a GT500 Greenlight because of this problem, and found another while looking at TLV stuff. The manufacture photo for the black Subaru Legacy RS shows it with gunmetal wheels and it in fact actually comes with silver wheels. Deal breaker for me.

That Challenger brings me all the way back to 2011/2012 mainlines. You guys getting the same vibes?

It does indeed. I hope it's a now and then set car. That would be killer. Speaking off that.

Got the now to my then 69 Camaro. Wish these were hardtops. But that's ok. Still nice.

Also this:

Spectacular!





Oh... And this.. my luck holds strong...

No, shut up, it's beautiful! I can't believe I was lucky enough to find it. Actually 2 of it, but I left one for some other lucky guy. No it's not the best color, but it's wonderful to have an all metal datsun 510. The slot wheels fit so well, and the tampos are great, a very sedate clean look. Now for the heritage series... :)
 
I randomly decided that I have to get a Bel Air of some sort one day. I have the James Bond Johnny Lightning one which is great, but I just needed to have another.
Of course you never just buy one thing, so it ended up being a whole box from 'murica which arrived today. All Greenlights which aren't sold here and one Hot Wheels from a series also not sold here.

Aforementioned Bel Air.

And honestly the rest were just random stuff I liked. I had a limit of 22€ since you have to pay import tax here if you receive a package over that value from outside the EU. :grumpy:

IMG_6557.jpg


IMG_6558.jpg


IMG_6562.jpg


IMG_6565.jpg



The Bel Air was the culprit of this whole ordeal, but I was very pleasantly surprised by this last car.

IMG_6563.jpg


IMG_6564.jpg


This thing is gorgeous and big. Take note Mattel, this is how you do Daytona properly. My favorite of the bunch. I believe it was also the most expensive.


This got me thinking how nice 50's american cars were, so I took a bit of a group photo.

Mmm, dat Daytona and Camaro convertible... Talk about a pair of good-looking cars, great purchases. Greenlight does do some really nice cars, I might buy one, one day. If I ever come across a good one, that is.

I'm really feeling that mustang, and I'm not even a big fan of mustangs. Also the Daytona is gorgeous. They make a super bird too?

I firmly belive that cars of the 30's and 50's have the most style of all car generations. And that collection would look just right parked in front of the local diner.
 
The wall, she has grown.





just realize there are barely any hotwheels, and the ones that are all modified.. save for the Scudderia, P4, hakosuka tokyo salon race car, and 89' porshe 911 turbo RSR. the rest consist mainly of tomica, johny lightning limited,Autoworld and Greenlight.

for my fav mainline HW castings i have another wall.

 
Curse you and your '59 Chevy Delivery $TH.

You mean my two Chevy Deliveries? It's not a $uper though. To date the only $uper I've found is the Plymouth Fury also in that pic.
 
It's not the $uper? Oh, lololol then.

I still say curse you, cause the Delivery is cool period, Sth or not. I want!

I must be on an exotics kick. 9 cars yesterday. All exotics. Well, an exotics 5 pack, and 4 other singles.

IMAG0383_1_zpse9b55c58.jpg~320x480


Lamborghini Aventador (green) and Reventon. The Aventador is awesome, I love it, but not the best in the pack. I usually like little Lamborghinis better, but the Aventador is the exception. The Reventon is nice, but the paint quality of the white on it is terrible. Weird little air bubble pockets on the sides and the underside of the overhangs and such are only speckled with paint. Ah well.

IMAG0385_1_zpsa3c6a24e.jpg~320x480


Aston Martin One -77 and V8 Vantage.
My usual rule for Aston's is no deco at all (except race cars) but these 2 I'll let slide. They both look good to me, especially the Vantage. Possibly my favorite of the pack. And possibly my only purple car.

IMAG0387_1_zpsb92915a7.jpg~320x480

IMAG0388_1_1_zps42f7012d.jpg~320x480


Porsche 918 Spider and 934 RSR Turbo.
918. Love it. Not much else to say. It's just sexy. The 934 i bought only so I could have all 3 colors. Looks good in blue, black is still my favorite. I noticed on the blue the spoiler lip is black, which it wasn't on the others.

IMAG0389_1_1_zpsdb6babb9.jpg~320x480


Acura NSX Concept, 2 versions.
I like them both, but for different reasons. The silver and blue color is exquisite, but the yellow shows the body details bettter. Great casting.

IMAG0391_1_zpsbbee3c3c.jpg~320x480


2014 Corvette Convertible.
This one is weird to me, if only because I love the hardtop, but am never usually a fan of convertibles. I have 5 in my entire collection. Occasionally I'll find amazing ones. Not always. This one however, is amazing.

These last 2 pictures were just me fooling around and I really liked how they came out.

IMAG0406_1_1_zps5fe2ffe9.jpg~320x480


Still cannot get over how pretty the Hurican is...
 
Those Bentley's are sweet @RCKakashi14 👍

I wish manufacturers would put as much effort into 1:43 these days as they seem to be doing with 1:64. It's like the most focused on scales seem to be dropping with every year from 1:18 downward over the last 2 decades!
