I've never been able to find those in store in the UK, specifically the Carbonator. I suspect scalpers always get them.
 
Hey those wheels look pretty good. Are those brake discs or is that excess plastic?


That was just excess plastic. I saw it in just one wheel.
 
Don't ask me how, but either some hunter hid them in the secret cardboard box at the bottom of the shelves, or these are in reality not popular anymore:

Grabbed only the Porsche so now I can finally modify this bathtub.

Ah never mind those wheels don't look so good then. :lol: jk

Up for preorders at 829Japan. CircleK online Japan exclusive.

Officially, they are not a Kyosho brand. They are not 1/64 either! In fact, they are 1/60th! [/oopswrongthread]

They do however, arrive unassembled

just like a Kyosho.

I purchased the lot below for the Camaro (obviously). Got it and was surprised to find the Cabriolet was a Canadian / International release. And the Corgi Juniors Whizzwheels Batmobile is quite rare as well. Couldn't tell from the seller's picture, but it has a tow hook so it originally came in a pack with the bat boat. It's rough, but should sell to recoup my cost of $14 for everything.

The tiny choroq type Tonka pullbacks are interesting and the shadow jet is a color racer in great shape!

And can it still be there?
I hit a few stores so I will have to remember which one. But it was in Phoenix and I'm not going back up there until Friday night.
 
And that freaking Camaro keeps elluding me.

Im hoping this one is in better condition than the one I have. If not, back to ebay!

If you do have a chance to take a peek, please do so 👍

Every time I've seen it available it's in piss-poor condition. Or mint but expensive as all the heck.
 
That Batmobile & Bimmer cabriolet thing's cool. 👍 Also, @AOS- on the 1/60 thing. :lol:
 
All of those Tomica's! I spy a familiar corolla.
 
The oldskool Mitsubishi Lancer nestling in between the FJ Toyotas and the Blue Celica silhouette racer next to the Calsonic R33 = :drool:

Oh, and the Biff signed Delorean. :drool:
 
That CSL would make a good Rally car, but I'm sure there are about 25 others who would've had this planned already.
 
You BMW fanatics are going to have a ball with this one.

Mmmm, yes. Really glad Mattel decided not to spoil it with large rear wheels. Looking great. 👍

That's a shame. A HW collector at a tailgate party without a Carbonator . . . :crazy: . . . what next.

;)
 
So I guess Gran Turismo isn't the only game getting some Hot Wheels replicas.

Aw sweet I won't need to buy that big AutoART one now. :p

It's a shame that @a6m5 didn't wait before buying the big AA version of the GT. Think of all the money he would have saved! :dopey:
