[Cano]

I was hoping you install yours first & you could teach me, so I won't @#%# mine up like yours.

Haha, cool.

 

[a6m5]

Get a room you two. Lol.

I have no comeback for this. Too risky.

@a6m5 @Spacegoat And there's another color variation of the DIY CR-X coming in October

Already looking forward to it.

Haha, cool.

That Jarrod is a reasonable space goat.

Auto World Release 5 preview. This Galaxie is MONEY.

 

[a6m5]

Tight. 👍

This Galaxie is MONEY.

You'd be correct. I hope it's black/red, not black/black, but yeah, nice. 👍

The black/black is the first pre-production sample before they made changes. The black/red should be final.

Edit:

Looks like another "meh" at best 510, following the Cool Classics & Heritage thing, at least to me. Card looks decent though.

One of my very first blog post was this casting. This release look a ton better though. I'll be on a lookout for this one.

No, I got nothing for that either. 👍

@a6m5 @Spacegoat And there's another color variation of the DIY CR-X coming in October

Let me guess, it's the blue/silver one isn't it? I've got that one on preorder.

Occasionally.

Damn that is epic. Super-want.

Boy oh boy do I want a rubber tyred Porsche 935...

 

[yabiggoose]

So damn sick of the 510. Lol.

Why not bring back the 300zx casting?

 

[AOS-]

Coolbeans, another premium set!

Just have to see what that 964 will look like.

L case cars at my Walmart. Didn't find the Chevy van and found two Beatles cars the kombi and mini.
I did find the odyssey.

With such a detailed front mask, it's practically begging to have the details painted.
And perhaps Yellow LEDs?

kombi

Unreal. My Walmart had tons of everything except the Kool Kombi.

I had to hit the same Walmart little bit ago, I passed it before, but I did pick up one "Bump Around".

I passed on the bump around and fish and chipped. I just wanted the mini and kombi. The kombis were at the bottom of the bin.

That's the one. Black spoiler this time. Just like the black spoilers that came pre-installed on all the earlier releases. Pretty soon TLVs will just be kits

Oh man, that thing is so cool.

Oh man, that thing is so cool.

It seems cool, but it will never be as cool as this cop car:

Negative camber stanced cruiser. Mint condition too!

1- it's a horrible chinese ripoff of Matchbox 's casting. The body is perfect, but you should see the interior

In fact you can see it! Why? Because the orange one in the pics is actually a replacement for the one I had in my childhood, which I absolutely trashed and want to restore. Here it is.

Problem is, back when I was a little brat I tried to repaint it without popping it open so I kiiiiinda masked it up and let my rattle can rip... with the outcome you could expect.

After destroying it the car sat, complete with masking still in he windows, for the better part of 20 years. When I discovered this custom thingie I dug it out and realized that the glass was toast due to the masking tape. Then I proceeded to destroy it even more trying to get the paint off the plastic grille by submerging it in acetone... but it stayed there for too long of a time and simply disolved

So, the car has sat idle with no windows and no grille shell for years, waiting until I found another one, be it a Matchbox original or another fake one, and of course all beat up because I'm not gonna destroy a good car to try to replicate the grille shell and glass for this thing.

But what would you know, the wait is over (:

I think we finally have this thread's ugliest car of all-time. Congrats, Cano.

Thanks. You'll eat your words when I'm done with it tho... maybe in like 5 years or so

 

[Nessy]

That's awesome! @Cano

It's a shame about the loss of the clear windows on the Chinese copy, but the original Matchbox model certainly makes up for it.

[edit]

Really diggin the open front windows on the Chinese version. May have to delete mine to get a better view of the interior.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Edit: Never mind.

Indeed. I'm turning that one into a full on track car with a donated interior off a NASCAR car. I might gove it a full window net. The Matchbox will become a rally car.

 

[a6m5]

New Desert Island post. Really cool guy from Lima, Peru. SO JEALOUS of some of the cars he has.

I also dealt with my Tomica Limited Vintage CR-X rear spoiler.

Nice.
I'm trying to give Tomytec a pass on this whole installation thing by saying maybe the spoiler was optional IRL. Past TLV's were Si's, whereas this latest one is a lower grade.

I thought the same thing, except:

1. Little instruction is given on the matter. Also, if the spoiler being optional is true to the real life vehicle, then I think it should've been clarified.
2. Those runners. Way they are provided, it requires (plastic)modeling skills to just detach & prepare the spoiler for installation.
3. Still annoyed about those Supra chin spoilers. lol

I'm sure lot of collectors couldn't care less, but it's just my stance on the matter. I don't care for it!
