It's a "meh" from me. I'llprobably pass too unless there's nothing else or nothing better on the pegs.

If you would pass on it already, I'd stay passed and save your pocket money for something really cool. Take a page off Shinjude. :D
 
New cars for today. The Z50 I actually bought at a hobby shop for $3 since I haven't seen any of them at all on the pegs. Of course knowing my luck, I'll start to see them everywhere now. :lol:

Also, regarding the RX-3 I picked up that had the cracks in the blister - I've decided just to hang on to it or keep it until I can throw it in with something else of a greater value.

I probably should actually.
 
Thanks to heads up from Space Jarrod, this is what I committed to today:

That Fairlady's too good pass up. I've added that one to July order. Skyline, I already had the red one on preorder, but this Japanese Car Era one looks pretty neat. Super Silhouette, I've preferred the pop-up headlight style from the beginning, so it was a no-brainer. Corolla was tough. White looked decent, silver looked really cool, but I'm afraid it'll feature gigantic metal flakes in it again, so I passed for now. This Azuki red(or "brown" they say, whatevs) is a color I've wanted for while, so while I have no idea how this Corolla's different from the old release, I'll gladly go with this for the MSRP.

TLV pricing's getting little crazy though. Even with amiami's discounted price + cheap shipping, my December order of Super Silhouette + Japanese Car Era Skyline would total around $75(or more) shipped. FOR TWO 1/64 CARS!! :crazy: It seems more like secondary market price gouging to me. :crazy:

Also, at Walmart, I did pick up another Auto World(Firebird). It was on clearance for $4. @AOS- My Bugzees64 NSX preorder is still not in. :(
A couple new Greenlight GT-R's coming. I'll pass as I am not a fan of the tiny, poor fitting wheels. But some of you might be interested.
I HATE Greenlight Nissan GT-Rs. I can't really blame them since they target American audience, but for those of us that collect everything, it looks 1000% horrible compared to TLVs. Gulf & Japanese police liveries are couple of my favorite themes, but man..... I would have hard time getting myself to pay more than MSRP on these two. If I find them locally, I'd happily pay their overpriced price tag of $7, but online premium on top of that? :yuck: :crazy:

Speak Engrish dammit! :lol: If you are saying I buy better quality castings, then thank you. :lol:
:eek:👍 :drool: :(
Just had fun with the Prisma and Manga Kit apps:
Please teach me, sensei.

What would you do without me? :lol:

Haven't decided on what I'll order from the december batch just yet but the Corolla's and that Japanese car era Skyline really look good. Might end up going for both Delta's though? I don't know. :crazy:

Hahaha. My order last month for the Silhouette and basic Tomica Daihatsu was $80 shipped. :lol: It's ridiculous man. :(

Sweet black and white shot by the way. 👍
 
Just found this Dale Earnhardt Sr 2006 Monte Carlo International Motorsports Hall of Fame induction car while looking for 1:24 diorama pieces for a modeling project. It might be hard to read, but it lists his career achievements, such as his Daytona 500 win in 1998 and his 2001 Most Popular Driver Award win.

Well, finally got ahold of my Unicorn, the Greenlight "Under The Hood" Green 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge. Been chasing this thing around for awhile now. Missed the few I've seen on eBay, although I do see one there now :rolleyes:, I actually got this one off the internet from a place called hobbyDB. Arrived yesterday, only took 2 days to get here from WV. Seen one there about a month earlier but it wasn't for sale, oddly enough. Kept watching though and this one popped up. Got it for $20.00 with free shipping which is a few dollars less than the ones I lost out on, on eBay. Needless to say, this is now the pride and joy of my collection.



Also found this Mustang at my Walmart the other night.

 
Waiting for my AUTOart Veyron to sell on eBay so I can purchase some premium 64 scale. Definitely want the Greenlight Focus ST in tangerine scream.

Selling an Autoart Bugatti to get 1/64s. My man!

Primarily it's to get Horizon 3, but any surplus can go towards 1/64. 1/18s have become a millstone now I'm a married man, whereas these small scale cars fulfill my inherent collecting bug.
