I still have a spectraflame one by them... or was it the Supra? Doesn't matter, both castings were LARRRGE.

Yeah, I think it's common knowledge amongst hot wheel collectors.

Ah shiiiiiiii- welp you got me.

2016 Night Burnerz Mazda MX-5 Miata.

I think I liked the Miata more when you couldn't see that it was PR5 wheels.

I hate you. :P

(I have the black version of the M3 CSL though... but I want that MX5!)

(jk about the hating)
 
Love that Miata, too. I still have that on display on my cubicle.
It's not terrible for how long it's been out
If you say so. I didn't have the RX-7, but I know I have the 3000GT/GTO. Not amazing. 2011-ish MBX castings, super amazing.
 
The TLV in that comparison is defective, or at best poorly assembled. Center car in the pic--note how the body is tilted on the chassis. (If you can't see it, the exhaust pipes are a giveaway)

That's not actually the body, it's the exhaust which is a separate piece that's a bit crooked. Keen eye though, I hadn't even noticed it myself. The whole body seems crooked in that pic, but looking at the model itself I don't see it.
 
I took another picture and you guys are actually right, it is a bit crooked.
But it's not very easy to spot with the naked eye.
 
Ah, so that is why you stock up on every trip. Hope he doesn't find your emergency provisions in the glovebox and the top bedroom drawer.

Anyway, the thought came to me that I've got no more photos to share for a while, and that lead to me thinking just how much Kyosho has cut down on their releases this year. When you think about it, the production has sharply declined since 2015. Hot damn. Every future announcement will always be a big surprise from now on.

New castings cost a lot, I guess. :crazy:
 
Just listed three of my (new in pack) green machines, on eBay.
I really didn't wanna sell on eBay.
But everyone in local FB Diecast groups were absolutely rude, injoke, elitist pieces of 🤬.

Sigh.

I've been invited to join TLV group, then GreenLight, etc. on Facebook. Everybody's SO NICE. Fun, relaxed & encouraging. Then again, I haven't tried selling anything on there yet.
Trap5 wheels.
I had to google that, but I actually like those depending on situation.
What would be killer however is if they just went with black wheels.
Now, that looks damn good.
