Haven't they done a 911 TLV in a few colours including Japanese police?

I forgot all about the police 911 they did!

God knows what ridiculous price that thing goes for online.

Kyosho F40, TLV Porsche 911 & I'll be a happy camper.

TLV 510 wagon too, please.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Yawn.

Release the F40 again. Lol.

The release date of that latest Kyosho Ferrari set is on December, perfect timing since I'll be in Hong Kong on post-Christmas.

Not a mention of how many dupes there are in there?

3x 458 and the 488 is close enough to a 458.

Poos.

I need to get that for my father

D-case highlights:

They're bringing back more Tooned cars? Hmm..

Also, I look forward to seeing more of this "Factory Fresh" series.

 

[a6m5]

Falken Toyota. There's the $TH I wish I found instead.

I also like the Focus & the "Z".

Edit: Japanese M2.

Opposite of approach TLV takes(sell casting nobody does), but typical of most brands. Easy money retreads. Like Michael Bay flicks.

I have the blue one. One in the pic has wrong card on it(Mustang).

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

No new cars yet at stores just the Star Wars planet basic series. Haven't found more Truck series either just a lot of euro style and left over Toyotas from Japan historics. Still haven't seen the RX3 from that set.

 

[yabiggoose]

I've not seen any JapHis here in Aus.
Seen either nothing at all or tags where they were on the shelf.

I reckon scalpers for diecast are worse here than even Brazil or Malaysia.

 

[VXR]

I'm feeling the Koni Focus and Falken Toyota.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Still no Datsuns. Story of my life.

Not going to lie, the last place I bought the Trucks series, I bought all four of the Datsuns. BUT, in my defense, I might be buying a 620. I'm done buying them now, not that, that will help you at all.

If Mattel is reading this, they need to pack more popular castings in these cases to slow down the scalping & hoarding. It's money they are losing, too. Many of these cars would sell in the $4 range, lot more than they do at double that price w/shipping online. Plus, more they are sold locally, more immediate profit in Mattel's pocket. Not to mention it'll keep the collector base happy & engaged. Same thing I've been preaching for couple years now. I think they get similar feedbacks, because it's not as bad as they used to be, at least in my area. Bigger problem is local stores that insists on ordering garbage peg warmers.

 

[yabiggoose]

Problem is doubly bad when mainstream diecast blogs hype stuff up and support scalpers.

 

[Mike458]

All I'm getting at my stores are just Futurismos and other crap that I don't need (about 2 weeks ago I last checked)

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Well, I went to check out a game shop at another town and stopped at a Walgreens along the way.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Discovered a lonely Forza set at Toys R Us. Picked it up for the Ford GT, Alfa and Lambo. Anyone want the XB or the Camaro?

 

[AOS-]

Got lucky again. Found a new bin... and somehow I got lucky they opened up another box of BMW series.

Goodbye eBay watchlist!

 

[a6m5]

TLV Audi 80

Finally pulled the trigger on amiami backorder, and due to some kind of glitch on their site, I couldn't combine shipping on this particular car.

Goodbye eBay watchlist!

Satisfying to avoid paying premium + shipping.

 

[Apok]

I decided to showcase these Sikus on my blog, which happens to coincide with @a6m5s Audi blog update.
Unintended German theme!

If I recall correctly I snagged these for about 1€ each and they've become a bit of a highlight to me since then!

 

[a6m5]

One with the multi-spoke wheels is really nice. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Anyone know the release date on the TLV '17 GT-R? Amiami doesn't have them up for pre-order yet.

Let me check Twitter... Well, March preorders were already up, and it's not amongst them. I would guess between next spring to summer? If anything like their new buses, I'm sure it will retail for around $1,500.

 

[Spacegoat]

I'm sure it will retail for around $1,500.

Annnnd you'll still order one.

Waiting on the new Tomica Premium's to come up for pre-order myself. I needs that 300zx.

 

[a6m5]

I tweeted a reply regarding that bus & how I thought the pricing was ridiculous. $70, after discount, before shipping. No thank you!

I was actually referring to the GT-R but yes, you need a bus too!

300zx is the priority but the NSX would be a nice bonus. You know how fast those premium pre-orders sell out though.

Just saying. In general. Pricing on Super Silhouette Silvia surprised me. Pricing on the new buses scared me. They are charging the "HIGH" secondary market pricing straight out of factory. I'm actually starting to see the end of my hobby collecting TLVs.

Yeah, but both the Skyline & Stratos came back. Last I checked(few days ago), they were still in stock. I like my chances, though pricing tend to go up a bit on amiami on restocked inventory.

 

[AOS-]

Suh weet.

Someone actually paid me for the Autoart Z8s!

I wonder if I can get some moolah back if I sold my Seibu Keisatsu Nissans!

 

[RCKakashi14]

So the acquaintance of mine who used to consign Kyoshos now opens up his very own store:
