Yes, Star Wars, Playmobil, and real cars. The guy is just nuts.

Holy hell. :lol:

I told you. It's Pittsburgh. Not Somalia.

I'm calling you out on that. I didn't see one terrible towel in that video.

That's because it's somewhere else.

Of course. I figured you had to have one. :lol:

No opening doors is great.

@Johnny1996 doesn't really live in Pittsburgh guys. I didn't hear any 9mm in the background.

I wish they also skipped the opening hood!

Technically you're actually right since I'm about 45 minutes east. But I still consider it my hometown. Its close enough after all.

Those photos are of the first prototype, I expect it to smooth out for production. But I do agree.

Edit: Racing Champions has me interested in this. Hopefully the car comes out looking OK.

I'm just kidding. Yeah, 45 minutes sounds like it's within the same metro area. 👍

It's personal taste, but I'd rather seem them price the car cheaper without the opening hood, or just add the detail elsewhere. 240Z/Fairlady's been done to death, so I hope that M2 version will be something special!

I haven't bought any Racing Champions since the rebirth, but if I could find these, they'll be the first. 👍

the engine model in that Z makes me wish they left the opening hood out of the equation... its FAR from accurate

A few weeks ago was held the Diecast Convention over here in Mexico City. Here is some of the loot.

First up these 100% Hot Wheels that thankfully had their rubber bands in decent shape so they could be remover without damaging the paint. Both great representations of Mopar drag racing legends. $5 each:

And a random Pop Culture Falcon that has already been stripped of its stupid paint. $2.50 bucks well spent.

More later on 👍

I'm really looking forward to this 'more' post.

a6m5 · Apr 28, 2017

100% stuff's amazing. 👍

Do you like yellow?

New arrivals from today.

Boya, I love yellow.

If by more you mean more photos of those Nendos over there, then yes I agree.

My work sprouted a dump bin with 3 HW for £3. They're normally £1.30 each so a modest saving. Managed to find 3 I'd been on the fence about. They weren't essential, but any kind of Hot Wheels in my workplace tend to tempt me.

Edited to add; another Panamera error has been spotted.

Cano · Apr 28, 2017

Moar from the convention, this time some old stuff. First up this well preserved Impy Ford Zephyr, in fire dept livery, that cost me all of $5.

That same stand yielded this very decent Husky Aston Martin, the steal of the day at... $2.

Another steal was this Japan-made Choro-Q Ferrari, again $2

More of this later on, uncluding Nendos.

Okay, out of all the things you've posted, that is my new favourite thing. Very cool. 👍

Dammit Cano... You're making me want to scout for old stuff at markets again...

Again? what do you mean again? kinda like... you... stopped doing it?

Who are you, dude? wtf is up with you.

I stopped collecting 1/64 awhile ago to focus on other hobbies. Now, I want to root through markets all over again to find those coverted rare cars.

Who am I? I know who I am. Who are you? Do you know who you are?

Hoping someone gets the reference!
