When it comes to hats, I prefer the black one you have as your avatar picture. Red hats are like red shoulders, they're dangerous landmines...

It's navy!

I'm on my lunchbreak walk right now. And the red hat was Donald Trump joke. His "Make America Great Again" hat is red, I think Jarrod has one.

I think Jarrod has one.

Boxes of them, actually. They make excellent kindling for the wood heater in the winter.

My first ever HW purchase! Its so beautiful. The most beautiful box ever.

Edit: I forgot I saw this on the way home(Toys R Us). Surprisingly neat quality. I'd have bought it if it was Dale's:

I'm going to have to look for one online.

I've never bought the entire case. What's it like? I've bought case of basketball cards before & I couldn't stop smiling as I opened each pack.

I just wish they made few more Skylines.... Listen. You can hear @yabiggoose barfing down under.....

Seriously though, I thought I was looking at the Tomica Premium version. Is this really a dollar casting?

I'd have bought it if it was Dale's:

I keep forgetting all about Dale's RV. The normal version looks nice. 👍

So did I. For a brief second, I really thought it was the Tomica premium with HW wheelswap.

It was clean, Jarrod. I was impressed.

Same here.

Beautiful

Did you get anything good? *massages hands together*

That City, they nailed it.

 

[ScottPuss20]

This set is amazing. Totally worth the money:

Yes, the kid in the video is me.

R30 with an R31 greenhouse

 

[yabiggoose]

@a6m5 I'm really digging the R30 and Honda City tbh lol. The more obscure JDM cars I have nothing against.

It's the typical R32-35 GTR/MKIV Supra/FD RX-7 I'm sick of everyone doing lol

For a second I thought you mean it's from the Navy and not navy-colored, haha.

And I know the red hat was a Trump reference, that's why I said I prefer to steer clear from them... Since they're a living meme and whatnot.

But keeping the topic where it matters, it's a shame the two Nissans I posted aren't 1/64s, because they would be good companions to the Century casting. Maybe a future 1/64 idea...

 

[GroupB]

Here's the much-maligned-earlier-in-the-thread Autech R33. Looks pretty good to me.
One thing I do have to mention though--it's a b i g car. Almost made me wonder if Tomica was slipping on their strict scale when I first opened the box.

I get you. R35 situation is out of hand!

Ah, okay. I have one set on the way from Jason(R1600turbo) myself. 👍

Lot of those Nissans looks the same to me. They do look nice though, at least in the larger scale.

It's caught my interest again after reading your post. I ordered one so I can see for myself!

Is that your inner Century fan speaking...?

I kid, I kid. But they do look elegant, if anything. I just don't get why aren't they part of TLV's 1/64 lineup when there are so many examples of sedans in that range...

That's probably why, because they already have so many similar vehicles in the lineup!

Well it's not as bad as the R35 situation if you ask me... But yes, I guess there are plenty of Nissans already. But Tomica keeps making more (remember the Gazelle TLV?), so maybe they're in a love affair with the brand...?

I've definitely noticed it. I want to see more old Toyotas.

Ignore the wheels again on this one.

And...

But it looks perfect...

I have to agree, for once the wrong wheels actually look right. Just change the color of the rim lip and you'd have a good car/wheel combo...

 

[a6m5]

Found the Race Day car at my Walmart. Literally one car. I didn't check for one day & it's one car left on the peg.

Love the orange accent.

I bought some more coffee promo cars:

I bought them as loose models. The RUF THR here looks obviously played "RUF-ly" by the previous owner. It surely had a RUF time. *ba dum tss*

Bad puns end here.




And the Countach 25th Anniversary:

Of course, the obligatory Lamborghini photo:

 

[yabiggoose]

Moovellous Lambo. The RUF looks awesome.

What shipping service do you usually use from AmiAmi?
