How's the quality on the Skyline ? Mine's a bit of a mess

I don’t open my M2s but it looks alright.

The license plate isn't tilted a bit?

Japanese M2s recently landed here as well. I found basically the full set but only bought the rally-esque 510 and the silver Hako. And with that one I really struggled. The engine is just laughable.
And the 240Z casting simply sucks. M2 really missed the mark with these.

Those are new. Check the licensing year on the back of the card.

M2 Japan don't exist in the real world! They are only available on the internet! Same with the newer Matchbox cars with real riders.

I posted a tweet by somebody I follow on my blog.

Guess which one's the M2.

Nice. You just need the 510 rally now. 👍

Totally forgot about that one.

Even with your hiatus from this thread. I'd guess that you're still responsible for close to half the posts in here.

You are the white Bill Laimbeer now. Cheap shot king!

The variation on the Skyline is quite cool though.

Which variation? That one on the Lamley, with like 1,000 times more detailing?

Gotta be a part of the 50k post page so here is a recent haul I got off some Facebook group. Yeah they're all basically project cars, but there is some really rare stuff in here, specially the Playart Barracuda and Husky Thames van. Been chasing those for a while.
Also, finally a Baja Bruiser in decent shape. now to find the rest of the color variations :/

I do like the Baja Bruiser. That fancy RLC version's my favorite. I just bought another one on their Black Friday sale. I'm usually a fan of Playart, but I'm not digging this Barracuda. Also, is that a Tercel wagon in there?

Can't remember if I saw that shot or a different one on Flickr. But yeah, the M2's engine is horrid.

You what!?

But Bill Laimbeer is already the white Bill Laimbeer!

Holy damn! I know M2 is far right but what are the other two?

This one, it's pointless since we can't open the hood but kinda cool i guess.

L20 & RB26

And the 240Z casting simply sucks. M2 really missed the mark with these.

Aww damn, i wanted to get the Z. Can you list the cons on the Z?

 

[a6m5]

I don't even bother opening the hood half the time, but yeah, it's pretty night & day.

You what!?

Matchbox sucks where I live. I'm pretty sure we are the very last to get the new Matchbox in the world.

But Bill Laimbeer is already the white Bill Laimbeer!

Holy damn! I know M2 is far right but what are the other two?

I think one was a brand called Taccar, other one's probably F-Toys(plastic, not diecast car). All cheapies.

L20 & RB26

*jaw hits floor*

Only decent place where am I that stocks MBX, is a store called Big W. Even then the real good stuff only appears after they re-stock the pegs. That was the only reason I was able find the 510 and Junior.

Both plates are straight.

TSM will enter the 1:64 segment now. Presenting Mini GT:
* Each model is produced in full diecast metal to deliver quality construction you can feel in the palm of your hand.
* We strive for strong level of detail - even the under-chassis is fully reproduced. No flat surfaces here.
* Each model features soft rubber tires with detailed wheel designs to complete the look.
* The side mirrors on the majority of our models will be crafted from rubber for maximum protection.
* To fully represent each model we will offer both LHD and RHD versions of the majority of models we create.

This looks like quite a line-up if all will be produced in 1:64 scale. Don't expect them to be cheap though. Potentially more than your regular Kyosho model.

Interesting. If these will cost me around 10 USD each, then that's fine by me.

Funny how that works out, because I bet we'll be paying around $30.

It'd be nice if they didn't hit that price in the second market, but $30 for a detailed casting with perforated wheels and thin plastic wings is still worth it.

Actually it would probably be best to then pre-order whenever possible.

Let's see how they handle small decals though.



If things work out, then it's bye-bye to HW Ford GT, Honda Civic, Corvette C7R, and possibly MBX Land Rover. Amongst the list of teased vehicles, the Zondas and Maseratis are going to be huge in the 1:64 market.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Here's more to go with that Mini GT stuff. Actual samples...

Not bad.

Trying to work out what that Porsche race car is. Doesn't look like a GT3-R? Whatever though.

And new Continental GT3. Oh man.

 

[domalorite]

Preorder prices here in HK are HKD75.00 (USD9.60)

Edit:

Liberty Walk R35! Keep it Zamac please!

75 HKD is what I normally spend on a Kyosho in Hung Hing...


...an old Kyosho, that is.


But with that said, that's actually affordable.

 

[GTboyz]

Huh, surprisingly affordable

 

[CodeRedR51]

These were posted on t-hunted the other day, in case anyone missed them:

Spoiler: HW Japan Historics Series 2

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Still haven’t found the black Porsche most of my stores are on race day, air cooled or euro style.

 

[AOS-]

bye-bye Honda Civic

Confirmed: GG Hot Wheels Honda Civic.

They all look like some street car. The white one looks like an Liberty Walk 997, lime looks like a GT4.

 

[CodeRedR51]

 

[a6m5]

Look @R1600Turbo

Took weeks, but I finally received my replacement Ghostbusters Diorama. It's the same frigging (wrong)set again.

I have a bad headache tonight, too. Just wonderful.

P.S. JL CRX looks great, but if I order it from the same seller, I'll probably receive AMC Gremlin or something. Twice.

 

[Cano]

Also, is that a Tercel wagon in there?

Oh yes. Majorette.

Ah, okay. Don't pay much attention to the street scene, I guess you call it. So I had no idea. Does looks good.

Sent you the wrong set, twice? That is freakin' ridiculous. Honestly if I was you I wouldn't even bother trying to deal with that seller again. Keep it, or flip it and get the Ghostbusters set from somewhere else.
