Man, some guys have gotten screwed over on their RLC Car Culture box set. They got another Mustang in place of the Datsun BRE. This is not good for my anxiety since mine is coming in April.

Damn Mattel what the hell man.

TLV Honda Civic Type-R post became the sequel to the Toyota Carina/Hino Transporter post.

Only thing that would have made that post better is if you had a certain Honda themed tranpsorter to go with the Civics.

Do like the white & red truck though. 👍

I just blogged the second car from the Joe Kanno custom order.

I'm not that interested in new TLVs anymore, but I'm not gonna lie, I want more customs by Joe. They really hit the spot for me.

My dream is to be the other guy who ended up with two BRE in his set. lol

Thanks guys, I hope y'all liked it. 👍

It's a TLV transporter trailer with five Civic Type-R's, all in white. Stuff like this just amuses me.

Really soon, Jarrot.

The Merc finally arrived at my home last Thursday...

As usual, expect a full post in a few weeks’ time 2100.

Been using Brickseek to try and find the latest Car Culture cars. (mainly for the Skyline wagon) Last friday on the way home from work I checked it to see if my store had any - zero. BUT, the store next to my work had 10. Go figure, but I wasn't going to backtrack so I ignored it. Then I had to go past the store near my work last night on my way to Phoenix, they now have zero and my store had 8. THEN, a store on my way through Phoenix said they had 17, so I stopped and there were zero on the pegs. Nobody around in toys to ask, so asked the lady in cosmetics if they could get someone over there. Waited 15 minutes and nobody came so I left.

One fail after another. Not to mention that last store had 3 of the 5 Auto World cars I bought off eBay the other day... (which arrived yesterday but were in the apartment office so I can't get them until tonight)

I was on ToyPeddler last night, found some goodies there. Surprisingly not much, but there's still stuff.

edit: don't go snipin' my schtuff!


Edit: If you guys remember that 20-car foamboard display shelf I made 5 years ago, I put it up on Facebook Marketplace (for $0) and I currently have over 20 people asking for its availability....

The wheel change on these Darts makes them so much better than before. These things are really nice.

Makes GreenLight detailing look like they were painted by bunch of drunks.

 

[domalorite]

Fixed

GreenLight detailing are painted by bunch of drunks.

 

[a6m5]

Priceless.

 

[Zychotic1]

you're just noticing that fact...
i don't have many greenlights but i've noticed none of the trim lines on any of mine are straight at all

 

[TheCracker]

I had that Testarossa poster when I was a kid.

Eh, depends on the car. Greenlight does have some very nice castings. They are just extremely hit or miss.

But then the steamroller tires drag the models down.

That too though I think some of their latest models are using a new, narrower tire.

I've been bashing them on this for probably couple of years, if not several years.

You probably had the Tiffany poster & Top Gun on the bedroom walls too, right Dan? Me neither, I'm just kidding bro.

I've noticed how detailing can be extremely clean on older, aged castings. Not always the case, but that's the trend I've observed in my GreenLight collection!

I cracked open the R34 Paul Walker and one of the headlight is loose.

That Chevelle and Shelby doesn't look like it came from Greenlight lol

Still got this tho.. can't resist.

 

[a6m5]

Don't judge me. I had to have the blue BRE.

Good quality cars. Shame how the sale was handled(I paid $100 for this set on eBay).

Sorry to hear it. Resin/plastic lamps are tricky for some of the brands. They seem to have trouble cutting them properly, and sometimes are crooked on cars I have.

A retirement present to yourself?

The gold watch equivalent.

I guess sort of. I still have so much pending preorders though, itlli be a while before I disappear.

The gold watch equivalent.

It's not that nice! Maybe more of nicer pen.

How much do you reckon I can sell my entire Bluebird collection for?
