You collectors remember the MiniGT Zero Fighter GTR I paid for in full literally a year ago? It’s ready for pickup this weekend! Woohoo!

Peaks, a high-end resin company is debuting it's 1:64

Every scale manufacturer is getting in on 1/64.

I’m actually looking forward to getting the GTR. TSM have really come good. Good mechanical casting, rolling wheels, all metal, full pad printing, at a reasonable price.
 
Decent haul today, my wallet is hurting
Found the Forza set at Meijer also the Greenlight green R34

I found the Silva at a different store than the other four.

Then found the drag strip demons set at a Walmart

No new basics besides the 2002 Matchbox.
 
Their models are RIDICULOUSLY expensive; I don't expect the 1:64's to come cheap.

It'd be a disservice to the company's rep if they were going to produce $10 products when another expensive make like Ignition's target price is $30.
 
Looking at March/April for the first Auto World truck releases.

I wasn't suggesting that they should:lol:
 
You guys probably remember me as the guy who buys a lot of NASCAR and other racing stuff so heres one of my latest purchases. I found these at a train show last month and wanted them so bad I could've paid five times the price and not had a problem with it. :lol:

Jac Haudenschild Elden Racing sprint car and matching hauler both made by the original Racing Champions brand.

Walked into Walmart today and found this guy hanging with a bunch of peg warmers from the same set. Lucky me. The diecast section at my store is pretty bare. Not sure how they expect to sell anything for the holidays when they have nothing to sell.

You lads inspired me. Picked up a GT M4 today, price was right, seems like a kinda garbage model (especially as I generally work with scale modeling as opposed to diecast) but I'm having some fun messing around with it. I can post some final product pictures once I'm done with it, assuming it turns out competently.
 
I thought I'd post something actually Hot Wheels and share my Tooned collection. I love these cars because of their exaggerated features, especially the huge engines. They remind me of Ed Roth's artwork such as Rat Fink, which I really enjoy.

Hey festival party goers, remember this casting from Tarmac? Brings back memories, and they still haven’t improved the build quality since then.

I am starting to pack up my collection now. Donating cars I don’t want. Had to go searching through the mess for my first purchases of this casting. I think they have shot up in value amirite? @a6m5

They did, but they came crashing down. I think they'll still move for $75-ish each, but that's just my guess. I checked my listing just now, they are listed at around $100, but it's not moving.
 
I picked these two up last night at Walmart. I absolutely love the 787B and it's my new favorite recent Hot Wheels casting. I also got some supplies for my diorama and started building it after I got home.

AmiAmi preorder sorted for the FD RZ model. That's a bit of a relief.

Fingers crossed they do that a6m5-special Fighter Zero livery.

TSM Mini GT.
That's a brilliant cast.
 
Brad Doty Bowers Coal sprint car. At one point he lived in my area and was a weekly competitor at the local track. This was one of the cars Doty drove during that time so I had to get this car despite its inaccuracies (wing, chassis and body style compared to the real car.

Didn’t know there is a ver.1 version until about two weeks ago.

Those look so good, unlike this guy:

The lack of definition on the top edge of the lamps gave me the impression of a face without eyebrows.

*shrugs* I think I will be fully closing my doors on Hot Wheels/Matchbox now.
