I think I can save you a lot of money if I sell you a bulk of my collection.
lol depends on what you have. And a lot of my purchases are at a flea market I often go to, usually the booth owner just throws in random stuff when I buy more expensive stuff from him, lol
Anyway more additions:




 
Looks like there's a third wave of Tomicas coming to U.S./Canada Walmart. I will say I'm concerned as the second wave has been sitting on the pegs around here for a while, so I hope the third wave will show up. So far I've only seen this GT-R police car in the NA packaging.

T-Hunted posted up some pics saying these would be part of the third wave. But I'm not sure how true they are with no packaging photos. Also had some of the 2nd wave mixed in. I really think they need to bring the new Supra casting here to at least get some sales with the current (yet, probably dying) hype.

I considered it but the colour schemes didn't do much for me. Good looking model though. 👍 Still waiting on the white Civic I ordered last month. Got it combined with a Greenlight set that's been delayed. Hopefully I'll get it soon, maybe... :lol:
I wasn't concerned about the colour, I just wanted a highly detailed model of an SUV:lol: The car sticks out like a sore thumb in my collection as the only thing that compares is my HW Baja Breaker, which is just a lifted van with stupidly large tyres. That's what attracted me to the Pajero.

Uh, which Civic are you talking about? The EF?

Of course I've based what I stated on what you're picking up, so I have a rough idea of what you fancy. I'll reach out to you eventually as I'm working through narrowing down the collection to bits and pieces of sentimental things that won't be of much value to others.

also found the third wave bought the truck this time since it’s realistic. I’m still seeing some first wave cars and second wave at some stores too. Had to check this site to see if I was missing any. https://us.tomy.com/tomica
 
Today brought an XE Project 8 into my collection and I added the Nightburnerz 5 pack whilst it was on offer for £5 (Tesco stores for our UK members).
 
Still no Chiron but did find this

haven’t found a super since the blue Porsche.

Who needs a Chrion when you found that :drool:

I'd sell it meow if you want to make good coin on it. I waited too long to sell my Aventador Miura and lost out $40.

So the other day I found this eBay listing: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/123834731507

A UK seller puts up keychain cars of assorted brands for sell, and some have indeed sold. Although I can't see myself being a customer, it did get me thinking that I may be able to do something like this as a way to make a bit of cash on the side while selling off more cars, you know... the ones that aren't so high in demand.

I'm revisiting the collection and and looking to doing another round of cuts, and this time it will include passing off cars I saved for projects I no longer want to pursue. Looking forward to seeing how big this lot will turn out to be.
 
I spotted some of the Tomicas in walmart for the first time yesterday but didn't pick any sadly.

Most of my collection is now in storage since I have now moved into a house that doesn't have much room and i'm now only going to be picking a few every once in a while.
 
haven’t ran out of room.

I know many will say that. I did at one point!

All I'm saying is to keep your eye on trending prices as at times people do win in-demand items with low bid counts during times people are less willing to spend money. For example, after Christmas wouldn't be the best time to sell.

I also have a few big plastic tubs I haven’t filled yet either. My bookshelf I have is full and I have a big tv stand that has a lot of loose cars on them.
 
Spent a day last week driving nearly 2 hours to another diecast collectible store in New Hampshire. Picked up a couple things, but also found the third wave of North American release Tomicas.

Still wishing I could find Matchbox of the (as The Lamley Group calls it) "Golden Era" of the late 2000s. Only found the Civic Type R at that store, but didn't grab it.
 
@everyone_, I've got a lot of cars I will be selling very soon (567 to be exact). Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Kyosho, CM's, Minichamps (I think), loose and carded. I've already decided on what I'm letting go, it's now just the time spent putting it together that will be time-consuming.

Would you guys prefer a series of photos, or a text list (year, model, series)?

I'm seeing a lot of mainline grabs and I just thinking to myself "I wish I got this out to you guys sooner so I can offload them to you guys in bulk".
 

No worries. The one pictured in your post is probably a 1/43 version, as Spark hasn’t made the 1/64 version ready for pictures yet. Expect the 1/64 version to be a lot more watered down in terms of details due to limited space to work on. So you’re still getting the best 1/64 787B if you bought the TLV (although for a huge price). ;)
