We're getting a new casting of Hakosuka for RLC.
 
Hopefully I don't miss that one. Only recently have they started sending out emails about RLC releases. Not enough communication goes out for them.
 
Well got this Corgi V.W. Hot Rod last week, but haven't posted it until now.

The casting looks orange in the picture, but it's actually pink. I guess it's the lighting. Bought this one so I could customize it and as of the time I am posting this, it's already apart and the paint is being removed. I have some big plans for this thing and it's going to be epic!
 
Finally found the Modern Classics cars, but...of course it was missing the Subaru (and Civic, but not of my interest). Subaru's are nearly impossible to find here in Maine due to the fanbase.

Found all 4 except all the civics were gone.
 
So clean. I just wish the tires are a bit wider. These are too thin.

Edit :
My C8 just arrived and damn it feels like another company made the casting. Everything is so well detailed compared to the R32. The R32 looked a bit cheap in this comparison.

Got this in the mail today, sooner than expected too! :D It's a Corgi Massey Ferguson 3303 Tractor.

Bought this one so I could customize it. However, given that this tab is the only thing holding it together....

....I am not sure how I will reassemble it afterward.

I have to say though, it's a lot smaller than I expected, but I like it!
 
I didn't buy the R32 because of those humongous headlights. One casting I am disappointed at.
Yeah the headlights are a bit too big. It's almost Greenlight quality as opposed to the C8 Corvette which looks amazing.

The new Hakosuka from RLC. It looks a lot better than what we have now.

Technically a 1/24, but I’ve got a bit of an oddball here. It’s a 2004 or 2005 NASCAR Chevrolet Monte Carlo, that seems to have been made by Action Racing, but, along with the odd decal placement, it doesn’t seem to have been catalogued anywhere, leading me to believe that this might be either a bootleg, or a custom based on a blank car. Maybe someone here knows more about it?

I struck lucky by arriving at a local toy store with 5 minutes to spare before they closed. They had clearly just put out fresh HW mainline on their display stand.

I managed to get the red Syclone, Speedtail, Jesko, 914 Safari, SVT Lightning and the Caprice SS. Since new releases are usually hard to come by for a few weeks in this part of the UK, I consider myself pretty lucky.

I must watch this thread carefully. I missed the memo on the GMC Syclone earlier in the year. No black ones to be found. Got lucky & found some red ones & the Impala SS just a week ago. Now I just need to find those SVT Lightnings. But, I did score a good deal on Ebay for some black Syclones.
 
Got yet another thing in the mail yesterday! This time it's a Corgi Mobile Crane, paint is rough, but everything else is fine.

Going to be repainting this one too and it's going to be pretty neat once it's done! I already have it apart right now and in the process to customizing it.

Got one more Corgi coming in the mail, should be here sometime this week.
 
1/64 isn't my favourite scale for diecast cars, but I have some. Apart from a few dozens of Hot Wheels cars, I recently bought my first Johnny Lightning model, a 1969 Charger R/T on a local show of classic American cars. There was a real 1972 Charger nearby.

The other somewhat accurate 1/64 models are an old rally Lancer, a dusty Impreza 22B and a Fiat 500 with missing right mirror.

Here's my older photo of the 22B being clean. Unfortunately, it has damage on one of the right wheels.

I scored the Fast & Furious Lightning truck on Saturday at a local Walmart. That's why I like to find them instead of search for the best price on eBay. That feeling of finding the needle in the haystack.
 
Got my last Corgi in the mail Saturday. It’s a Corgi Juniors Wigwam Van Camper. Bought this so I can customize it, like the others.

Since taking these photos, I have already gotten started working on it.
 
The Tesco on my way to work didn't have a Divo, but I do have the new blue Vette. Surprised it didn't launch in red, though.

Big matchbox haul

Not sure if I should put you on my new best friend list or my mortal enemy list. After I started checking this thread again, I saw where Hot Wheels was showing what designs were part of their release schedule. May have to see if Matchbox has a website for that too. Wasn't expecting the C8 Corvette, the C10 with the opening hood, or the rally Raptor. As if I needed any more Raptor trucks in my collection. :lol: Also wasn't expecting the box models of the '90s Sliverado, the '75 Caprice, or the '54 Powell. I've never heard of the real Powell truck. Good finds.
