Looking on the back i really really really want a matchbox TVR Sagaris er... Whatever model tvr it is lol

[commodoreben]

[Cano]

[Cano]

[TheeFrogmanlego]

Hey does any one know why the Mazda furai was never a first edition?
Seems odd they would skip out on it?

You are out of your mind.

 

[commodoreben]

Cant remember exactly what it cost me but I think it was around $20 for both the car and truck

 

[a6m5]

I LOVE that Porsche. Another "supercar" from my childhood. 👍

 

[Cano]

Good price, both are in great shape and are hard to come by, specially the Porsche.

It was in some countries. We got it here as an "All Stars" release. I have one on a short card with the New Models or HW Premier series graphics.

Edit: Looks like this:

Holy crap, that transporter is so awesome.

 

[commodoreben]

Use a picture storage service like Photobucket, Imageshack, etc, it's way easier that way. I was able to see your pciture, man MAN you lucked out, the Miura and 505 are awesome!!!

 

[DEM14]

Thanks for the advice Cano - I thought I'd give it a go. Fingers crossed it will work...

 

[MedigoFlame]

Fixed. 👍 I think...?

 

[Madertus]

DEM, try using

 

[DEM14]

Last try for today...

 

[Sonygamer455]

You're wrong. Am65 is talking about the 914:

You are talking aboout the 917:

big-ass difference.

Oh my bad i got the names confused, haha

With a cruddy point&shoot 4.1MP camera. Not even lying.

You just need to put some lights on a clean backdrop. As for what I did in particular, one overhead lamp for ambient light, stacked LED flashlights in the back covered with tissue paper to diffuse the light partially, and another flashlight I held above.

Wow now thats awesome! You should post a thread or a video on how to do this! I wonder how my camera on my PS Vita will work.

Haven't bought miniature cars since I was 3. Went into the shop and bought 6, here are my favorites. I think they look great parked up next to each other.

I also bought a BMW 2002, Dodge Challenger Stock car and a El Camino.

[Cano]

disgusting, as is the norm with the halloween series.

 

[CodeRedR51]

It's Halloween, what do you expect?

I expect Orange and Black, but that's just me.

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, I don't like that either. Kind of reminds me of the Matchbox I got of the same car. Awesome car, ruined completely by the butcher of a paint job. I guess we can scratch this one as the holiday edition, but what a shame.

We have, like, same tastes! 👍

P.S. Are you guys having any issues with pictures, buttons, smilies not loading correctly on this site? It could be my computer, but this is the only site which those things doesn't always load correctly the first time. It usually load correctly after refreshing the browser couple of times...... I'm using Google Chrome.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Eh, it'll be popular with the collectors same as the first release. I'll be picking up one or two.
