Noooo Routemaster!!!!

Why does everyone find one but me?

 

[Cano]

Don't worry, we don't even get the 60th anniversary series in here.

Altough, I must say, I think I have all of the mainline Routemasters with the exception of the gold one. I even found the blue one which, if I recall correctly, was incredibly difficult to find back then, at least in here.

 

[Spacegoat]

That's the other one you had. I thought you had one more rare TL, but couldn't remember!

Yep.

Also I paid $21 for my Lancer. Looks like I got it at the right time.

Thanks! Also I was thinking...since you do like your Skylines. You should totally get this if...you had the money.

Three of them... the white one is an F40 LM.

Hey, is that black R390 still in the store? And if so, how much?

It's still there, and it costs 800 pesos (19 USD).

Last question, when I went there last month I think, there was a Gulf McLaren, is it still there?

Oh, you're a Filipino too? Mabuhay!

Unfortunately, it was bought already.

 

[iceprincexxx]

Oh, you're from the Philippines too?


Unfortunately, it was bought already.

Yup, I am. And thanks for answering, I might just have to settle for that black R390.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Yup, I am. And thanks for answering, I might just have to settle for that black R390.

The black R390 is located in a different store, just below the store where you saw that Gulf McLaren.

Robin's Hobby Shop (or it seems)

Oh alright, thanks.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Spot the error.

 

[AOS-]

OH5 in the front.

ding ding ding

I am the winner.

Reference to original:

 

[Cano]

hard one to spot on the pegs, they look about the same from a quick glance.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah pretty easy to spot. Best part: I got TWO of them.

 

[AOS-]

Trade you my tampoless M3 for it? For the win-win?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hmmm, maybe.

 

[a6m5]

I don't get it. Are the spokes skinnier or something?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Thinner and they actually have holes between the spokes.

 

[a6m5]

Ah, my bad. I see it now. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah for me: OH5 > MC5

 

[a6m5]

I'm looking at the regular one right now(bought another one to open yesterday), I don't care too much. OH5 is cooler, as spokes aren't imitated, but are actual spokes.

 

[AOS-]

I know why they made OH5 spokes so thin, but I'd like them more if the spokes weren't.

This.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I like them because they actually have holes between the spokes, they're not solid. Totally prefer them over MC5. In fact, probably my favorite plastic wheel they use at the moment.

 

[AOS-]

It's possible for them to invest in a new mold to update contemporary wheels that will sport openings. PR5s is a good one (excluding the slivers in between the spokes (in parallel) themselves). MC5 is another.

Another trick they could also do if they don't want to invest in making holes is to make the dead space recess inward even more so they become even less noticeable.

Finally made a trip and there wasn't the same old stock on the pegs.

Sorry for the rotation... ...and the quality, though dorm lighting and a cell phone camera means it's not completely my fault.

 

[a6m5]

Looking at Andy's pic of the 240, and can't help but be annoyed by the larger rear wheels. Otherwise, car is awesome.

I could never be a hardcore Hot Wheels fan.

Edit: Are you trying to break my neck DP!? How in the hell did you score KITT? Amazing!

Yes. And I have no idea. Guess it makes up for me never finding the normal 99-cent KITT last year. I do have both kinds of A-Team van now though.
