I dont normally get silly cars like this but it was a TH so grabbed it

 

[AOS-]

That's all for now. I'm sure no one is interested in seeing a clearer picture of the rare upside-down Superbee.

 

[Cano]

lalalalaaaaa

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

[MedigoFlame]

Tomica Nissan R31 Skyline GTS-X:

 

[Cano]

That's really good Kakashi, and a car I don't recall seing before. New Casting?

 

[RCKakashi14]

The R31 Skyline casting is even older than me, I think. In fact, that casting is actually the Group A version. Then plenty of variations came after, even the road-going versions use the same casting.


That red one is the latest, found in the Skyline 50th Anniversary set.

 

[Cano]

Go to hell! Is it really that old? With the separate head ant tail-lamps?

I can't believe it has scaped my radar for so long. Time to chase down one of those, yours is pretty awesome :0

Here are just some of the notable examples you should look out for:

Mmmhhh I'll try to get the red one. Tomica's racing liverys have always been horrible and bland, their tampos are so messy. 'sides, the car is clearly a street car, so the livery feels out of place on most of those. The one you bought, though, is pretty spot on.

 

[a6m5]

That gunmetal gray one in the trio shot's money, too. Also that Kyosho Alfa thing's so money, especially the last shot with the Hot Wheels. 👍

 

[AOS-]

Gunmetal Gray is for winners.

 

[Cano]

Lol, I can't see the gunmetal car pic, blocked here at work. I'll check it out at home.

As for the Carabo pic with the redline, I should have deployed the Hot Wheel's doors.

 

[AOS-]

You can always quote that post, steal the img url and rehost it on imgur.

 

[Cano]

Yeah, I can just type "https" in the pic url to see it. But, you know, I'm lazy.

thanks for rehosting though (: the thing indeed looks mean in gunmetal.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

So are those Tomicas like Hot Wheels or are they plastic?

 

[RCKakashi14]

Tomicas are diecast too. I prefer them over HW, but the wheels are the greatest drawback...

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Are Hot Wheels F cases in stores now in the US?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yes in Walmart dump bins as we speak. Then the KMart collectors day will be F case as well, but with KMart exclusive recolors.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

My wall mart is getting remodeled hopefully they'll have some on the pegs. The k mart I went to sucked all I bought from there was a Matchbox VW karman giha.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Collectors day isn't until this coming Saturday, so I wouldn't expect them to peg anything new before then.

 

[Cano]

So can we start asking around? (:

Wait till Friday. And it depends on how much spare cash I have, which isn't much.

If cash's a problem I'll Paypal you some. I only really want them Datsuns, lol.

Well, what other cars were getting exclusive repaints? I frankly don't remember, and can't see Lamley in here.

Thanks. Datsun and M3. Altough I understand they're not easy to get even in the K-Day, right?

Depends on how many in each box and how many boxes there are. Usually at ours we get a ticket at the beginning and they call out ticket numbers for each box. Last time everyone got one box, then afterwords the leftovers get dumped onto tables and it's a free for all.

 

[Cano]

I see. But I assume that, at free-for-all-time, all the exlcusives are taken, right?

Not usually. I think at this one the only cars people will care about are the '55 Gasser $uper and the stupid Homer car.
