He's going to hate me for posting that pic.

Drove to TRU after work hoping to at least...know when the next shipment would come in. Luckily, they already restocked! Although...weirdly I want the brown regular 300C.

Ask John.

Purple car is a GT40 of sorts.

Ah right thanks, I see it now 👍

And is e-mail ok or does John prefer a phone call?

That's not the new one, is it? AmiAmi didn't have a pic of it, but that looks just like the first one from last summer.

Well if you ever want it, just let me know. I owe you a bunch anyway.

I will & no, you don't.

On a side note, this casting looks like it's getting a bit tired, not exactly perfect anymore.

I recently sold the red one with FTE(copper) wheels? I regretted selling it as soon as I sold it.

@jtl46

Didn't realize man had style.

Although...weirdly I want the brown regular 300C.

I've seen both(holding the SRT for Ben). Although the stock one has good looking rims, I'd say the SRT looks much cooler!

 

[CodeRedR51]

These beauties were waiting for me when I got home.

 

[Johnny1996]

That's four variations, possibly.

1. Chrome-lipped wheels with roll cage
2. Chrome-lipped without roll cage
3. Full chrome with roll cage
4. Full chrome without roll cage

Cool FCs no matter what variations though.

 

[a6m5]

The left one was put together by Bobby, who had Subway for lunch, but the one on the right, when Devin worked on that one, he forgot to wash his hands after going to the bathroom. Oh yeah, also the roll cage & chrome things..... are different......

 

[CodeRedR51]

WAY more than 4 variations, the two pictured are black/chrome MC5 (standard release is chrome MC5) andthe other is OH5. Both have no cage, then there is the cage vary plus a bunch that have the drivers seat bent forward. I'm probably missing some...

Oh and SA22C, not FC.

 

[Johnny1996]

My gosh. That's crazy!

 

[MedigoFlame]

@a6m5, I do like the SRT-8 model, but the normal one is more relatable as...I obviously see more of those at work than the SRT-8. Hell, I don't think I've ever seen an SRT-8 model of the current 300C at all! X_x

 

[jtl46]

So, with GTP blocked at work, it seems I have some catch up to do. It sucks. But as a immediate response:



I'll take the red Porsche, as I stripped off all the ones I had for custoizing and now I don't have a single stock one. I'll pass on the others. Also nice socks, @jtl46

Thanks. Birks with socks. In style. Who knew?

 

[jtl46]

These beauties were waiting for me when I got home.

These are great. Does the OH5 have the roll cage? I can't tell.

 

[CodeRedR51]

No cage.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Prove it.

I don't wanna.

Well you did say you had "one of the Evo VIIs" which totally meant you didn't have that one and aren't interested, so you don't even have to bother.

 

[photonrider]

^^^^He's a Canuck, guys. He's just made this way, he can't help it.

j/k

Many a true word spoken in jest.
But, yes, we're usually the peacemakers, unless you take away the beer and donuts; in which case we'll come after you with hockey sticks.

That U.S. Army/Air Corp-themed Daytona thing. Just. Wow.

One of my favourite pieces of old trash - have had it for over a decade for sure.

Awesome cars, awesome variety. Two thumbs for this post, Harry. 👍👍

Thanks. These are the only cars that remain on that 8' rack. I'm loathe to take them off until the cans of paint actually arrive and I have to take the whole rack down. Thinking of a sky-blue or neutral grey background this time around.

It's been mostly supermarket trash then, Ben, but you are pretty flexible collector.

I did remember that Ben used to post hordes of old castings, including a ton of Lesneys when he first came around here.

Okay, on to Puzzle #2.

Puzzle #1 (Newbie level - Fox amongst the Chickens)) won by Jason; he was right - there was a Camaro among the Mustangs.

Puzzle #2 (Tenderfoot level - Joker in the pack.) Can you spot it?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Purple F50?

 

[AOS-]

Either the 430 Scud or the Laferrari

Thanks for making games out of toy cars, Harry. Appreciate the effort put into short entertainment in a consumption thread.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

250 gto?

 

[a6m5]

LaFerrari I did see just one of.

What the heck is a consumption thread? Is that like the flow of time that we cannot capture in stone or just dolce fa niente?

And you were half right (The Laferrari is not a Ferrari - all the rest are. Okay it's a Ferrari - but it has another name.)
What made you say 430 Scud? What set it apart?



Puzzle #3 will be up soon.

GTG. Maybe tomorrow. Or someone else's turn.

 

[a6m5]

I thought Andy's consumption comment was right on the money. I did go buy certain Daytona Charger on eBay earlier this evening. Nice puzzles, but even better comment about beer & hockey sticks.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Well you did say you had "one of the Evo VIIs" which totally meant you didn't have that one and aren't interested, so you don't even have to bother.

or it could just mean I'm simply not interested since I already have one.
Of course you're right, it wasn't necessary saying I wasn't interested. I just feel the need to respond anyway and give a reason why.

@Gotbeefboy564 You know what, I'll go take a picture of it tomorrow.

 

[a6m5]

@Spacegoat You know what, I ended up preordering a Bluebird, but this one. I don't remember seeing it before, but I kind of like it. Nice thing about AmiAmi, you can combine your preorder with others, I think as long as they are from the same month. Just tried that for the first time, it was super easy!

Since this Bluebird preorder is August, I was able to combine it with that Dream Tomica Trueno @RCKakashi14 brought up before, also from the month of August. 👍

 

[Spacegoat]

@Spacegoat You know what, I ended up preordering a Bluebird, but this one.

Cool, I like the look of that one too.👍 Still think the other Bluebird looks better though. (It's currently #2 on the most popular listing.)

Nice thing about AmiAmi, you can combine your preorder with others, I think as long as they are from the same month. Just tried that for the first time, it was super easy!

Yeah, I noticed that option when I ordered the 260Z. Nice feature to have if you multiple orders being released in the same month.

I got most of those from where I used to work. I used to work in a charity warehouse and I would grab all the toy cars and lego that came in. I would get a shopping bag full of cars for $10.

I'm still befuddled; so 'consumption thread' means where we discuss stuff we buy/consume?
What Charger are you talking about? You didn't buy the one like the one I had, did you? Copycat! I wanted to be special! Darn you!
I'm glad you like the puzzles - just another bit of fun (for awhile) - and a chance to see various models of course.

I got most of those from where I used to work. I used to work in a charity warehouse and I would grab all the toy cars and lego that came in. I would get a shopping bag full of cars for $10.

I remember that - and I used to be insanely jealous that you had that opportunity. Hope you keep them well-preserved; they're going to be worth a ton one day when you find the right buyer.


Puzzle #3 (Greenhorn level* - Villain of the Piece) Which one?



*Just wait till we get to 'Grand Panjandrum Level'

 

[AOS-]

What the heck is a consumption thread?

What made you say 430 Scud? What set it apart?

A thread about stuff we bought. If you think about it, this is pretty much like the Recent Purchases thread, except it's solely for toy cars.

My answers were for whatever cars that weren't in pairs. I was thinking how a deck of cards that multiples of a value, and how that doesn't apply to the joker.

Puzzle #3: Gut feeling says Bone Shaker but other gut feeling says that seems too obvious and it's either the Punisher or the Corvette.



2 hour edit: Collect Matchbox, kiddies:

Note the "J5R5MY" license plate being dangerously close to "Jeremy".

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Joker bone shaker. @photonrider

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Well, here's my hotwheels Evo. 7 alongside with my Kinsmart Evo VII.
