I think I see those go for $20 on a card. Same with mine(black & red). Red one, I don't think I've ever seen before.

My blue one had the snowflake card. I got it at a Target.

I have seen sellers advertise "snowflake" card, so maybe that one is worth more. I'm not sure.

All I remember for those snowflake cards is that they were released a few years ago during winter.

My daughter is taking on a project to create a Lamley Charity that donates models to Primary Children's Hospital here in SLC, and that way we can donate the loads and loads of models I don't add to the collection.

👍👍

On another note, my next TLV package might arrive tomorrow. I love EMS.

Hoping that my two TLV's from AmiAmi will arrive in the next couple of days. Really excited for the radio Isuzu 117, such a cool looking model.

I also have reports on TLV, mainly the stuff that came to me trough Ahmed directly from Japan. No pics as you've all seen them/have them already, as all of them are relatively recent cars. He brought me the white 4-door VW Golf, a white Isuzu Bellet, the white/red/blue racing 260Z and the green Datsun 510 4-door. He also grabbed one of each F-Toys plastic models, a 2000GT, a Hakosuka and another Bellet. Prewtty cool models, amazingly detailed and well cast for being plastic, and they're nor color-injected, they're painted!

I also have reports on TLV Kyoshos.

You know those highly-sought top-class Hakosukas? I got my hands on plenty from some random dude in the Netherlands. Sometimes it pays to explore outside of North America and East Asia.

Agh, yes. Ahmed has two. They rule.

My only solace is that I have the 5 1:43 versions (: but still, I'd love me some 1:64 goodness.

I intend to sell maybe one or two of them.

There's two of those green TAKATA NSXs, one's a 2006, the other a 2007. I might sell one of them if they're too identical.

By sell, I mean sell to you guys. [/massive generousity]

Guy charged one large flat-rate shipping, so I grabbed as man goodies as possible.

Why so expensive? That's how much he's charging for them.

What cars I'm selling: To be determined.

 

[Cano]

Well, ok, I'll patience.

Mattel has some shady people working for them.

A prototype with an error?

Not a prototype, just an unreleased car. It's not coming with those wheels, so how the rivets were pushed down with them in leads me to believe they have people assembling their own cars, just to steal them and sell them on eBay.

Edit: This is the actual release.

Some of today's arrivals. Working on a post for tomorrow:

Dat 3-wheeler is really cool. Mazda iirc?

 

[a6m5]

That blue Mazda caught my eye, too. Awesome dump truck. I have the Nittsu version, but blue is cooler. 👍

Cars I got today:

From AmiAmi...... I shipped this without tracking. It arrived nearly three weeks later & box looked like somebody sat on it. Amazingly, cars & packaging survived.

Tomica Limited Vintage LV-N47a Nissan Terrano/Pathfinder + LV-N35c Honda CR-X Ballade Sports Si





Matchbox Best of British '65 Austin Mini Van + Greenlight Up in Flames 1968 Dodge Charger R/T

Love the S-10!

Thanks, Johnny. It is probably my best post since several minutes ago.

Also @a6m5 those TLV's are cool (how many CR-X's does that make now, by the way ) but man the Matchbox Austin van. 👍

My favorite version of the Mini Van. Really nice get. Have you heard the story of the beyond-rare "Chilean Mini Van"?

No. Do tell.

Can you guys see these two pictures?

You can see them right? Picture of a dinosaur on a truck?

 

[jtl46]

Did any of you order the TLV Isuzu 117? If you didn't, you should. Darn nice this one:





Full feature on the blog tomorrow, along with the Carrier, which we crammed into the Lamley photo space.

No. Do tell.
