[Niku Driver HC]

I'm swimming in debt, not pesos, lol. The yellow thing is a Honda City by Kyosho.

Figures, after a haul like that who wouldn't be? All your pesos are now a mere hole in your wallet.

Also, what do you think of my Siku purchases? Not vintage, but pretty nice, wouldn't you say?

And you can't really see everything. There's even an Autoworld down there.

Also, the Weissmans, yes. I had the chance to grab it when Siku was sold here, but passed since it never came out in a solid color, and they were also achingly expensive.

Even an Autoworld!? That was one major spending spree you were on, man.

Actually, only one of them is a Wiesmann, the other is a Porsche. Surprised to hear you never quite bought one, guess I was lucky to find the "Flames" version of it. Looks like a modern German Hot Rod, that one...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Speaking of Auto World.....still nothing new in stores here. I think between the time they announced they were shipping and right now they got sucked into a black hole.

 

[Nessy]

Seeing that yellow rip-off Yatming that @Cano posted, has got me wanting after a similar looking MB version.

Really want this:

But want this bigger version even more:

[EDIT]

Found another pic of the yellow rip-off.

View attachment 322578 Found a Super!!!!!!!

I haven't been looking for T-Hunts for years. I know they changed things but what denotes a super now? Do they still all have rubber tires or is there something you have to find?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Rubber tires and darker paint than it's basic counterpart.

Japan Booster has the Bentleys
Didn't want to miss out.

Very nice. Should I ask? Sure:

Did you use the link on Lamley?

I think Japan Booster is always fair. Sometimes they might be a tad higher, a lot of times lower, but consistently they offer the best prices, and you cannot beat the service and shipping. I am very happy to be associated with them.

 

[yabiggoose]

Yes I did.

So that was yabi with the Japan Booster/Kyosho tip! I just tried something new on eBay & stalked that Bentley GT3 as Japan Booster listed them on eBay. I saw yabi's post earlier on my phone & just happened to start looking on eBay, then realized that Japan Booster, by far, had best "buy it now" prices. At the same time, I noticed that new listings of Kyosho Benlteys were being added real time. I added the red Turbo R to the cart, then I clicked refresh.... click...... click....... Within minutes, here come the GT3, then rushed the cars out of checkout.

What's amazing: Only after checkout, I saw that there were quantity of "2" GT3s in this listing. The other guy beat me by a mile & that's FAST. Thanks @yabiggoose 👍

Okay guys, I stalked DaBox. They literally listed the Kyosho Bentley's just now. The Karuwaza is at $17. GET IT NOW:

http://www.daboxtoys.com/collection...n-bentley-continental-supersports-matte-black

edit: Omg! It just went up to $32!.

edit: 30 refreshes later, no GT3 shows up. Felix said there's only one per box..... but I'd be damned if people bought them all in-store before he could take any to the interwebz.


edit: oh man, I don't know if I should fight now on eBay auctions or take a risk and wait a year. Ho mah gawd.

 

[a6m5]

edit: Omg! It just went up to $32!.

I just realized that. I don't know what the deal is, but this is the third "fail" in three attempts with this company. I give up. Thanks for the tip though!

If I didn't already secure it with my forwarder, I'd have snagged that asap! Oh well, I'll settle on $19.

edit: You can put this one on watch: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111612500529. It's going to hit $30+ though. I guarantee it. The matte black 911 GT3R went up there too when it ended.




edit: I'd be damned if there are more Karuwazas available than the GT3...

I'll pass. I was casually interested in the Karuwaza, but it was all about the GT3, so I'm all good. 👍

Oh go to hell. I'm away for one day and I miss out on Japan Booster having a couple of GT3's on stock? ! Love that HW Microbus you posted a couple of pages back, very cool. 👍

 

[jtl46]

The Bentleys are proving very popular it appears, and thankfully they look good. There will surely be more GT3's listed at Japan Booster...

EDIT: Just noticed he put up a two more GT3's a couple of hours ago. Looks like the sold in minutes. More are coming...

 

[a6m5]

I'm sorry dude, I know you wanted one(way more than me!). It was pure luck, and they soldout within seconds.

Love that HW Microbus you posted a couple of pages back, very cool. 👍

I didn't know that the top opened like that. Very trick. 👍

 

[Spacegoat]

and they soldout within seconds.

No doubt and so will the next ones they list. Wasn't aware of the one per box thing with the GT3. This one may be a little beyond me...

I didn't know that the top opened like that. Very trick. 👍

Yes, very trick indeed. Shell colours are awesome too. 👍

And um, still no AmiAmi order yet?

 

[a6m5]

And um, still no AmiAmi order yet?

Yet to see a scan in the U.S. Going for the record with this one.

 

[Spacegoat]

Yet to see a scan in the U.S.

Nope, not saying a single word....

 

[yabiggoose]

Hawa....

 

[AOS-]

Secured a GT3 for $31.97. God, this is not a good time to be doing with the CAD so low.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Found a HW Porsche 934 RSR with a spare wheel last night. Must have gotten a flat. I'll post a pic after work.

 

[Apok]

Life is so much simpler for those of us that don't want the Bentley GT3.

 

[AOS-]

I don't know a thing about the GT3, but I wanted it for some reason.

 

[yabiggoose]

Lol aussie dollar is worse.

 

[AOS-]

DaBox finally listed the GT3, but I was ready to anticipate a markup. I'm guessing Felix was gauging the bids on eBay to see how much he could rake. He had it at $22. I was a facebook post by Lamley got me looking at Japan Booster's page again, because it was the last $17.99 GT3 available.

The 4 other auctions by now have exceeded $18 and they're still not over yet.

Good deals. Good deals indeed. Good luck to the rest of you GT3 hunters.

 

[Spacegoat]

Lol aussie dollar is worse.

Yeah, not an ideal time to be buying for us. I was ready to jump on one last night until I realised that it worked out to almost $50 AUD. First world problems, eh?

 

[AOS-]

If it weren't for the fact there's only one GT3 per box....

On the bright side, this means the value of everything else in that set drops significantly.

Mulsannes, Arnages, and Turbo Rs at $10-17 now.

Soon it may just drop as low as the roster in the Lambo 5 set. I was tempted to pick up one of these for a mod, but it can wait for a summer sale, a "black friday" or Christmas sale.

More dirty cars to clean cars pics. I'm sure some of you remember this pic I posted some months ago:

Said pic is the reason why this car isn't as filty as others. Still, since then it managed to acumulate this much dust over it's body, and the interior was disgusting.

After a thorough cleaning, in which the interior was still a bitch to clean even with the swing-up doors, this is the outcome:

If this thing didn't have a cracked windshield it would be a very good piece.

Fly away now...
