I like that they put more detail on the shovel than any of its previous releases.
 
Porsche series!!! Though I'm only after 3. The rest are all blacklisted because bad casting.

Other possible series: Aston Martin, Chevrolet, Dodge, BMW, Nissan, VW, and Toyota (though this one could be difficult).
 
@Cano a friend found these in his grandfather's house and wants me to tell him if they are worth anything. Since you are the expert, thought I would ask you. :p

Sorry for small pic.

Most of them are, indeed! The only that isn't is the flat black... thing alongside the stage coach. And well, several or the vintage cars on the right row are China-made thingies, altough there's a japanese Tomica in there.

Now, there's nothing particularly rare there, but they seem to be in pretty damn good shape. I'd need to see a side pic of the orange Duesenberg to see if it is a redline, but going by the other cars, I'd guess they are all from the same era, so that would rule out a redline. Most uncommon of the bunch is the wine T-Totaller with yellow base, 1-year-only (1983) Speed Machines version.

Seing it bigger, no, the T-Totaller isn't the Speed Machines version, it's just the regular red version, not as rare. they are still good cars, all of them, but nothing really impressive. I'd almost ask if they're for sale.

Well he asked if they were good enough to sell, or good enough to just give to his daughter. He's in Colorado though.
 


Actually, the person who consigns those Kyoshos said that those models have gotten more expensive in Japan (where he sources them since his brother is tasked to get them there). So I'm now expecting their future stocks to be more than 15 USD.

In fact, I saw a white Subaru Impreza NBR Challenge that costs 27 USD. The blue 22B is much cheaper, at 16 USD. :p
