After seeing that rear shot I think the blue casting is the one to go for.

Don't remember if I ever shared these here. All mid-80s Yatmings.

Rarest of the bunch by far is the Toyota Crown:

Great stuff in there. Love the Crown - I had the real thing once - drove like a dream; I miss that car, many good memories.

Here are the only two yatmings I have:

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

Tell him not to give them to his daughter, they're in too good of a shape to waste them. Have him list them on ebay for 25-25. Will sell them quickly.

He doesn't want to list them on eBay, but if someone here wants them he'll do $25 shipped.

If dollar wasn't so astronomical right now, I'd think about it. Which leads me, btw, to a pm to you.

I can't believe such a thing exists:

Location is rumoured to be a place in the next town... old stock, an abundance of it and ONLY $3...

 

[Cano]

Well worth giving it a try. You could live off of those for a good while.

You going to check it out? I'd be in for some wheel donors....

 

[yabiggoose]

I'd jump on that if I was remotely near there.

 

[velly]

I just picked up this bad boy while i was in Thailand. The dude was selling loads of loose one (i guess stolen from the factory)
I should have bought more lol

 

[Ken]

I managed to pick some some good cars in the last couple of days. A few M2's and some Autoworlds. I'll post some pics soon.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

It's days like this when I like my job.
Got to stock the Easter cars.


Tarmac attack, rsc, amazoom,

Super gnat, deora 2, and the Chevy.
I wish they made more realistic cars for this series.

Kyosho 1:64 - Lamborghini Diablo SE35 (named as an SV in Lamborghini Minicar Collection IV)

 

[Cano]

Old Kyoshos sure were chunky. I'd still rock one.

Actually, that was released in 2012... that "chunky" rear bumper in the SE35 is totally different from a regular Diablo:

 

[Cano]

That's from 2012? Damn, Kyosho.

Oh, so they're meant to look like that? I was thinking that it was Kyosho's oversight that made the white SV have an oversized rear bumper... Thanks for pointing that out, Kakashi.

The Diablo SE35 isn't really much of a known Lambo (unlike the SE30) because it was a special modified version of the SV made by a Swiss Lamborghini importer and then sold just 10 of them in time for Lamborghini's 35th Anniversary.


The facelifted SV keeps the rear bumper from the early model.

Makes sense, in short the SE35 is a middle ground between the old SV and the facelifted version. Because it's so rare, it's hard to notice the changes unless it's stated (or if you know your Lambos, just like you). Kyosho defintely pays attention to their Lambos...

Remember, Japan has tons of Lambos (it was once the biggest market of Lamborghini before China's economy suddenly skyrocketed), so it is easy for Kyosho to access and make Lamborghini models especially the special edition ones - like the red Walter Wolf Countach, Diablo GTR, Miura Jota SVR, and 3 of those SE35 Diablos.


And do you know that the rim colors of all 10 SE35s match their body colors? So Kyosho naturally has to do the same.

No wonder Kyosho continues to create Lambo scale models to this day, huh? Even the newer models (Aventador, Veneno/Veneno Roadster) still get the Kyosho love, and they look really good to boot. And it seems that special editions are their bread and butter, since they have so many of them...

Also, damm, that rim colour thing is true attention to detail right there... I tip my hat to you, Kyosho. 👍

Here are the other variants to look out for:

Somehow I'm not feeling the edges at the 1:64 scale. It looks too rounded than I can picture it being.

Also, shame they don't got it in purple.

Maybe it's the pictures that make it look round, I dunno.

I do own a purple Diablo, except it is a Bburago 1/18 scale model. And it hidden somewhere in the attic...

Recap of the Lamborghini Minicar Collection IV:

Those encircled ones are the models that I have from that set. Up to this day, I'm still very happy to own that gray Sesto Elemento.

 

[R5]

The Gallardo racers, are they the ones with chrome roofs or am I thinking of a different model?

Just know they were featured earlier in the thread.

They have chrome roofs too, like the Murcielago R-GT models.

Ah thanks, was probably the Murcielago I saw.

Either way, I want both, but they'll probably be way too expensive at the minute
