Just wanted to point out to any Extreme collecters out there that a number of Venezuelan hot wheels are rolling through eBay right now. These are easily some of the rarest cars you will ever see. If you're inclined, I'd take a look. (I'm not sure the deal with $26 shipping but if any of them stick under $60, they're a bargain!

@Photon - "I imagine us all seated around a large table, pulling out cars and showing one another our loot"

That'd be quite an enormous table! I'll go even further. The cars are passed down the table on redline hot wheels track. When they get to the end, they are sent back with boosters!

Two things:

1 - YOU'RE ALIVE!

2 - will check out Venezuelan stuffs. Thanks 👍
 
And that is exactly how I ended up with hundreds of Hot Wheels I stopped liking a year later. I hope you will continue to like tow hooks until the end of time.

I'm selling off a bunch that I don't want anymore. But I never did buy as much as you, so I have less to go through.

"Been meaning to post"? Come on Shinji, you're slacking on the job, I need my dose of daily jealousy from seeing your amazing cars. How am I supposed to keep my jealousy levels in check without my daily doses? :irked: :lol:

On a more serious note, those CMs are great stuff, the Mazda is great as I've seen before (since you actually directed to the (now closed) Japanese webpage that had a massive collection of them). The Delta is Sub-zero material, but that much is obvious. The Lancer looks a bit off for me, perhaps my least favourite of the bunch. But then it's counterbalanced by the magnificent Ralliart-sponsored Chrysler Conq... er, I mean Mitsubishi Starion. Look at that thing! What a great piece of kit... :drool:
I totally agree with everything you said about the cars. Delta blew me away, Lancer Evo was underwhelming at best. Starion indeed is a treat in 1/64 scale. 👍

As for posting these late, I find going thru their protective packaging & screwing/unscrewing cars off their bases a chore. :crazy: I was home sick today, so I utilized the free time. :p
Honestly I'd almost forgotten about them. :lol:
ME TOO!
Really great stuff, curse you and your black 323. 👍
Like Starion, 323/Familia is also a treat in 1/64. 👍
Get RAC'd with that 1985 RAC Delta S4.

Is that your only S4?
What? & yes.

I need all of those. All. Of. Them. Gimme!

Also, don't show that to Kazunori-san, otherwise he'll have a Kaz ere... you know the rest. :lol:

Yeah, it's a hard pick between the Delta and the Starion as the COTP (Car Of The Post). I mean, the Delta is legendary, and CM captured everything that was necessary to capture, but the allure of a Ralliart Starion (I had never seen a livery like that before, trust me) is incredibly powerful.

The LanEvo, on the other hand, just looks wrong. That square exhaust tip is terrible, and the stance is so off that you could call it a monster truck. :yuck:
 
Kaz (Gran Turismo creator) would be proud!
I know, I was thinking Gran Turismo, too. :lol:

Delta. Trust me.
That square exhaust tip is terrible
*checks last page* All I can say is OMG. I've never seen anything like it. :lol:
It doesn't make any sense.
Damn you, kusooo....... you know I'm frustrated when I start cursing in Japanese lol
 
Hold your bladder. My other skylines has not set foot on my homeland yet.

Man, you aren't helping, it's already hard enough to see Shinji over here teasing me, not you too!

Although to be fair, it'll probably won't get much worse than the "TLV GT-R Nismo storm" of 2015... :lol:

Delta. Trust me.

I'll trust you, because I do know the value of a rally Delta. But I won't forget that Starion either man, it's too hard to do so.

*checks last page* All I can say is OMG. I've never seen anything like it. :lol:

You were so appaled by it that you even forgot to check that detail. :lol:

Seriously, my Siku Wiesmann has better detail on its tips than the Lancer, for crying out loud! And it's not even the most detailed line of Siku cars!

Damn you, kusooo....... you know I'm frustrated when I start cursing in Japanese lol

Ochitsuite, Shinji-san. Thank god for Google Translator, I don't want to mess up my attempt at writing Japanese words...
 
Already donated $10.

I like to keep promises when I can. It might not be as bad as the GT-R rage considering I never ordered one, but I think what I've got might still be a fair challenge for the faint-hearted Skyline nuts.

Fair enough, I eagerly await what you have in store for the "faint-hearted Skyline nuts", as you've put it. Take your time, no pressure from here.

I'm going to require you to send me the R30 and R32 just so I can make sure that they are indeed as awesome in person as they look in the picture. Thanks.
I was home sick today, so I utilized the free time. :p

Ah, that's why you posted them because you had nothing else to do. I knew it! :p

We all knew what the Karuwaza was, but what about the Bentley series' Secret model?

secret_4306d879-d63d-4e17-a6a7-fdc5b1fdc59a_1024x1024.jpg


Another flat-black Continental. Lame.......

What's so cool about a flat-black convertible anyway? Do you feel matte black is a paint colour that works best for the low-profile, edgy, and agile looking cars? Gives the car a concealed aggressive demeanour to me.

That said, I think it would've been more awesome if the Mulsanne or Arnage was put in place of this Secret.

Edit: Looked up pics: never mind those two. Give it to the GT3. Stealth GT3. Make it a candidate to the GT7 Stealth race car line-up.

GT3 always wins.






Kenmeri kinda sucks, but Hakosuka was OK. These three here, they look bit better in person. Especially the R34.


I don't know if the Kenmeri and Hako suck, but the wheels don't work too well. The R32 and Iron Mask are the two that take it for me...

I got my Bentley set today. Taking pics tonight.
 
It probably won't reach the right ears, but I didn't care and did it anyway. I emailed Kyosho about making a Ford Sports & Racing series.... I really want it to happen.

For all they want to cash in on, it could just be a Ford Minicar Collection if they want to try at consumer vehicles. Race cars would likely be a better route to ensure sales of each model they could make, but keeping the title less specific gives them room to milk the series and rake in more dough from dealers and vendors.

Next target: Matte Black GT3R Hybrid for under $32?


I don't know... I need to rob a bank or something. :P



Anyhow, here are the outdoor shots. The person who consigned the item at the store (who also happens to be my acquaintance) sells it at 27 USD. But he marked it down to 22 USD, thankfully.

That's because of my continuing patronage. Hehehehehe.... Bulk of my Kyoshos were bought from him.

You've got the crooked wing too!

Good job for establishing a connection with the guy. Be wary if he deliberately marks up prices to give you the impression he's giving you a special deal. Can't be too careful with sellers.
 
Back to Hot Wheels. Some Cool Classics came to my storeand I finally got the boss.

Then a box of road trippin cars came and they were the new ones.

Dude you weren't kidding, I took a peek and man, those are amazing. They're also laughably badly made, just like mexican cars. I'll keep an eye on them, not gonna bid but I'm sure curious.

Kakashi, you sly sneaky son of a gun, that's not a steal. That's an Italian Job-esque robbery! It does pay to know the seller, since you get away with this sort of deal... And the 911 is tremendous, despite its hybrid side (not a big fan of hybrids, I'm afraid. Top job. 👍
 
I was browsing AmiAmi today, and saw that they put up the August TLV preorders. I preordered this, this & this. I had no idea who Ukiya Toujiro was, but I now sort of do(thanks to Wiki). And @MedigoFlame may want to check out the third car I preordered. It's not quite in the style that he had hoped for, but I think he'll agree that it looks pretty damn sweet. They come in three versions(white, also light blue in stock or same color, but Cop TV show vers.). I didn't even know that I wanted one, but now I can't wait for the damn thing to arrive!
