You collectors remember the MiniGT Zero Fighter GTR I paid for in full literally a year ago? It’s ready for pickup this weekend! Woohoo!

Peaks, a high-end resin company is debuting it's 1:64

Every scale manufacturer is getting in on 1/64.

I’m actually looking forward to getting the GTR. TSM have really come good. Good mechanical casting, rolling wheels, all metal, full pad printing, at a reasonable price.
 
Decent haul today, my wallet is hurting
Found the Forza set at Meijer also the Greenlight green R34

I found the Silva at a different store than the other four.

No new basics besides the 2002 Matchbox.
 
Their models are RIDICULOUSLY expensive; I don't expect the 1:64's to come cheap.

It'd be a disservice to the company's rep if they were going to produce $10 products when another expensive make like Ignition's target price is $30.
 
Looking at March/April for the first Auto World truck releases.

I wasn't suggesting that they should:lol:
 
You guys probably remember me as the guy who buys a lot of NASCAR and other racing stuff so heres one of my latest purchases. I found these at a train show last month and wanted them so bad I could've paid five times the price and not had a problem with it. :lol:

Jac Haudenschild Elden Racing sprint car and matching hauler both made by the original Racing Champions brand.

You lads inspired me. Picked up a GT M4 today, price was right, seems like a kinda garbage model (especially as I generally work with scale modeling as opposed to diecast) but I'm having some fun messing around with it. I can post some final product pictures once I'm done with it, assuming it turns out competently.
 
I thought I'd post something actually Hot Wheels and share my Tooned collection. I love these cars because of their exaggerated features, especially the huge engines. They remind me of Ed Roth's artwork such as Rat Fink, which I really enjoy.

Hey festival party goers, remember this casting from Tarmac? Brings back memories, and they still haven’t improved the build quality since then.

I am starting to pack up my collection now. Donating cars I don’t want. Had to go searching through the mess for my first purchases of this casting. I think they have shot up in value amirite? @a6m5

They did, but they came crashing down. I think they'll still move for $75-ish each, but that's just my guess. I checked my listing just now, they are listed at around $100, but it's not moving.
 
Brad Doty Bowers Coal sprint car. At one point he lived in my area and was a weekly competitor at the local track. This was one of the cars Doty drove during that time so I had to get this car despite its inaccuracies (wing, chassis and body style compared to the real car.

Didn’t know there is a ver.1 version until about two weeks ago.

Those look so good, unlike this guy:

The lack of definition on the top edge of the lamps gave me the impression of a face without eyebrows.

*shrugs* I think I will be fully closing my doors on Hot Wheels/Matchbox now.
