Was the Escort's wing normally that.... flexible?


Greenlight and their shenanigans as usual.


And also:

I'm getting either the orange or the yellow one.

They say May 2020, but don't expect them to release until July... I pre-ordered 2 Lamborghinis slated for release in March, but it's almost May and I still don't have them.
 
Are they coming from Japan? Odds are your parcel has been returned to the sender because of Japan Post's restrictions due to Covid-19. I've got a TLV that was returned to AmiAmi after they shipped it. Hopefully things settle down soon. :crazy:
I don't think it's been sent at all, because it doesn't say that they've been released yet (last time I checked anyway). I bought a MINI GT Supra slated for release in July and I didn't get it until September. They take a while to reach me, pandemic or not. That's why I said what I said. I didn't think there was a postage issue because I got some model planes from Germany just recently.
 
Japan Booster emailed recently to say that April's releases will be delayed. They have the stock but Japan Post aren't accepting the packages so I imagine it's the same for other retailers. In other news my TLV Lancer RSs arrived about an hour ago (delayed due to Covid19 and customs charges) haven't had chance to open yet, will post pics when I do.
 


Goddamn, new mainlines surprises!
Koenigsegg Jesko, F150 SVT Lightning, 2020 Shelby GT500, Porsche 914 Safari and finally the Mazda RX3 made it's way to mainline.
 
I just got hold of this:

View attachment 917154

It looks great, the details are minuscule. While one of the antennae fell off, it was an easy fix. Everything was impeccable, until I noticed this:

Same also applies to the banner above the windshield.

Why, Inno, why? :(

Very nice 90s the best era of TC around the world, and Dtm had some of the best cars.
What's up that decal not officiall?
I notice your box says didbel alt?
Whatever that is.
Edit ahh i see, spelling mistake? :/
I personally love the mustang from that series.
Great looking model you have.
 
Sorry if it's already been discussed but the Tomica Supra looks terrible, doesn't it?




That's now how a regular release Tomica looks like.

This is what you see in retail:

Those McDonald's Tomica cars look cartoonish to make it really look a like a toy and appeal to kids.

Typical Happy Set quirks right there.

How odd. Why bother making a deliberately crappy casting? I get the appealing to kids angle, but I can't imagine kids would care that much either way, and at least the proper one actually looks like the car...
