or Japan Booster(use link on the right)

So many things I want, so little money. Why did I even bother clicking on that link in the first place?

Edit 2: @Cano Oh you know you want it.
So do I.

Damn. Yes I want I love landyatchs!

The outdated wheels is actually a Tomica Icon.
(Indeed it is. It's not outdated, A new wheel variant was made when production shifted to Vietnam, It's still the same with stiffer suspension, mind you..)

While I do think it is outdated, I absolutely agree with you that the tomica wheel is an absolute icon of the brand 👍 but maaaan they need an upgrade

The upgrades Tomica needs to do is add plastic and stop putting on "Paint-on rear-hatches.."

Kyosho? Not Kyosho?

The vehicles shown are made by AutoArt, Classic Carlectables and Biante

I just got a linked-in contact request from a Hot Wheels designer. Not sure how he got my email, maybe from HWC.com. Sort of odd at this time of night. Not to mention I didn't have an account at linked-in to begin with.

Job opportunity?



Said I was going to take numerous photos some weeks ago, but I got lazy. So I'll give you this instead:

Kyosho BMW McLaren F1 GTR
no.60 JGTC 1996 (left), no.44 LM 1997 (right)

Individual blog submission photos are already up if you don't want to wait. Link's in the sig.

Easily the best-looking of all the F1 GTRs in the set. Here, no one still buys it (the short tail), and I might grab it.

Probably to pair it with the plain-body version I have.

The Ueno Clinic and BMW Fina liveries are by far my favourite. I have that JGTC as well, but one is never enough.

In no way am I a designer. He's probably just trying to add to his numbers on there.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Nissan Skyline GTS-R R31 (There are 4 of them)
Porsche 911 Turbo (930; 2 variations)
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV
Toyota AE86 Trueno (there are zillions of them, especially the Initial D ones )
Toyota Celica TA22
All JGTC cars

Nissan Skyline GT-R collection
Honda S800/S2000 set
Lamborghini Countach LP500S/Miura SV set

How much is the Toyota 7?

Also, naw B, '96 Gulf F1 GTR is best looking F1 of the set.

 

[RCKakashi14]

How much is the Toyota 7?

Last time I checked, it was around 41 USD...

 

[yabiggoose]

 

[AOS-]

Guess the car? Woo!

I've got nothing.

Naniiiiiiii

I'm going to have to browse eBay for a while.

It's a Tomica for sure, I can tell by the wheels. It looks like a 350Z to me.

NSX

I'm sure most of us are past that stage now.

 

[VXR]

Hoped to come home from the 24-hour Tesco with some HW. Left with a World Cup rubber duck instead. The HW were colour changers, multipacks or 4X4s.

^ I almost misread that.



"Like" if you know what I mean.

 

[Johnny1996]

Oh god.

Sorry, but I'm not liking that in a million years.

Believe it or not, I know exactly how you feel. I do overspend & go for them now, because odds are, more those cars become of "vintage", I really won't be able to get them later. Secondary market prices on popular & discontinued cars are impossible. Like that Tokyu bus I want. $100.

Damn. Yes I want I love landyatchs!

I have a soft spot for them, too. I was born in the 70's. American Car = BIG.

I doubt this is the case, but I've seen plenty of phishing emails using that site. This is "Hot Wheels" specific, so I doubt that's the case with this one, but just keep that in mind.

In no way am I a designer. He's probably just trying to add to his numbers on there.

Ah, maybe those emails I received weren't phishing at all.

Super. Amazing. 👍

How much is the Toyota 7?

I've had one on my eBay watch list for more than couple of months. $20, shipped.

It's a Tomica for sure, I can tell by the wheels.

You are proven right again...... but not in the way you think.

I have a Tomica NSX I hate. I'm keeping it now.

So I wasn't the only one? Thank god.

Amazing what difference a simple wheel swap does, eh? But then again probably anything would be an improvement over those crappy regular Tomica wheels.

 

[a6m5]

Love it! Gonna get one of this soon!

If I recall...... That one's crazy expensive. Love @jtl46 close shots of TLVs though. 👍

Edit: Oh, yeah. Cheapest one I found on eBay was $60+, shipped.

Night & day difference. One of the best wheel-swaps I've ever seen!

Glad you like the pics. I like taking them. I have had that Ambulance for awhile. Don't know how much I paid for it. If you want to talk crazy expensive, the 5-car Transporter could take it. Contemplating the upcoming release.

Maybe I will take some pics of the three TLV buses I have...

Hontouni takai da na....


Though the store also carries reasonably priced TLs, starting from 20 USD.

The Lotus Exige/Europa Special 2-car set is the cheapest TL set on sale, ever. Roughly 10 USD.

The other 2-car sets cost twice as much...
