Found heaven here in Osaka:

And bought these two:

I might go back there the other day. Hehe.

And here is my 2017 1/18 total:

 

[AOS-]

I sold you the CMC in 2016?

Yeah, I think it was one of the last models I got in 2016.

And here is my 2017 1/18 total:

I've highlighted my 2017s:

I probably should've did away with the ducktail 964; only nabbed it for its low price. Unsure when I should go ahead and sell it.

Sold the McLaren 12C and Maisto Viper as well.

How much would you want for the 964?

 

[AOS-]

I'm hoping to have at least a $50 return on it, but if you're asking because you're interested, I'm willing to work with you on this.

I'm interested for sure, but it'll be most likely out of my price range to give you a fair figure

Pandem R32 pics are out:

Oh. Then there's the FRS...

 

[Johnny1996]

Some tools so I can go to work as a lube technician. 3/8" deep well sockets, a couple of Gearwrench ratchet wrenches, a socket rail and an oil filter claw. Long way to go until I have everything.

D&G goofy goodies:

edit: Oh dear:

10pcs.. and it's purple, blue and red!?

 

[SPhilli911]

After 2 failed ebay purchases (first car was broken when it arrived and the second was somehow damaged before shipping so seller refunded) I finally got a Viper Green 3.0 911 Turbo! I was pretty desperate to have it so I may have over paid.

Here it is, my 2 most expensive models, believe it or not.

 

[AOS-]

The green one is said to be rare, hence expected to be expensive...

That's if it's the AUTOart.

 

[Venom800tt]

I have always wanted the Viper Green 930 Turbo, but never was able to find it for a price I was willing to pay (below $300 USD). Anyway I modified a couple models by adding metal exhaust tips, my Kyosho Lancia Stratos Wide Wheel and my LookSmart 288 GTO:





Had to do it to the Stratos due to having lost one of the exhaust tips somehow when I moved a few months ago. The 288 just had kinda trash exhaust tips not belonging on a $200 resin model, lol...
Probably will paint the insides of both black as well.

@MSZ
I got the 1:18 2014 SRT Motorsports Viper GTS-R by Sparks

It’s awesome, only other 1:18 scale expensive model I bought was an exoto sauber c9. I think attention to detail on this is a little better but the doors or hood doesn’t open. I need to get a garage display to put these cars in. Hopefully one of the high end brands makes a Viper ACR

 

[MSZ]

Beautiful Viper, I still need to add one to my collection.

 

[AOS-]

Beautiful Viper, I still need to add one to my collection.

And that was the one opportunity.




Nah. While $190 was a really good price for that, I'd get a Viper only if there was a livery that could knock my socks off.

 

[Venom800tt]

Finished messing around with those exhausts, plus another one I did:







Also some minor re-organization, still need a LOT more shelves...

 

[AOS-]

Although it's not my collection nor money, considering how you buy non-stop, can I suggest that you invest in display products that are modular in its structure? That is to say that the product can continuously be "upgraded" in capacity size without looking like you "added" a whole new product to the wall. It'll make your display look like you've accommodated future purchases like this.

Often times, people just grab whatever they can find and shove it on the wall (literally) wherever there is space, and it shows there wasn't consideration for future expansion.

That's if it's the AUTOart.

It is an Autoart, I think the only other green one is a Norev 3.3 Turbo, not the 3.0. But I knew how expensive it was gonna be, which is why I settled for the Martini white one at first but decided it was time to find a green one. I sold the Martini Turbo and 3 other models to get the Viper Green one, so that might give you a hint on how much I ended up paying.

It took 3 tries to get one!

In other news, I picked up a used Norev 997 Turbo, which are surprisingly hard to find cheap. Norevs usually sit too high in the front, so I fixed it. The model arrived with some paint chips too I'm gonna have to fix, but not bad for the price. Forgive the picture quality.

 

[AOS-]

I've 3 different cars, 3 different styles of aftermarket appeal, 3 different shades of blue:

And here is my 2017 1/18 total:

Is that an XJ13 I see? Auto art?

 

[AOS-]

The one and onry. Grab your jelly jar.

 

[Venom800tt]

The one and onry. Grab your jelly jar.

What is amazing about it is that I paid less than $200, and appeared to be new in box. Box was discolored from age, but who cares, it is the goods inside that matter. Looks great with the AA D-Type LM winner. Now I just need a British Racing Green E-Type Coupe to finish the trio.

 

[AOS-]

Can I sell you my Bburago silver E-Type which you can repaint?

Really trying to find a new home for it.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Oh finally...

IDEA/Make Up 1/18:

Golly gee.

 

[RCKakashi14]

First diecast purchase of the year:

 

[AOS-]

C'mon, TSM! This was a year ago! Heritage Black Ford only released not too long ago.

I believe the heritage FGT is actually an ACME/GTS, the TSM one never came out.
