AOS-
$180's a decent bargain for that model. Snag it up if you've been wanting it.

I don't have any money... Well, maybe I do. I've got $105 and I have no idea how I will get the other 75...
 
Sell your soul, sell your body, sell your stuff, sell your kids, sell your house, sell your time, or sell your money in hopes of earning money (lottery).

Whatever works, right? :p

You know the store? That's exactly where I saw it...
Do live in the area?

I live in the east but go to Highpoint fairly often. Especially given the only two Samsung stores that can replace phones (on my second replacement S5 in ten months) are Highpoint and Melb Central haha.
 
My collection is modest and I wouldn't really call myself a collector.
These are just things I've bought on impulse through the years.
Here's what I do have though.

1984 Ferrari Testarossa
Given to me when I was five or six years old.
It's very worn and beat up with a nice big crack
in the windshield.

Mika Hakkinen's 2000 McLaren MP4/15
Great F1 driver, beautiful car.

Enrique Bernoldi's 2001 Arrows A22 (Monaco edition)
The one where he kept David Coulthard behind him for
34 laps. I saw that race live on TV.
Ron Dennis supposedly said to Bernoldi post-race that 'he would never find
a race seat anywhere ever again.'
Bernoldi did nothing wrong in my opinion and he gained a fan that day. Me.

Alex Zanardi's 1999 Williams FW21
Love this livery.

Valentino Rossi's 2001 Honda NSR500
The bike he took his first big title with
after being 125cc & 250cc champion.

Nigel Mansell's 1986 Williams FW11
Johnny Dumfries' 1986 Lotus 98T
Scalextric cars from childhood.

Just an odd thing a friend of my dads gave me.
It's a Top Fuel dragster made out of car & bike parts.
Sparkplugs etc...

Tie Domi
A crazy hockey player (now retired) who I saw skate once.
Met him and other NHL players after the game too (it was an all-star game during the 2004 NHL lockout
when many NHLers came to Europe).

I have that same Testarossa in yellow that my dad previously owned. It's beaten up too. I never did consider it as part of a collection now that I think about it. Perhaps it's time to now.


edit: Now for something cool. Found pics of some newly finished Ignitions:

I always praise the level of detail they do with the front lamps and grills. Just look at all the minute details they get there. And I always priase IG for being able to show that in their presentation photos unlike some competitors.

That's new packaging. It used to be an acetate box outside of a paper sleeve and plastic frame. It looks like they'll be going with acrylic covers from now on, which means I don't have to handle the boxes super delicately, and taking the model out won't be a headache.

Others have also complimented my way of hanging my aircraft models as well, thanks :cheers:

I have two Macross plane kits I plan to display as a table center piece in the future. That's unfortunately all I can say for now. I haven't built the second one yet.

I have two VF's from Macross Frontier that I built a few years ago, both 1/72 scale. They are in a box right now, till I decide where I am gonna display them again. My Gundams are scattered all over my apartment, though some of them are also in boxes at the moment. I really need more display space that is somewhat dust-free lol...

13€ for this beauty, I was thinking about buying the Delorean from back to the future and the Ecto-1 but I'm planning to get some 1:18 Formulas.
This one was a must have.
 
AOS-
Made an unexpected purchase again. Me a Bad boy!



13 EUR for a single Hot Wheels? Dang son. I hope that was 13 Shipped.

On evilbay they go for more than 13€, I got this from a model shop near my university, it looks a honest price to me, it looks awesome ant it's quite detailed as well, plus the package looks great! :p
They do sell much other models but some prices are way too high.
 
The Cosmo is gorgeous in dat black, the G-Wagen is so mad it becomes brilliant, but my main target of my affection is the Jaaaaag. There just aren't enough good scale models of that one, and I know AA will step up to plate...

But of course, the pricetag of each and every single one of those new models is enough to put me off from an immediate purchase. Just as AA planned, I bet...
 
I just wish the G63 6x6 wasn't in matte colors. I'd be down for a gloss black one. I think the red one will be gloss though, so I will have to get that one. And yes, the suspension is fully functional on the 6x6 :drool:
 
omigod. omigod. omigod. The pictures have surfaced!

I'm happy they finally got pics on the red. I've been anxious to see the wheel size. Funny enough, no pictures on the earlier announced NSXs.
 
At this rate, you probably will get yours first. I have had the black one pre-ordered for like 2 years now yet no pics in sight.
 
I was gonna pre-order the RS, but didn't due to money lol
I might pick it up sometime soon though, unless something else gets in the way. As for the decals, I probably would fix them, since it isn't hard to do. A really sharp hobby knife and Micro Sol is all you need. I did it to several of my Sparks in 1/18 and 1/43.
