M2 Machines Auto-Thentics 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air

M2 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air

I haven't bought one of these in awhile.  I guess I really liked the color combination.

Greenlight Special Edition - Milezone Primer Project '68 Chevelle SS

When I bought this Primer Mustang GT, I also chased this Chevelle, but the price was too high at the time.  This time around, I found a eBay seller who was willing to sell me one for $14(shipped), so I was happy to score one.  Milezone used to release these special edition cars all the time, but they are unfortunately closing doors to diecast business & are now selling custom knives online.   Anywho, here's the Chevelle.

I love it.

Auto World Hemmings Muscle Machines: 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1

Not amongst the favorites for Ford fans & Mustang fans.  Not me, I've always liked this body style.

I wasn't going to get this when it was initially released.  One advantage in having stores around me that fails to carry the hottest, or the latest hot wheels & other diecasts:  Sometimes, you still get the second chance at the oldest stuff from months ago.  lol

In fact, this store also had TWO of the M2 Shelby Cobra auto-hauler trailers.  TWO.  It was my last chance to pick that one up, but you know, money & (storage)space.  :(

Auto World 2014 Dodge Viper SRT

My bad, I thought this was the chase color?  It generally is, but look like this one is just another standard Viper, without the white stripe down the middle.  Still, color is beautiful, and so is the casting.  Quite a buy for $2.99 from Walmart.

Do I give credit to Dodge, or Auto World for the beautiful contour?  Probably both.

I went with yellow, and I'm glad, but I now want silver.

Edit:  I paid $24.80 for this car.  On eBay, back in 2014.  These things cost WAY more now.  No, I don't need silver.  lol


Tomica Limited Vintage LV-46b Prince Skyline Deluxe(blue) + LV-57a Prince Skyline 1900 Deluxe(Fire Department Command Vehicle)


Skylines, Skylines, Skylines..... but not your Paul Walker Skylines.  These classics were released by the Prince Motor Company, company that later would be absorbed by Nissan.  These cars are from the late-50's to early-60's.

Gorgeous design, especially the rear...... and very impressive execution by TLV.  Super clean!

What a fantastic (re)release!  Last time around, we had little fun hooking up Greenlight trailer to the LV-75a(gray) truck.  While there is no Greenlight hitch & tow this time around, please do enjoy the special appearance by the original wrecker truck.  :D

Looks like they did away with those roof-mounted rotating lights.  Still, only the second time this casting's been released in retail.  I hope you don't miss out!
