I swung by the post office to pickup my mail yesterday & found these cars waiting for me:
I'm a fan of earlier Fast & the Furious series & of Paul Walker, so wanted a Mitsubishi Eclipse in 1/64 scale for some time.... I think Johnny Lightning, no, Racing Champions offered it once, but it was very shortlived & secondary market prices on eBay were often too steep for me.
This very handsomely done Hot Wheels model with Real Riders I paid $9.94 on eBay(shipped). I think the Ford Escort from the same series I have hanging on the wall at work, I got for $5 from a store? So I had to pay roughly $5 more for this one, but it's worth it. I can't find it locally.
RLC Raptor, I paid $45 on ToyPeddler(shipped). While being a member of RLC, it was impossible to get one(numerous issue with that club & website). I'm actually lukewarm on this one..... I don't know, impulse buy? These typically go for more on eBay. :(
These things, I saw at stores while shopping for something else Friday night:
I've been looking for Yokohama series by M2, but I haven't "hunted" in a long time & I never see anything cool & new in stores anymore. These Coca Cola series cars are interesting though....
My personal favorite right here. Since I'm selling off my collection & not building it, I didn't bother picking it up($10!?). It's beautiful though. I have similar model by Johnny Lightning I'm definitely keeping. :)
Vintage cool.
