Friday: In the Mail & Random Finds

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.
