Johnny Lightning Coca~Cola 2005 Calendar Collection Cars: 1955 Chevy 2-Door Sedan

I'm browsing TTP, see the Johnny Lightning Land Cruiser come up for cheap & buy it......  Then I look around the seller's inventory to see what else I may want to combine shipping & one car I immediately had to have was this one.  I got a great deal on that combined shipping, too.  Highly recommend this seller:  Colorado Diecast/1hotwheeler

Johnny Lightning Marvel X-Men: Logan's 1964 Studebaker Pickup

How fitting that on the rare night I'm posting a JL car, I discover that JL is coming back to life?  :)

It's a bit different style casting, in the only way JL could deliver(with a fold out poster!).

Johnny Lightning: Back from the Dead!!!

I love Johnny Lightning.  In fact, one of my unpublished posts in this blog is about the death of Johnny Lightning brand in 2013, when the parent company Tomy discontinued the brand.

Well, the good news is that the Auto World is bring them back.


Racing Champion, I wasn't a huge fan or anything, but another notable 1/64 brand & they seem to be joining the party as well.  

This fantastic news came from Bertrand on Sixty Four Ever.  One of my favorite 1/64 sites online.  Thank you for being on top of this latest news!

CR-X Showdown!!!: Kyosho Minicar Collection Honda CR-X versus Tomica Limited Vintage LV-N22c Honda Ballade Sports CR-X Si


tomica limited vintage versus kyosho

I'm sorry, this is a recycled material, something I posted on GTPlanet long time ago.  I do have new post on the white CR-X by Tomica Limited Vintage here.  

While this was far from thorough, it was an interesting side-by-side comparison, so I wanted to share it here real quick:

Kyosho wins in the headlight lenses, but while it's bit hard to see from my crap photography, TLV to me was the clear winner.  In the last pic though, you can see they misaligned the taillight outline big time on the left side.  Gah.
