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.

Tomica Mooneyes Collection

When I used to actively collect Hot Wheels & minicars, this is one of the sets I had laid my eyes on.  I had forgotten all about it until I saw this tweet from the Japanese collector I know.  Awesome frigging box!  

Little bit underwhelmed?  Well, in my view & F60 mentions this in one of his tweets as well, but it's a surprise in itself to see a set like this from Tomica.  Recently, a mainline Matchbox featured Mooneyes livery, and I was bit taken by that one as well.  In 1/64 genre, when I think of "Mooneyes", it's all Hot Wheels & M2 Machines.  Anywho, this part is the real treat.  This set, out of the box:

 "Skyline"

 "bB"(Scion xB in the U.S.)

"Datsun Truck"

"Glory Rod - Gloria"

Special thanks to @F60  You can checkout hit Twitter account full of hot wheels & minicars here.  He collects EVERYTHING.  No wonder we get along.  :D

 If you like Mooneyes livery, try using the search box on the top left corner of this page, too.  I'm sure I have few cool Mooneyes vehicles in this blog.  :)

Fresh Dump Bin at Walmart: ZAMAC Mad Mike '95 Mazda RX-7

Fresh dump bin, but there was somebody ahead of me already.  You've heard the horror stories of two collectors going thru bins & pegs at the same time, but I don't think I've ever had horrible experience at that.  If anything, majority of the time, it's cordial & pleasant.  It was no different today.

Since I don't even know what the new releases are or Treasure Hunts are anymore, I let the guy ahead of me do his thing.  I just browsed around him, and did find couple of cars I think I want to keep for myself:

Nova Wagon Gasser?  This is a obvious win.  Sorry the glare's kinda in the way.  Here's the stock photo:

Another keeper I think is this Miata.  It is SWEET:

Heck yeah, dude.  Also picked up few cars for the peeps & random eBay customers.  Already giving away the red 300ZX to customer who bought this from me tonight.  If you buy from me on eBay, make sure to message me right away before the order is processed(link towards top-right of the blog).  Mention the blog, I will throw in a freebie.  ;)

Edit:  Sorry.  You guys probably rather see the ZAMAC RX-7, which I didn't feature in this post at all.  Here are some pics.  Sorry.  :D

Wowza!
