New & Sold Out from Tarmac Works: GreenLight Pennzoil Nissan Skyline GT-R(BNR34)

GreenLight Pennzoil Nissan Skyline GT-R BNR34

I got mine from Tarmac Works, but I believe you can still get them on eBay for cheaper, at least if you are in the U.S.  I'm on my way out of the hobby, selling off my collection, so I don't know what the heck I'm doing with this thing, but here it is.  An impulse buy I suppose.  :p

I paid $20.40, but $11.50 of that was shipping.  One of the headlamp's bit crooked in the macro shot, but I think it's really nicely done.  If shipping wasn't involved. lol

Tarmac Works 1/64 Toyota Supra Racing Version White - Hong Kong Minicar Festival Exclusive Model

Tarmac Works 1/64 Toyota Supra Racing Version White - Hong Kong Minicar Festival Exclusive Model

Limited to 480 pieces.  "Hong Kong Exclusive", but they had few available to us on their website.  RLC Hot Wheels with 3,000 pieces are sometimes hard to get.  Ignition Model with 999 pieces were kinda crazy.........  This Supra is 480 pieces.  It's a limited, limited edition!

I'm not gonna lie, while I do have a soft spot for Tarmac Works, this isn't impressive for $20+(scarcity of #'s released do more than make up for it IMO).  It's very cleanly detailed though.  While it's no TLV, it's not Asian GreenLight either.  Personally, I find it comparable to early Kyoshos.

Hot Wheels Speed Machines

Some "loose" Speed Machines I've had forever.  They've always been popular in the secondary market, but some of the car's been really collectible last few years.

When I first begun collecting them, they were carded(not these, different Speed Machines).  Fun episode in my collecting circle is how I didn't realize these things didn't have Real Riders. lol
