Ebbro 1/64? What..... Also some Choro-Q Preorder

ebbro 1/64

Since the decision to quit collecting, I hardly check the pegs for any hot wheels anymore.  Latest Ignition Model, Tomica.... blah.  Still, if I see a interesting preorder, I still look.  

Today, I was on amiami to pay for INNO64 Civic I got roped into when I saw Ebbro 1/64.  With Ignition Model, INNO, TSM, etc., joining the 1/64 market, it seems that Ebbro was not to be left behind.  This is the amiami page I came across:

ebbro 1/64 nsx

So far, I only see numbers of Civic & NSX.  I have never owned any of the Ebbro diecast/resins, so I can't comment on their quality, or even reputation.  Just wanted to share what I saw with the collectors.

While I wasn't about to commit to more 1/64 diecasts, I couldn't say no to these little pull-back motor cuties:


Choro-Q  Skyline GT

Choro-Q zero Seibu Keisatsu 17 Skyline GT

Seibu Keisatsu Skyline GT Choro-Q(aka Penny Racers).  These are too cool.  I think I saw these first on Twitter & also a link from my buddy Jarrod.  I decided to check these out while on amiami too & I had to preorder them.  They are priceless!

Choro-Q zero Seibu Keisatsu 17 Skyline GT

Kenmeri Skyline 2000GT.  Also a no-brainer.

Choro-Q z-55a Nissan Skyline 2000GT

I'm not gonna lie, if these were still available come 2019, if I had extra cash laying around, I'm getting a couple more.  Again, preorder page is here.

Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary 50 Car Display Case feat. Exclusive '83 Chevy Silverado

Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary 50 Car Display Case'83 Chevy Silverado

Another Hot Wheels purchase from a guy who doesn't collect them anymore.  lol  I kinda wanted to check them out if it was under $50(it was right at $50 from amazon, free shipping).  Even if I wasn't impressed with it, I figured I could stash it as investment, or give it away as a gift.

**I forgot to mention - These displays were supposed to be sold also through Walmart, Target & "other specialty stores"**

Initially, I wasn't even going to open this thing, but long story short: Thanks to yet another mishandling by USPS, I was forced to open it to inspect this one for damage.  Thankfully, not a scratch.  *phew*

On the back are the holes to hang the display on the wall.  Very cool.

Storable stand/feet if you want to display the cars on the desk, or counter.  Brilliant.

When I first saw the hot wheels 50 car display, it reminded me of this Tomica display case:
