The Toy Peddler 23 Year Anniversary Custom '64 (Nova) Wagon Gasser by Nuclear Mindz Design

First of all, congratulations to the Toy Peddler.  Happy 23rd anniversary.  If you haven't joined TTP already, you are missing out.  Great sellers, good deals.  Just like with eBay, sometimes.... STEALS. *drool*

Anywho, I started seeing these ads on TTP late May:

These were the pics:

At first, gold seems bit much.  I'm crushing on the regular.  By the time of the sale, gold has grown on me..... but since they are listing these at random times throughout the day, I'm banking on the very first listings.  I'll get on first thing in the morning, I'll take whatever I can get.  Here's gold artwork & card.  Viewtiful amirite.

Cool gimmick on the chase card.

So the Saturday morning.  First day of sale.  I get on at 8 am, *refresh*, *refresh*, *refresh*....  you get the idea.  I think it was 8:08?  one drops, I snatch that sucker & complete checkout process.  It's a regular.  $55.  Not the chase, but it's still limited to 50.  I was stoked.

It arrived today & much props to Hot Wheels, Lee Allen & Nuclear Mindz Design for this amazing custom.  I was surprised to find that it looks even better in person.  Check it out:

Love the artwork.  Cool sticker.

Autographed, hand numbered card.  Autographed & laminated sheet.  Cool sticker I wish they threw in couple more of(it's so cool! lol).  It's almost overwhelming.  Again, congrats to TTP.  23 years later, still going so strong!  Hot Wheel collectors & sellers, if you haven't already, JOIN.   :)

CUSTOM: Tomica Limited Vintage LV-21a Toyopet Crown Wagon by Joe Kanno/NDZM23

He's amazing, guys.  Check out his customs:

YouTube - Facebook - Instagram - Twitter

So I blogged the Datsun truck custom from Joe couple of weeks ago.  This is the second custom from the same order.  I'm into lowriders, so I am digging this one little extra.  *heartbeat*

We're not worthy!  We're not worthy!  lol

What a beauty.  Srsly.

CUSTOM: Tomica Limited Vintage LV-15C Datsun 1200 Truck "Nissan Service" by Joe Kanno/NDZM23

I.  Have.  New.  Customs.  By Joe KANNO!!!  XD

If you search "joe kanno" on this blog, you will see that I have handful of customs from Joe.  I've been a fan of his, ever since I saw his "rust" customs on Twitter.  While he's starting up his Twitter account again, he's been active mostly on Facebook & Instagram.  If you like Hot Wheels, if you like Tomicas, do yourself a favor & check out his latest works.  

So, this Nissan Service custom.  It's a mini-diorama!  And dare I say.....  I think Joe's customs are getting even more amazing than before.  On my blog, it's all macro shots.  You see things up close, but you also see lots of flaws.  With his customs, I just see more beautiful little details.  Diorama's the same way.  Well detailed & beautiful:

This is one of the two cars I ordered from Joe this time around.  Both arrived in cases like these, safe & sound, all the way from Japan.  Very pleased with care given on shipping.  :)

I adore the accessory detailing given inside the pickup bed.  Absolutely money.

For reference, let us borrow a picture from Japan Booster(buy TLVs here.  They are the bestest! XD)

Mindblowing amirite.

Only things that sucks in here's my lack of photography skills.  lol  Since last time I posted one of Joe's cars, he has deservedly become a big time customizer when his work was noticed by John from Lamley.  As a collector & fan of Joe's works, I couldn't be more excited!  :D
