GreenLight Breaking Bad Jesse's 1982 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

GreenLight Breaking Bad Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Don't get me wrong, this is one of the coolest cars from one of the coolest shows. like, ever: "Breaking Bad"

But really, everybody knows that after the RV, the priorities were Jesse's Toyota Tercel, then Mr. White's Pontiac Aztek.  Everybody knows that.

Anywho, pics:

I don't like opening hoods for this reason.  Rather have resin head/taillights any day.

Hot Wheels ZAMAC Batman Classic TV Series Batmobile

Hot Wheels ZAMAC Batman Classic TV Series Batmobile

I really wanted this one.  Unfortunately, my Walmart apparently decided against bringing this series in.  They were going for too much money on eBay, but finally I had one seller who accepted my "offer" of $8.02 shipped, so here it is.  

I wish I could uncard it, but it's the only one I have + I think the card art looks better than the actual car, so the card stays.  :D

GreenLight Tarmac Works Yokohama/Advan Nissan GT-R(R35)

greenlight advan nissan gt-r

I've posted few GreenLight Nissan GT-R now, and I'm not a fan.  In my opinion, quality is poor, even for the price.  This Advan version though.... not bad.  If it was $6.99 like the regular GreenLight cars, I'd actually give is an "A", maybe A-.  Unfortunately, it was $17.80 on eBay.  I'd still give it maybe a "B" for that.  Livery's still very cool, and detailing seems to be cleaner looking than my other GreenLight Nissan GT-Rs.  Except the windshield.  I think GreenLight drags some of their plastic windshields through gravel, before installing them in their cars.

P.S.  Yokohama Tire's are based in Tokyo.  Sneaky bastards(I'm originally from Yokohama).

Tomica Limited Vintage LV-23b Hino RB 10 Keihan Bus + Some Rant on New TLVs

Tomica Limited Vintage LV-23b Hino RB 10 Keihan Bus

Recently, I've been venting about the price tag of the upcoming Isuzu Erga buses, also from the TLV(NEO) series.  Currently, the MSRP of these March(2017) releases are set at roughly $98, and the preorder price I've seen at $70, before shipping.

It's beautiful.  I have very little doubt that these things will be the best 1/64 scaled buses ever.  However, I have observed TLV collectors opinion split on the $70 preorder price tag.  Sure, some were unfazed by it, but many collectors were in for quite a sticker shock, myself included. 

Collectors who know me, they know how much I love TLV buses.  I've even paid $100 for one of those older, coveted buses.  But $70 + shipping for preorder on a upcoming release?  Until this point, I've said "no", I won't be getting this.  Right at this moment?  I'm on the fence.  I do have this blog, and however small, I do have people checking stuff out everyday.  We'll see.

- Rant Over - 

So this bus, I paid $60, and that includes the shipping.  Before start going "OMG, that's only $10 difference, stop being such a drama queen!"(lol), the bus itself was $47.  It's a old, rare & coveted bus at that.  :D  Okay, pics:

From the Hot Wheels Night Burnerz 5-Pack: Nissan Skyline GT-R(R32) + VW New Beetle Cup

hot wheels 5-pack exclusive nissan skyline gt-r

I bought the 5-pack just for this Skyline.  It's  a 5-pack exclusive, so I thought "why not?".  It's $5, I can give the rest of the cars to my nephews.
