Hot Wheels Super Chromes Morris Minor..... You Mean "Mini"?

This Mini was part of the ten car set(I believe a Target exclusive), and for whatever reason, according to the pictures of the set I could find online, it says the car is "Morris Minor".  I don't know what's going on there.  Pic from the listing I bought:

lol

I have the carded single version here, but I always preferred the livery of this ten car set version.  I got mine from this seller on TTP for $27, shipped.  When I got the carded one, I guess it was $10 + shipping, so yes, market value of these Super Chrome's been up & up.

Another one I can scratch off my wishlist!

Toyota TS030 Hybrid No.8 2nd Le Mans 2013 S. Buemi - A. Davidson - S. Sarrazin

I think the quality's just about right for the price?  I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to buy these, but if you are fan of the specific car/model, they'd be alright.  I got this one from amiami for roughly $13 + shipping(sold out for now).

Took bunch of pictures, because this thing got curves & lines everywhere on the body:

Interesting looking car!

M2 Walmart Exclusive "Auto-日本" 1971 Nissan Skyline GT-R カスタム

I had to share this.  From my online home planet.

Casey posted this in the hot wheels thread on GTPlanet.  Sure, the car's cool.  M2 finally doing Japanese cars.  At least for me, it doesn't get much better than that, but these pictures are just perfect amirite.

I think the figure's from the TLV's Super Silhouette cars?  With the hood open, this second shot is just so $$$MONEY$$$.  XD

Bugzees64 ARTA NSX CONCEPT-GT No.8 SUPER GT 2014

This is my second Bugzees64 model.  First one was the Calsonic IMPUL GT-R, back in Spring of 2016.  I preordered this NSX soon after getting that GT-R, which means that this whole preorder process took a little over a year.  

After the delays, I'm just glad they handled it the right way & delivered a good looking model, and not some ugly looking mess!  :D

Gorgeous base w/plaque.

My buddy Andy from Epic Collage noted about some sort of decal job for the grille, but it looks fine to me, at least on this one.

Thought the car would be more red.  I wish it was more red.  :(

Decal/tampo process causes glare from the lighting, but it's fine if you are just viewing under normal light.

I got about what I expected.  Saying a lot when one of these cars go for $30 or more,  It's definitely a premium quality 1/64 diecast!

M2 vs TLV Nissan Bluebird: M2 Walmart Exclusive Auto-japan 1969 Nissan Bluebird 1600 SSS Sequel

Earlier this evening, I was snapping away pics of the new M2 Nissan Bluebird to do this post.  I then realize how small this new casting is compared to typical M2 castings.  M2 cars are usually little big for 1/64.  

I quickly grabbed one of the Tomica Limited Vintage Bluebird castings & what I saw was unbelievable:

I suspected it, but didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes.  They are nearly identical in scale!  Never thought I'd see the day:  TLV versus M2!!

Really liking the effort by M2 here.  I'm sure these things are selling for $6(M2 normally do, I paid $14-ish on eBay), and the model is remarkable for that.  My hat is off to M2.

Bonus Stage:

Any self-respecting collector would recognize the big bastard on the left.  It's the Hot Wheels Track Day  510/Bluebird.

Love all three to be honest.
