Rewdalf Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Don't know why I hesitated to post here for so long... Guess it's because I have so many, and photo-ing them all would take me forever... So, here's most of the collection. If you see anything you like and want a better picture of it, I'd be more than happy to take it aside and do a better job of focusing my crappy phone camera. I've been grabbing cars for as long as I can remember, ever since I moved to the united states when I was five... Yeah, most of them are open. I used to play with the little ones non-stop, and they're all still in pretty good condition. Now though, since I have a semi-steady income they just don't stop coming... After I got my actual car and realized I was an adult who could buy whatever the hell I wanted, well... This is pic-heavy The absolute newest ones, most still in box. Still don't know when or if I'll open these. Got some micro machines up there too. Don't remember where or how I got them, but I've had them forever. I was particularly excited when I found the Lamborghini LM002. I love this thing to death. Also grabbed that Porsche 356 because of the factory defect. It's sitting in the box upside-down. I love Porsches to death. This has to be one of my favorite years. Though it was a cheap pharmacy find, so it's missing the door mirror... Those are next in line, I still think of them as new even though some are over two years old. And as I climb the shelves they get older and older... Fun fact, I found that Honda Rigline with the camper trailer at a target sitting out of the box on a shelf, and... well yeah, I took it... And at the top, the absolute oldest. Some of them are actually from my cousin. The Fiat Abarth is from 1982 and made in Bulgaria. The Ferrari 308 GTB next to it was from 1981 and a gift from a friend. Just recently picked that up. I was on vacation back home, but had flight troubles which resulted me getting stuck in Warsaw for seven hours. So I made good use of my time and picked up souvenirs. The bigger models, not organized at all as you can see. Really need to get around to doing that... And that's the last of them in the closet... Also have some planes too. They're pretty nice. Yeah, this is how many cars I would have if I could ever afford it...

owl-man Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Say, what brand is that Giallo Orion Murcielago model? I had one just like it but the rear wheel snapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewdalf Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Ah, while it looks yellow it's more of an orange actually. It's a Burago model, possibly my favorite brand. Made in Italy, 1/18 scale. They focus a lot more attention to detail. The doors have little hinges and "lock." You pull a tiny tab to open them and they're on springs to come up. While it doesn't have working suspension like the green one I've got, the drivetrain is a lot more detailed. EDIT: Actually, while looking at my green one which is a Maisto, I take that back. The suspension not only works, but the rear has little rubber CVs attached to the wheel, and the engine is a lot more detailed than the Burago model.

Rewdalf Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I wanna see more of that Isuzu Rodeo. Funny thing is, it's actually an Opel Frontera. Which basically is an Isuzu Rodeo. I got this one from Europe years ago. It's a 1:43 scale, made by a company called "GAMA." The Opel Corsa is also from the same company and store. unbid and Flachbau 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDuke Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) New big ass wheels for my MadForce. *EDIT* Resprayed the yellow rims to make them look more like USA-1 wheels. Edited August 18, 2016 by HeavyDuke Flachbau 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewdalf Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Yeah, I've got a yellow "Custom '01 Acura Integra GSR." Not sure if that car is a 2017 model, or if it's just the livery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flachbau Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 The variation is new for 2017, aka the rims and the livery. The Integra has been in many cases this year in either yellow or white. I have both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDuke Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Big wheels felt a little to big for the 1/8 Mad Force. So i put them on my 1/7 scale USA-1 Carson Black Phantom: Installing the brand new 5cc Nitro engine upcoming weekend. Old engine is going on a buggy. Also replaced the front diff of one of my monster trucks. Gears were gone. Edited August 24, 2016 by HeavyDuke Flachbau 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyDuke Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Those big Graupner xxl tires felt a bit to heavy for the MadForce IMO. Went through my tire box and added Megaforces instead. They are a bit lighter. PS, i never liked those big rimmed truggies you see for sale everywere. So this is my own vission of how a truggy should look.

owl-man Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Did I miss all the special series or something? Nothing apart from regular stuff around, only thing that was interesting was this Mustang I found at Target. Flachbau and Murciélago 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AusSantos Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I grabbed that Mustang a few weeks ago in Big W. Quite fond of it, then my daughter managed to get a hold of it. It still looks mostly the same, just some serious positive camber issues on the front left wheel.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marco6158 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) My new Renault miniatures arrived from France just this morning! Now my little Renault collection is nearly completed (at least with modern cars). I need the Clio 4 and the new Scenic and the Kadjar. Probally some more I can't even remind now, but eh the ones I prefer are there. Some of them aren't perfect because they're pretty old, I just decide the other day I wanted to use my new Ikea thing for Renaults so I had to search for them around. I also have a lot more cars (not only Renaults) that goes from 1:150 to 1:18 but I have too many, can't post them all Edited September 5, 2016 by marco6158 Flachbau and Ocelot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl-man Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Three questions about Hot Wheels: What's your favorite Hot Wheels casting? What is your favorite retired Hot Wheels car? Do you think that the newer HW fantasy cars aren't as good as the older ones? Personally I really like Evil Twin, probably going to get another FE one and wheel swap it with some wheels from the Real Riders series.

Do you think that the newer HW fantasy cars aren't as good as the older ones? Personally I really like Evil Twin, probably going to get another FE one and wheel swap it with some wheels from the Real Riders series.Favorite casting would be either the '17 GT or in case we're talking about older ones... Deora II I guess? I also quite like the Twin Mill and the Bone Shaker. As for retired castings, I'm not too sure to be honest. Possibly the Deora once again since it's been a while since I last saw one. Is it even retired? I do think there are some pretty terrible fantasy castings, like the Grease Rod which somehow is a regular TH. But there's been some pretty memorable ones, like the Time Attaxi or the Drifsta.

Murciélago Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Can't believe I found this, apparently there are only 40 sets worldwide. It was $17.99 but I obviously wasn't gonna leave a green machine (or 5) behind. marco6158 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two: Regarding of HotWheels fantasy car, I can't say if the new ones are worse because I'm not really a fan of the Fantasy line. Although I was first introduced to HotWheels back in 1999, I think the older ones have more charm, especially the near-realistic Fantasy car (Muscle Tone, Switchback, MST Suzuka, etc.) Edited September 7, 2016 by unbid owl-man and Flachbau 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I got mine from a police pack since it's got a livery on it, but it's badly scratched up since I did a lot of playing with it as a kid. Never had the bed cover for it though... I remember a friend of mine had one for his, and it fit perfectly on mine as well. Flachbau 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl-man Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Found out one of the kids had taken my old Muscle Tone out into the driveway, now has a smashed in roof. At least it wasn't a Highway 35 one though, or my trusty Monte Carlo Concept. If it was the MCC it would have broken the car because of how bloody strong the damn thing is, this thing chipped off a large part of a brick I threw it at once: This thing was so good at primary school smash battles the other kids banned me from using it, so they indirectly caused my 16 Angels to get super damaged.

unbid Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Bought these three for $22 (from $20 each) The red Isuzu has missing side mirror, but I can easily fix that. The beauty of warehouse sale is all the cars are WAY cheaper than retail, and most of them are products that were off the shelves from retail store. EDIT: fixed the side mirror on the Isuzu: Not a clean job, but it works.
