Lol I actually was just gifted an IXO 1/43 190e. They shouldn't be too bad. Better then miasto and hotwheels for sure but expect to be under gt spirit.

thumper 10-25-2014 09:23 AM

so can you say it's about the same as otto mobile perhaps? i was looking at their vw lineup at wilkinson's and i thought they were pretty good resins but i can now see why gt spirit is noticeably better (and more expensive)...

i have to say that gt spirit has a great painter. i've seen pics online of the guy doing each model in a spray booth and then wet sand/polish by hand afterwards (unlike some like maisto which just go through a basic assembly line process) i have only four of their cars and all of them are really well done. even autoart isn't this good.

i am depressed right now. the auction for the red one when into the morning hours and i fell asleep :zzz:

... and it sold to someone else for $285... outbid me $35 :cry:

how much does the G-ZOX go for on the open marked these days 68style? because there is one on auction right now.

thumper 10-26-2014 06:01 AM

someone here has one of these but i have forgotten who:

http://auctions.c.yimg.jp/img149.auc...5wrnc25128.jpg

kyosho s30 fairlady (devil z from wangan midnight).

it's been discontinued for a long time, and almost never shows up for sale, but there is one that has gone up for auction. what is the going price for one of these on the open market?

(also would like to know how has it been holding up after all these years... i mentioned before i stopped buying kyosho because of bad paint from age)

Shit that's too bad man... G-ZOX is usually around $200USD, about double what the other sealed shells go for

tofu1413 10-26-2014 05:52 PM

last time ive seen they went for about 200 usd on ebay for the blue one. white one isnt worth as much I think

thumper 10-26-2014 06:24 PM

the blue one i am looking at right now is going for $550usd and climbing :eek:

there is a white one that is just under $300usd but it's not selling (gone through several reposts)...

Well, there's zero bids on the blue one so that price doesn't really mean much yet.

About $180 CAD, I might sell it because I am not really feeling the yellow. If you're interested in it you can just pay me what I paid.

180?! damn where did you find that?
I just ordered one 270 after taxes :(

thumper 10-27-2014 02:32 PM

i'm beginning to think that i'm not the one who needs an intervention :lol

thumper 10-28-2014 08:08 AM

question for you all... does anyone here have any experience with this place?

ezToys - Diecast Models and Collectibles - Thousands of Diecast Commercial Airliners & Military Aircraft Models ezToys - Diecast Models and Collectibles

based out of san diego CA. not really finding any negative reviews of the business in general... but the prices listed online look decent compared to ebay. i'm a little choked that what i thought was a great price for my black r35 gtr autoart is actually cheaper at this place:(

also there is a coupon (appears to be still valid):

10% off everything. - Eztoys.com Coupon :: CouponMeUp.com ::

if you have a US address, they also offer free shipping within the US for orders over $99 for a limited time.

so if it does look good... you're welcome?

(and if i just ruined someone's intervention... sorry :devil: )

!Kodamu 10-28-2014 01:31 PM

Damit thumper. All those links you posted are dangerous. I think I might order from eztoys once the blue carbon zonda comes out

thumper 10-28-2014 01:47 PM

what i am not sure is whether eztoys is actually set up for drop shipping directly from the manufacturer/distributor and does not actually have inventory, which could be an issue if something arrives broken/defective.

however, they do have a physical business (like wilkinson's) instead of just an online storefront...

kookoobird88 10-28-2014 08:46 PM

wtf great now i have to buy hundreds more in models lol damnit damnit damnit, my lambo is 100 dollars cheaper on there!
i wonder how much shipping is to canada....only one way to find out ;)

!Kodamu 10-28-2014 08:55 PM

I would just ship it to point Roberts or Blaine for the free shipping
