is that where most ppl buy theres? would you guys say ebay is an alright place to save a few bucks? most of the time i can only find 10-20$ savings if that, almost better to spend the extra incase it gets damaged during shipping

Hey if you guys are interested the site I bought my Initial D model from is having another pre-order at a good price for the "re-release"... jump on it fast they run out of stock crazy fast for stuff on this site... shipping is very reasonable too..... I think mine ended up costing about $150 or so CDN:

Ive got probably 200+ of them loool, I remember even back then I'd research the most rare editions and I would kill my mom going from store to store till I found the one.

All my childhood toys are now gone from my mom giving them all away, all my hotwheels are stored in 2 diecast car carrying cases in my closet.

Picked up this vintage Tomy car carrier a little bit ago on a bit of a whim, really happy with it... surprising thing to me is the entire trailer is made of metal, not plastic! Great build quality and detailing... has little wheel chalk areas and dips for the tires of the cars to go into so they don't roll around free when loaded and the ramp goes down for loading. The truck has mirrors to attach but they're separated in the box for storage so I didn't put them on for the pictures.

It's quite a bit bigger than I expected actually! Would have preferred a dark navy blue or maybe a dark grey, but the green suits the period I guess and is growing on me:

Just enough clearance to roll the NSX-R on without scraping:

Load 'er up! It can take 5 cars no problem despite the fact both those cars are Kyosho not Tomica... should have used something more period like a Toyota 2000GT but most of them are in packages:

these were the cars that first got me into diecast: vintage 1:18 jada. as the story (i heard) goes, once upon a time jada toys started getting into diecast cars like these. the yellow celica i think was based on a real car that was in an issue of import racer (are they still around?). they came with tons of extra aftermarket (tuner/ricer) parts and you can build it up to your own spec.... and then suddenly something hit the fan over the sponsorship decals the cars came with and then they stopped selling them :(

I have 1 partial regret -

I had a 1:18 MKIV Kyosho Supra Turbo in Silver LHD. Yes, that one, the first edition one.

I bought it at Wilkinson's for $80 wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back in the day (I think it was 1996). I sold it for about $180 a few years later, but now I kinda regret it. Not because it's worth more now (Which it is) but it was a good rare model.

yes. well, sort of.

this was back in the day when i was more clueless than i am now i didn't understand what an "error car" was.

there used to be an rc hobby shop in surrey the had a decent selection of diecast (i've since forgotten the name of the shop).

they had a first edition kyosho skyline gt-r group A calsonic car that had a error in the sponsorship decals.

i brought it back to the shop asking for replacement because i considered it to be defective. they didn't have a replacement and offered to discount it for me but i took a refund instead.

couple of months later i'm reading a message board forum about high-value error cars and the calsonic i returned was one of them. it's now worth hundreds of dollars more than what i originally would have paid for it... FML :cry:

so now i keep trying to pay more attention to what i buy. i'm not trying to stuff my shelves, and i limit myself to 1st editions if possible (unless there are future releases that are significantly better), or has personal significance, which makes me reluctant to sell...

as for your kyosho... i call it part of the "kyosho gang of four", ie. 300zx/supra/nsx/rx7. they were a big deal back then but by today's standards they are barely maisto quality, but worth hundreds of $$$ more. they are all practically blue chip investments on the collector front.

go figure.

i know someone who got the original 300zx as a gift that he won't sell to me. he's not even a collector and he dosen't deserve it and it should be miiine lol. at least he knows enough not to take it out of the box and it's still sealed.

i've known him for at least 15 years and it's been on his desk at work (he's changed jobs 3 times now) or sitting on his fireplace mantle (he's moved twice)... and once as a doorstop(!). that bastard leaves it out for me to see just to mock me i swear. he says he will leave it in his will to donate to charity instead of me, and should it ever disappear one day he'll know who to hunt down.

i bought it at wilkinsons. you can see it on their website.

if you want my r33, which i said before i didn't really want to sell, the price for it will be $150 so that i can replace it with a z-tune :Devil:

otherwise, wilkinsons has it for $130 and if you preorder now they will get it to you with their next autoart shipment in 4 weeks time.

according to their latest email flyer, wilkinsons is changing their business model. they are going to start carrying less inventory and do more pre-orders from now on. that way they don't run out of space like they are now and they aren't stuck with stock that won't sell.

Autoart just listed the Spirit R for Pre-order. ;)

I haven't been able to find a preview picture of which blue they are releasing it in... just the white, dark grey and black... have a feeling it should be this blue since it's the one from the actual car... but that's too bad because I love the midnight blue/almost purple colour on the RX-7...

I'd love to see that... but I'd have to guess no since it would paint them into a corner of having to do ones of every Initial-D car like the Lancer, Skyline and a few AA doesn't have moulds for like the 2nd gen RX7 or MR2...

On that note, I've never been able to figure out why there's no 1:18 of a MR2 NA/Turbo ever been made... it's almost bizarre.

is that a bad thing? if sales of the initial-d ae86 are any indication, they would have a sales hit if they did them all imo.

Minichamps makes most of the bike models that are good quality and the MotoGP ones... IXO also makes a lot in a really small scale (slips my mind right now) and those are very nice, I have a couple of those...

The rest are all the Maisto-type that were filling up Superstore a couple years back... passable... cheap price... but certainly not nice or high-quality.

I don't think the demand for the non AE-86 models is that good, especially outside of Japan... I mean... Jada didn't stay in the Initial-D business very long with its 1:64/1:43 lineup... they're only worth a lot now because of how short the production run ended up being.

it really depends what you're after...shelf presence...detail...wide variety/selection...rarity

This site is selling it for $150cdn

AmiAmi [Character & Hobby Shop] | 1/18 Scale Diecast Model Car Mazda RX-7 (FD) Spirit R Type A (White)(Preorder) (http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-SCL2-28497&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Drx-7%24pagemax%3D20%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1)

Shipping isn't that much if you choose the cheapest option when it's time to pay for your order... like $15 or something if I recall for a single model

Save about $50 or so?

[edit]Man, some of the prices for AutoArt are getting downright silly... $330 for the MC12 race version??? Come on...

$200 for the 1:43 of the McLaren???????????? Yah it's a "Signature" release but aiyaaaa

77336 1/18 – Millennium Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) V-Spec II Upgraded, Sparkling Silver

hmm... another limited release car that may sky rocket in price...?

(like the ralliart evo 9 and Z tune R34...)

i'm not sure. the first release models are always a sure bet depending on the popularity of the car but later releases... i don't know? for example "upgraded" in this case is mostly just the addition of the front side windows... the first release r34 base model i have has no windows.
