[sinful lynx]

[short turret]

Because the shop I went to is a model shop

All of which were a tad expensive

Going to another model shop

[lavish arch]

New RLC releases

[radiant hedge]

[short turret]

Fucking hell @radiant hedge @lavish arch @sinful lynx @patent jewel @remote juniper @half basin

These are a bit pricey no?

[remote juniper]

are they real lego?

[short turret]

No

Minibricks

That seems to be the brand name

[patent jewel]

Interesting

[half basin]

They are the Aliexpress lego I shown you before

Similar quality tbh

Same size as real lego so they are interchangeable

[remote juniper]

It would be cool if they sold the instructions

although couldn't you use bricklinked or whatever it was actually

[short turret]

How much are those

[half basin]

Around 30?

[short turret]

Ah

[half basin]

They do

They sell instructions

And then others sell whole kits with offbrand or real lego

But you can also just buy the instructions and source them yourself from Lego directly

[muted jungle]

bet the doors are broken

[lavish arch]

On creations.mattel.com

They are exclusive though, so be ready to pay 10 bucks a year for the membership

[short turret]

Ken Couture doll

[short turret]

[lavish arch]

Haha, no. Those are new though

[lavish arch]

You are pretty much guaranteed. I got every single one I wanted

Just don't be a lazy aimee lol

[short turret]

[lavish arch]

Just log in, save your card info, be ready and you're good

[short turret]

How much are the actual cars

[radiant hedge]

[lavish arch]

They vary from the castings. The usual cars in cards are around 20 - 30 and the high-end ones like that E-Type are 35 - 40

[radiant hedge]

This is the only best strat you gotta follow or else youre about to lose the chance

[short turret]

Brah

[lavish arch]

Oh yeah. I'm always prepared on 17:55, always be there 5 minutes early!

[lavish arch]

This one is an r34, I can guarantee it's gonna be gone in 1 - 2 minutes

@radiant hedge @short turret

[short turret]

Damn

[radiant hedge]

My kaido house R34 already beated that thing lmao

[lavish arch]

Fucking hell AUTOart cars are expensive

[radiant hedge]

Depends

[short turret]

There was a damaged one fucking £140

[radiant hedge]

Some sell it for way more or way less

[radiant hedge]

I dont think i will ever buy one

Im pretty happy with how my LCD 600LT came out as which i got for 95€

[short turret]

I might get a model bus

[radiant hedge]

I will try finding a good model not sure which one tho

Bburago just disappointment

And some of their scales are inaccurate too

Atleast never going for a resin model

Not worth it tho they are extremely fragile and break super easily but damn insanely detailed sure they are

[radiant hedge]

Arriva🗣️🔥

[short turret]

Y'all have Arriva over there?

DB sold them to some American company

[radiant hedge]

[jade pagoda]

Busso

[short turret]

They like busses too?

[jade pagoda]

She loves them yeah.

Well not as much as trains

[short turret]

Fairs

I like buses that look cool

I don't like buses that are uncomfortable and have no leg room

Aka the fucking Mercedes Sprinters that Arriva likes to use sometimes in my town

These twats

@jade pagoda @radiant hedge Arriva use these little bastards over here in UK lol

Bus looks nice but is horribly uncomfortable

[jade pagoda]

Seems to be the Mercedes Sprinter

[jade pagoda]

I mean if it's meant for short distance travels, i guess it is fine.

[short turret]

The fuckers used to just chuck it on the busy routes

[jade pagoda]

Damn, that's not good then.

[short turret]

Epic image fail

[scarlet scarab]

I finally had another decent hunt today. I know these have been out a while already, but I hadn't had the chance to pick it up until today.

Two reasons.
1.) Money
2.) Scalpers

[short turret]

Gimme the Miata

[scarlet scarab]

Can you handle international shipping? Lol

[short turret]

Lmaooo I'm joking anyway

[scarlet scarab]

Yea, I know. Lol

[radiant hedge]

shipping cost? never

the - point towards shipping internationally

[scarlet scarab]

I'm glad to finally have a Pandem/Rocket Bunny FC, tho

[radiant hedge]

[scarlet scarab]

I was on the bus and it started moving when I took the picture. I'll try again once I'm home

[jade pagoda]

[radiant hedge]

[jade pagoda]

Bruh...

[radiant hedge]

yeah it sounds alot but it isnt im still trying to find the best lookings lmao

[jade pagoda]

BRO IT IS ALOT

YOU HAVE A SHIT TON OF TOYS

[radiant hedge]

oh i had the other 2 for months

[jade pagoda]

BE GRATEFUL

YOU FUCK

[radiant hedge]

i will

[jade pagoda]

I can't even have one 😭

[radiant hedge]

if i ever knew how to ship i would gladly send you one

ill let you choose then

[jade pagoda]

For real? Or are you just gesturing?

[radiant hedge]

nahh im serious

[jade pagoda]

Damn, now I am considering talking to you and planning on how to do the shipping
it'd be too much cost anyway

[radiant hedge]

true

i always wonder how much it costs to even ship it from here all the way to you

first i need a printer then need to have a sticker machine or something to put the adress and boom pack it in bubble wrap inside and i can send it

not even sure how to send it to that specific location but would be nice to know

[jade pagoda]

It's not an impossible ordeal, but it would definitely be rather difficult
Especially since it is Iran we're talking about, a rather cagey country
Plus I don't know where you are, so depending on where you are it may become impossible

[radiant hedge]

i do live in the netherlands so it shouldnt be all too hard to ship it

you live somewhere in asia or north america?

or europe then its easy and does get shipped faster

[jade pagoda]

Iran, middle east in Asia.

[radiant hedge]

hmm i see

that shouldnt be a problem then other than waiting lol

[jade pagoda]

I don't know man.

On one hand, I don't want to turn down this offer of yours, but I also don't want to trouble you because I know it will trouble you.

[radiant hedge]

well it shouldnt be all too hard but with iran you never know

is the war still going? is it that bad or not really?

getting a small box and bubble wrap is easy got enough at work i can ask for

[jade pagoda]

There's no war in iran

[jade pagoda]

If you're willing to actually part away with it, then I really wouldn't know how to thank you
I am really sorry for troubling you, you really don't have to do anything.

I am not turning you down but I don't want to trouble you either

[lavish arch]

Waaaaouh

Sick

[radiant hedge]

nah no worries man its totally fine

you deserve getting a car

a small one ofc lol

[radiant hedge]

its all good, i just feel great giving you something cool because you cant have one yourself

[jade pagoda]

I.. have been having a hard time taking this seriously, but you're actually being serious it seems.

I wish I could pay somehow.

[radiant hedge]

nah no need to pay its all for free no worries

its a happy gift

[jade pagoda]

Why are you willing to do this though?

[radiant hedge]

mostly i need to clean up my whole collection im trying to get rid of some since its just in the way a bit, and you always seem to be suprised at what we all share here and feel bad you dont have a single one

and giving something the other person cant afford or cant get themself one is a great achievement to happiness.

and you can always remember seeing the gift you got from someone

[jade pagoda]

I'll be forever in debt to you if you actually do it

This sort of kindness is genuinely rare to come by

Ditto showed such to me too alot

[radiant hedge]

You're so damn welcome lol

[short turret]

I would buy some off you but that would involve giving out my address which I nono wanna

And a PO Box costs money here

£42 a month 💀

[radiant hedge]

fr

[radiant hedge]

let me know where you live im about to send the fbi after you👁️ 👁️

[short turret]

I nono wanna

[radiant hedge]

shipping to you will be extremely easy tho

since its basically over the north sea

from here

[short turret]

How much would shipping even cost tho, international shipping is usually expensive and I'd probably end up being better off just buying one normally lol

[radiant hedge]

thats the thing i dont know much lmao

[short turret]

Lol

[short turret]

Just a random postcode I got from searching UK postcode example "SW1W 0NY" check on a delivery company website that you'd use lol

It's a London postcode so close enough to me to see a fairly close price

[radiant hedge]

i see

i got my minigt acrylic case from the uk and i think the ones who send it here was uhhh royal mail or something

[short turret]

Fairs

They usually charge much less for shipping than an individual doing it tho tbf

[radiant hedge]

royal mail is pretty easy to see its nice they didnt made it complicated to see everything

[short turret]

Fuckers kept going on strike a while back lol

[radiant hedge]

why

[short turret]

Apparently not getting paid enough

Idfk

Everyone always complaining about some shit here

Countries fucked

[radiant hedge]

damn

[short turret]

Train drivers keep striking too

It's a very frequent thing here

[radiant hedge]

rip

[short turret]

Gotta keep an eye on travel sites and social media to see who's going on strike lol

[short turret]

Train drivers will always find something to complain about tbf

[radiant hedge]

true

[short turret]

They complain about not getting paid enough, eventually the company caves and pays them more and then a few weeks later they're back to complaining they don't get paid enough

[radiant hedge]

damn seems like its not enough or just they overcomplain everytime

[fossil matrix]

Moar cars

[patent jewel]

What are the two cars on the left?

[half basin]

SP2 and a Camaro

[patent jewel]

The green one is a camaro 😳

[half basin]

Its a one off Happy Meal car from 1993

I had one as a kid

They never released it in other colors or in any other way than Happy Meal

[patent jewel]

I am teleporting to somewhere, not near you and stealing it

[drowsy sparrow]

The SP2 is nice looking

[patent jewel]

Basically like a Camaro trans am kinda car, needs some numbers on the side and sponsors

[half basin]

It holds childhood significance

[half basin]

It's an actual Camaro

It's not a fictional car

Doesn't have it written on the casting but it was on the plastic wrapping back in the day

[patent jewel]

I think I still have some McDonald’s hot wheels somewhere

[drowsy sparrow]

I never got any McDonald's Hot Wheels

interestingly enough

[patent jewel]

I know I have a 90s drag funny car, but I have some others as well

I have a purple light up one, and a black light up McDonald’s hot wheels

Also apparently I had a blue one it seems

One of em I own

[drowsy sparrow]

that is a funny car

[radiant hedge]

Spider car

[short turret]

Yooo, I have the police BMW too

[muted jungle]

need to get a diorama ngl

[radiant hedge]

I have a few 1/64 diorama figures not sure when to use them but they sure do make the place more alive

[half basin]

You can print paper dioramas

And then glue them to cardboard

[radiant hedge]

Sorry i dont have a printer

But aint a bad idea

[muted jungle]

i have a printer

im just lazy

[scarlet scarab]

I completely forgot to share this last week

[modern dagger]

[scarlet scarab]

Obviously a background car, but still a new model (probably)

[radiant hedge]

A Soarer????!?!?!?!?!

W

[muted jungle]

new buy

guy selling it has never sold anything before

man valued it cheap

although the transac is taking extremely long

[jade pagoda]

damn

[radiant hedge]

Yooo finally

Also have it

Youre lucky tho people either sell them for so much or its too hard to find

Thats infact old liberty walk castings

They are getting harder and rarer

[muted jungle]

bruh

Dude changed his mind and gave me back my money

[radiant hedge]

L

[muted jungle]

ok thats pretty cool

poprace has been releasing bangers lately

[scarlet scarab]

I hope i can find that Jetta for today's hunt.

[scarlet scarab]

Yeah? Well I got a Pink Slip Dark Horse.

The pink one?

[drowsy sparrow]

[scarlet scarab]

I didn't do that yet

[drowsy sparrow]

oh wait i'm thinking of chilly lmao

[empty dust]

Yeah, I recreated it.

[short turret]

Probably realised it's worth more

Or maybe realised it holds some sentimental value and decided not to get rid of it

[radiant hedge]

because it is

its a realy early(old) casting which i have it too

but for a mid price but better than nothing

i normally would never spend more then 30 euros on a minigt unless its one of those china/Hong Kong or Malaysia exclusive which are pretty dope no joke

[muted jungle]

just won

dont know if its worth much

bought for 10 bucks

[half basin]

Its woreth like 10 bucks

[muted jungle]

damn, saved 8

[radiant hedge]

Im jealouse

MY MAN you got that R34 Pace car sickk

[muted jungle]

[compact widget]

Big cors

[radiant hedge]

Massive cors

[jade pagoda]

man.. lucky you..

[modern dagger]

unfortunately I am missing some tools and paint

biggest issue is I may or may not be able to afford it all

but I could probably cut off the paper and just paint inside of the boxes

[jade pagoda]

You have the kits now, so you'll at least have something to do when you can do them

[muted jungle]

nice

i was gonna win the accord but they decided that i didnt win

[radiant hedge]

Rip

[muted jungle]

[short turret]

Oooh I really want a Valkyrie

Or a Valhalla

[scarlet scarab]

Going on another quick hunt today. Let's hope I can find more cars

[scarlet scarab]

My luck continues

[radiant hedge]

nice

[scarlet scarab]

I'm only looking for 6 of the 8 cars in this wave. This makes 1 car left to find.

I could go with or without the 911 or the C7

[half basin]

I don't like the neon colors of this line

[radiant hedge]

it looks a bit odd

[modern dagger]

this hurts but I gotta sand it

[jade pagoda]

Why? You want to paint it a different colorm

[modern dagger]

yeah

[radiant hedge]

interesting

cant wait to see the end results

[modern dagger]

it's unpainted, just grey

I'mma make it white

and the FD is gonna be yellow

[radiant hedge]

nice

[jade pagoda]

I don't want to hate
But I do hate you so much for being able to do all of this when I always wanted to as well

[radiant hedge]

real

[jade pagoda]

I'm gonna fuckkng off myself

[radiant hedge]

just use a cannon launch yourself and get come here

[jade pagoda]

I'd rather just choose the quick way out instead..

[modern dagger]

Am I not allowed to be happy 😭

[jade pagoda]

I'm not saying you're not

I'm just saying I'm not allowed to be happy

[radiant hedge]

ofc you are allowed

[jade pagoda]

Nu

[modern dagger]

looks awful tbh

its got spots and drips everywhere

but hopefully I'll have the hang of it by the time it's finished so the RX-7 can get better treatmenr

[jade pagoda]

You'll need to.pajnt it a few times for it to become even, so.dont worry

[radiant hedge]

atleast you need 2 layers of paint

[lavish arch]

my man you need different stages of Sanding paper

at LEAST something more fine than your file

[modern dagger]

i had numerous files lol

i used them, just not well but eh

[lavish arch]

what strength was the grit?

[modern dagger]

i dunno, i went off of feel lmoa

[remote juniper]

get some fine sandpaper and give it a coat, bring it back, then another coat and repeat until your paint is flat

it's gonna take you some time

[muted jungle]

4 new orders

i swore i would never buy the same casting with a diffrent design

yet here we are

[jade pagoda]

Christ..

[muted jungle]

i need to stoo

[radiant hedge]

Thats pretty lame

[radiant hedge]

Niceee

[half basin]

Got some cool stuff on order

[short turret]

Ooh I want that SZ

[remote juniper]

Kinda want an 850i

[short turret]

[radiant hedge]

Excuse me wtf????

Ok that gotta be one of the sickest minigt's out there holy shit

LB 720S

[half basin]

Yes

[muted jungle]

pesos

8 euros

[short turret]

Ohh

[fossil matrix]

oh yo I have that exact CHallenger

Had this Charger for upwards of 15 years now

A lot of my models are showing thier age

[half basin]

Cool

[patent jewel]

I also have that blue maverick and a yellow one as well

[patent jewel]

@eternal pewter porkies

[fossil matrix]

its nice aint it

[patent jewel]

Indeed

Fits well with my other muscle cars

Same with my hotwheels chevy vega

[fossil matrix]

Combination of Hot Wheels and Matchbox here

[drowsy sparrow]

What a collection

[half basin]

Woooooo

You got some cool ass cars

[fossil matrix]

thats what being an on and off collector since birth does

I used to be really into this stuff but now when I get hot wheels I get them by trading with my cousin lol

or I pick one up when im out at the store

thats where the Firebird right at the back came from (the white one)

[half basin]

I would definitely steal the Dart and Elise if I visited your house

[fossil matrix]

Dart?

My dart isnt there, I think its in another box

[half basin]

I think

[fossil matrix]

thats a Plymouth

cant remember which one

[half basin]

Ah

[patent jewel]

I have the elise in black

[half basin]

My bad

[fossil matrix]

Barracuda I think

ever since I started collecting ive preferred concept cars and that shows

[patent jewel]

Also stole one of my 599s, my Bentley and my ford falcon race car, give em back

[half basin]

I collect all the real cars

[fossil matrix]

Ford GR-1, Lamo Estoque, VW SP1, that lotus one which I forgot the name of

[half basin]

Except trucks

Those are meh

[fossil matrix]

Im keepin that Bentley its got a crack in it

no clue how

[patent jewel]

Get a Cadillac Cien

[fossil matrix]

I try to just collect real cars but some fictional ones really catch my eye sometimes

[patent jewel]

That is the same for me

[fossil matrix]

I DO actually

its just in another box

[patent jewel]

Noice

[fossil matrix]

Blue one with the translucent tires

[patent jewel]

I have it in a regular form and a cop car form

My regular is silver

[fossil matrix]

Theres a lot that I like that arent out there

like my Cop Car Mustang Concept

[patent jewel]

I have that as well in white

[fossil matrix]

mines blackl

[patent jewel]

But also matchbox did a regular version of the mustang concept

And I have it in like a burnt orange

With stripes

[radiant hedge]

yeah its nostalgic to look at

[half basin]

I got a lot of concept cars but I ended up collecting them by accident

It was because I just wanted real cars

And since they are real brands

[radiant hedge]

yeah same

[half basin]

I got them

Cos they are cool

Automotive history

[patent jewel]

Indeed

[half basin]

They are also very time limited castings

Because they usually have a run of just a few years

Unlike production cars which return for decades as castings

[fossil matrix]

I mean not all my stuff is old, I got a current gen E-Tron on there

[radiant hedge]

i remember having a gold white lamborghini or was it a camaro? man i do miss my old cars lol

[fossil matrix]

also the TT at the back is there cuz @jade pagoda has an obsession with them

thats why its next to my favourie car

[patent jewel]

I do miss your old arse, I mean cars damn it.

[radiant hedge]

🤨

[jade pagoda]

Makes them more lovely frankly

[jade pagoda]

Same

[jade pagoda]

Hehe, yup
Not so much obsession, but with how far I've gotten into them, it can indeed be considered an obsession Hehe
I lobe that it is next to your favourite

[radiant hedge]

[short turret]

Yh it is

Colour shifting slightly depending on the light

Little sparkly

[radiant hedge]

Yes

[short turret]

And then you got chameleon which is full colour shift

Aka those HW cars you used to dunk in warm/cool water

@muted jungle @half basin you got any of those?

[drowsy sparrow]

My car change colors like Chamillionaire

[radiant hedge]

And kind of damaged

[drowsy sparrow]

And Francesco Bernoulli

[short turret]

Yh was pretty cool

Drop it in warm water and it's one colour, drop it in cold and it's another

Didn't even have to be water

[muted jungle]

[short turret]

piss_z_gaming

[short turret]

Lmaoo

[muted jungle]

waiting for the gtr currently

[short turret]

Which one there's 3

The Datsun is technically a Skyline isn't it

[muted jungle]

gtr isnt exactly a skyline

[radiant hedge]

True

[jade pagoda]

damn that looks nice

[short turret]

You said GTR while sending a pic of 3 skylines

So I assumed you meant Skyline GTR

Not GTR R35

[modern dagger]

We did NOT get a Datsun Skyline

[muted jungle]

ITS HERE

[short turret]

@muted jungle

Found somewhere selling Mini GT

Bloody hell

[muted jungle]

thats expensive

[radiant hedge]

I have that r33

[short turret]

Also I thought they were bigger than 1:64

I thought they would be like 1:43

[muted jungle]

bruh

[radiant hedge]

Kaido house is only 1/64

[short turret]

Also had a look at some 1:18s and bloody hell they're expensive

@radiant hedge @muted jungle

Even the Fiesta is expensive at over £100

[radiant hedge]

Nice fiesta

Well its 1:18 so they arent getting cheaper tho

[short turret]

@radiant hedge @muted jungle is bburago good

They're like £6 for 1:43

[radiant hedge]

I mean yeah sure

As long as its not 1:18 its good enough

[short turret]

Why

What's wrong with 1:18

[radiant hedge]

Its not worth it and ive payed 55€ for each of them(3) build quality is meh but have a feeling its not acurate size either

[short turret]

Also how big actually is 1:18

[radiant hedge]

Big

It takes pretty good amount of space too

It looks somehow bigger than my GT spirit RS6 Avant C8 1:18(abt i think)

[short turret]

Apparently 1:12 down to 1:64
