The OFFICIAL "what I picked up today"

**bhaney** · 12-16-2011 06:50 PM

I've been scoring some good stuff lately. I'm guessing the other collectors aren't wanting to fight the crowds, or maybe the stores are just restocking at odd times. At any rate, today's lunch time haul:

and

I got a nice surprise in the mail today. I ordered this earlier this year and kind of forgot about it...

No pics this time, but I scored a couple of kits yesterday.

Tamiya Porsche 993 GT2 Clubsport
Tamiya Aston Martin DBS

Paid $20 each for them. Amazing deal for the Aston, as it's normally around $80. Includes photoetched parts.

**Ridicoulus** · 12-22-2011 06:03 PM

my buddy called from my favorite hobby store this morning to tell me they got in a g60 gti and a mk3 golf vr6 model. Question is, do I want to spend near $100 for models that'll never be built..

Is the only "non-highend" version the lightweight one?

**n0rdicalex.** · 12-31-2011 02:23 AM

my dad got me these for christmas:

typical Spark quality.

My understanding of it is that they did produce a regular quality Kyosho (which is nice) however the "high-end" versions of the lightweight and regular F40 available for the last year or two are amazing in the details. Honestly the car looks as though it could run. Every part is replicated down to crazy amounts of detail. The "non-high end" versions were fairly detailed but also fairly average Kyosho diecast.

**Herbie3Rivers** · 01-04-2012 12:41 PM

Just got this one from the fine folks over at Autoblog.

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/12/19/s...dition-highcr/

I've seen Automoblox stuff before, but never really looked at them. I know these things are supposed to be toys, but they're REALLY nice pieces.

**Shaved** · 01-04-2012 04:11 PM

ehh playskool makes better detailed sh!t than that...

**Mayerz** · 01-08-2012 07:08 PM

picked this up at a local hobby shop: (Tamiya 1/24 1988 930)

and this on ebay: (fujimi 1/24 1967 911R)

**iamsuperdan** · 01-08-2012 07:18 PM

Love that old Fujimi kit!

**Cousin Eddie** · 01-09-2012 11:27 AM

This showed up in 1:43 scale today.

**sbvwfanatic** · 01-10-2012 12:01 AM

Nice little haul.

**n0rdicalex.** · 01-11-2012 04:58 AM

these 1:43 spark models are available now, however the place i pre-ordered them at doesn't have a date for them yet, but are thinking March sometime. seriously think Spark/Minimax has some awful customer service and distribution services, and i definitely don't want to pay eBay prices.

for Spark/Minimax customer service reference, i pre-ordered the #7 2010 Audi R15++ Le Mans car in January 2011, and i still haven't heard anything about it - other than they went on sale around spring 2011, and my distributor has no word from them either. Spark/Minimax's email responses are always short and vague too. hoping the #3 2011 Audi R18 Le Mans car doesn't turn out the same way...

but definitely plan on snagging both those Flying Lizard Cars.

**sunnyrachell** · 01-11-2012 05:20 AM

These are all rare, but for the Hummer it come and go in the Exoto website.

**iamsuperdan** · 01-11-2012 10:28 AM

The fEdEx guy was god to me yesterday!

Fujimi - Lexus LS600hL
Fujimi - Infiniti Q45
Fujimi - Mitsubishi FTO
Galaxie- 46 Chev Sedan Delivery

I like stuff that's a little different!

I've got to get building some of these! I've got about 50 kits to work on.
