I've blown a nice amount of my old toycars with fireworks a few years back

.

Post by **Morty** » 28 Sep 2005, 01:03

I have a few hundred toy cars, mostly from Majorette and Matchbox (I stick to the small ones). My friends kinda thought it was a bit childish tho, so I've stopped buying them, altho I still buy BMWs when I see them

Unfortunately, most of my old cars haven't been treated too good (been out in the rain, been driven over by real cars and so on)...

Post by **Pabl0z** » 28 Sep 2005, 02:03

Yeah i have a bunch of those Majorette and Matchbox toys but i stopped buying them when i was about 10

.
I wonder how many i've blown up with fireworks. Maybe a few dozen.

- Chevrolet Corvette C5 Convertible (BBurago, black)
- Porsche 911 Coupe (BBurago, red)
- Dodge Viper GTS (BBurago, silver with dual blue stripes)

1:18 scale

- Mercedes-Benz CLK-DTM 2000 (silver with D2 vinyils) **my favourite**

I haven't bought any new models for at least 2 years. Maybe it's time I go shopping.

master m, I see you have some LEGO sets around there. I used to be a big fan of LEGO (still have a fairly large LEGO town with working train around it - but the hormones kicked in, got interested in other stuff and lost interest - mainly because of high prices of LEGO - might go back into the hobby later)

Cool. I bought the Jada Option D WRX last night. Along with the Gi Joe Sigma 6 Storm Shadow & Snake Eyes.

Jopuma · Post by **Jopuma** » 28 Sep 2005, 17:53

thanks. I know those pics are pretty bad quality, but I'm too lazy too take some new pics.

I'm also planning on buying some more JadaToys and a few other cars:

'60s AC Cobra
1958 Chevy Bel Air (Jada Toys)
Ferrari F40
Dodge Charger (Jada Toys)
Chrysler 300c (Jada Toys)

James31278 · Post by **James31278** » 28 Sep 2005, 21:09

master m has the silver and blue jada 1:18 Supra Skunk2, I want that but no stores have it. I'm probably going to end up buying it online.

James31278 · Post by **James31278** » 28 Sep 2005, 22:07

Here are some fuzzy pics of the option d RX-7. Sidenote, this is the only Jada import racer car I've seen with a real engine in it instead of some cheap plate with an engine imprint.

What's Die Cast???

Post by **Pabl0z** » 29 Sep 2005, 00:51

Stereo i asked the same question before. Roll back a few pages

James31278 · Post by **James31278** » 29 Sep 2005, 02:26

It's a form of metal, not as strong as steel but its nice for toys.

Maybe some of you could help me out on this little topic.
I am going early this year on christmas presents, so I got this kid who is 3 years old or so and I have been thinking of buying a small RX-7 (FD) for him in christmas present.
But I want it to be robustly built and it doesn't need too many details actually.
Does anyone know any webshops that sells something like that?
I would prefer a 99 spec FD model but any series of the FD will do actually.

Though for myself I have currently set my sights on a plastic model kit of a FD for myself to build. (For those of you who doesn't know me very well, I am an Rotary fanatic)

@James31278: Nice model, where did you get that?
