Got my latest order in today
First the Limited Civic...what can I say, you get what you pay for. The most detailed 1/64 that I own as far as I can remember, this thing is sweet! And the tires are interesting. I know they probably didn't pay much attention to them, but a Civic wearing super-wide slicks all around is pretty sweet I must say! I wish it was whiter though to match the wheels, not sure why it's just an off-white: ![]() ![]() Honda Fit, nothing too special, but this idea of an opening hatch seem pretty neat after all! ![]() ![]() Two Skylines. The vanilla one is, well, vanilla, but it's still pretty cool: ![]() ![]() And the racing version. A little disappointed here, stickers again, and the stance is uneven and much too high. For $5+, I would not recommend this one: ![]() ![]() And now, the moment JustDavid has been waiting for... ![]() ![]() Oh how I hope they make a Limited one of those! Also, an opening hatch may be in the future, the back is solid. Nothing right now though. Overall a good order, pity that the racing Skyline was a bit of a letdown though. But I am very pleased with my first Limited model! |

Very nice
I have the Honda Fit and the Skyline myself. Do you know Tomica are going to make the new Skyline GT-R? Not sure when though, could be later this year or early next year.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Nice models! The Subaru is a must have (and the Fit is on it's way to me). I think I may have to splurge on the Limited Civic as well. Very nicely detailed!

Two words: Love it!! I knew you'd come through Jedimario!
It looks even better in "real" pics...so it is now a must-have. Where did you order from? I'm guessing Go-Velo-City or ofas because it's not listed at ToyEast. The Civic looks really good too...I've been thinking "yes&no" on it, but your pics put it into the must-have column. The Fit looks good too. I have it as well as the purple/pink first generation model. It's too bad about the racing Skyline...guess all manufacters have their down days. Thanks for sharing your pics. |

Yeah, I got them from GVC. I think that the GT-R could be fixed with a little custom work, but I'm a bit scared to drill into it. |

It's still available- if you mess it up obtaining another is a mouse click away.

Thought I'd post this up. I didn't realize the hood opened on the Subaru! My brother looked at it when I brought it home and just popped the hood opened, I was suprised ![]()

Gotta love opening features with gaps so thin you don't even realize the parts open!

Can we conclude that this is a good casting despite scale issues now?
