markbt73 5316 Posted June 6, 2021 Big box of scaler goodness from my friends at RPP Hobby: Tamiya Land Cruiser FJ40 body, Axial SCX10II gearbox and 2-speed conversion, and an Axial Chevy Blazer body kit. Unfortunately, the Blazer seems to be missing its chrome parts tree; I see no grille in the bag. The bag is sealed, so it appears to be Axial's mistake. I've contacted RPP, and I'm sure they'll straighten it out. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willy iine 18806 Posted June 7, 2021 My usual Mr.SuperClear, 1060, and this junk toy Willy I found on Amazon.. Lol The authentic Wild WillyJr on the left is there just for size reference. I thought the used rebuild Willy figures I had to repaint were pretty hilarious, this is pretty much the same. Update: Bought a couple more of these junk RC for decorating my RC shop. Will paint them as it turned out much better than anticipated. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Room335 738 Posted June 11, 2021 Been eyeing the XV-01 for a while, I was just waiting for it come back in stock. So much love for that chassis here, I had to find out what all the hoopla was about! When I saw the Scorcher was available too, I went full-on Tamiya zombie mode and mindlessly added it to the cart. I’m convinced Tamiya box art does something to my brain 🤪 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkSonic 212 Posted June 12, 2021 Recieved my original Stadium Thunder today. It's in pretty good shape and the price was very hot. Complete with period correct radio (but with the sticks on the wrong side). 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bwaaatch 528 Posted June 14, 2021 Having recently signed up with buyee.jp to get better access to hard to find Mini 4wd items, today I took delivery of my first consolidated package of items won in various Japanese auction sites (mainly yahoo and mercari). Buyee is like an auction middle man for Japanese sites that don’t allow international shipping. I have to say I recommend it, and everything was made very simple despite the fact that there are a lot of moving parts in this kind of transaction. Essentially I bought or won all of these by bidding in English through the buyee site, including using snipe options. Everything I wanted, I won — and at good prices. You can then tick a few boxes and have them package everything together. From that point, the whole package was with me in 5 days time. total cost = auction price + 500yen buyee fees + postage to buyee warehouse + any extra insurance + any extra packaging (very well bible wrapped) + ‘consolidation fee’ + my choice of international shipping supplier (they listed four or five options at different prices). So it’s hard to say if you’ve really saved money, but I THINK I have, and I’ve bought some things that are essentially impossible to find or ridiculously priced in ebay. Also worth noting that lots of things on yahoo auctions pass my standard for being a NIB, but are sold (with humble apologies) as slightly second rate because the box has a small scuff or has been … opened! The price drops accordingly, and I am happy 😃 So.. what did the postman bring me… A nice set of Mini 4wds relating to the ‘Dash Yonkuro’ manga/anime. In other words, from the subset of cars classed as ‘Dash Warriors’ or related factions. Most of these are special editions, limited runs or, in the case of two of them, only ever available as prizes in arcades. One is from a mail-in coupon collecting thing for Metz Cola. It’s important here to shout out Stefan at www.manchestermodelshop.co.uk for all your UK Mini 4wd needs. I go to him for recent releases, including some rarer stuff. But you have to go to Japan (or maybe Indonesia or the Philippines) for the really special models, especially once they are no longer in print. Sorry, long post, here’s a pic … Packaging great, everything as described despite coming from 8 different sellers. Happy customer. Side note: look at that Liberty Emperor (orginal design from Early 90s, and about a dozen others designed in a similar fashion). I think it would have made a great 1/10 buggy… but somehow Tamiya has separated 1/10 and 1/32 scale almost completely at that point, so we missed out 😞 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
