I’m filling another request from my neighbor’s grandson. This time Gabe ordered a Ferrari F50 in “red with black wheels.” Simple enough, but the kid knows his cars.
Is there a rattle can brand that comes close enough to a Ferrari rossa? Thanks.
And a Zylmex morning, and a Kidco morning:
Wow, was it muggy today! Made it imperative to find that one vendor and git...
Today, RWB stands for Red, White, and Blue. Enjoy a safe one!
Not outside, although it is summer out there too. I’m referring to the mystery make Karmann Ghia I posted. It’s been identified as a Summer Toys casting, which really makes me believe it may have a shorter base, in a previous incarnation. Either way, it’s on!
Thank you Henk and Patrick at Pure VWs!
I need to dig out all the white walls I’ve been stocking up on and keep swapping until I find the right look. What are the chances it will be white walls w/Baby Moons? Trigger Alert: The next photo contains graphic images of body parts...
The Obscure Ones...they just get a hold of me and don’t give up! I’ve had a great time finding out about the obscure brand diecast over the last couple years, mostly from the folks here at LaLD. I thought I’d got a handle on it and didn’t feel the need to rescue them all, blah, blah, blah.
I thought I did it. I’ve…
This was lined up in a row with regular “carded” hot wheels at a flea vendor’s flat, but I didn’t really look at it closely until the transaction was finished.
Actually, I didn’t really look at it closely until I got home but it’s a Need For Speed EA Games Sampler CD, with a bonus car. Mario’s last Kart.
TWO of the new VW Buses!! woohoo! One is already DLM’d and a comparison post will follow. is below.
The Bone Shakers were a surprise, I’d never heard of this Rocket League before today.

Oh my lordie do I want this one!
Who is going to step up and make art out of art?
The Ferrari 312 P was a Group 6 Prototype-Sports Car used for racing in 1969 and 1970. The new 1971 version of the sports prototype came with a flat-12 engine, often referred to as a boxer engine. Many publications added the letter B after the P of its name to indicate its engine type, but this variation was never…
Stormville airport flea market that is. I pulled up looked at a few booths and found a guy with a nice assortment of cars, bought what I wanted and left the venue. That’s my new strategy, one that will go a long way towards sparing my old bones and synapses. Get in, get out. No more FOMO!
Without any further BS...
This is what the id marque has meant. Maybe I’m the last to know, but I just saw this online.
On the way back from court this morning I found this bent carded last one. No images on the card back so I don’t know what else is in the series. BRB...
I had to go refile a subpoena today and as long as I’m out, I’m gonna look. Seems like legal matters work almost as well as doctor appointments...lol
Johnny Lightning/Round 2 is really upping their game:
I found a new flea location and met a new vendor this morning, and his table held a large assortment of Mercedes Benz castings of all sizes, brands and colors. A blue over white 280 SL stood out, I picked it up and learned was reminded about yet another line heretofore unknown to me. Faller. I knew the name from model…
tl;dr, I got thrown under a diecast bus...
If one walked into a hobby shop, let’s say, and saw a display of Redline HWs for a good price, one would buy them, right? Great deal! End of story.
Or is it? I know it should be.
Last week I described a successful hunt at the Flea Baths, from which I quote:
