I'm back... and I did make it over to Toyzone before I went to the airport... It's a great store, sad I skipped it the first go-round, glad I went before departing though! Prices are pretty damn high in general, but they have so much stuff that's obscure and there are deals on the not-so-popular or miscellaneous older 1:43 models that people might not be especially interested in... ie: you can find lots of older say Porsche Ebbro/Minichamps or random stuff like Ford Sierra Gendermarie police cars in the $30 range. There was even a large stock of 1:43 McLaren F1 from Minichamps in every colour for about $35 a piece. It was a fun time browsing around, weird building with the sign-in and freight elevator though lol!

Anyway, here are the pics of the ITR from CS-Models:

Yeah it was quite weird the first time I went to toy zone too with the sign in and old elevators with an operator inside. But it's a great place to see old odd models that you wouldn't think would be availible or produced.

Where is Toyzone? I'm not having any luck on Google. :/

68style 11-12-2015 12:52 AM

It's in Hong Kong slightly northwest of the Tai-Koo metro station.

interior, lowered, wheels and tires, brakes, machined aluminum billet mufflers, custom ragtop. it's been a year. the exchange rate to euros is not good so i was limited to what i wanted. other customers have done more expensive stuff, like LED lighting to a working suspension with custom made coilovers. look up tk diecast on facebook to see their work.

You walk down a dead end and face with this entrance to the warehouse,

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ID...=w1234-h925-no

Walk into the warehouse to the elevators which are still operated by worker and manually opening the doors!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/kI...=w1234-h925-no

Go up one floor and you would see their entrance

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/1z...=w1234-h925-no


whats inside is just endless rolls of old toys and models. Most 1/43 are in glass cabinets which you ask the workers to open up for you

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/eq...=w1234-h925-no

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/fV...=w1234-h925-no

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Bg...=w1234-h925-no


Dangerous place because most of the models I havent even seen before would be there!!

After couple of trips I ended up bringing these back with me

Here's Kodamu's post / pics which should give you a good sense of where Toyzone is. I hope to go there the next time I visit HK.

did you see any reference to a "street version" of this model? from the collectors groups that i've been lurking on online, there is a modified street version (street being the one in the pictures), that isn't the spoon or mugen ones... but i can't find pictures of it.

68style 11-13-2015 07:12 AM

No those were the only 2 ITR... They were surrounded by a variety of EG Civics (which still look terrible by the way) and a newer gen Civic.

1/18 Ignition Model NSX is back up for preorder at AmiAmi. :whistle:

I think they're actually different NSX's?

The original set of 4 were numbered IG400, 402, 403 and 405 and featured different wheels (white one had TE37's for example). Kinda weird?

Here's the old pics:

granemo 11-15-2015 12:28 AM

They are different, new for 2016. Pre-orders were sold out earlier this month and came back briefly today. But now it's closed again. lol
Seems like people love NSXes here, so thought I'd share. :p

my xmas gift to myself. i'm just going to end up getting weird socks and sweaters anyway... at least that's my excuse.

i met the offical local dealer/distributor is for Ottomobile and GT Spirit today at work. he delivered this to me on his way to abbotsford where there is an event going on this weekend. He also does a lot of Hot Wheels stuff so no more fighting with the kiddies at walmart.
