But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

That's the special edition AE86. Not the Initial D ones. Funny thing is I always wanted a red one but none were out when I got this. 2 months later, Autoart came out with the red one -___-

Not mine but that's what it looks like. It's an old Japanese brand made out of tin and comes with a friction drive. Apparently one of these in mint condition with the original box can fetch for over $10,000. Mine, however, has no box, has a busted friction drive and has dents from being played with.
I know I had fun playing with it as a kid, but god damn... if someone had told me it would be worth a shit load of money when I was younger, I would have made my parents place it in a lock box at the bank.  | Decided to sell this thing on Ebay a couple weeks ago. Apparently this thing has a far bigger collector base than I had originally thought. There were people from Japan, Australia and all over Europe asking specific questions about it. Ended up going for a couple hundred bucks, which isn't much, but considering it's 50+ years old and is half busted, I'm more than happy with it.
Also swung by Wal-Mart on my way home from work today and picked up some Hot Wheels.  E30 and E46 M3, an AE86, and a few other ones that piqued my interest. I've no idea why I buy 'em; they just end up going into a box in storage Maybe once the basement is finished, I'll finally have a proper display case. Or... maybe in the garage once it's finally wired for power.

waiting for my 964 3.8RS now | just curious: do you find that the price of a sealed body car is worth the money? i am stuck with the mentality that for that kind of cost it should have opening doors, a detailed engine bay, etc.

The EF Civic should be out early next year, can't wait. Looks like something used on the Osaka Loop.

the 993 was extremely well detailed. besides, I don't open the doors anyways when I display mine, so not a big deal for me.
the Resin cars do have nicer paint job and finish!

i was hoping they were going to re-release the originals but i guess not (just like autoart did with UT ).
but i do have to admit their SL63 AMG does look nice in the pictures:  
but after reading some of the diecast message boards it says that this is actually an Absolute Hot reissue. apparently RMZ bought them out as well.
