the only thing i can suggest is that you sign up for their email newsletters on their website. there was new mailing last week but it only said they had taken over another collection from an estate sale and mentioned nothing about possible closure.

any display cases worth looking aside from AA ones? Only criteria is that it's clear and doesnt give that rainbow/oil effect while looking glaring cheap

if I didn't already have a bookshelf I would've probably bought this

I'll give imperial hobbies a look-see later this week


if you wanna improve dat stance

this may be too low brow for you guys but Costco in the states has some of the 1:18 Maisto Special Edition line for $13

Lots of american cars (new mustang/viper/corvette/classics) but there also some others like a boxter, z4, lp640 too.

wrong. i just came back from there a few hours ago. i saw the red type-r tofu was talking about. it's sitting on the far shelf next to the doors to the back room. black box. something like $205.

also consider trolling craigslist. about a month back someone was selling a white type-r BNIB for $150. it was advertised for like 2 months. i didn't go for it because space is limited and i am hoping for a yellow one.

they have like a half-dozen initial-d ae86's as well... they were stuffed anywhere there was space. what's up with that?

are you guys talking about the black sti and the blue evo sitting on the front counter? i was wondering what those were all about...

ugh their prices were not that great for what i was looking for. one of their spirit gt models is almost $70 more than what i've seen online
