@Noodles

Would be a riot to drive!

I like that they've started making interesting fantasy cars.

Looks like a modern S30 Z. 9a523874-141f-4366-b704-7a90a415d9fe-image.png

@glemon My Delta is a little different. I do like the wheels on yours.

@HotWheelsAndFriedChicken $45? it's only money 😛

@Noodles I think the aspect ratio might have been messed up on the TV where the designer saw that Batmobile...

@HotWheelsAndFriedChicken yep, that's the one

@Noodles I haven't forgotten I owe you a photo of potential parts donors. I'll get to it soon.

@HotWheelsAndFriedChicken super cool

@fintail I love that the axles are supported by an imitation of leaf springs.

@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd…

@HotWheelsAndFriedChicken Very cool! I have one that my dad gave me from when he was a kid although it's not nearly in as good of condition.

@A-Former-User I just got to work and really want to watch the video. Can't wait till lunch. Lol

That's clearly yellow

@tophercrowder
Buy one get one free?

@HotWheelsAndFriedChicken said in 2023 Hot Wheels RLC Car: 1993 Mustang Cobra R:

@Huzer the RLC foxbody is a particularly well proportioned model for hot wheels. Cant wait for mine to come in the mail!

Completely agree. There’s nothing cartoonish about this one, it looks great!

@blackfishmech There are typically no casting differences between CIPSA and non-CIPSA cars. The two common ways to tell are the paint color and interior color. CIPSA liked to use enamel paint colors which were never used by Mattel, though they also used spectraflame colors on occasion. The interiors are usually a stark white or gloss black, though there are exceptions to this rule as well. Each CIPSA casting has it's own quirks and features to differentiate it from its Mattel counterparts, so there is no one way to tell. Every car is different.

@Tripper Eggggselent!

@Hamster-V10 I cant wait to find one of the IMSA Audis. That and the 560 SEC AMG. They'll look awesome detailed and wheel swapped.

@fintail his reply: "On your inquiry on Edocar;
the company had an agreement with Maisto, not to supply the US.
(Same castings with different brands)
But I do know that Edocar did apply to the chamber of commerce for legal export of toys to the USA, shortly before they went bankcrupt.
Most Edocars in the USA were purchased thru the web or during holidays abroad by us collectors."

@tophercrowder I got that one carded!

@vdubyajohn cool, thanks.

@tophercrowder
If they don't ban pastries then I'll allow it.

@jminer They really do roll well. The weight of the ball makes all the difference

@The-Car-Motorist Happy Borthday! 🎂

@tophercrowder
Intimidating!

@Noodles Every time!

@HFV_Junkyardin This is how the casting looked before I detailed and wheelswap itD8FC0281-5829-42BF-A3AD-4CFF03FA7312.jpeg

@HotWheelsAndFriedChicken Aoshima, it’s one of my older favorites. I got it in 2016, I believe it’s a 2014 or 15 release

@davesaddiction exactly

It was -26 C this morning

@pyroholtz

That response appears to be on track.

@Noodles Phat Boyz! I remember being obsessed with these for the longest time. Inspired me to dig out my small collection. Theres 6 or 7 more in the big car.

@tophercrowder
Could have been taken during the spin after the bonnet jump and bump?

@Noodles was thinking it looked like a corgi.

@Hamster-V10 wow, that's quite a size difference for both being 1:24. Do you know which one's more "true"? Is this common? I thought they'd just scale the cad model exactly 24 times and go from there.

@Noodles I can see how a ferrari ff would work.

Sorta mocked it up here.
20230226_211420.jpg I like the flow of the body lines from the front of the b pillar to the front fender and the one from the roof to the door gap.

20230226_211902.jpg Here I've marked the lines that I think lead to nowhere in red and marked the main problem area in green. The issue is that the roof of the ff has a very steep drop-off on the edge of the roof. This, imo, should be at a shallower angle.

20230226_213147.jpg This is angle I'm talking about (blue). Pink is the angle that I think would be better.

Hopefully understandable? Possibly helpful?

@WhoIsTheLeader right!? not especially handsome, but very unusual!
also nice to see an unmolested R33, even if that likely means it's a NA auto

@EssExTee Well... could be. And I am perfectly fine with this.

@fintail Oh that is nice. That is very very nice!

The fact that this is the only post tagged "KOENIGGGGSENISSEGGSEGNIGNIGSEGIGISEG" is truly a crime.

@dtg11 said in LaLD: Cizeta V16T:

@Noodles hmm, I don’t seem to remember that one. I do remember getting something from you, just can’t remember off the top of my head. Most of my hot wheels/matchbox are in storage right now, sadly.

It's all good.

@vdubyajohn said in LALD: Completing the Set with help from my 3D printers:

@Noodles must have been @alienprobe as I wouldn't give that up too easily...lol

BWAHAHA!

@Roundbadge I just got a new one in the mail. I'll open it tonight and get some pics

@Noodles said in LaLD: Animal Transporter:

The cab looks like it's desperately trying to wear spandex.

The cab looks like it's desperately trying to wear spandex.
Ha!

@Noodles I have a 2009 Hot Wheels Javelin. cool model!

@HotWheelsAndFriedChicken thrift stores rule!

@davesaddiction I'm not old enough to have job, but here is my desk at home:IMG_8191.jpg A few cars, my chromebook + whatever I'm working on and then my fidget toys because I always have to have my hands moving.

@WhoIsTheLeader holy thats nice

I like that plastic insert to hold the car from rattling around in the box, great thinking on the Mfr's part

@Noodles Abarth 205, based on the Fiat 1100. Absolutely amazing little shape, only 3 made if I'm not mistaken. This is the car the model is based on:

@Hamster-V10 Found a whole stack of them over the weekend. Kept one, gave the rest to other guys at work. Among some other hidden gems...Image (45).jpeg

@Dusty-Ventures if you find anything weird in your storage let me know. I'm always looking for weird cars.

@pip-bip

Shame it doesn't come with a soundtrack.

@tophercrowder
Why do most of your Hotwheels toyporn images look like they are about to run me over?

@Noodles I've got one of those too
