      Check my Sig 🙂

      What I got to get to that was to buy the Yellow Compact S2000, both blue and white Compact Skyline R34s (plus another for my little boy), The Tomy NSX, Skyline LE set and the Fairlady Z booster set.

      Next has to be the Speed Racer – think I might order it tomorrow 🙂

      I hate it when I turn into a junkie and start collecting… anyone want to buy a couple of thousand Magic: The Gathering cards? :p

      Setanta, I understand.

      I started off with one or two and now I have six; Trueno Tuneup Box, Auto Modellista Set, Blue GTR (Compact Char-G), Accord wagon, Nismo GTR, and Clear GTR Booster.

      I thought I had stopped untilI sawthe Speed Racer Set and the Big Foot Sets. When will it end……….

I’ve bought 8 cars total. plus lots of motors, bodies,tyres, gears and hubs (zip-zap) etc. The mazda cosmo and modellista sets look really cool 😛 Chris nice collection, did you mod the black Impreza (wheels, grill)?

      Hi Impreza,

      The Black Subaru Impreza shell is simply on a booster chassis with silver rims. As for the grill, yes thats the new MKIII Knite Rider mod. Instead of it being mounted in your cars roof looking out the window, this version, you drill five small holes in the grill and the leds line up with the holes – result, a real looking KITT Bit! Check it out at Mikes Mods.

      Yeah – it’s the History set. I’m not to fussed on the red R34, but the dark grey R32 looks smooth as (go Godzilla) and the 2000GT-R – mmmmmmm 🙂

      If anyone has a spare 2000GT-R they want to offload…. 😉

      Compact Char-G white Skyline GTR

      Penzoil Special Edition Skyline GTR

      Project D Set

      Lancer Evolution Red

      Skyline History Set

      NSX-R

      Castrol Toms Supra Body

      Mobil 1 NSX-R Body

      Had a Lancer Evo WRC body, but can’t seem tofind it

      and a Fairlady Z body

      alot more parts and accessories, you name it drift axel, chicanes, pylons, motors, i hope i’ll eventually stop, they are so expensive but so tempting to have fun with, i first showed my manager at work, who is an import nut, and he was blown away, had to sell 5 of my bits to him because i was short of cash, but i’ll tell you something, i’ve never regreted the money i spent on these and i *never will*, life is too short not to have fun

      imho they seem to be mounted sky-high… eg the sideskirts are as high as the axles. Gee, even a Pajero isn’t as high as that in 1:1… certainly not a tarmac shaver.

      Think the old R34 looks cuter than the red one.

      LOL! That’s a good way to get that promotion – showing your ‘bits‘ to your boss :smiley2:

      Its interesting you say they are expensive. How much do you pay for one in Aus then? Over here in the UK, you can buy an imported one for about ?30 ($83 AUD). If you buy direct from HK yourself i.e. ToyEast or HLJ, you can pick them up from as little as ?15 ($42 AUD).

      Your so right, life is too short to not have fun.

      AUD…

      The Comact Char-Gs (The Aussie model) is anything from $40 – $55.

      Local sheisters will charge $65 – $90 for Japan import Bit Char-Gs.

      You can get a Bit Char-G in from Japan or China for around $50 including postage and handling if you find the right person and buy 4 at a time or more.

      I’m hanging onto it as a part of the set at the moment, but as I pick up a few more different bodies I may be convinced to swap it. If so, I’ll let you know – first on the list. :smiley1:

      I’m thinking of picking up a second Skyline LE set Shypo – probably in the next18 hours off ebay.

      The thing is, I only really want the chassis, controller and the ’70s Skyline (2000GTR).

      That means that if you would like to come in on a “group buy”, the dark grey GTR R32 and red GTR 34 bodies can be yours. Total cost would be 71 bucks Australian for me, I don’t mind paying the bulk of that, if you want to pay the balance for the two other chassis (I really don’t want another R32 – I have too many Skylines as it is, and I’m a Honda driver in real life :p ).

      Offer is open to anyone else, but Shypo gets first dibs on the red R34

      I guess I have added to my collection since I saw this post last. Added the Auto Modellista set 2 speed. The bodies in this set are really nice. Still trying to add a Lancer evo, race body and maybe the fairlady. Plus a few more clones and the kit racer energi. I have got to stop collecting:$

      I have one, but I swapped the shell for a silver Supra. I wanted a body with a rear spoiler – I think it looks cooler.

      The Truno kit looks good though. I didn’t realise until recently that it came with all the extras (tires, gears, etc). Makes it a good purchase. I don’t really like the bodies it comes with though.
