2008 Dodge Viper SRT10

A Pair Of BADD Rides

I have a confession to make. I have been known to be more of a Tomica guy than anything else. But there are a few select members out there who know that I have a weakness for Import Tuners, Playing Mantis stuff and Badd Rides among others.

In fact, I have a secret stash of these which I open up every so often just to admire the models. In the case of these two beauties, I took them out of the blister pack and put them on my work table so I have them sitting here in front of me while I work.

I couldn't resist the temptation to take a photo but you'll have to excuse the quality. I'll take better photos next time. For now, this photo, on top of my Asus 1000HE will have to do.

Enjoy!

The Tomica Version

The preceding video shows the real thing - now feast your eyes on the toy

Police interceptors at Mcrae Gathering

I had the pleasure of running into the Interceptor Series a while back, more than a year ago if I'm not mistaken.

Like my friend Jovet, I was wondering if this was the real thing, but it WAS an honest to goodness series from the UK and it's really cool.

A bunch of 1/18 Ferraris

I want to make it clear, I don't have any of these anymore.

I wish I did, but I sold them a long time ago.

I am posting them here for two reasons:

1. These models look too good to waste.

2. I can get some consolation in the fact that there will be some readers who will be feeling as bad as I am because they don't have it too heh heh.

Seriously, as they say, it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

I'm not sure if I agree 100% about the love thingie but I can say that when it comes to models, it is of some consolation to have been able to own them for a brief time.

This is why I take as many good pictures as possible, of my cars. Seeing them in great detail, even in a photo, is a passable substitute for owning them.

So enjoy !

Some Really Cool Diecast Wallpaper

As a collector of diecast, I also collect all forms of related media from magazines to wallpaper. The only problem now is finding the space to put all these really cool and awesome wallpapers.

Enjoy this collection !

Nice toys right?

Still see them around?

Probably not since these were the first Real Toys to be sold in recent times. I think this was around 2005 or 2006.

Now, one thing that can be said about the Toywizard is that he is an excellent judge of value.

In his eternal wisdom, he allowed all these toys, which were previously in his magical toy chest, to be sold and did not bother to keep one for himself!

Now these Real Toys cannot be seen on the market anymore and upon seeing these photos, the Toywizard says that was a real smart move genius.



Seriously that was an epic smart move. I even recalled telling myself how nice the castings were. These were not cheap spin offs as they were pretty heavy, had good details and had excellent finishes.

So if you see the older casting Real Toys such as this on the market, check them out. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how good they are.

My only consolation is I regained my sanity in time to at least keep these which I still have, which are not for sale.
