MINI GT doing it right!

So far I’m very pleased with all my MINI GT collection from the very first FK8 in (Blue) to the improved version in Red. Yes they have delays and recalls to correct their QC issues but that’s ok. As collector what we like is to see quality in our mini cars collection and not defects. 

Apart from the regular edition MINI GT pushed further to come out with a series of Liberty Walk Nissan GT-R that are welcome by many collectors which we can only see the custom version in the past. From the Duck tail light blue to the latest GT Wing Matt Gray which was an instant sold out.

What I always like about MINI GT is their attractive price point and most important of all quality. You have rubber wheelset, screw base which you can change your wheels effortlessly, rubber side mirror to avoid paint chipping and fine detailing on the body. And I’m very happy to review the MINI GT which is always on my want list the Zero Fighter Liberty Walk GT-R. 

I have claimed the light blue GT-R as one of he best diecast for 2018 and now I’m confused because all of them are on point. The duck tail Zero Fighter GT-R is not the latest but the very first casting which is a Hong Kong 2017 Toy Soul Exclusive model with a different packaging presenation all together. Followed by the light blue, matt gray and white which will be available soon.

The Zero Fighter looks aggressive with the double aero dynamic stripes and the Rising Sun symbol against its olive drab body colour in semi gloss finish. It’s a shame that it can’t fit inside the “Zero Fighter” theme Tomica Limited Vintage Hino Ranger because of its wide body :( 

Overall the Zero Fighter GT-R is a perfect casting and I can’t wait to pair this with the GT Wing Zero Fighter GT-R which is coming very soon. For collectors who like to know where you can purchased the MINI GT castings. You can check out the sellers and distributors on MINI GT Page. http://minigt.com/distribution.php

My favourite Tomica Limited Vintage Compilation from Jan 2018 till present

I just started collecting Tomica Limited Vintage (TLV) in late 2013 and I must say 2018 is actually the best year for TLV. Because their 1/64 line up are exciting such as the long awaited Tomicarama  Accelerator 426 Diorama set, the FD3S RX-7 in Initial D theme, the legendary Mazda 787b as well as Hino heavy vehicle which sent me screaming.

Although TLV retail retail price are on a higher side, it is worth every penny because it is a clone of the 1:1 in a miniature 1/64 scale. Highly detailed with functional parts for the heavy vehicle that stand outs in your collection. One thing to take note as these are in a model car category they are fragile care.

Before TLV released more castings that drive me crazy, here is a compilation of my favourite TLV from Jan till present. I have featured some castings in my Youtube Channel before and some are new features for the purchases I have in a while.

Understated Chase. M2 Machines Auto Japan 2 1971 Skyline

After my luck for finding a chase 1969 Nissan Bluebird 1600SSS for Auto Japan 1. I have almost forgotten I order a random M2 Machines Auto Japan series 2 case in hope for getting chase car which we all know the chances are slim. Hence the case arrived which I did an unboxing video in my YouTube channel.

To my surprise i score a regular chase limited at 750 pieces again! Unlike the Datsun Bluebird regular chase with gold wheels, this 1971 Skyline come with a chrome deep green wheels which looks really hidden and can’t really differentiate between the mainline version.

I really like this chase and I’m glad I never score the bluebird instead. It is so understated and I bet many collectors in the USA will have miss this on pegs without referring to the label. I like the finishing of the casting in gunmetalish finish and functional hood.
