Hope to find those JH3s on the pegs locally. Been grabbing the Team Transports 2 at a time off Amazon when they hit $12.99.

I found a super not too long ago.

https://i.imgur.com/1xLNERy.jpg

From the sightings and postings everywhere, I think it's a higher than average produced super. Seen so many people find it. Which is cool, it's a really good super.

[Phatmiata]

wow thats awesome!! I dont have much time these days to hunt so have not found a super in over a year. That Ford is a great one, I traded some cars with another guy for mine. As for the JD3 I just went ahead and ordered a couple cases online from 1stopdiecast.com if you can get them on preorder its cheaper than normal, saves me from driving all over town wasting my gas and time trying to find them.

I did a blog post the other day with my small collection of Jun Imai originals (https://revlimiter.net/blog/2020/02/the-art-of-jun-imai/). I'll post the pix here as well.

Cliff notes: I get to occasionally make horn buttons for Jun. He sends me Hot Wheels in payment. It's an amazing arrangement.

https://revlimiter.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/DSC_0743.jpg
My humble collection. I can't believe I have these.

This isn't actually mine. I commissioned it and sent it along to Eric.


https://revlimiter.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/DSC_0737.jpg
The first front-art ever drawn.

https://revlimiter.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/DSC_0715.jpg
The only custom Jun Imai Miata ever made to my knowledge.

Miata and my first custom from Jun that he sent back in 2015.

[fwdtamiya]

I was wondering how you were getting all of those :lol: He lives around the corner from my parents, stopped me and we talked cars for a little bit one day. And wow, that Miata is amazing :shock:

[Phatmiata]

[Phatmiata]

If you have not seen this yet, this is the second recolor of the Manga Tuner I posted on my IG page @HotWheelsTuner

I'm planning to get some of these and swap the mainline wheels out with some 8mm chrome 4 spokes and button them back shut for a cleaner look.

Since Toyota is now back on the map with Mattel you can expect to see some more goodies on the pegs, not sure where this one will be at, but got this sneak peek from a buddy overseas.

More Hot wheels goodness. You all may have seen these already, but here's what i picked up recently.
McLaren Senna, McLaren P1, Acura NSX, & the Matchbox car '61 Falcon Ranchero.
The Senna is a really nice color.
(I owned a pristine '64 Falcon coupe back in the 80's)

The title did say "... & Diecast Thread" so guessing this is appropriate. I had a sea freight shipment from Japan finally arrive with a stack of the remaining Road&Sters I was missing along with another magazine I'd been looking for on YJA. Models Cars from April 2016 which featured a Miata showcase. I haven't had a chance to really dig in yet but the custom ND Spyder concept and M2 1001 are incredible builds...
