Oh wow, thanks for pointing out that sale. I haven't been in a big hurry to pick them up since they have been available forever at reasonable prices. But at that price... into the cart they go.

jenius gave me the heads up on that one, Shipping was super fast too!

I finally got around to cracking some boxes that have been gathering dust in the back room.

Macross, Dirty Pair, and Mospeada cels. The Aisha cel is nice because all the color information is penciled in around her.

Wing series should be the most popular Gundam series in US?

I'd say a definite yes, Gundam Wing first aired on Toonami and was most US viewer's first foray into the world of Gundam. Why Heero and Relena with all that nasty Seed mecha? Where's the Wing mecha?

How much was the Lambo!? $15 hehe!

I was considering buying a Welly 1/18 Lamborghini Miura off ebay which would be kinda out of my normal purchase zone being so cheap.. $35 if I remember correctly.

Yeah $15. :) They call to me while I'm buying groceries.

$35 for the Miura is not bad.

$15 is a bloody good price even for a cheap model car! :good:

With my previous model car collection, among other scales sizes I also had a lot of the cheaper brand models even though some were actually quite poor in detail and finish. I don't ever plan on having as many cars as I previously had so im limiting my collecting to higher end stuff instead. But I went to a car museum over the last weekend and saw one of those Welly Lamborghini Miura on display and it looked fairly decent. Hence why im considering it.

a 5 & 6 for a model car of that price makes them very respectable! my son has a few Welly brand cars including an Audi R8 and a Lamborghini Aventador among them and they are quite nice indeed! But they weren't quite $15 though.. more like $50 to $80 but even that is still a 1/3 or 1/4 the average price of a Autoart..

And speaking of my collection.. I upgraded my display! I bought a new display cabinet from Ikea as I need the cabinet they were in previously for my expanding Valkyrie collection.

Now at least you can see all the cars clearly! and I had some spare LED strip lighting which worked out perfectly too! really pleased with the end result! Here are some pics!
