After scoring the Truforce SDCC Mega Man at Barnes & Noble i had to track down the other 2. I was lucky and threw in low best offers under what i thought i was gonna get them on ebay and surprisingly the seller accepted. Now i finally have all color variants of this amazing figure ^_^

But there's 4 color variations total. The grey-tone one, original X colors, X-Kai, and armored X colors.

Yup i got the other 2 as well, those were easy to get. These two were a problem since everyone with the gray one wanted $400+ for it.

Hauls from last two weeks. Yamato 1/60 VF-1 GBP Armor Set from valiantknight. Thank you sir! ^_^

These two from YJA. Yamato 1/60 VF-1D and Yamato 1/60 Fan Racer (White) Model Kit. Now I can say I'm done with my Hikaru Valks. :wub: All I need now is for Arcadia to reissue his VF-1A in the new Arcadia whites. ;)

Nice!! I have a white fan racer that I need to build as well. I also got the HDP one but that I will leave it unbuilt because that material sucks to work with.

If only it comes with a pilot Hikaru figure, it would've been perfect. ;)

Nice pickups, Noel! When are you going to start building that Fan Racer?

Now, that's a question I really need to answer soon. If only I could find time... Hahaha! :lol:

Great pick up spanner! I also pick up 1/18 auto art Subie's!!! Gotta have one of your car!! Lol

Its pretty much the exact same model of SS-V Redline! Even a manual shifter and sunroof! The only thing different was it had a white roof but that was an easy fix!

Testing a new backdrop. Like the texture, but it's too small for photgraphing anything larger.

Great pick ups!

Now you need to find the Angel Birds + Fan Racer set. ;)

I haven't had much time to fiddle with it, but I like it a lot so far. Just the lions themselves have way more joints and poseability than the old 80s version. I'll combine them together when I have a chance.

And no lead paint as far as I know. :)

Picked up a 1:18 model of my actual car! The roof was white so I covered it in some black vinyl so it matches my car.

Nice pickup Spanner! Which one is the 1:18 scale once again? :lol:

Thanks Lolicon! I was eyeing Angel Bird with Fan Racer before but it always ends up out of my budget. But this white one is already ok for me. I just bought it so I can complete my Hikaru Valks. ;)

LOL, poor composition on my part? Oh well, I suppose that could be one form of initiation.:D

Oh c'mon. You don't see Hulkbuster and Abomination like that everyday. It's all good. :rolleyes:

This is so badass Spanner. I wish i could find a 1:18 or 1:24 2010 WRX white sedan with the small spoiler. It doesn't exist. If you guys ever find one, i'll take it off your hands.

it is eh! yeah the Biante model isn't the most accurate model made but its good enough. There are a few minor details on it that aren't right and bug me a little (as with any diecast car) but overall its very close to my car which is what matters.

And the RRP on them isn't exactly cheap either! they are usually $199! :o:wacko: but I had a $50 store gift voucher which made it $149 (aud) which still kinda expensive but reasonable enough to buy. The fact it was my model of car also helped as if it were anything else then I wouldn't have bought it.

I'll certainly be on the look out for you in my model car hunting travels and let you know if I find anything to match your car! Isn't there anything close that you could possibly mod to match your car? Surely there must be something?

This isn't a recent purchase, I bought it in Hong Kong a year ago, but since cars are "so hot right now".......

This is Jenson Button's McLaren from the 2012 Belgian GP, which was the 1st F1 race I managed to attend.

Given the fact that I'm a Button fan, we wanted him to win the race, he did win the race and it was a magic weekend, when I saw this I had to have it! No brainer.

Here's the real car (and JB) during qualifying from that weekend. (forgive iphone quality pic)

If only McLaren could've given him a better car in the seasons that followed....sigh. Roll on the Aussie GP though, the new cars will hopefully look great!

Closest thing I could get for my car in 1:18 is the Ottomobile B5 RS4 but that has long sold out everywhere I've seen and I couldn't bring myself to pay the asking price when it was still available.

1zu18_Audi_RS4_B5_gelb_OttOmobile_OT053U

that is a very nice looking model indeed! but my only gripe with it and others from Otto is they are a sealed design with no openings.. yes these are now hard to find and expensive.

haha! funny enough I bought the same year model car in 1/18 Minichamps for my dad as he's a big Jenson fan too! 2012 was a pretty good year for Jense as he won a few races.

I've been on the fence with this one for a good long time.. finally caved and got an almost new from a member here!  Shoulders intact and Xigfrids Shapeways 3D replacement parts if they do ever break!  I had forgotten how... fun.... the 171s are to transform when you haven't done it in a while.. LOL.  YouTube and Jenius to the rescue! I really do love the color scheme!
