    Ever since I saw your post, I wanted to buy one of these.
    I had never heard of BMC diecasts before either, but I finally managed to buy this one last week.

    I'm considering putting the facelift bumpers on it, but I need to buy some decent glue first.
    I'm also considering buying another one maybe, a black one would look good with the RS bumpers...

    Cool, I don't know why they designed the bumper interface so loosely…

    This is one I just got, GCD 1990 Toyota crown, I love this thing reminds me of a Lexus but somehow more luxurious, pretty sad the US didn’t get the crown after the 70s,

    This one has already been in my wishlist for a long time.GCD is a Chinese brand and they made many cars that are classic in Chinese petrol heads' heart.
    This 1990 Crown Sedan is a good example.In 1994(Probably),there are about 24% of import vehicles in China mainland are made by Toyota and Crown occupied perhaps half of these Toyota cars.You could still see them sometimes on the road now

    Want to get an EJ1 if my wallet premits me to do so:D

    This car costs only 76 RMB (approximately 10 US dollars). I think it can be cheaper, as Para64 has never been very good in my mind

    The Quattro was given to my seven year old brother for his birthday but he never opened it, so I took it away from him.

    Respectable, I've stolen many Lego pieces from a summer camp. After all, these pieces which were not made anymore (early 2000s lego) were just going to be destroyed eventually, and it was all donated. Besides, half of the pieces didn't work because they previously had glue on them.
