Tamiya miniatures
Was just looking through my cupboard for my lost torch and came across these, thought I'd post some pics as stuff like this would interest me..
Tamiya enthusiasts may find these quite interesting. Bought them a few years ago from Japan. As I understand it they came free with coffee or something.
There are 11 available, 10 listed and one 'secret' car. Unfortunately I don't have the secret one! I assume someone had these as excess after trying to get the secret one. I got them off eBay Japan.
Apart from the Grasshopper they are all still unbuilt in their packs. Although I could disassemble the Grasshopper as the packet is open without damage.
Hoping they may be worth a few quid in years to come!
The chap also sent me a little Kyosho Alfa too, again have its packet etc. that one is metal.
50p to show scale
Bonus Kyosho

They are dinky aren't they!
Wouldn't mind the missing one, it's the Avante aparantly. I can't find any pics of it online though.
Had a look at some pics of them built up, the Top Force car looks really smart. I'll find a pic tomorrow, really need some sleep now lol.

They look class, never heard of them before. I was close to buying a grasshopper (and a lunchbox) the other week whilst having a funny five minutes and on eBay...

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Seeing all of them together, I'm trying to think of the last car I had, think it was the Thunder Shot...
It's sat in my parents loft somewhere, keep meaning to go and get it out...

Put one of the in a brat and you could maintain a wheelie lol
My dad has a celica and brat in the loft
And a brand new technic gold motor in the box never run
What ever you do don't brake the celica shell
As there like hens teeth to get
The one you want tho is the blazing blazer

I put the technigold in my Hornet and ball raced it all, with the right gear on the motor it'd flip over backwards lol
I bought one for my RX7 Tamiya a few years ago and it hardly made any difference. Seems strange? It came new from eBay and was a bit cheap, maybe fake. Seem to remember the technigold being expensive when they were new back in the day.
Anyone remember the next motor up from Tamiya, Dynatech IIRC

I started with a falcon which got nicked out my parents car only days after Christmas when I was about 10.
Next was a manta ray which got ball raced and which I attempted to start racing but couldn't get the hang of the controls when the car was coming towards you
Next was a kyosho escort cosworth which was shit slow !
Had all sorts in between including nitro which are too loud.
I remember technigold motors but I think the best 540,s are now black but can't remember the name but are tamiya?
I've still got a 1:10 tamiya mk1 focus shelf queen in the spare room with hop ups which was raced by the previous owner...
The brushless motors now are immense !
