went to my local Walmart today and came out with a
1950 Studebaker truck ( PEZ candies not included ) and saw a pair of
Mercury Econoline . The card ( in french , a rare thing ) says Ford and Mercury pick-up trucks but both have Mercury written on the tailgate . I might buy it but i'd prefer by far them to be regular versions and a Ford paired with a Mercury .
Not a vehicle but as i don't usually buy this brand ( the one i buy was out of stock ) , i just realize that
Tata is the owner of this company.. if someone had told me one day that i'd be drinking tea made by a car manufacturer..
does this means that the tea bags are Nano size ? ..

Nice one, I remember seeing that one in catalogs during my childhood, but got it only much more recently secondhand.

I got the white and gray one, still searching for the blue and
yellow/ black version in a good price
And.... I just got my first "Americans regular car" in big scale
A 1:24 2006 Ford Fusion, made by Maisto 😍

Nice.. i didn't even thought the Fusion would have a die-cast ( well, why not after all, i got a 1st gen Escape .. )
the only Fusion i have is a
police version11/09/2023 @ 21:00:55: Exiv96: Model Cars......who else collects them?
I remember Maisto's Fusion, and seeing it in a german toy store. I liked it, but its tyres were grey and chalky. Most large scale Maisto models had the same problem at that point, so I didn't dare buying it.
One day, I realized this was a chemical reaction with the rubber, and cleaning the tires with water and soap made them look alright. But I've never found a Maisto Fusion since then.

Nice
Probably one of the most interesting to build among the big Lego cars

It was also the most hardest LEGO set i've ever built
, but it's worth a try

Thanks
It always been my favorite gen
I'd like to buy another one to unpack it but unlike Hot Wheels/Matchbox , they're a little bit expensive to do so..

I finally got the Toyota Yaris GR from Solido:
Probably the closest I can get from my orange Yaris in term of color, but I still hope that some day they will release the regular Yaris in addition to that GR model.

I wouldn't hope too much for a 1/43 model. Toyota Europe doesn't commission promotional model cars anymore, and Toyota Japan keeps sticking to that weird 1/30 scale since fifteen years now...

)

Maybe. But just after I first read your post a few days ago, I learned that Bburago will also release a 1/43 GR Yaris. So will Majorette at a smaller scale. Something already done by Tomica. This looks like a "tree that hides the forest" situation, with scale model manufacturers choosing the wilder GR Yaris rather than the standard ones.
