So...are there any of you out there with REALLY GOOD VX plastic/metal toy models interested in having them photographed???

Would like a couple of different ones...

ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN THE "UNIQUE BLACK ONE"...someone purchase from "CYRK"

Post a pic if youre interested...

I will pay shipping to and from San Diego.
Need them in the next 10 days or so.

THANKS....:_steering:thumbup:

Looks like those Lambo doors are catching on. ;) And yeah the one on the right is really nicely done.

Just picked up several Cararama's on eBay UK last week. Here's what I have:

1:43 - Foxfire, Red, Blue, Proton (yellow), Silver
1:72 - Foxfire, Blue, Purple (Peacock?), Silver

I believe Cararama made them in only six colors, so right now I lack a 1:43 Purple/Peacock, a 1:72 Red, and a 1:72 Proton/Yellow. Should be picking up the 1:43 Red this week though.

Having looked over all the models in Cyrk's collection as well as the Japanese guy's website, I really do think the Cararama/Hongwell models are the best quality. Too bad they didn't make anything in a 1:18 scale. :(

The "Purple" 1:72 is like the one in my fuzzy hole. (:rollo:) I believe the Peacock is really a teal color, like Sprey had, officially "Blazed Peacock Mica". The 1:43 in my pic is more of a blue, so I don't think it's a Peacock, but the 1:72 I have (not pictured) is definitely Peacock. IF there is a 1:43 purple, I'll pay a purty handsome ransom to obtain it!.....Anybody???

Well what do you know? I have what appears to my male eyes to be identical medium/bright blue 1:43 and 1:72 models, but I wasn't aware there was a teal one out there.

Sounds like we'll be gunning for the same model. But maybe I have an inside edge since I already asked the typical UK sellers to contact me in advance if they find them. ;)

And I'm still on the hunt for that 1:72 Proton.

Btw, I had a heck of a time getting my Foxfire 1:43. The first one I ordered was from a guy in Spain, and for whatever reason it got intercepted at customs in New York and was returned to sender. Fortunately he refunded my money with no problems.

The second seller was in the Netherlands, and it took 4-6 weeks to get the model. I was just before disputing the transaction in PayPal when it arrived, just one day ahead of the eBay/PayPal cut-off. Let's hope the other rare colors aren't as difficult to obtain.

Jo, I bought the "Unique Black One" from Cryk and you are welcome to it. I also have a VX towing a snow mobile from Cryk and a large silver R/C VX that I got from Biju when he was liquidating his collection.

I know it's not a model but I do have the press kit that Isuzu handed out before the VX's introduction. I can take some quick pictures of what I have so you can choose, but any of it is yours to use.
