Scale car hobby and variety

I bought a few of these sets when I was in Japan. It is a case that folds out to be a playset. This one has an elevated parking. It is in played with condition, so worn corners and even some of the stickers. But it is pretty much all there!

I decided to check the strip of stores near my Fairfield clinic. This is CVS, TJ Maxx and Safeway. CVS and TJ didn't have anything I wanted and a very limited selection. I decided to check Safeway. I found the display stand and a quick glance netted me these 3 Hot Wheels. If you know some of these places, the card gets bent and creased as people look and put back some of these back.  I am not a hardcore collector anyway, so I bought the ones I liked with intentions of opening them.  I have the Mazda REPU, but the other 2 I didn't. I liked the Hover mode Delorean from Back to the future.  Here is a quick video of those.

Like anyone that loves toys, I'm very nostalgic. As an adult, I am more of a collector (like most) and also share the hobby with my kids I made this video when my eldest son was a few months old. At the time, I was getting older lots of used cars and rebuilding them. Now rebuilding them has a lot more resources!

During my move,I got rid of all the paint and brushes... I felt I wouldn't be able to do modeling again. In 2016, I went to Japan and was given a few Nissan leopard models. I got back to the US and started to get into it. One model was pre painted, it was a Zenki F31 Leopard. I slapped that together and enjoyed it. Since I am into F31 leopards and Infiniti M30s (I own F31club) I decided to make one of the models a convertible for fun. Then I scored a model I have wanted for a long time. I was gonna run through it just to get it completed, but I decided I need to dedicate some time and make it right! It is almost done. Gotta paint the tail lights. Well, being an F31 enthusiasts, I ended up trying to collect the older models of the F31 Leopard I got a couple more that I want and I will be content with these. The box art is what grabs me and something I didn't appreciate when I was younger. I'm also at the point where I won't make these and
