I'll have to show my Taito

I'll have to show my Taito Super Mechanics one. All around a better value in my opinion, and the Konami Gashapon Pod Vehicles are scale. No diecast, but for the money it's great.

The 1/144 Takara one made this obsolete, but since it was made in low numbers it came and went fast, these still linger about. The original Bandai DX one this was retooled from came with more stuff, and did more too, but it was made to be a toy and wasn't as fancy.

The chara-Wheels sets got really cheap, they used to be $50 each! Their biggest issue is they're still Hot Wheels, so the detail is lacking when compared to an Aoshima piece.

I wouldn't get to upset with that paint rubbing, it is "weathered" after all, it just gives it a more realistic look.
