Check out my haul!
37 cars arrived. Took several hours to unpack everything. Kyosho, by far, has the best packaging - no screws!

Quite the mess:

A couple cars I was expecting to be fairly poor based on the pictures where I ordered them. Boy was I surprised how nice they were, considering how cheap they were.

Biggest disappointment? Easy, this 365 GTB. The hood doesn't fit at all, and look at the paint bubbles! This one most likely will go back. The other Hotwheels Elite models I received were very nice, unlike this POS. What a letdown, as this is one of my very favorite cars.

I had one extraneous part left out on the table. Don't know where it came from, so may have a wind wing to offer up to someone who needs it.

Another surprise was the Minichamps McLaren MP12. Read alot of comments about how terrible a model it is, but I think it's beautiful.
My last big order is to come sometime next week (about this size), along with a few ebay items I got. That builds out the basic framework of my collection - from there on out it will be just individual purchases to fill in and replacements with better quality models as I can find them.

PIC - here's all of them together, except for the 365, which is boxed up for return.
I've got to get some display cases!

I put my 12 scales together. Probably move them into my home office.

Great haul....look for the Kyosho version of that Ferrari.
The HW version is awful (wrong shape & not good details). The Kyosho is beautifully done.
