New toys for office desk

Side by side against my hot wheels on my desk, it’s night and day. The 64 Para puts them to absolute shame. The headlights aren’t stickers, the mirrors are proper, and the fenders are proportionally flared. I accidentally got a rectangle headlight meteor shower, so now I have the circle on the way
You sold me! Just ordered a 64para in the round headlight ice cap. Shipping from Hong Kong, so mid to late October arrival.

*Shipping from Shenzhen, 518000. So not Hong Kong, but close.

Where did you find the round headlights model, striking out in my Google searches. I want one in trail dust with round headlights...

I found the version with the square headlights but I have yet to find an example with the round headlights in any color...

I ordered mine off of feebay, pay more to avoid any weird shipping tarriffs.

They may not make it, I can’t find it either. Which is weird because it is, in my opinion, the quintessential first edition color scheme.

Found a meteor round headlight on walmart. Looks like it is available to ship!


Black one shipping out of California:

That's a great point. From what I could tell the 2 locations the white ice caps were shipping out of were either the U.K. or china. Nothing available stateside when I looked last night but apparantly Walmart has one in the Meteor shower color. Guess I'll find out.

Check this out, found while digging for Blue’s white w/circle lights. Walmart has one from GCD, which is the company that makes the GX version. Looks good.

Dang, the GCDs looks like the best version I've seen so far. Found this blue/white with the FE rack. Looks very detailed.

Yeah, you said Walmart so I got to lookin’. They do the GX that I’ve seen, but never seen an LC until now. May be a long shot, but at least walmart comes with some buyer protections
 
Part 2:

After seeing posts from others, I stopped by every Walmart and Target on this side of OKC between work and home. Mainly seeing if I could score a black chase LC250. No luck with that but it did turn into a collection of Land Cruisers. I also 3D printed a roof rack with MaxTrax and Thule box to better match the one I painted to match mine.

So, welcome to the workplace Land Cruiser Jamboree.

Bob, loving it. I’ve collected a few as well, but they are on my work desk in a facility where I can’t take pics.

With that said, I might need to get you to start building accessories for me too! For a fee of course haha.
 
My wife ordered me a surprise, arrived today:

When I first opened this thread a few weeks back I thought it was funny. Then I thought, “Maybe I’ll get a Hot Wheels just in case I’ll want one in the future.”

Then my nephew had his first communion across the country and I couldn’t be there. He loves Hot Wheels. I’ll ship him one.

Just got this card in the mail. I guess he isn’t mall crawling.

Found yesterday at Walmart. Doors are kind of janky, but not a terrible addition to my growing fleet of mini Cruisers…
