lol@ Karan. Congratulations Vasanth. I see smoke coming out of your CC. I just love the transformer toys. So much engineering has gone into making these things. I really appreciate that. Waiting for Praveen to post his set of goodies here.

Shopping diecasts with another scalemodel collector, in this case, with scalemodel guru, this is unavoidable i guess. Wellys burnt my pocket badly, i didn't expect wellys to be available so soon here, but since i saw them, i didn't want to risk loosing them.
Yeah, need to control now on else i will be in deep $hit in coming months.

Guggga dear, you do get Kinsmart very near to your office. I saw few at a shop in a big mall in Noida, ya the Great India Place or Palace, whatever.

Now I really don’t know the shop’s name but it was in front of an elevator going upwards. I mean if you are at starting point of elevator you could look at that shop over your right shoulder.

Kinsmart models are not properly showcased in boxes so you might have to ask an attendant for small pull-back cars that look like real cars (I’m not sure they understand the words scale models).

Good luck !!!

Guggga · 12-30-2009, 08:10 PM

Karam Bhai Smile

I think you are referring to Lifestyle at Great India Place. Yea, they are the only ones who keep the cars out of the boxes.
Infact I was there yesterday itself Smile

. However, they don;t have the Subaru and the Mitsubishi and infact the attendant didn;t even remember ever having received a stock of those. I even checked with a few retailers at Khan Market and CP, again, the answer was no.
I believe that some of the kinsmart stock is only comin to B'lore n Mumbai for some weird reason!

Btw, when are we getting to see the Welly Stock? Pls reserve one red Miura for me Smile

Forgive me for being naive, but who is this renowned Praveen Sathaye saab we are talking about? What's his nick here on SMC?

**winstoncds** · 12-31-2009, 01:44 AM

Praveen Sathaye aka praveen_sathaye. Fantastic pics of his airport and railroad setup as posted by Vasanth. Check the links Karan.
Gugga...7 cars? The customs are going to do a Red Indian war dance around your parcel when it arrives. All the best brother. I will pray for the parcel tonight.

Guggga jee! Long time no see! Yeah, the chevelle is yum indeed, it came home courtesy praveen, he recommended it to me. I was torn between 1/2 mustang and chevelle Big Grin

Brother from another mother! lol! i like that Big Grin

Yeah, get the impala, you won't regret it, it's 10 times better than the pink cady of maisto, interiors are topnotch! Yeah, now we have same set of muscle cars Big Grin

7 more cars! Man, i pass my crown of thorns of 'most impulsive collector' to you! You are going to be owned by banks for sure in near future! Btw, what all cars/scales did you order? and how are you going to get them shipped to india? tell us, we all are curious to hear.

I have bad news for you regarding kinsmarts. The Subarus were last 2 pieces, i picked one and praveen picked one. The lancer was the last piece Sad

I will however keep an eye for these here, will pick them up for you if i come across them again.

He is another Oracle! Big Grin

yet to make his presence felt here due to some technical issue all these days. he will be bombarding us with his pics soon. Check out the links i had posted earlier about him. He's the inspiration for me to collect scalemodels.
