Maisto, a word.

[K-Tiger]

Do a BMW R71 or R75, please?

Indy BMW, passable, but we know you could do better.

Look at this shit, they even put the raised lettering on the oil bath air cleaner! Legible, no less!

Even if you DID miss the suicide shifter on the WLA?

 

[bigdaddyblue73]

Where does one get these wonderful toys?

 

[K-Tiger]

I got mine at Hobby Lobby, but i've seen the Maisto line at Walmart, and i think Target and TrU carry them, as well.


I will say my 1936 EL Knucklehead feels a lot sturdier than the WLA. Not sure why, but it does.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

that raised lettering is really impressive...whod'a thunk ANY toy manufacture would go thru the trouble of that?

 

[K-Tiger]

They even put the Harley name on the foot rests.

Hell, the tampoed markings on the Bbi MD 500 are just gibberish.

 

[oddball]

www.diecast-toys.com is where i get my maisto 1/18 fix.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

i really wish GMP would make a notchback 86-93 mustang that wasn't a state police car or a drag car

 

[Midget]

Wow, I need to find one of those. Very awesome.

 

[Lunchbox]

i would really love a bmw R71 or R75.
i have been collecting maisto motorcycles for a while now and target and walmart have them the cheapest but TRU usually has the harleys and hobby lobby has them but they are expensive.

 

[SR_501]

BMW R71 0r 75 would be tits. I need to remember to check for these next time I am out..

 

[YT1]

Use the 40% off coupons at Hobby Lobby.

 

[Lunchbox]

Use the 40% off coupons at Hobby Lobby.

i usually do but the last time i went in there i wasn't expecting to find the WLA and i wasn't gonna leave it behind.

 

[Dropshipbob]

K, was it you who had a picture of Snakeeyes riding one of these? When I saw that picture, I knew I'd have to do the same...if I can ever find one.

 

[K-Tiger]

I sure did.

Which reminds me, i need to paint the metal strap around the Thompson scabbard.

 

[Dropshipbob]

This would also be excellent to go with most any Cpt. America figure.

 

[White Tornado]

I found one of these at the PX yesterday. I've got it in the customs "bay" along with 900 other projects now. I need a local customs buddy to get me motivated.

I imagine most 1:18 figures are actually gonna look a little ( or a lot) large on it.

I find females work the best on the more vintage-based Harleys.

As for you, Paul, you've abandoned me to these Sandbox fanatics, i hope all your customs break.

 

[White Tornado]

haha. Unfortunately, I've abandoned everything altogether for the moment. I've got a handful of alt-uni figures going and the heavy walker. Big plans, little time right now.

i feel on both those points...the wife is very DE-motivational...she just compounds the problem

My wife is TDY right now, but I'm knee deep in an actual project for my "day job."

I know what you mean about the wife. My family, i love them, but they are so needy...

 

[Pickelhaube]

Pretty close .

 

[Wild weasel]

anybody see these harleys at hobby lobbys recently? Last I saw one was like 2 months ago, kinda regreting not buying them

 

[SR_501]

Pretty close .

Holy hell, Pickel! What did you do to it? Looks awesome!

 

[Wild weasel]

Holy hell, Pickel! What did you do to it? Looks awesome!

He pickeled it(thats an eddieism waiting to happen)

 

[PFunk]

1:18 is still proving too small for Joescale figures, and after dealing with 1:16 scale Bruder stuff, I'm still convinced that Joescale is NOT true 1:18, more like 1:17.

 

[SR_501]

He pickeled it(thats an eddieism waiting to happen)

lol, I am wondering if he made a kit for it.

 

[Wild weasel]

I think he was selling them on sshq, but I'm not a member there and almost never browse there

I picked up a '53 a number of weeks back, but i didn't see another '42 WLA. Walmart should have 1:18 motorbikes in red boxes in the toy car aisle, but the ratio of "manly" bikes compared to crotch rockets and enduros is pretty low.

You're really gonna want to confine riders to female figures.

 

[Wild weasel]

HEY! I love sport bikes amd dirtbikes I have a walmart right down the street(I don't know why but I pretty much never go there) and I probably already have all the 1/18 bikes they got but its worth a shot

 

[K-Tiger]

Enduros have their uses with Joes, crotch rockets not so much.

I need to check the PX, they usually have them. I really need Maisto's VX1000 for that Heartwrencher torso.

 

[Lunchbox]

all the targets and TRUs in the area have dropped the maisto bike altogether. i wonder why? its a good thing i have like 7 of the WLAs before they started disappearing.

 

[K-Tiger]

I'd like another one, and then a Marauder Thompson to hack up so the holster isn't empty.

I like the idea of the Maisto line. They're dirt cheap when you're not buying them at Hobby Lobby.

 

[Lunchbox]

i like them too but like i said they are gone and now all thats left are the crotch rockets at walmart, and they are in different packaging.

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, i gave up on TrU and choppers. The search continues!

 

[Wild weasel]

remember that place called ebay...yeah, thats the one

 

[K-Tiger]

I refuse to use PayPal, so eBay is a no-go anymore.

 

[Wild weasel]

why? did paypal screw you over?

 

[K-Tiger]

No, just don't trust it, plus it was a money-grab by eBay. Fuck that.


Plus eBay is full of morons anymore. I don't need the headaches.

 

[Wild weasel]

oh yeah, I've dealt with some whackjobs on ebay before
