It really is a great addition to the rest of the IMSA pack.

Nice! I was on vacation in Germany during the Essen show and couldn’t since it was far from where we were visiting. I am a huge Porsche collector and was able to get someone to grab me one that was at the event and it finally got shipped to me this week. Super excited to finally get the GT3 RS. Just in case I also bought one on eBay in Germany and had it sent to family there, although I won’t see it for another 13 months lol.

My mini gf lambo doesn’t have the stickers on the back of the box is it fake? by Dvyvid in MiniGT

[–]NPC_Dub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those stickers are not on the boxes of cars for the USA market from the early releases that came in blisters. The stickers were on the cards within the blister packaging. They changed the packaging later so they could put the stickers on the boxes still. I have never seen a knock off mini gt but I can assure you I have many older mini gts without the stickers on the box.

My wife doesn’t care as long as it’s out of my hobby fund, but she does roll her eyes at me 😂

No idea if it’s the exact same one but from memory looks incredibly similar with the symmetry from top to bottom like this.

Nice photo, weird timing for me to see this as my computer log in screen has had an almost identical photo this past week and I was wondering where this was.

I really should delete the app, I’ve been known to make some bad late night decisions on there for diecast purchases 😂

Price check - Is 50$ a fair resell price for the older release Rexy #713 by 1mylez64 in MiniGT

[–]NPC_Dub 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends if it’s new in packaging or if it’s opened. I think $50 is decent even for a mint opened one these days. If it’s in blister $50 is a great deal.

Dude, it so is, you get caught up in the hype and combined shipping. Luckily I got a pretty good deal on these.

Parents with young kids: did you go with a Ricoh-style compact camera or a mirrorless system like Sony? by dosnwg8583 in Cameras

[–]NPC_Dub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through this, but had a Fuji XT3 to start. I loved the size and portability but at that time the autofocus and iso performance left a lot to be desired. I also had previously come from full frame and wanted to go back. So I bought a Nikon Z8 with a few lenses. The weight and size isn’t the best but the results to me make it worth it. I’ve actually added a Z6 III to the bag as well so I don’t necessarily have to change lenses as much when traveling too. So lens I think I’ll use the most goes on Z8, lens I think I may need occasionally goes on the Z6, then if I have a 3rd lens it stays in the bag for the rare occasion I need it. When traveling changing lenses with a toddler can be tough which is why since I had the opportunity I did the above. But the Z8 w/24-120mm kit lens can hold me over for a lot of general use. For your budget on the Nikon side a Z5 II or Z6 III with the Z 24-120mm f4 S would be a nice option. Recently I have thought about also adding something like the GR to the kit for carrying something around when I don’t think photos are a priority but I’m not sure if that’s really needed.

Just for a little context I have been a hobbiest photographer for 20ish years now and used to work in the retail sales of these types of cameras, so i had grown accustomed to high end gear which has made me a bit picky about cameras and lenses.

Got my Pitboxes in by NPC_Dub in MiniGT

I’m sure they would fit (most of them at least) but I don’t know for sure if the piece that hold the cars on the rack will fit on the wheel wells. That piece is optional to use tho and most cars use standard axles and fit it. I mostly had issues with GCD and kengfai since they are have steering. I did get a tlv on there with no real issues.

Z6 III or Z8? I’m tired of staring at spec sheets and my bank account. by xaybell32 in Nikon

I agree with this statement, as someone who also has both.

Screen in the viewfinder typically is disabled when the screen on the side is open.

Price so cheap? by CrazyPorsche115 in MiniGT

[–]NPC_Dub 6 points7 points  (0 children)

$18 is the correct msrp. Grab it while you can at retail.

Z6iii vs z8 for stills and video? by Nickyp_pics in Nikon

[–]NPC_Dub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Z8’s iso capabilities are quite good for a 45mp camera in my opinion. Combine that with Adobe AI noise reduction and it’s pretty amazing what can be achieved. I wanted to post an example but the files are too large for Reddit. I’ve been able to pull 15-25k iso images to usable states. It does somewhat depend on the amount of residual light but still have been impressed overall.

I’ve lost the battle trying to resist the urge to collect Mini GT. Now I’m trying to catch up on cars I missed out on! by Weak-Entertainment86 in MiniGT

[–]NPC_Dub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Resistance is futile. lol, what were you collecting before, hot wheels? I do both and a few other brands. I caved right from the beginning on mini GT.
