Ucc Coffee/lawson Skyline Scale Models

[Rezz]

If any of you guys are interested in Skyline models, heres the post from the general discussion forum... These have been out for a while (sorry if repost!) and I think are ending soon. 120yen *per can*, so to get the model it'll cost 240yen for the double can super set

nice! boss had a similar thing going in january. I picked up a few including 32 GTR. they were pretty crappy models though, but hey, for 120yen inc the cofee it's not too bad.

oh yeah.. i love the jap カンコーヒー!

got a whole collection of other little super cars when I was there last!

The UCC C110 GT-R is particularly good, with a minute 'Skyline GT' badge on the rear quarters and the rear tail light panel showing excellent detail. I say this because I also got these Nissan maodels from 'Furuta' confectionary company who make these chocolate eggs a la Kinder suprise... the eggs were delicious but the models inside were not very well done with pretty dodgy quality, but in their defense they're even smaller than the UCC models at what I would guess is 1/82nd scale:

UCC (left), Furuta (right). The Furuta C110 had worse quality, yet they were still able to add fender mirrors...

You can actually make out the Skyline badge on the rear quarter if only I could hold the camera steady.

Pretty impressive for 1/72nd scale

Obligatory mobile phone size comparison shot... yes those incessant Cameron Diaz Softbank commercials did their job...

She was on Smap last week (or the week before?) and said it was the best show she's been on... lol

mm softbank have the flashiest looking stores too. hard to say no. nearly had me trading in the tuka pre-paid for a new keitai. shame i'd hardly ever get to use it!

hey Rezz, i see you got yourself a sharp 910 SH. damn good phone isnt it? i, too, bought the 5 mega pixel camera and lo and behold it came with a phone!

did you take those pics with the phone or another camera? shame on softcok..they dont want any of us actually thinking we can export any of those little beauties over seas where every other model is inferior....except maybe a couple of nokias..

on another note, i saw a twin pack of boss cans in a conbini with a skyline model attached to them..

is that one of the same models by any chance?

damn...i missed it.

my wife says shes really hot.. but i turn to her and say no..shes a bitch that only ever came good in the Mask and even then Carrey eclipsed her.

....my wifes much hotter and much more desirable..she is japanese after all...

and NO..thats NOT the reason i bought a softcock phone...

m3gtr: Yeah got the 910SH, the camera is almost as good as my 5 year old Canon IXY 5.0 mega but the lens is 'crapper'... haha. If anything it's good for HUUUGE pics and the 3x optical zoom absolutely kills my old Panasonic P505iS with 20x DIGITAL zoom... lol.

Ganta: Yes theres six models, and an extra one (V36 Skyline 350GT Type SP sedan) that you have to go online and try and win by doing this internet version of 'scratch and win'... each can is worth one point, and it costs 2 points for one chance at getting the V36. There are 6 'scratchy bits' that you have to scratch only two of to see if you get a match (just like sctratch and win). I tried 6 times but lost every time!!!! I don't even like canned coffee...

Yes it's one of them. I got all six but cost 1,440yen... which if I saw all six packaged by themselves in a box I'd probably think twice about it, but the lure of 12 free cans of tin flavoured 'coffee' was too much good value Nah I just like Skylines...
