Gaaaaah it was a joke!

But seriously though, photos look 80 times nicer if you photograph them on a large white sheet of paper or something with a smooth clean surface. Looks nicer than taking it on the carpet beside your shoes

hey those shoes are well mine but I never use them

I'm waiting for someone to complain about them wanting me to get a closeup on a car they wanted

and the camera is bad, it looks like a professional camera, but is crap
my good one is missing it's battery

Black Friday today. Last thing I expected to find were Hot Wheels.

Not even close to a Treasure Hunt you or I desire(I'd rather have the A-Team Van!), but I found it. First Treasure Hunt I've ever seen, and I even put the thing back at first since the green color tab didn't even register in my head!

As for the Green Lantern Challenger, I literally saw about six of them. None of them had painted headlights.

'Gratz on the T-Hunt! I still have yet to see one, but my day will come...maybe

lol I saw one with painted headlights and left it there because I thought it was a regular variation for the car since it's special

 

[a6m5]

I'd trade the Treasure Hunt for the painted headlight Challenger...... actually, if I could have just one of the two, I'd take the normal, standard Challenger over this Treasure Hunt.

I was the first one to get to this untouched one-sided display in the store. It was Black Friday, and this place nobody visits, line was very short(only line I did all-morning), so I joined in. While everybody's running for Blu-rays, electronics, etc. I was checking out Hot Wheels, ammunition, then sleeping bags...... *ahem* The point is....... if it's this hard to score a Treasure Hunt, chances are, I'll never see one again.

P.S. Thank you! :tup:

No one wants Hot wheels, dude.

As for the challenger with painted lights, just grab one without and paint it on.

Exactly

I found a Green Lantern Challenger with the painted headlights a few days ago. The store had dozens of regular Challenger's and at the back of the peg I found one with painted headlights. I'll post photos sometime this week

Awesome grabs, NISM0_SKYLINE!

Same goes for commodoreben. I traded an arm and a leg for one, you lucky bastard!

YEAAAHHH! I'm excited for you. And I actually like the El Camino hunt.


And speaking of T-Hunts, I found these two at Big Lots today. I really didn't expect to find anything good there, as it's the day after Black Friday, but I guess I lucked out.

And here's the new recolor of the Lamborghini Estoque. Found it in a 10 pack.

Are those Block Fiesta's worth anything? Because I saw a few at my local supermarket.

What the heck, man?

Not sure if they're worth anything, but it's a Ken Block Fiesta! What more could you want? 💡

 

[Frostyboys]

ok today I got a free Lamborghini Estoque
it was just sitting already opened on the bottom shelf and the staff peoples let me keep it

That's theft any way you look at it.

Would you guys believe me if I told you I stepped in Zellers today, and found a HUGE number of Subaru Imprezas, Aston Martin One-77s, Corvette Stingray Concept (both versions) and GT40s?

 

[a6m5]

I like the Avanti Treasure Hunts.

Two of them? Really? 👍

 

[Frostyboys]

but it was already open and the clerks or something let me keep it
they basically gave it to me for free

 

[CodeRedR51]

At Wal-Mart? Sure it's only a $1 car, but it's really not up to them to just give it to you.

it's a basic and it was out of the package and just sitting there

Dude, you can't really justify that at all in any legal-based arguments. Walking out of a store without paying for it spells trouble... for someone. If it's not you, it's the employee or any other staff member.

The only way I can see it being justified is if the staff are instructed to dispose of damaged merchandise like how it's done where I work, but even then that rule got written out. Now even the employees aren't permitted to pocket damaged merchandise from the store.

 

[Frostyboys]

hmm anyway I got to open a decades box there and found two errors, and I couldn't get them because we're too close to christmas

 

[Robin]

I bet they were thinking "yeah sure you can have it, walk out those doors and see what happens"

Only joking.

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

I'm turning you in, Frosty.

Btw, what were the errors?

 

[Avaruus-olio]

Couple of cars that i bought today. (Two T-Hunts 👍👍)

Does anyone know what this is, it doesnt say what it is in the bottom? Its made in 1978.

And some older cars.

 

[Robin]

^Great '12 T-Hunt find 👍

 

[Avaruus-olio]

There was a third one too, but my frend bought it.

 

[Slash]

I love how cheap these things go brand new nowadays around here. I buy 'em for 98 cents a peice around here.

The UK sucks for prices, we pay £1 each which is $1.54!

It might have been designed in '78, but that particular car is no more than a few years old at best.
