My 6 treasure hunts.

Matchbox. Coming to a post near you.


Lotus%2BEvora%2B(2011%2BModern%2BRides).jpg

2011 Modern Rides. I blacklisted the Evora, but isotope green is the signature colour of modern Lotus cars for me. I'd pick this over yellow on any applicable Lotus anyday. Exception granted.

Dune%2BDog%2B(2014%2BMission%2BForce%2BJungle%2BSet).jpg

2014 Mission Force: Jungle.
Damn offroad cute looking things.

Bentley%2BContinental%2BGT%2B(2009%2BBest%2Bof%2BBritish).jpg

2009 Best of British. It's not the dark metalflake blue that's more accessible.

Don't know how luck came around, but I even secured the Superfast dark green recently. Goofball watchers sat on it. Snagging it immediately, the collection is completed! Hurray!
 
Just as glorious as I'm sure we all thought it would be.

Flipping awesome.

How were you able to get an actual picture of the kid's reaction right after Cano ran away with it?
 
Heads up: If the Dollar General I'm in right now has any indication, DG stores are starting to get these:

I found one $TH (Twin Mill) and one MB Land Rover Defender 110.
 
I thought Dollar General was a dollar store(we don't have them where I live). That electric skillet is not a dollar(or I'm moving there lol).

Sometimes...... I suspect that Google search engine is ran by some supernatural force. They even know how celebrities look naked. Don't ask me how they know, they just do!

It's more of a discount store.

Dollar General and Family Dollar, despite the 'Dollar' in their names, are not dollar stores.

Those shippers have been hitting all week. I missed out on one store near me, the other hasn't put theirs out yet.

Also, check AutoZone stores too, they are getting new shipments. I actually found one of the F-150's I was looking for in one today but left it behind since Andy is sending me one.
 
John posts a picture of a HW display and a6's immediate reaction is to price check the electric skillet next to it.

Magic or something.


Edit: Forgot to mention that I ordered a Kyosho Nurburging 24hr Toyota 86 from Japan Booster last night. Thought I better grab one before I forget about it, again. Also, I was bored lol.

I don't have Dollar General by me, so I had to find something else interesting about the intel photo. :lol:

Ranchero that I was going to respray today with the unseasonably warm weather, but its too breezy to do so

Never trust a goat with Hot Wheels :p

Hey! Last time I ever do something nice for you and anyway I don't see the problem. :dopey: :lol: Congrats on the Twin Mill and the Matchbox Discovery is a nice find too. 👍
 
Is the MB Defender rare or something?

Oh, and I got all the HW Christmas cars for .60 each at Wally.

Anyone know if M2 still sells this series (Auto Projects) in stores these days?

Thanks. That's now my second Twin Mill $TH (How!? :eek:), but the Defender, that literally came out of no where; it had actually fell off a peg I had yet to check. :boggled:

My best guess is that my jacket I was wearing knocked it down and I didn't feel it. :indiff:

I got mine from Toys R Us, probably 3, 4 months ago now, but even then, it was a very random find. They were $1-something by then(probably $5~$6 originally), which tells me that they were really old clearance price.
 
Ah. I saw one today, but I didn't like the window color.

Well then, that tells me that sites like eBay are my best chance and hope. :grumpy:
 
Come find me Johnny......



:p
Seriously though. One of the best M2s I own.
If that was anything but a Road Runner like I have, I'd be... well, I actually don't know what I'd be doing. :lol:

And let me guess, that flatbed is the Greenlight International Durastar? :guilty:
 
It is. You have a Road Runner?
 
Nice Hakomeri. 👍


I say that because I'm getting the Kenmeri and Hakosuka confused again. :irked:
