I don't want to buy some (:p), but thank you for taking pics. I'm sure someone in the future will be grateful you recorded the packaging scans.
 
Those are just generic ones nabbed off the 'net, the ones I'm taking delivery of are actually a little rarer as they're pre-built, rather than kits.

This is what your typical kit looks like inside:

And a little scale reference:

Really do love these things. The bodies seem to be almost vac-formed; very lexan-like ABS.

They're awesome. I remember seeing them ages ago on Hobby Link Japan. The artwork is superb.

I took a chance at a blind-box someone sold. They had a full box set of 12 unopened. They didn't know what was inside. I didn't know what was inside. All I knew was that out of the 12, I wanted at least 1 '98 Impreza Tour de Corse. I was happy to find this bonus item inside.

It's been a couple days since I put anything. I decided it would be better to wait a few days between showing stuff. Cause then I'm showing something like every other day.

So lets get to it shall we.

IMAG0633_1_zpsedb3e389.jpg~320x480


Matchbox International Scout 4x4 - I love the scout. Had a neighbor who had one when I was little. Just a cool truck. Love to have one.
Matchbox VOlkwagon Savaro- on the fence. Nice enough. The details in the bed are awesome (it gots a chainsaw!) But I feel like it needs light Tampos.
Matchbox Land Rover Discovery- cool cool cool. Old land rovers rock. So much more character and uniqueness.

IMAG0632_1_zps6e59110c.jpg~320x480


Matchbox Jeep CJ(?) And Cherokee- I'm not sure which generation of jeep that is, but I still like it. Also, it's an unofficial Zamac. It's unpainted. The Cherokee is cool because my grandma had one. It's a good casting. But I wish the grill and lights were metal instead.

IMAG0631_1_zps6f7e12b5.jpg~320x480


68 Mercury Cougar - purple is hot wheels, blue is M2. I have a soft spot for the cougar, so I usually get them. The M2 is obviously better, but both are still cool.

IMAG0630_1_zps53f52d83.jpg~320x480


Maisto all stars Plymouth GTX- first Maisto. Love the car, good casting, but I hate the wheels. May eventually get a wheel swap.

M2 Chevy Nova - I like Novas. Simple. Good casting. Wish it had no blower and just a flat hood.

IMAG0629_1_zpsfe8c9772.jpg~320x480


M2 66 Dodge Charger - nice car, good casting, clean and simple
Auto world Challenger rallye - love this one. Looks so good. Might have to take better pictures.
Hot Wheels 71 Charger - I have one of these, but this is probably my favorite version of the Charger. So now I have 2.

IMAG0628_1_zpsc5249886.jpg~320x480


M2 66 Mustang, and 57 Fairlane - the mustang is fine. Great color. The Fairlane kills it though. Awesome car, great colors. There's a pink one I might have to get too.

IMAG0626_1_zps165d8a1d.jpg~320x480


M2 Camaro SS and RS - both cool. Both almost exactly the same. Same color, and still awesome.
Auto world Camaro - I used to hate this gen, but it's grown on me. Love this color.

IMAG0624_1_zps8e909736.jpg~320x480


M2 Firebird, Auto world Firebird- the older one is way better, but both are nice. Auto world captured the ugly of the new gen very well.

IMAG0623_1_zps07f7bcb3.jpg~320x480


Auto world Galaxie 500XL - galaxie's are sweet. Don't see em Much, so it's cool they made this.
Hot Wheels Torino- not gonna say much, cause iv talked about this one before, in other colors. Looks great in purple.

IMAG0621_1_zps60b33586.jpg~320x480


Hot wheels Cadillac Cien concept and 2013 Viper- the caddy was a cool concept and the casting is ok. Love the color, but it has a bunch of weird paint bubbles. Viper is great. Good color scheme. Looks nice.

IMAG0620_1_zps6b124922.jpg~320x480


Matchbox Karmaan Ghia convertible, Jaguar XK120 SE - I love both of these classics. The Jag is perfect. Spot on nailed it. Beautiful. The Ghia I like a little less, because it's a convertible, but it's still awesome.

IMAG0619_1_zps1e70ac2a.jpg~320x480


Hot wheels Fast Gassin reg Treasure Hunt - I know a lot of people leave the regular TH a lot, and I usually do too. This one I like though. I dislike that it's majority plastic, and has no Windows. But I feel like its something you could almost see on the street or at a hot rod show. Minus the big exhaust pipes, I could see it. Heck I'd drive it.

IMAG0618_1_zps01cda3f6.jpg~320x480


Favorite Model of the week. M2 Dodge Charger - ughhh it's so sick. Plum crazy purple, hood pipes, fat slicks, just awesome. Nailed it.


Also, found these yesterday. Sadly all fantasies. Cool if you like avengers. I only have passing interest in the Hulk Rockster. I felt what could have been done as a better alternative for Black Widow would be the new Harley electric motorcycle she rides in the new movie, and for Capt America, his ww2 Harley he rides on occasion. Would be good advertising for Harley, the avengers, and cool new Castings for hot wheels.

Insanity, what is the world coming to? Won't somebody please think of the children!

Seriously, nice pickups. 👍 Still yet to see a 510 Wagon in the wild myself. :lol:

Well, someone has to destroy the balance of non-HW cars, so I might as well do it myself, no? :sly: :lol:

And thanks, glad to know my pickups are approved. 👍 I had a few cars to choose (including a grey Mclaren P1 and a green Lambo Huracan), but I went with these two. I know the 510 has a great reputation around these circles, and it looks very cool to boot. The Espirit S1 is just really a case of a great-looking elegant sports car, and I decided to get a good scale one.

What! I post hot wheels all the time! XD. As much as I like tomica and such, I really don't like shelling out more than 5 bucks for little tiny cars. Also if you get another chance, get the Green Lamborghini. It's worth it. I rave over it all the time. It's possibly my favorite hot wheels casting. The Kenmeri gives it stiff competition though. The McLaren is really nice too. I love that lotus. I bought one, and thought about buying a second to custom, then I looked at it and realized it has everything. Short of turning it into a full racecar I can't improve it.
Not sure if anyone has seen this yet.

I know you do post HW cars most of the time, but you've only been doing so for a short while, right? Your collection is quite impressive, but you're a bit of a rookie when it comes to posts (this coming from me, how ironic)... :lol:

Ok, so the green Huracan is that good, huh? I did consider it as my second purchase (the Datsun had top prority due to how awesome it looks), but I eventually went with the Lotus. I might go for the Lambo one day, if I ever come across one again. Since I don't really do customizing (stock look for all cars, brah :dopey:), I'm keeping the Lotus stock. It already looks great enough, no need to fiddle with it. HW did a good job with a small scale model of the S1 Espirit. The only thing that surpasses it is Vanguard Corgi's model, but that's a larger-sized model, so there's that.

Shhhhhhh. It's not about how long XD. That's true. I had been occasionally picking up random models for the past handful of years. I had about 30 when I started, and a few that were super hard to find and I just picked one up random. the white kenmeri for example. But still! Lol. And my collection is average at best. It's pretty much all current stuff. As I've said, if I think it's cool I want it, but I'm not sucked into so much yet that ill slap down 15+ bucks for a single car, no matter how cool.

The Lamborghini is really that Good! The lotus as far as hot wheels castings, is one I feel that they nailed, more so than almost any others... And yet I still find them hanging alot.
