I'll be honest, I've always liked the R33 a little bit more than the other GT-R's... Look forward to it.
 
I've found 4 of the 5 at Target stores earlier today. Have to go pick up my car at the dealer then I'll go searching for the last one.
So I found 4 of the 5 at the first two stores I went to, then the next 6 stores were duds. Go figure.

I hit like for Targets and only found two. Hopefully tomorrow is better.
 
I want these soo badly but I don't think I'll get them for a while...:indiff:
My surprise was that I, here in Melbourne found the whole Race Day set in a toy shop. With probably more than 10x complete sets.

I bought one set, and a couple of spare RX3 and 962's.
 
Found a DB5, 911 GT3 RS and a Gulf Corvette during a buy 2 get 1 promo :D. The store also has a Challenger Hellcat and a red Delorean but ultimately i settled on those 3.

Will post pics later.

New finds from Thursday. I would have a black Kafer Racer to go with the one here, but someone at TRU stole it out of my cart last time I was there. Haven't seen one since.

The hell ? People did that for a HW ?
 
You'd be surprised. Some of the stories people have told in this thread.

Toy cars are serious business. :lol: :crazy:
Jeez...

I mean it is addicting to collect these toys but not worth stealing imo.
 
Some people even grab them off kids.
*adjusts sombrero*

Edit: what I got.

One RX3 to have loose and a spare if anyone wants it. That many 962 for wheels/if anyone needs it. NOT FOR SCALPING.

I should stress that the shop I went to had at least 20 of EACH car. At least.

It took me ten minutes to realize that I wasn't losing my 🤬 and it actually happened. Found out for sure because a man said he saw it happen and looking for a replacement for me.
I wouldn't steal most cars..... Right Jarrod?

:p

I just finished posting @GroupB 's blue chrome TLV Nissan Diesel truck. He now has three out of four super rare 5-Year chrome TLVs. :O

Just unbelievable. These things are like the bigfoot of hot wheels/minicar collecting. Images alone of these chrome TLVs are rare. Thanks GroupB!! 👍
Oh my. :drool:
He did ask nicely. #Cano #VW #DragBus #Walmart #LOL #LOL
That may just be the single greatest story I've ever heard. :eek:

Pics or it didn't happen lololololol

If I can't find the 962 or RX-3 today, I may ask for those. much are you paying for those? 5.99AUD?
 
Dear lord, stop teasing me with these Race Day cars!

In other news, my i8 by Tomica arrived yesterday, which was a pleasant surprise because the delivery estimate was anywhere from the 5th June to 3rd of July. I have to say, they captured the styling of it very well.
 
Just went to Walmart for some things and checked out the cars. Hot Wheels are still old as usual. Figures they got in some new Auto World's that I just bought off eBay. But while I was standing there I glanced down and saw a 500pc limited edition gold 1:24 M2 Plymouth Cuda staring right back at me. So it wasn't all bad.

Incredible. :eek:

He's got to go and find the fourth one now, right? No use having an incomplete set. J/k :P :lol:

'Kay, my Walmart had nothing at this time. Are you willing to grab a quote and possibly ship in the smallest box you can squeeze two cars into? Can be half-torn cards if need be.
 
Picked this up on eBay last night. Then it inspired me to change my avatar. :D

Holy crap, Well at least that man is nice for looking a replacement for you
