Edit: never mind.

Hold that thought...

Edit 2: Looks like this one:

So this is what I expect to see tomorrow night: (I'll be checking this store in the morning though, just in case)

I WANT DAT BLUE EVO!!!!! 👍 👍

 

[RACECAR]

Brown wheels = ewwww.

Quick stop to my local Wal-Mart this morning yielded a bunch of new cars, no TH's though.

Stopped by that store that is expecting over 700 cars this morning just in case and was surprised to see the already existing BOD (that was almost empty yesterday) spilling over. Ran back out and grabbed a cart to go through it. Only managed to get a couple cars (no TH's) and came to the conclusion while putting the cars back in that someone had already beaten me to it as the old cars from the bottom of the box were piled on top of the new cars when I got there. I don't believe this is the new BOD they are expecting. I think they had a few new boxes and threw them in. (at least I hope...)

So will still be stopping by there again late tonight....just in case.

Photo of finds a bit later.

Edit: New sneak peeks:

Woah! Can't wait for that Z06 and Boxster Spyder! What mix will they be in? Same as the Vipers? If so, that's going to be one mix I'll definitely be hunting for.

Purchases from the flea market today:

Peugeot 405
Aston Martin V8 Vantage (Finally found one!)
Aston Martin DB9 (New Model, so much better without the FTE2s)
Corvette Stingray Concept (New Model)
Hot Bird (Opening hood and metal base from the cars of the decades series)
VW SP2 (x2, Easter and All Stars)
Porsche 911 Carrera

The flea market was looking pretty good, several models I have missed out on that I was hoping to find. The grab bags are bigger this time (Used to be four or three cars, now it's around 6-8), however they're mainly full of cheap Chinese knockoff cars. But there were several old Matchbox/Majorette/Hot Wheels in there. Was considering buying the Green 1995 First Editions Dodge Ram 1500 (I had one as a kid and loved it a lot, but of course I can't find it), but it was $4... Still on the hunt for several models I'm sure I probably won't find in the flea market. Tomorrow, I think I'll do some retail store hunting.

Mix M, same as the Viper I believe.

Make an offer. Worst they could say is no. What wheels did it have on it?

Sweet, looking like a good mix for this one.

It has the 5DOT wheel on it, I remember my childhood one had the 5SP wheels on them. Not sure if it's worth getting it even if I can talk them down, just because the only reason I'd get it is for nostalgia sake. Along with that is that people sell stuff to the flea market, so I don't think there is a vendor I can talk to, only a cashier. But that's a possibility still. Urgh, just not sure if it's worth getting at all if all I want is it for nostalgia.

Chrome or white? The white 5Dots are worth more. I'd offer them $2 and see if they take it.

 

[MedigoFlame]

They're the chrome 5DOTs, so yeah worth about $3 (on South Texas Diecast) carded.

This morning's assortment of finds:

 

[AOS-]

And you're about to tell me that you got 2 of everything you see there and you're ready to ship it out to my door.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Nope, 1 of each.

Going by that store again tonight on a hunch (around midnight) so if you want I can grab another of everything and send..

 

[AOS-]

That'd be awesome, skip the purple truck. Thanks, yo.

 

[CodeRedR51]

No Little Purple Express?

Edit: Check out some of these EPIC Hot Ones coming out soon:

Edit 2: OH BOY. (HW Racing BMW E30 M3)

 

[Cano]

That BMW is awesome. E-bay will have to do. It also screams for a wheel swap.

Also, on the Hare splitter (the blue Golf), it's pretty lame. The one that cae out in the 80s was way cooler because it had an actual Blackwall tire in the roof rack:

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah if you haven't noticed Mattel is cheap now days.

 

[TheeFrogmanlego]

Yeah if you haven't noticed Mattel is cheap now days.

keeping the price at 99 cents .. HW's of that quality should be 3 $ with inflation..

 

[CodeRedR51]

Well that's about what the Hot Ones go for.

So. Money. 👍

I also liked your Torino. Medigo has few nice ones in there, too. Nice cars. 👍

 

[RACECAR]

Epic BMW E30 M3

 

[Antonisbob]

Nice lifted Toy pickup.

Nice lifted Toy pickup.

They should have done a black one. Back to the Future II(the second vehicle lol).

 

[Spacegoat]

^ If they do ever make the black Toyota pickup from Back To the Future, I'd seriously buy like a dozen of them.

Edit 2: OH BOY. (HW Racing BMW E30 M3)

Oh god, yes.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just updated my inventory list. I have a couple extra Sugar Rush Miata's available if anyone wants one or both.

 

[photonrider]

What kind of crap did they drive that car through? For crying out aloud - mod that car right away you buy it. I would rather it have no wheels at all.

MUST . . HAVE!! That BMW with detailed headlights and grills! .99 cents each? I feel like a kid in a candy store. Good peeks, Turbo, thanks for the heads-up.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Those are actually the "Hot Ones", which are not .99 cents but actually $2.50-ish. The BMW is in the HW Racing series and will end up being $5.

 

[AOS-]

I don't see any "HW Racing" in that Bimmer at all.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Mix #6.

Ah! Thanks for clearing that up. I was confused about the price; unbelievable for that kind of detail. Still - may be a good addition to any Euro-collection, Bimmer collection, or Premium set.

Why do you find such nice stuff from flea markets? I want a blue V8 Vantage myself.
