I'll PM you. One thing to note, I don't have PayPal.

That's alright, we'll work something out. How's a years worth of premium sound?

I finally found an A-Team today , I'll post pictures later. Along with my other purchases.

 

[Cano]

I have money , you jelly ?
No but really i didn't have time to scroll thru the whole thing and check for duplicates were there's people buying cars of the lot and the guy said no lower than 280 * i paid 255 for 310 cars .. that's a 55$ profit considering i can sell each car for 1$ and there are cars that are worth 20$ in the lot i bought that i know i can sell for 10$
Im not saying im selling the cars for 3-8$ i said there valued that , and when i mean top condition i mean the boxes are pristine condition, im selling most cars for 2$ the price cars stay close to there mark * 2-5$ less*
If your interested PM me =D

Wait, wait, wait. Do all of your GTX's down there have 5-spokes?

That's precisely what I was thinking. I wish I could find that car with 5 Spokes.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

First time I heard of that! I've had cars missing (bought the Marvel 15 Pack recently - one car was missing; reg price $49.99, got it for $10.00) but never replaced, esp with other brands. Would they even fit? I'll be watching for that.

Congrats, man! Not traded posts with you for quite some time - but I seem to have overtaken you, haha.

Yeah, it's strange to hear that employees of stores that do a wacked move like this and not getting busted . Just keep a eye out on some of these abnormal packs in stores, but depending where you're at, it can be scarce.

Thanks on the congrats of my post. I feel like I'm part of the GTPlanet family, but even closer now . Yeah I would trade or request anytime to any of you to keep an eye out, but I don't have a PalPal or anything to send the funds to you guys. Soon though.

Nice collection TheeFrogmanlego! Always enjoy looking at how people set up their collections. Hard to do so for me since my parents probably wouldn't appreciate it...

Won't be heading to Vietnam, so I'll try and send them sometime. I'll PM you. One thing to note, I don't have PayPal.

Edit: Really want that C-Class Touring and Escort Rally Ben... Very jelly.

Quite an update today...

Turns out I won't be heading to Vietnam... My passport didn't meet the requirements for traveling to Vietnam. Despite that, my father was eligible to go, however the flight was delayed until "today." This morning, watched my dad leave to Vietnam alone. He did tell me I can use his van until he gets back, so I have my own car for two weeks! And I just called my new workplace and told them I can start soon, so they scheduled me to start Monday.

Alright, onto Hot Wheels/Matchbox stuff. Also, borrowing my aunt's camera since my dad will be taking my crappy one and giving it to my cousins in Vietnam. Do the pictures seem a bit better?

Target: Disappointingly nothing, as usual.

Walmart: It looked ok, however the dump bin was OBVIOUSLY raided. Someone got a cart and separated some stuff. You could tell they went through and looked really hard for the Super TH Beetles. (Bunch of Beetles lined up on the side)
This is what I got... They did get new MB stuff.

Dodge Dart
Porsche 911 GT3 MB
Two Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca's
The ever ugly Evo 7, but...I'll take it anyways.
Bad Bagger (Don't really like motorcycles, was just curious about it though)

After feeling disappointed with the retail stores with new stuff, I decided I'd go to the other side of town and look at the flea market and RiteAid (for 1:24 and 1:43 stuff). Boy was I glad to check out the flea market... A rather large purchase, so I'll put in several pictures.

Ford Focus RS! (Both New Models and Holiday)
Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera
Porsche Carrera GT
Two 2008 Ford Focus's (Don't know why I bought them, just found them interesting. Hate the RL ones)

Mercedes Benz CLK GTR! (An accidental spotting in the pegs)
Error packaged Citroen C4 Rally (They had two, but since I got one back in NH, I'll just take one.)
Two Dodge Viper SRT10 ACRs!
Toyota FJ40
Austin Mini

And finally....

FOUR GT-Rs!!!! (I went a bit crazy at the flea market when finding them )
And a MB Jaguar XK

Still no R34 GT-R... Or Veyron (I know, sounds childish) Didn't think the flea market would have what I wanted that much. Only R35s I have left to get are the Speed Machines...

Sweet finds and congrats on finding a CBAR35, and not just one, four of them in one go :tup:. I have the white GTR and I'm keeping a eye out for more of them and espically the R34 GTR.

Well, I would have posted this yesterday, but I was celebrating my older niece's graduation from high school yesterday. So after the ceremony, we went to the malls to browse around. The first mall didn't even have a toy store to look in, they always had a toy store there, but it's not there this time .

Went to another mall since she couldn't find anything over at the other place. I went to Toys 'R Us outlet store and good timing to as they were refilling the shelves with more HWs and MB. I asked a attractive girl who worked there about new HW and she showed me a fresh box of HW cars and I got quite a few good cars from the store . Almost got busted by my parents since I stuffed the cars in between some shoe boxes .

We went to BigLots to get some water since my family is heading out to Cali this week so we needed some water to stock up on. I FINALLY found my eluding Genesis of 2011! Got two and the last of them in that store and went to Target, and the pegs were cleared, only Impalas and GTO and some other muscle cars were remaining. So no buys there.

Here's what I brought.

Toys 'R Us:

Dodge Cornet SuperBee (In Plum Crazy)

Dodge Challenger RT ( In Teal)

Honda S2000

Renualt Megane Trophy

Dodge Dart RT

Aston Martin One-77

Big Lots:

Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Since I'm heading to San Diego for the weekend after doing some errands today, I will see if I can try to visit some stores out here in Vegas before I head out. If no purschases there, definitley in Cali. Since I'm planning to buy 50-70 cars if I can find the ones I'm looking for. I gonna take a backpack with me when I hit the stores out there to store them. I'll post when I get back next week or if I can get Internet access from the hotel.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Jelly of you finding the Hyundai Genesis! I gave in and bought the Team Hot Wheels High Speed Wheel model. Ugly paint job and wheels, but quite like it still... Which reminds me, I don't even know if we have a Big Lots here...

Also...grrr! Really want to find the MB VW Karmann Ghia. Hoping it may pop up at the flea market someday...

I hoenstly don't know what the fuss is over the Genesis, lol there were tons of em at my 99 cent store at one point (same with kenmeris. I stocked up)

I do wish the casting was a bit better, in all honsty the Genesis casting looks a lot like the G37s one. I'm gonna get some hate, but if it was of the RMR Drift Genesis it'd be a lot more unique than it is

 

[Cano]

Guess what? I just spent money I don't have.

I really need to stop.

The American way...... oops, you are on the wrong side, but it's close enough!

Wait, wait, wait. Do all of your GTX's down there have 5-spokes?

That's precisely what I was thinking. I wish I could find that car with 5 Spokes.

Goat, I think this car might be a good trade bait to these two. And congrats on the A-Team Van. I like the MB GMC pickup, too. We share similar taste on hot wheels cars. If we were only so agreeable on NBA teams.

Hey, I'm in America too. You know, coooontinent. You're called United States for a reason.

Yeah bugs me too when people mix that up.

I'm sure other people see it the same way when others are all over certain cars. Where I am, I haven't seen a single 2011 New Models Hyundai Genesis on the pegs.

 

[Spacegoat]

Wait, wait, wait. Do all of your GTX's down there have 5-spokes?

I honestly don't know. Yesterday was the first time I've seen it on the pegs. (actually I think that was the only one) I didn't notice what wheels were on it, until you pointed it out.

Goat, I think this car might be a good trade bait to these two.

Maybe, but now R16 and Cano are lusting after it, that must make it quite hard to find and something special, so I think, I'll hang to it.

And congrats on the A-Team Van. I like the MB GMC pickup, too. We share similar taste on hot wheels cars. If we were only so agreeable on NBA teams.

Thanks and maybe one day you'll see the light.

I'm sorry guys, but I think it's been past that point for awhile now. America & Americans. Might not be right, but that's just the way it has been for many decades!

Just surprised me. Haven't seen one yet.

Edit: If you don't mind I'm going to post that photo in the variations forum on HWC and do some fishing for info.

Just keep a good eye out for one in the stores. Check mall toy stores also. I was lucky to find them in Big Lots that day and they were the same ones I didn't get from last time I went there.

 

[Jetboy.]

Holy. Fricken. Crap. I have missed a lot..

 

[photonrider]

Hi JetBoy - welcome back - yah, you better read up, man - there's a ton of good stuff in here lately; everybody is going crazy. Not sure whose fault it is. I want to blame a6m5 - but I think Medigo is fighting for that honour.

 

[Grayfox]

Today I got 2 Camaro IROC-Z, 2 Aston Martin DBS and a Honda S2000.

All in red which was the only color that was on the shelves at the time.

Just need to find another red S2000 as I like to have 2 of each, one to sell and one to keep.

 

[photonrider]

I picked up three different MB Collectibles 50th anniversary Calendar Girls Coca-Cola delivery trucks at various times for $2.99 each (clearance price) from a liquidation store; just found out that traders have them listed at +$30.00 each. Might as well leave this in my Will.
A little voice says "open 'em!"

 

[Cano]

I just frikin' hit the nail at the usual Flea Market: 30+ cars for about 25 bucks or so. But they aren't normal ccars at all, There are several early 90s Macau-made Matchbox which are infuriatingly hard to find here and thus expensive as hell, several early 90s Hot Wheels, several rare, at least here, Planet Micro Hot Wheels, and even a HW Big Foot. All of them mint to near mint. I could not believe my luck.

Will post pics later, or tomorrow.

 

[photonrider]

I have some of the Macau - made MB's. They are among my prize collectibles - including several Model A Fords!
Glad you got some, Generale! 👍
