This Toys R Us isn't from around here. :irked:

My hot wheels wish list of stuff I'll probably never buy, but ran into on eBay, thanks to Medigo-influence:

It's not in the current line up. But that specific year is the only one to come with the 5 spoke wheels. The rest come with the usual MB wheels and the offroad wheels.

Those are nice rims. If I ever saw any Rover or Ranger Rover Sport, I'd buy it.
 
They are my personal favorite rims on matchbox cars as well. :D Kind of getting sick of the usual wheels that are more commonly found on matchbox cars though.

And sorry for the eBaying. :P

By the way, is that green Bullit Mustang a current model I might be able to find here? Last time, I was able to get the Greenlight Trans Am at the Toys R Us, thanks to your tip. 👍

Just checked the Greenlight website. The Mustang is apart of the newest Greenlight Hollywood series 3 so you should be able to find it at a store that sells Greenlights over there. Here is a link to there site

I brought it from a collectables store they had a few more of each Bullitt car. They also had the Fast & The Furious Charger aswell as a few M2 cars.

Nice find! Thank you. 👍 I think I might have to buy the Fast & the Furious Charger as well, if I like what I see. I guess I'll be swinging by Toys R Us on the way home tomorrow(six day week! :yuck: ).
 
Holy crap, I have a Hot Wheels car with Tire screech :eek:


Will be heading to bed, fumbling in awesomeness.

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. :P

XD true, guess i shoulda thought about that, especially since i'm trying to find Mad Manga and i can't seem to find it

On the other hand, i just picked up my first GRB Impreza! It's such an amazing casting!

EDIT: Oh wow... the tomica limited SA22 has pop up lights... how can they put so much detain in that car!? it's still like 1/64 or so, right?

Of to KB toys, scalpers Never hit that place up so im bound to find good stuf!

I thought KB Toys died out a couple of years ago. I loved that store.

Did a trade on HWC.com for a $uper S2000 a couple of days ago. Looks awesome in person.

I tried to set up a trade for one of those with zero success. :(

Got my loose protecto-paks last night. 👍

I like these because I can still enjoy them out of the blister, but I can also keep them dust free.

Sweet S2000! And the KB Toys, that was the first American toy store I visited, so I do have fond memories of the place, and was sad to see the state they ended up in, then completely out of business. There might be stores with KB name, but the actual KB chain I believe went bankrupt more than once, with more than one owner, until they were done completely.

I hoped to find either Dan Wheldon or Greenlight Bullit car at my local Toys R Us on the way home today from work, but expectedly, no luck. I did find the Tomica Nissan Juke I regretted for not getting last time around though.

Bad news is, I didn't realized that it's been taped shut, not until I got home. Bummer, but I'm over it. :crazy:

P.S. I've posted on here how Toys R Us has been clearing out the Tomica Hypercity stuff at unbelievable prices. They were at it again, but they still carry them! I don't really understand it. Maybe it's some political move for them to carry Tomica, even if they are not selling? :odd: I almost bought a train station($5) & police station(w/JPN RX8 cop car, $10) for my nephew, but I've been way overspoiling that kid with toys, so I had to put brakes on that for now!

Where do you get those, and how much? I've been resorting to use fishing tackle case(Plano kind), or throwing them in a larger tin can. These individual cases might work out better, if they are cost effective.

KMart is always overstocked with cars. They get a bunch for the collectors days, and then the leftovers sit around forever.

@a6m5, it does seem that Tomica's packaging is very poorly put together... I dropped one by accident and it popped open far too easily. Might have happened to your Juke. :scared:
Click to expand...
Ah, that would make sense. I was afraid that it was a opened, then returned merchandise or something, but crap packaging makes more sense.

Edit: Nice Falcons, Ben. 👍 I'm sure Spacegoat will let you know how nice they really are. :lol:
