JL International Scout
MB Porsche 911 GT3 (Wheel error? They should be orange, shouldn't they?)
MB Ford GT
JL VW Sambabus
Funny enough, when I saw some people talking about it in the thread recently. I did feel regrets for not getting the black RX-7 when it was released earlier and funny enough it was right on the pegs!

Cool, now hand over those JL's.

Yellow Camaro is a Kroger exclusive.

Time to find a Kroger!
 
Man you guys and your Marts-K's and Kroger (<Never even heard of that one before) ..and Johnny Lightning's, We've got none of those around here! :(

Negative.

Also, a serious question for those buying huge lots on eBay:

What is your goal with making these purchases? Just to have as many cars as possible? It just seems people are buying cars just to buy cars.

I know I only collect cars I like, so I bypass quite a few on a daily basis.
Click to expand...

I usually buy the big lots because I see a few cars that I remember having from when I was younger or cars that I like. The last big lot I got I saw the yellow Sierra on the top the Twin Mill was under it and what I correctly thought was the base on the Firebird. The rest of the cars are a gamble and one day when I can get my whole collection out I might sell a few of the doubles on ebay.
 
Forgot the mention the 4-sided shipper that those yellow ZL-1's come in, also has an entry form attached so you can enter to win a yellow Camaro SS. 👍
 
Nice chrome wheel Porsche variation, Medigo!

Btw, Mr. commodoreben I may need your international assistance. :D I'll PM you later today or tomorrow with more information.
 
So my stops on the way to San Diego tomorrow morning include:

- x4 Wal-Marts
- x1 Love's Truck Stop

These are all right next to the highway where I can get off, check real quick, and get back on with minimal side streets. Since it will be early, hopefully I can find some good stuff.

Edit: Here's that guy that I think TheeFrog posts up from time to time with a new "N" case. He takes a detailed look at "The Bat" in the first part of the video. The 2013 Viper is in this case too.

IDK if that's juice, but i do know in the states, hot wheels does fruit snacks. LOL they're like gummy bears shaped like cars.

Sorry for missing the trade frogman... ugh wallet fell outa my pocket yesterday and i'm trying to get it back. A customer said she found it and called the store, but i don't quite know what's happening... in the process of canceling my credit cards

@R1600 good luck with making those stops quick. Not too sure about san diego, but around LA, walmarts have ridiculous lines even during seemingly random times...ugh i hate going to walmart on tuesdays at 1PM... lol just going period...it's always crowded

I forgot to post that. :ouch: Definitely looking forward to this case, plenty of recolors I'd be happy to buy and the Viper. :D

Went out to Target on the way to work thinking that they might at least have more varied Pixar Cars, but...still just Finn McMissle and Lightning McQueen. :yuck: I guess it was Toys R Us where I saw the various Pixar Cars... Want the F430 and Quattroporte. :grumpy:

In the end, I bought this. The last 10-pack on the shelf since Mattel is going to only do 9-packs now. I'd say about half of the cars were of interest.
IMG_0135.jpg

Cars of interest that made it worth buying...
Panamera
Karmann Ghia
two Mustangs
and...sort of the ZR1...
Not sure what to do with the rest of the vehicles.

(R1600, you can scratch the Panamera and Karmann Ghia off the list)

Also, apologies for the late response. Meant to reply, but forgot. Thanks for the info on the Porsche 911 930. I looked it up on eBay and there's one for just about $100! :eek:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/EUROPE-ONLY...19678?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item3a75ec3d7e

Of course, not sure if that's what they're selling for...since that one hasn't been sold. But...maybe. Will definitely be taking care of it. 👍

I'm sure you have no use for that dump truck, so you could send it to me for free! :D
 
I was staring at that juice for ages wondering "What could it be?" As I read the "Sok" part on it... Thinking to myself.. "Multivitamin socks".

It is cool though, does it come in a gasoline flavor? :lol:

As fas as THs are concerned - we NEVER see them on the pegs here.:grumpy:

There's something going on. Conspiracy concerning retail sales associates, if not Dept. Mgrs. Or Fairy Dust.:dopey:

Been a silent spectator for some time now but I found a twin pack that I need info on.

Is the closed scoop version Sinistra worth anything or not ? Should I rip it open? I think its dated 2002 .

cheers

I ended up not stopping at any stores on the way to San Diego, didn't give myself enough time. Will make those stops on the way home.
 
During lunch today, out of no where my mom suddenly mentions my collecting hobby. She said "You can stop leaving your cars in boxes, I'll give you the basement bathroom shelf to use as a display. Just clean it before you use it." Gosh, never thought my parents would actually be supporting this. :odd: The shelf turned out to be a three part shelf made of metal (rusting and covered in grease and dust :yuck:) and glass. Unfortunately, there was no room upstairs at all (except the living room, but I know my mom would rather display her plants than my cars). Ended up putting it in the basement bedroom where I currently sleep during summer for a cool night. Here's some rather bad pictures of it. My father was taking a nap in the bedroom so I decided to just turn on one small light. Apologies for the lighting. :scared:

I tried to organize them by European, Japanese, and American cars. However, there wasn't enough room for some of them so I had to stick them with the others. Not as much room as I thought I could get out of it. :ouch:

Sweet, seems a bit crammed, But overall its a good start. But my question is, Why did you think your parents would get mad at you?
