Flea Market Finds

All of the carded were 6/$5 except the Hauler and the Drag bus. They were $2.

I know very little about matchbox, but enough to know that when 27 year old carded Superfast are 85 cents a pop...you take them. And if they have them, you take the doubles as well!

I'm thinking 85 bad works per second now. What a price on those! :0 some of them I had never even seen!
 
Those cars bring back a lot of memories, diabolicalwyvern. Antonisbob - yeah, very 'Cannonball' - including the 'X' on the sign - remember? Wonder who is in the car? ;)

Talking about wheels . . . I feel like a yo-yo.

Of course, I pulled them all from the blister.
 
Are they CORGIs?

You need to mod those bikes - like this:

And since you're talking blisters.. . .

I had to finish that big opening:

016_zps3d69772a.jpg


017_zps528374c8.jpg


As you can see, I finally got to the last card - the Super Snake I had promised myself if I got through all the packages.

018_zps51334e74.jpg


But opening all those muscles cars made me want to take some off my displays that had been calling for action for too long - some as many as a couple of years. So I harvested a few more favorites off the wall, and thought I might as well fill up my garages a bit:

More opened:

036_zps37178b55.jpg


And almost down to the last bit now:

038_zps506f004c.jpg


Finally everything opened except for the Super Snake, and the two Speed Machines.

041_zps17bb2d62.jpg


And here's the Snake. Been wanting to unblister this for ages - finally got around to it:

057_zpsc0d6b436.jpg


And a few close-ups:

069_zpscd708293.jpg


I decided against opening the Speed Machines; they were going back into Display Mode.

So this was my final haul - and a huge boost to my garage.
But . . . there is about two large clumps that have to be also opened soon.
More work. :)

I lost that F40 LM the other day. Frikin' outbidders ):
 
Woah!!! Nice Kyoshos RCK :eek:. After. Seeing those cars and that amazing quality, you got me jelly all over now!

Hand some of them over! :sly:
 
^Wasn't talking to you.

I saw a few of those Kyoshos listed for $5. I might grab some, maybe next year. I'm not ready to dish out $5 so easily on a new series.
 
Also lol new series.

You're really dumb. Did you ever see me post any pictures of my Kyoshos? No? Exactly, I don't have any. Kyoshos would be new in my collection.
 
Thought I'd stop by the flea market this morning and Walmart as well. Turns out only one vendor updated their stock, but there were a couple finds I probably missed.
IMG_0538_zps4a1e44a8.jpg

Majorette Toyota Lite Ace
Jada Mazda RX-8
Maisto Porsche Speedster (Had one as a kid, gosh why doesn't Maisto do things like these wheels again)
Delorean
Shelby GT500
MB Ford F-150 SVT Raptor (From Walmart)
Mini
 
I wheel swapped one of those Maisto Porsches a while ago, couldn't stand it with those tires. Is the Majorette van still France-made?

That's true, the wheels don't belong on the Porsche. But I liked it on the Chevrolet Avalanche that I used to have. And yes, the Majorette van is made in France. Unfortunately seems as though it's had someone etch random things onto it.
 
Ah forget that. It's just a car with a Blue Jays decal on it. :p
 
Anyone going to the K-Mart collectors day on the 3rd?

Here are the exclusive cars:

And if you buy 20 cars, mail in the card backs with the required $$ for shipping, you can get this:

Do you think that Galaxie will sport MC5 wheels?

I'd ask you to grab me one, but I really need to stop for buying for at least a month.
 
I would expect it to be exactly the same as the blue & orange ones that came out this year, except in green. That's the only one I am interested in, except for any other new releases that may be out. I'm thinking we'll see the new AE-86 at the event, and the '55 Chevy Gasser.
