Hot Wheels? Or RMZ?

Hmmmm...... But the RMZ is the better one out of the two. Very impressive detail when compared to the HW version of the LP-670 SV.

So, bringing this back up as I need to get rid of them. Anyone that wants the whole lot of loose cars I have (ones I don't need) I will be putting them on eBay this weekend unless someone here wants them. I can get a few pics of the lot, not taking individual photos.

Price is .40 cents on the dollar for you. I figure there's around 200 cars. eBay price will be a bit higher. This does not include shipping and you must purchase all cars, no picking and choosing.

Love to see some pics whenever you get the chance. But do you have any yellow S2Ks in your group that you are selling?

Before I take a nap this afternoon:

Matchbox Superfast Dodge Viper GTS-R Concept:

Greenlight VW Beetle RSi

Kyosho McLaren F1 GTR:

Nice cars, the F1 shines out of the group the most.

This is a pretty decent casting. This is a CORGI Porsche 911 GT3 RS (996) and it has become one of my personal favorites in my entire 1/64 collection. Just gotta add it to the list, since I'm a Porsche fan.

Every time I see RCKakashi14 as the latest post I always think "Here we go. What's it going to be this time?"
You never disappoint. 👍

Oh, and congrats on the news page picture.

I'm happy to see one of my photos there.

And also, I do have lots of story writing to do, and I am currently writing one, and it's also posted here in GTPlanet.

 

[McZachenF1138]

A story you say? You gotta link me that man!

I'm going to school to be a computer aided mechanical draftsman but I want to somehow test and review cars as a part time thing someday. I read all the major auto publications and I'd really like to write for one. I just don't want it to be my living because I don't like writing that much.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Dude, do you ever sleep?

Sweet Corgi Porsche RCKakashi. 👍

I have a similar Corgi one but with the rollcage inside, i opened it up for a quick wheel swap, i love the fact that the rear louvre/boot lid and wing is held in by 2 screws, and can be replaced with the rear deck of the lesser models.

(excuse shoddy pic)



@ Vspec. I was referring to the MB Supra.

Man, i love that HW Bumper-car posted a few pages back.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Dude, do you ever sleep?

Not having to wake up until 2pm for classes really gets you into a bad habit of not sleeping.
Plus, I'm not very good at sleeping to begin with.
Now on Christmas break, so it will either make my sleeping schedule better or worse.

Another Porsche. I just bought it today:

With its 1:43 counterpart:

 

[MedigoFlame]

Stopping by the flea market again, hopefully the vendor has finally pulled his boxes out of the shipping container! Will do my best to not spend money on the larger scale models. I remember asking him last week if he had Tomicas, of which he said he did, but might not sell them...or sell them for $11 each...

Someone has to stay awake, Jason - or we'll all get caught napping.

And - guess what? Someone was caught napping - Kilroy struck again. Believe me - I stood there for a whole minute with my jaw on the floor:

 

[Cano]

Well at least the guy bothered to put the Drag Merc in a Drag Merc blister

 

[Nessy]

The phantom switcheroo guy strikes again.
There can't be too many people returning HW's, surely they can single out the culprit.

 

[a6m5]

Just wow. That is ridiculous.

What I got today:

 

[Sonygamer455]

People like that make me sick.

By the way A6M5, nice cars.👍 I like the civic, that Bat and that Combat Medic.

I seen an error of that Medic before with black rear wheels.

 

[a6m5]

I didn't know what Combat Medic was.

Have wanted that one for awhile, but this time, it was on sale, so.....

 

[CodeRedR51]

I heard Hot Ones cars are also showing up at Tuesday Morning stores, if anyone has one around them.

 

[GTPorsche]

Just got back from Target. The HWs looked like they had been picked through and there weren't many left.

Ended up only getting the AE86.

 

[Sonygamer455]

I ment to get that one when it came out but didn't and now that thing is long gone now.

Sony: I don't know what's going on, but I'm glad you gotta freebie, and it was the rarer set. 👍

Yep it was indeed! Im sure your still wondering how i got this "free".

Well let me start off with this, me and my brother have been buying Hot Wheels from my local toy store Kit Kringle for 5 years now, it will be 6 in Febuary. Over the years me and him have come to know the people that work there pretty well and they are pretty familar with us now since we go there alot.

What happened was, last time i went in Kit Kringle when i bought that Chrome Burnerz Cockney Cab II, that Lexus, Corgi Ferrari 308 GTS, and that Benz, i handed the woman at the cash register $5 to pay for the Hot Wheels. Some how she mistaked it for a $20 and she handed me back $15.76 and when i looked in my bag and i saw that, i knew something wasn't right. I thought it was pretty awesome at first but then i kept thinking about how she told me about how there business was in a recession and i couldn't stand the thought of them shutting down.

So my mom explained the situation to them asking if there cash register rang up short and they did not know. So i was given the choice to ether keep the money or hand it back, since i am an honest person and i cared about the place alot, i handed it back. The woman that ran the place apreciated my honesty so much, she let me choose anything Hot Wheels for free since i was honest with them, so i chose that 5 pack! That my story on how i got it for free. Honesty can really go a long way sometimes.

 

[a6m5]

Honesty can really go a long way sometimes.

Nice. $15, you could have bought beers, but still nice. j/k

You did the right thing man. We need more like you. 👍

 

[Sonygamer455]

I don't drink.

Thank you a6m5! I completely agree with you there!👍 Most people would stay silent about things like this and keep it for thereselves, but i didn't. I chose to be honest and responsible, so i handed it back and i got a rare 5 pack in return. Like i said honesty can really go a long way. Words to live by kids.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Found these at Tuesday Morning. The Street Rod with the redline tires is a chase car. I thought Cano might want the Nomad, but if not then I'll put them both on eBay.

 

[a6m5]

Red lines Hot Ones are so awesome. Never even seen one in person though. That Zombot or whatever I have, I so wish to have red lines version of that.

You are on a roll, Jason!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Forgot to mention, went back to my lucky Target this afternoon and about half the Hotwheels which *should* have been on the pegs were dumped all over the shelf below. Is it really that hard to pick them up if you drop one?

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, people like those makes the rest of us look bad, but we routinely observe this.

 

[CodeRedR51]

The street rodder chase car is no longer available. Trading it for a Hot Ones BRAT.

So if Cano or someone wants the Nova Nomad, I can throw it in your box or I'll just put it on the Bay.

Which Nova is this? Speaking of Nova, this set doesn't have it.

I love you right now, because I decided to swing by that Tuesday Morning place upon your advice, and I was able to nab this set for $39.99. It was even the last one! Many cars in here, I thought about purchasing on eBay individually(I did get that red Falcon for nice price), so very happy about the price.

Little story: I heard this elderly lady fall down in the parking lot, right before walking into the store? As I & this girl from another car walked over to help & picking her stuff back up for her, for split second, I thought about pulling a Cano on her purse? Then I remembered about SonyGamer's story, and I just helped her, and did not snatch her purse. Maybe it was the karma, eh?

Also got this at another store:

Awesome chase car. *vomits* I did sell the last green Firebird for ten bucks. I think Jason's luck's rubbing off on me. Not Super Treasure Hunt or anything, but I'll take them.

P.S. On Nova, I forgot I do have a complete set of Ford versus Chevy stashed, which includes that Nova. Sucks to be old!

Edit: Oh, crap. I have that black Dino off of eBay, too.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Oops. Nomad, not Nova.

My TM store has one too. Been there for quite some time. Same price, also the last one. I'm waiting for it to drop more.

Oh and just so you know, some of those off road trucks at the top go for $40+ on eBay.

$39.99's a great deal! I wouldn't risk it going bye-bye.

Another story. I should clean the box of the set I got, because the cashier lady drooled all over this thing. She said she got into collecting them, because of the older brother when they were kids.

She knew exactly what I set down at the counter, and I was convinced that she wanted it. I'm glad she was friendly, and didn't try to pull funny business, because I'd have punched her.

Oh and just so you know, some of those off road trucks at the top go for $40+ on eBay.

Let me guess, the Dodge. That's the one I'd have bought on eBay individually. Thanks for the tip. 👍
