If it's still there next Friday when I get paid, I may buy it then try to sell the Dodge truck on eBay to make up for the cost.

Sounds like a plan. 👍 You can get your hands on that Falcon XB while you are at it.

Ferrari 308 GTS in this set is just amazing, along with the VWs.

Oh screw you, big time.

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.

I would have been interested in the Street Rodder but I'll pass on the Nomad, bud. Thanks for the thought (:

Is it really that hard to pick them up if you drop one?

People feel it's embarrassing to pick up after themselves. It's freakin' true.

Anyway, I don't know if you guys want to call it an error, but I'll consider it so:

Is this the black base variation, or is it supposed to be all black?

The bottom thumbnail illustrates a crummy cast.


Other purchases:

Took a while to get that exact angle.. still isn't exactly the way I dreamed. I'm waiting on those damn macro tubes.

I left out about 3 recolours I found today. currently I've turned down 6 of 7 recolours I've encountered.

 

[Cano]

That R34 screams for a Matchless Crowd Racing custom.

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.

And a very RARE 996 as well the 996 GT3 RS isn't that well known Porsche 911 Renn Sport when compared to the 997 GT3RS and the up coming 991 GT3RS.

This GT3 is like the R33 GTR or a Tommy Kira R34 of the 911 996 family.

Nice one though. And I like that 918 as well.

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.

@ Vspec. I was referring to the MB Supra.

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

With the Speed Machines wheels, it brings out the car's stance with bigger and fatter wheels, making it look like a true GT3RS.

Oh ok. Yep, I had two of MB MKIVs and I loved them to pieces along with my Vipers. So many drag races and track racing with those two. That's why I want to find another soon, especially to build my Toyota collection.

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.

You and me both. I have some whacked sleeping habits as well. I couldn't sleep last night and when I knocked out it was around 8 in the morning! Thank RB26 and LS7 that it was the weekend!

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:

Again?! These people are a nuisance to auto collectors. It's like Grand Theft Auto, but with 1:64s.

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

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.

Honesty and being truthful always take you somewhere. If I heard that my favorite place could be shutting down. I'll see what I can do to help them avoid that situation. Respect! 👍

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?

Tell me about it. It's kinda annoying when you see stuff like this. I always put them back on the pegs after I'm finished looking, unless I'm in a rush. Even then, I take a handful of them and put back.

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.

Jackpot with the cars A6, nice! And cool story with Sony's one as well. 👍

@AOS: Nice shots bro. Especially the R34 and the Challenger. The angle shots give them that magazine photo look, what about trying a city background for angle shots? Give it some spice.

 

[a6m5]

Oh screw you, big time.

*insert Harry's crying baby pic here*

$39.99 for 30 comes to $1.33 per car.

Jackpot with the cars A6, nice! And cool story with Sony's one as well. 👍

Yeah! Guys here told me about that store & the very same set like weeks ago, so I was very pleasantly pleased to see it in my store today. 👍

 

[RCKakashi14]

Tomica Limited and Ebbro 1:43:

 

[AOS-]

@VSpec, Haaaaillll no!

I'm planning to throw in a single prop that will replace the sorry attempt at a magazine cover that is the unrefined text. We just won't be seeing it until January because it needs to be laser cut.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Is this the black base variation, or is it supposed to be all black?

Negative sir, that's the normal release.

This is the all black base:

 

[McZachenF1138]

Jason, I'm looking at your Triumph and I really don't want to give it away.
As you know, it's blue. But you need to see it in person, it's a beautiful deep blue and the OH5s really pull it together.
I mean, I'm still going to send it to you because you need it more than I do, but I'm not going to be too happy about it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Keep it. I may be getting rid of the rest of them shortly.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Na man, it's cool. It's not a big deal.
Why are you wanting to get rid of your TR6s?





EDIT!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Seen those at the HW meet on Friday night. Everyone wanted $7.50 each or more for them. I'm going to wait until the price comes down or I can find them at the store. And I definitely won't be buying them from that eBay store for twice the retail price.

 

[a6m5]

I've seen the KITT & Batmobile for $4.99, but didn't want them. Ghostbuster's, however. I'd buy two.

Where can I find them? I just saw it online for the first time couple of days ago.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Showing up at Pep Boys stores (yeah, really) right now. Supposed to showing up all over the pace shortly. (Walmart, etc)

 

[a6m5]

Really? Hopefully, I'll catch them at Walmart, but you know how that goes.

Thanks for the info! 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ran to the local self-service car wash to get some quarters and stopped at the local Big Lots on the way. Only thing I found was a tampo error:

 

[Theace37]

If u guys remember the Classic matchboxes I posted a wjile back.

Theyre going on sale!!

 

[a6m5]

Ace lives. 👍

Jason: That Torino's nice & clean!

P.S. I am working on the list of cars I have for sale & trade. Will be completed soon!

 

[Snaeper]

Damnit! And I finally get all the standard versions.. and now these. Oh well, at least I'll have a chance to buy them retail.

 

[a6m5]

It is available for trade.

OK, I put together the updated list. I labeled the cars with values indicative of the dollar, but again, they are not the prices. I put them there as a value indicator only. Cars that are taken are crossed out.





Let me know if you see any car(s) in there you might be interested in for a trade. I'm interested in anything you might have available for sale or trade as well.

P.S. I still have that Garage Cougar XR-7 crossed out for you, assuming we still want that trade(details are little fuzzy in my head lol).

 

[AOS-]

Taking that F40 Boulevard, period.

Negative sir, that's the normal release.

This is the all black base:

Oh. Be right back





Oh also... who has the '80s Corvette? I got one today, and I couldn't help but notice the rear lamps are nothing more than empty sockets. Is that normal?

 

[McZachenF1138]

Why do you want those hideous things?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Don't see anything I can't live without. I do need a Garage Falcon XB though.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Speaking of the F40... I found this at the flea market, but didn't buy it because I spent my cash on a 1:18 Acura NSX.

 

[a6m5]

I looked at that one, too, but I opted for a gold one.

Don't see anything I can't live without. I do need a Garage Falcon XB though.

Try to get that set at T.M. first. If that falls through, we'll talk. I won't sell or trade it to anybody else(sorry Jarrod lol). I'm still debating if I should part that 30 car set I bought or not. Kid in me says yes, grownup in me says "maybe", so we'll see how that goes.

Taking that F40 Boulevard, period.

If you only had domestic mailing address like Cano does. Customs-wise, it's just that little green form/label thing, right? How about customs? Is there tax/fee involved?

 

[AOS-]

I found that F40 with no rear lid at a thrift store. It's the one I'm making a custom out of


Oh, a6, this isn't the first time Jason has sent something to me... And customs only applies for me once I exceed $100 of whatever.

 

[commodoreben]

Just got these two yesterday.
