Is that a current mainline Pikes Peak Celica?

Nope. Web code series or something.

Also . . . really horrendous news

That sucks man. Frigging HATE people who steals. I use post office box for this very reason, but as you guys know, I recently lost two packages. Only aware of three lost mail ever though. Of course, the most important one turned up, so I'm extremely pleased about that. Anywho, P.O. Box for me is a peace of mind.

Very limited numbers of new cars today:

Weak, I know. At least two of them are nice though. Buggy's going to my nephew. There were couple more nice Johnny Lightning cars, but I showed restraint. Trust me, does not happen a whole lot with me when it comes to hot wheel cars.

Edit: I forgot to add, but I love Kakashi's "Z". Also, strangely attracted to that green color of Jason's Celica.

Really liking that JL Inter 1200 pickup mate, nice:tup:

Looking at the store photos, I'd say the stores in my area the HW pegs and other stuff would be round a quarter of that size

 

[photonrider]

What do you guys get up to while I'm gone?!

It wasn't my fault, SVX. I was giving them a heads-up about security cameras and before I knew it they were giving me a bath.

The chopper I lost was a Sun Star. Very, very annoying. I know it's a pretty small thing compared to the kind of problems people have, but still . . . very, very annoying. My FiL says it was a Limited Edition model.

Shopping in a Belgium mall because of the poor weahter.

kids happy, dad happy

 

[Doth1s]

I picked these up on my quick trip to Wal-Mart. I figured I'd swing by the toy section while picking up some Advil for the wife:

I wasn't going to get the white DBS today, but the associate put the blue one up on the peg board, so I bought both colors.

That JL International is nice. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Anyone need a Boulevard Skyline?

 

[a6m5]

I have one as well. Been trying to get 510, but it's been very elusive.

Also, thanks for the compliments on the International pick up, guys. 👍 Love the old trucks!

Also . . . really horrendous news. wah wah my moneyyy~!

Were the model kit and money sent together? And you're saying it never showed up? Possibility of lost mail. Also, start getting people to do e-cheques, or get them to go to post office and send money there. I watched someone declare how much he wanted to send to another province and they charged him on his credit card. That's way safer.

Also, don't forget the possibility of lost mail. I lost a parcel from Zach the first time, got it the second.

And today's finds: Spot as many goodies as you can:

Transparent Wheel Camaro, though card is in crap condition.
Super cute BMW Bike.
Another missing side-tampo BMW M3
RED LAND CRUISER! YEEEAH BOY! First Land Cruiser I'm NOT going to tamper with.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Another missing side-tampo BMW M3

Another one huh? Good, send it to me.

 

[jtl46]

Nice finds. I have been looking high and low for a no tampo. Blank on both sides?

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Anyone need a Boulevard Skyline?

I'll take it! Gotta help a fellow Skyline GTR/GT-R fan.

Anyone have the 510 Wagon or the 993 GT2 Porsche Boulevard yet?

 

[RCKakashi14]

I am a big fan of Rotaries, and the FD3S is definitely my favorite. With an engine so small, yet it can produce power that match the sports cars in its day. Plus, the engine's weight allows the car to have a weight distribution of 50:50 that help it to be one of the forces to be reckoned with on the track....

...and even the Touge.

When Hot Wheels released the 24/7, I initially had some disappointments with it since they didn't bother getting a license from Mazda to create a proper FD3S RX-7 (even until now, with only the SA22C RX-7 being licensed). But at the end, I grew to love it. And it resembles an RE Amemiya FD3S to me.

Rotaries are not wimpy! The FD3S is my all-time favorite JDM!

 

[a6m5]

And unlike that Tsunami car, they didn't f'up the front end. Nice presentation!

 

[CodeRedR51]

993 isn't out yet. Still a month or two wait for that one.

Wow, the Hot Wheels looks like a monster compared to the other two small scale cars.

 

[AOS-]

You know what, Lamley? I've actually haven't checked.

and screw you, Jason. You refused to give me your extra MC5 Impreza.

 

[CodeRedR51]

What MC5 Impreza? The new blue one? They're everywhere, neither of the new variations is all that hard to find...

24/7 FTW!!!

I'm with you all the way about the 24/7 situation. At first, I didn't even think about even buying it when I saw them on the peg in the beginning! But somehow, I began to observe the car more whenever I got the chance and then I struck me.....

Hot Wheels did a FD3S RX-7, but as a made up tuner and it looked similar to a FD with a RE Amemiya and a Veilside Fortune put together!

After that I wanted to get a few, but since I was into the model cars, I couldn't get one . But I got the yellow 24/7 from the recent HW Tuners 5 pack and I absolutely love it!

I'm thinking of doing a design for a real bodykit for a FD, from the looks of the car, it looks very aerodynamic, perfect for the track and street (more milder than the racing/drifting spec one.)

993 isn't out yet. Still a month or two wait for that one.

Wow, the Hot Wheels looks like a monster compared to the other two small scale cars.

Well, I'll have to wait then. Thanks for the KPGC10 Hako Skyline 👍.

I know right? The 24/7 is a huge threat against the smaller ones.

BTW, got any 24/7s you want to part with?

 

[CodeRedR51]

BTW, got any 24/7s you want to part with?

Negative, in fact I'm only missing one to complete the collection.

However I do have an extra blue PP Celica with HW Racing livery. Apparently I bought two of them.

 

[Grayfox]

Not really hotwheels but
Found these easteregg things

Got a LP-580-4 and a Crummy C1.

 

[zakyta_4]

Went to K-mart today, picked up a few cars I didn't have yet:tup:

 

[AOS-]

Wow a yellow El Camino? Zakyta, I'm going to be selling a lot of cars I don't want in the near future and I think you should buy it tup:


Also, that M3 error has no tampo on the other side. As for the first one I have, still haven't checked yet.

 

[tronrider345]

I had to post it here.

 

[AOS-]

Imagine it. A Snowflake with the text "COOL WHEELS".

 

[tronrider345]

Throw them in the oven.

 

[a6m5]

I have a question: Retro Entertainment. Bin/display box for them shows the Back to the Future DeLorean. That suggest it'll be on the series 2? Sounds vaguely familiar, too. Maybe it's been brought up before.......

P.S. Just ordered this. Love Tamiya. Love black Supras. Couldn't talk myself out of it. I ordered it on eBay.

 

[CodeRedR51]

BTTF Delorean will be in the Retro series, but in the next batch or two.

 

[Grayfox]

Throw them in the oven.

They would be like apple products, expensive for what they are.

 

[AOS-]

Omigot, guys! The F&F Supra is out!
