Smiley overload

Who? Me?

My only due shipment came in. Bunch of mostly loose cars:


Hot Wheels - Auto Milestones - Auburn Speedster / GREENLIGHT - Custom 1989 Pontiac Firebird - Speed Channel

Speed Machines -McLaren F 1 GTR / Hot Wheels - 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS


Modern Classics '92 Ford Mustang



Couple of Speed Machines I've been after for some time. "Modern Classics" '92 Mustang, I don't recall seeing one before. It was $8.99, but after seeing search results of eBay ones in package going close to $30 range, I decided to add it to the order.

Came from the same seller who sold me that big lot of M2, so he gave me a $2.99 credit for that Chevelle with the missing grille(price of the car). 👍

Edit - Sorry for the dark-ish pictures.

@ AOS - you aware of the HWC Deal of the Day?

Too late for that. I ended up paying some dingbat $25 for one a few weeks ago. I'm so mad. I gotta check up on HWC for RL products in the future.

My only due shipment came in. Bunch of mostly loose cars:

Baller grabs on all of them... except the GT500. I found one on TTP for $3. $8 ain't worth it IMO because '07 GT500s are poop. 2010

Anyway speaking of baller grabs, here's a baller photo:

Micro Champs Mercedes C291. 👍

 

[a6m5]

What a beaut......

By the way, $8.99 was for the fox-body Mustang(loose, above the Speed Machines). GT500, which was the only sealed car of the bunch, it was just $2.99.

 

[AOS-]

Oh my bad. Misread that. good for you for snagging the GT500 for $3, because it is bottom tier of the Speed Machines along with the Panoz GTR-1.

599XX, FXX and some other retardedly rare casting on the other hand are S-Tier Speed Machines. Even the gray McLaren F1 GTR I'd say is B, whereas the red and the dark blue is more likely A-tier.

Lime NSX and 911 GT1-98 I'd say are B, maybe B+, Citroens are B-, Gallardos are C, Reventon is B, Elise is C, Lancer is C-, and V8 Vantage is likely B at most.

What else did I miss? There's probably like another 9 Speed Machines I never even hear of.

 

[a6m5]

Bah.... For me, those two are couple of my absolute favorites from the series.

 

[RCKakashi14]

My grab for today:

Kyosho 1:64 Ferrari DINO 246 GT:

And I saw a Lotus Europa Special of the same brand, but it's painted in red and it's a regular release.

Not the Circuit Wolf one...

 

[DwightSchrute12]

My haul for the past two days, minus the MB 60ths I got. Camera battery died, so some of these taken with my phone.

Closest Wal-mart to me had like 4 aisles of toys on clearance with an extra half off the sticker price. So I got this for 5 bucks (yes, I already opened it )

And these older Auto Worlds for a buck each.

Regular stuff:

Found two fresh Retro cases stocked, finally found me one of these:

One Wal-Mart had about 6 Cool Classics stocked. Only place in town I saw them. But they only had two kinds, both of which I grabbed.

Lastly, I picked up a few Monster Jam trucks. First ones I've bought before. Pretty cool.

 

[AOS-]

The Cool Classics if any of you haven't seen one in the flesh, they've got this Spectrafrost finish which looks similar to satin metallics, but without the metalflake glittery shimmer. I personally love it because it gives off a lot of shine eithout going to super-reflective finishes that don't look fitting for cars like spectraflame finishes.

The two I grabbed today are the first time I've seen them in person. They look great, and I hear they look even better out of the blisters, so I'll be cracking them open.

Honestly, everything does, but regardless, allow me:

Ha, well yeah, but especially this new paint. Hoping I can get the Comet Cyclone too, love that casting and that blue.

 

[AOS-]

Here's me wishing they'll make a '63 T-Bird or '59 Impala.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I would buy them if they weren't $3.50 each.

 

[AOS-]

I would buy them if they weren't $3.50 each.

Speed Machine prices. I treat them like the successors of the Boulevards so I can justify spending $3.90 on one. On the other hand, Pop Cultures going for $5 ain't worth it for me.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Knowing me I'll probably give in to a few of them.

 

[AOS-]

But they're not Japanese cars!

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Man, I gotta get a McLaren F1 GTR sooooo bad for my collection! And that MB C291 Group C.......

Hey Jason, you going to the meets tomorrow? If you do, keep a eye out for any Zamac and black R34s and a McLaren F1 for me. Thanks. 👍

And AOS, I'll use bubble wrap for the Exige, which I was going to do anyway, I was going to use a sandwich bag to wrap it and add bubble wrap for added protection.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Either are my DeLoreans, all the Garage/Boulevard cars, custom Galaxie's, Falcon XB's, Holden Utes, etc, etc...

Edit: meet, yes. Can't buy anything for anyone at the moment though with the 1:1 car around the corner.

 

[Spacegoat]

Micro Champs Mercedes C291. 👍

Beautiful. 👍 Same goes for the Kyosho Dino, Kakashi posted.

 

[commodoreben]

I just received a package from Hong Kong today. Pics to come tomorrow. I also have some very special Kyosho cars coming.

 

[Cano]

Very nice grabs all of you people, altough I can't see Andy's Microchamps car and that's the one that pickz my curiosity the most

 

[CodeRedR51]

AOS - you have the Hot Wheels Classics Cobra #20 of 30? Dark red.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Anyone else think these new Flying Customs are not selling well? I have literally seen the same ones on the pegs for months at my Wal Mart.

[Sonygamer455]

None of them are loading for me, just a bunch of codes.

EDIT: Works now. 👍

They are losers, I think. Some exceptions here & there, but I think I have maybe five different Flying Customs, hate the rest.

Nice Auto World Camaro & Kyosho Dino, you two. 👍

Best of luck on your car hunt Jason! 👍

 

[Spacegoat]

That happened to me with Flickr a couple of days ago, Ben. When you click on "More ways to Share" on a pic make sure "BBCode" is selected. 👍

Edit: Dat AA Veyron. 👍

I haven't bought any yet. When I say I have seen the same for month's, I mean they haven't stocked up at all and some of the same ones have been sitting there since there release.

Same for the Boulevards, I think they have been sitting there since 2012, literally!
