Almost bought a new 9 pack tonight with the new Ford Falcon Race Car in red, but did a quick search on eBay and found one for $6.50 shipped so I went that route instead. Almost the same price, but at least I don't have to get rid of the extras I don't want. Speaking of Falcon Race Cars, *cough* @Cano ? :p
 
Just found a post on Hot wheels H case. Looks like I got some serious hunting to do when this one finally shows up. New color Porsche, New mopar, New cougar, New bmw m3, 83 Chevy truck. A few more. Good stuff!
 
So you can take all the supers, right? ;)

I think I'll grab the Cougar and the Transit Connect out of that mix.
If it shows up I'll get it. That'll be my third super. I didn't get/find the super from the G case.
 
I only have one so far, the AE 86. This one I wouldn't mind. It's cool, but not my favorite. I like the type of car it represents. There's just a bunch in this case I want. And so far iv been pretty lucky at finding The stuff I want. I don't check all the time or first thing in the mornings or anything. So for what I've got I'm happy
 
At least I don't scalp other store except the occasional Walgreens store when they get new stock.
 
Just so you know, and no offence to you, but employees that take good cars (especially when they are on the clock) is one of the things I despise the most about collecting these cars.
I sign out after I stock the cars.
 
It's besides the point. You could always stash them when you're working.

You can't tell me a worker doesn't have more chance of dibs than a random customer.


Anyways here's my latest eBay order.

The front on this Jaguar is absolutely pathetic and it really drags the whole casting/car down. Those headlights are even worse than something I can do with a Sharpie. From side-on the Jag looks nice but holy crap is it bad from the front. :crazy:
 
That tesla.. there goes my no matchbox cars rule. I must have that.
I remember finding a video awhile back on the you tubes of that tesla racing an Srt viper and a Bmw M5 in drag races and smoking them both. Maybe I'll try to find that again.
 
Being born in 1990, I've always had a fondness for this type of Hot Wheels wheel.

Just reminds me of being a kid, which I miss, and the amazement I felt and joy at such wild cars.

Being born in 1991, I too have a fondness for a strange-looking wheel such as that. I have plans to fit that on a custom in the future.

Those rear wheels look too large..

I have to agree there seems to be a small issue with proportions, but I think it's the body that's a wee bit too small for the wheels.
