They remind me of wide versions of Micro Machines.

Exactly.. which are my favorite toy car ever in history. I'm not sure why but those wide weird things interest me.

Honestly I had no idea. The listing didn't state it and the pics made them look 1:64.

I'm actually disappointed they are that big lol

Well if you don't want em.... :)

Edit: New Stuff! Also.. something finally broke down my wall of Hot Wheel elitism. You'll see.

First off. Another cool classic. Not my favorite, but I really like the color.

Now all I'm missing is the 510.. must have it!. And the Chevette.. which I don't know if I'll buy. It's so ugly! Lol.

With my other GT500

Second off, and not the one to break down my wall. That will be very last. But this is progress for me.
Matchbox 4Runner. I love the 4runner, and hot wheels doesn't have one. My only downsides with this is the tampos . And to me it looks too skinny, but its a 4Runner so I'm happy with it.

3rd, a Matchbox powergrab, which is basically a Hot wheels mystery model, but for matchbox. It's the only one I wanted. Lamborghini Gallardo police. I like small Lamborghinis, and I didn't have a Gallardo. Despite being a police car, it's still awesome and I know these actually exist, so I'm cool with it. Still if I find a hot wheels Gallardo, I'll buy it.

Matchbox Model of Yesteryear is 1:43. I bought two cars of old models not knowing they weren't 1:64.

Still have not decided if I want to get rid of them or make them open displays permanently.

Also, isn't that a Super Snake?

And we're back, now that my phone has decided to play nice with the internet.

Why yes it is.
A 2010 Shelby GT500 Super Snake.

So finally. My last purchase of the night. And the one to make me buy non hot wheels stuff! This tottally sick Greenlight Tow pack C10. I love it, and it's pretty spot on to hot wheels size, so it works with them in display, as displayed by Dom's Charger.

And I guess I apparently just got these too. My sister got them for me. The camaro is ok. I don't have a new Camaro, so it's cool to hve one. The bronco I love, hate the tampos though. This one will probably get a repaint, and left alone other than that.

If they brought back Micro Machines I would be all over it, can you imagine the wonders modern production methods could do for cars that small, the detail they could achieve with injection moulding these days would be great. I have a decent selection of cars stored away but I would love new ones.

Dude come on, that's almost general culture. Pics?
 
Fished this out for all you Micro Machine fans :sly:

Ah, what a cute Pontiac that is. I do own quite a few Micromachines myself, and I even have those giant contraptions that looked like a giant car, which then you could open to reveal a track, or even a miniature city! Really cool stuff, I loved playing with those when I was younger.
 
Posted them a long time ago.... in the other thread. You've seen them before too.

I don't remember. What are they? If they're Models of Yerteryear they're 1930s vehicles, which make me instantly interested.

They are now owned by Hasbro, presumably along with the rights to Micro Machines.

I believe even the name is defunct now. CodeMasters, the company who made the old games, plus a bunch of other awesome games tried to make a new one and couldn't get rights or anything so they made up some generic name for basically a brand new micro machines game

Ahh man. I'd completely forgot about them Awesome games! One of the most enjoyable series of games on console ever! 👍
 
Yup yup. If you've got time and like 15 bucks, check out Toybox Turbos. That's the new one. You won't be disappointed

A lot of people have said the game loses its fun after a few hours. As much as Ive enjoy the bird-eye's view Micro Machines game, I have beef with a simple game that I could get bored of really fast.
 
@Nvrrespected I'll have to check out 'Toybox Turbos' 👍

The last Micro Machines game i played didn't even have much in the way of vehicles. It was Micro Maniacs, a truly Awesome! game (imo). My favourite character was Beatbox (his theme music was ripped off by 'Nelly' 'getting hot in herre'. :lol:) Loved that game and all the characters to death. Really wish i still had that game.

(Sorry for going so off topic)

This is true, but I have multiplayer partners for whenever I want, and that's always fun. For me, since I loved the old games I don't really get bored of it.

Oh jeez I remember that one.
 
Anyone with Kroger stores in your area, they are getting new shippers and people are finding the Bluebird Wagon $TH in them. Just a heads up.

Whoop. Kroger owned stores overall or Kroger stores themselves, cause Kroger owns a ton of chain stores, like the Fred Meyer 5 min from my house.
