Question...Do y'all keep the boxes that they come in?

I certainly don't need any more boxes, but these are rather nice; especially the KAIDO * HOUSE boxes. I can see not keeping blister packs (i.e., Hot Wheels) after you open them as they're no longer viable as a container. But for brands like POP RACE, KAIDO * HOUSE, Mini GT, etc., they're actual boxes and you don't destroy them when you open them (at least I don't).

Yes, I even keep the Hotwheels Premium and silver series packaging. Please don't ask why...

Finally got that Saga, which was three weeks ago.

Both front doors open (though a bit hard when the window is attached), along with the hood. Rubber tyres and suspension. The price is a bit hefty, to the point of it being slightly more expensive than some Spark models, but I think it's worth it for the novelty alone.

Spoiler: extra pics

But more recently, I've managed to grab the Viper RT/10 from Matchbox's Moving Parts lineup.

I love this thing already.

That might just be the best Moving Parts release yet.

Casting looks identical to the re-tooled Hot Wheels version

I do have the HW version to compare, and the matchbox is slightly larger in comparison.

Hot Wheels aren't exactly 1/64, but they did do a Sauber Mercedes C9.

I found a Kyosho version on ebay. Not as cheap as a HW (obviously), but I think they're probably better quality. And I don't mind paying more if the quality is there. It's coming from Japan so it'll take a while to get to me (estimates put it around August 5-7), but that's fine as well. Now all I need are the Jaguar XJR9 and the Porsche 962C to complete my Group C list. I did find the Jaguar on ebay, but it's a bit more than I'm willing to pay (at this time). I wish I could find a Rothmans 962C, but every time I search it never comes up. That's OK though, I like the other ones that do come up (especially the Camel version), but I'd much rather have the Rothmans version. But I'm starting to wonder if it was every made in 1/64 scale. If not, the Camel version is probably the one I'll wind up with.

I also ordered a Porsche 917K (Sparky) which should be here in the next couple days (it's at the USPS distribution center near me, just waiting on it to get sent to my local USPS so they can deliver it).

Hot Wheels again. They made a Rothmansesque 962 in 2020.
