[Paulie]

Well I found a CTS wagon, Fisker Karma and Infiniti G37 today but still no Holden Ute.

 

[Apok]

Dear lord Cano! It would probably take me weeks just looking at those if I got something like that... only god knows what would hapen when I actually opened some.

 

[Prince.M5]

Wait, are you serious Cano? That, to me looks like a years of purchase of my whole collections!

 

[RACECAR]

Dude, you got whole shipments of those cars!!! How did you get those Mattel marked boxes?

Is the Fisker a Hotwheels or someone else? I'd quite like to find one of those.

Here's my sons Monster Truck collection:

and a different view:

Usually they are in a pile of some sort.... LOL

I have a few older Hot Wheels, I'll try to find them and take a pic.

Nice toys in this thread. 👍

 

[a6m5]

That's a lot of monster trucks.

at Cano's pics. :tup: I saw a tank! I saw a tank!

That's beast! You must feel like this.

Yeah , very serious. When I said it was huge, it was because, well, it's freaking huge. And there are still cars awaiting shipment. My friend came a day too early and two or three packages arrived a day later.

Dude, you got whole shipments of those cars!!! How did you get those Mattel marked boxes?

The guy I bought them from shipped in them. They'll be filled with loose cars (:

at Cano's pics. :tup: I saw a tank! I saw a tank!

In fact, there were like 25 or 26 tanks,half of them for a friend, half for me. They can be seen in the following pictures of JUST THE LOOSE CARS. I haven't opened anything that came in blister. I first had to organize the loose mayhem, but before that, I laid them out on the table for a group picture. Look.

lest's do a round up. Clockwise from above, the blower motor in orange is a car-containing case that dates from 1983, it's been emptied; relevant pieces are the yellow tracto-cab, the Getty Golf in silver and the whitewalled Packard. And you see those pesky plastic thingies, the bulldozer and the little truck and all that? laugh all you want, they are 1950's items from Western Germany.

Here we can see a rare already VW Golf MKII in red, the OP truck in mint green, the Lesney Land Rover and Benz ambulance, both of which will see restoration (The Land Rover is due next week), but the really hardcore-difficult pieces there are the white and blue-stripe Mustang, which is incredibly rare, aboive it we have a redline (1969) Hot Wheels Shelby Turbine in very good condition, alongside it another redline, the thing with the rocket over it, called Rocket Bye Baby, which was a Shell Promo car; the 1935 Ford in wine and the McLaren-like thing in light blue at bottom right are also very hard to get. Both are minty but dirty, lol.

Here we see my share of tanks, tanks and MORE tanks, some of them really difficult to get ahold of today; also, the 1977 Trans Am, the green van with a wing (Spoiler Sport it's called), the orange GMC Motorhome with metal base and above all, the orange VW Vanagon, are pretty rare; most of them are in near mint condition.

In here we have the really hardcore pieces. At the very front are some redlines in very good condition, including the red Ferrari (at last), and the blue Carabo. The antifreeze weird thing is called Turbofire and I've been wanting one for years now, it finally fell, and in such a good shape. The blue Cobra with Real Riders could be a reissue of the early-80s original, I have yet to find that out; also, check out the Tomica DeTomaso Pantera in silver and black and Ferrari 512BB, both with the black wide wheels, which makes them extremely difficult to find.

Moving left we find the rare green Duesenberg, a 1961 Ford from Racing Champions and the flamed JL 1932 Ford that got damaged in shipping and lost the headlamp bar, so I'll have to fabricate one. The jeep changes colour with hot or cold water.

I finally got back the Matchbox Ford LTD police car; the white Formula-1 car at top, with blue tampos, is extremely rare and mint as heck, and the green 70 Camaro will be receiving a full wheel swap.

And finally, the Porsches, silver Ferrari and Cobra are all mint; the yellow buses have plastic bodies (note window tone variation) and the blue 1940 Ford Woody is the first edition of that casting, and it's pretty rare.

I'll provide pictures later of the more relevant pieces (redlines and such), and of course, of all the trash that's still in bllisters... when it isn't anymore (:

Do I see a Renault R5 race car in there? Pantera's my first favorite exotic car. 👍 I see the same Hotwheel 850 that I have('91). Oscar Mayer Weinermobile's completely money. I think I saw early 50's pickup truck, maybe Chevy, not sure. I wish Matchbox would make something like that. I'm a fan of '51 F1 pickup truck.

If you're refering to the white car with the number 2, it's a Peugeot 205 racer; the truck is indeed a 1955 Chevy; Matchbox does an F100 casting which is pretty damn good, but so far no F1, you can grab one from M2 or Johnny Lightning, but it'll cost ya (:

205's still nice. 👍 I think I saw some M2 at Walmart, when I was looking for Hotwheels. They make some nice classics, but didn't seen any F1's there. I did look through them. I did end up buying a Johnny Lighting that night though. It was a old Fury police cruiser.

Edit: I use one of these(1/18th scale) as a business card holder at work:

 

[Syntax error]

Although not about collecting as such, I saw this Hot Wheels projection advertisement I thought you guys would be interested in.

 

[a6m5]

I'm not sure what this was about, exactly. Brilliant though. 👍

that red Hot Wheels redline Ferrari is gorgeous! Looks pretty much mint from the picture.

It's far from mint but it's in great condition; if I wanted a mint one I'd be looking at about 60-80 dollars worth of car. So, not right now.

I'll post pics of it later, when I actually finish organizing all the stuff. I'm currently separating what goes for sale and what stays with me, and also, what cars make upgrades to others I have.

Yeah that's why I said it looks like that in the picture. Still an awesome piece to find...
In other news I got myself a orangeish lamborghini reventon roadster to go with my gray one, a regular lamborghini reventon in an even orenger orange that looks awesome, a BMW M3 which I adore because I am a massive uncureable fanboy, a Ferrari 330 p4 that is actually red (my previous one is in a HW livery, so bleh), a '63 T-bird T-hunt in a lovely green. It has a very nice weight to it, a 911 GT2 in silver and two Majorettes. A Mini cabriolet in orange and an AVIS van. Because I have an AVIS van from my early childhood and I have fond memories of it.

 

[Cano]

Ah, your stores restocked. Look for the Back to the Future DeLorean, it comes in those cases. You'll have to hunt it.

And lucky you that can buy new Majorettes. In here Wal Mart brought them about two years ago but I was more or less broke then, so I was like I'll grab them later, then bam, from one week to another they were pretty much gone. I only managed to get afew.

 

[sumbrownkid]

I'd die in sheer joy if I got any of my Hot wheel track sets back that my mom donated.

 

[Ryou]

Went to the store today, and picked up this: Hot Wheels Variations The Ultimate Guide Volume 4.

Information on it Right here.

Brief Review

It's great for those people collecting old Hot Wheels, and somewhat newer Hot Wheels, as it contains a FULL list of Hot Wheels from 1989-2008. Many, Full-colored photos. Also, contains details about the different colors and types of the model. I would recommend this for a person looking for older Hot Wheels.

 

[Prince.M5]

Yesh, satisfaction!

[M-POWER_FTW]

^^^ Been looking for that Reventon Roadster!

BTW, didn't get a chance to compliment your new wheels, Cano. Did I see a silver VW Golf in there? And I also have that black/grey Callaway sitting somewhere around the house, as well.

Here are some I picked up in the last week or two, except the 2009 models.

eeewwww speed machines. I loathe that series.

And yes, there is a silver AND a red Golf, which upgraded mine nicely.

 

[a6m5]

I don't dislike the speed machines, but I never really looked at them either. What I didn't like was the blue F40. Nooooo.

Loving the GT40 in IM5's picture. MPower's mini + series of 510's nice. 👍

 

[Stiggy]

Here's some of the cars I've bought over the past month or so.

First up, in my last post in this thread I made mention of seeing a Back To The Future Delorean in a 3 pack, and after a bit of thought, decided to go back and buy it

I've also made mention of the fact that I hadn't been able to find a blue Ford Falcon XB.
I finally managed to get one, from a mate who also collects Hot Wheels cars.

These 1:38 scale Ferrari's were free from a Shell promo at Top Gear Live.

And finally, here are some of the single pack cars. I particularly like the '67 Custom Mustang, which I think is a re-casting of the original redline model from 1968.
