My fave gotta be the Camaro Z28 & that red Fox body Mustang. Especially that Camaro, what a sweet finish. 👍
 
@TheeFrogmanlego- I wouldnt mind swopping you for the cars you want - I picked up another KITT yesterday, and i can get you one of the black M3 GT2's easily. Only prob is that I'm in South Africa - we can both cover the respective postage fees. Let me know if you'd be interested.
 
Great stuff Wyvern, I can't blieve the 99 cent 100% cars. Awesome. The bag of mistery was an amazing deal, and those two tomicas are money.
 
I couldn't tell the condition through the plastic that well, but to my surprise the jeep was fresh pull. It had a tag on it with a booth number so presumably its was residing at an antique mall at some point.

The tomica were $2. Again I just bought them because they are japanese from the 70s and mint. Not sure their value but they're so detailed I couldn't pass them up!

Oh and for customizing the screw open car...Not a chance. If I haven't seen it before, it must not have been available long. On top of that it's NM.

My favorite are the 25 cent corgi casting HW toy truck and the Pink roll bar Nissan Hardbody as well as the pink promotional 80s firebird.

Stopped by Target this morning.....nothing. Although they put some of the team hotwheels cars on the pegs with the regular ones, which isn't right because they are not the same.

Id be happy to pay but after researching its like 100$ =/ unless you know of cheaper alternatives il be willing to pay =D
 
Someone who can't spend any money right now. Plus I want them in a mint blister if available.

I did just bid on this though. Assuming it sells for what I bid. If it goes over, I'll wait.
 
Seems like my mom found a part of my Hot Wheels/Matchbox collection under my bed when she locked me out of the house for two hours... If you read my post on "How was your day?" thread, you'll see just how bad today was. Probably one of the worst days of this year...

Keep spoiling your parents, bud. :lol:

Unfortunately - besides the usual air mail - I dont know any other options... I'll see if i can work something out. Postage is a killer - that $100 of yours is about R800 of our money! I recently shipped something to my bro in Aus - given, it was a kinda large package, but I ended up paying R1000 to get it to him. There were alot of sentimental stuff in there, and a few vintage comics, but the rest of the stuff's value didnt even come to half that!

Damn its so darn expensive =/ LOL

He's a great seller Btw. Ive bought nearly 50 loose from him and several of his mystery lots. Plus he ships VERY quick and each car is wrapped. His shipping is high for one car though so I always bought no less than 5 at a time.
 
Most of those cars I have seen on eBay are usually listed for $5 themselves, + shipping. So I may still come out ahead on this one. I got my Surf'n fun car for .97 cents plus shipping ($4.50 total I think) and it's MINT. Recently separated from the 5-pack it was sold in.

Edit: Trading 2 of the mystery COPO Camaro's still in their baggy for:

x1 Willy's '12 TH
x1 Tyrrell '12 TH

Think I'm going to try and finish off the 2012 Treasure Hunts. Missing quite a few though still. :D

Edit 2: Also picked up another purple XB Falcon and a 5-spoke '68 Cougar from the dollar store this morning.

I'm happy Target's finally getting its act straight with the Hot Wheels. I was getting tired of seeing empty spaces and Walmart hardly carries anything good.
 
locoman88 - nice sighting. This is what I love about this thread. The odd surprise.

Still missing three of the new Batmobiles:

Here is a pic of the Marvel pack I got cheap because of a car missing. I didn't mind; the pack is going to be opened soon.

And some other odds and ends:

shame you got the blue RX 7 , the first RX 7 was black and came with an "inca gold trim" according to lamely die cast it was a "limited run" and now that I think of it, there was only a hand full on the pegs for about half a month until they switched over to blue and that's ultra common now, i kinda regret not buying more there pretty sick cars =D

Limited run? *cough*BS*cough*

Saw tons of them yesterday while out searching for a new 4-sided shipper that's hitting local grocery stores.

Anyway, the Batman cars are just re-releases on fancy cards. There is a new "Bat" coming out shortly from the new Dark Knight movie. 👍

Sorry for double post
The bat already came out , my friend has one * and he wont sell it tome because quote" its batman bro, its gona be worth alot of money!! " and sadly hees true people go nuts over the batman cars and there not all that rare, i have every batman vehicle in first edition form , woo whoo mee
And not limited run but more as in special paint job , and in every way is a tad harder to find than the blue one but il have to quote the article !
 
It's just harder to find because it was the first release. Most of those have been purchased now and since the blue one is the current release, it's easier to find. (I've seen it in new boxes still) Once we get a month or two down the road, it too will be harder to find.

The Bat is in the N-cases which are hitting some stores, but not widely spread yet.

Yes. I like the new cards, though. Good to hear about the 'new' new Batmobile.

Here's one of the 'older' Batmobiles I have bedside a newer one - same thing, just a new card.
