Bad-ass stuff in here, even if it is a little abused. The Majorette VW panel bus is really hard to find, mine is in pretty much the same shape. The Siku fire truck is awesome too, I love those bigger scale suckers. The... Aston, or whatever the heck that is with jeweled headlamps, is a corgi, right? That one is awesome too. And that Renault 5 and the military Binz ambulance aren't common at all either. But the real icing in the cake is the Norev Minijet. What is it, Smiglo?

Anyway, very cool grabs all of them, a refreshing post after almost all hot wheels stuff lately.

^^^ Well it does say "Hot Wheels and Matchbox" in the title.

Wow, that Ferrari with the 5-spokes is interesting. And THREE of those variations? Guess it's not going to be a rare/special one. Well, time to hold onto it for a while.

That's 3 out of about 30 I saw on the pegs between ~15 stores?

 

[homeforsummer]

How old do you think it is?

I'm gonna say early to mid 1990s. It looks like the sort of thing I'd have got from a cereal box.

Errors & variations > Boring standard mainline releases.

Thrill of the hunt.

You can't beat finding errors. These are the needles in a haystack of Hot Wheels cars. Or a single, but rare diamond in a cave full of gold...... Or something like the figures of speeches I used.

Good find on the cars and their errors 👍.. Can't believe Frog beat me to the 302 error .

Oh, get outta here with your "boring" mainline release stuff! For me, errors would be more like a stinky fart of the hunt.

Ok, I'll carry some febreeze air freshiners when I scout for errors.

That's pretty cool, i'm pretty sure they've done a Tomica 'Wangan Midnight' set as well (can't find pics)... 'Devil Z' and either an RX7 or R33 (i forget which one).

[EDIT], Apparently it's has the 'Devil Z', the white Testarossa, the black Porsche, white R32, blue R33, and the silver Supra.

Just had a look at the Tomica 'Initial D' six car box set... the blue SIL-EIGHTY looks awesome!

Might well be the same seller I bought mine from actually, as mine was from Hong Kong. Actually cheaper buying from there than it is the money-grabbing gits in the UK.

Got another Tomica on the way soon too, will hopefully arrive in a few days.

 

[CodeRedR51]

The Tomica Limiteds look really nice, but looks like they average around $20-30.

 

[TheeFrogmanlego]

Hey does Toys r us carry current stock or it varies ?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Varies by store. My local store is pretty current, most of the stores I stopped at over the weekend were a bit behind.

 

[Antonisbob]

Interesting.

I didn't think companies would make a die-cast Nissan Queef.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Finally this thing is getting closer to release....

Just needs a wheel swap.

Here's the Comic Con exclusive release:

 

[a6m5]

Too bad the wheels suck on the standard version, but I'd still buy one!

Vspec: Febreze has its limitations you know.

New addition:

Cool little car! 👍 I guess I'm a weirdo though, I like Priuses, too.

Yeah might be the same seller, I bought a Silver Toyota 86 from. ( which I'm still waiting to arrive, by the way ) Once it does though, I plan on picking up one of these.

I like Priuses, too.

Reported.

I had to order one of those. Love the Suzuki Swift, and this one's exceptionally cool & neat. 👍 When this cool Swift were out elsewhere, U.S. got rebadged Daewoos instead. I wish I could have sent the GM & Suzuki executives to jail.

Reported.

Whatever. Prius & Leaf's are money in the bank!

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Scalpers are lickin their chops for scooby doo and crew to hits the shelves. Can't wait to turn their 74 cents into $4. Returns like that and who needs the Ponzi schemes!

EDIT: Just checked and the CC Scoobies are going to fetch $25ish on eBay. Oh the humanity

Nice. Always happy to help you spend your money.

So I found out one of my SLING SHOT cars has a bent right wing.

Make sure any cars you guys buy that have wings or anything that they aren't bent or broken.

The CC Scoobies were about that much anyway to buy. The super special Kight Rider car from Comic Con was $40.

I expect the Mystery Machine to be just as hard to find as the Ecto and the Back to the Future Delorean. (I have a couple extras if anyone needs a BTTF car...)

 

[MedigoFlame]

That Nissan Leaf actually looks pretty cool. Love Tomicas, if only Tomy would sell more :censored:ing diecast cars here! Waiting to find the Mitsubishi Pajero/Suzuki Swift double pack at my Toys R Us. But the stock is barely renewed. Honestly, if I could buy stuff online. I would run out of money so quickly, there's so many interesting Tomicas out there that we don't get here! (Curse you guys for buying that Toyota 86...)

As for the Mystery Machine...boy is that going to be a hard one to find. Hope to find it eventually. Also, does anyone know if the N Mixes are out yet? Really want to see those Vipers appear.

 

[CodeRedR51]

No N cars popping up in the Finds section on HWC.com yet.

Went to Taco Bell tonight which is next to Wal-Mart so stopped by there and checked out the diecast isle. No new hotwheels but did get one of those Johny Lightning Jeeps like the one someone found a few pages ago.

That was me, also from Walmart. I love Walmart, man. They carry such a superior inventory compared to the other stores where I live. Props to you for pointing that out, while back. 👍

P.S. Thank you Spacegoat for your services, too. You did good my man! 👍
P.P.S. That Hong Kong seller is the same one I we got the 86 from. Did you hear that Medigo? 86. Just checking.

 

[Antonisbob]

Mystery Machine! Gotta get that!

Not sure how much this will end up to be, but really want this... Of course, since I can't buy anything online. It's a no go for me. If someone goes for it here, mind sharing some of the lot with me? Please...? Want it so badly!

Or trade/buy with whoever gets it.
