Yeah, that's what I said back when he posted about it.

 

[photonrider]

Do any of you know who makes scale land speed cars?

Sorry. Couldn't resist, Ben. Have a great day, but hold on to your wallet.

 

[Cano]

Lol, you're really evil.

 

[photonrider]

I have a Zamboni.

 

[AOS-]

I like turtles.

The hell

 

[SkylineFaux]

Just got these today. The Z4M I got from the pegs, the Italia and $TH Ratbomb were parts of the activity book bundle.

Well, the flea market's Facebook page (yes I know...I "Liked" it.) updated saying that they got a "lot of" new stock from vendors for Christmas shopping... Let's hope Hot Wheels/Matchbox is on that list. Going to check it out later today.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I swear billions of those TH Ratbombs were made.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Went out to the flea market. Turns out the one vendor did finally reduce prices, $4 T-Hunts down to just $3. And other items that were two dollars went down, like the Holiday 240Z and Decades AE86. Was planning on getting those, but I thought that I may need to keep what cash I have with me for whatever else I find. However...Target had nothing new, Tuesday Morning had no HW Racing, and finally Walmart...

Decided to try out the Pixar Cars with the first two cars I've seen that AREN'T Lighting McQueen. Detail on them is pretty interesting.

72 pounds plus 15 for international postage which makes this the most expensive 1:64 I have ever purchased but its still short of my most expensive diecast.

Holy crap. 72 pounds for a 1.64?

Sorry. Couldn't resist, Ben. Have a great day, but hold on to your wallet.

Yea i have both original and super versions of it!

 

[OtakuTaikun]

So i have today and tomorrow off, so hopefully i'll be getting the shipping materials i know i'm slacking guys don't remind me!

I purchased a couple more stuff including a first editions Porsche 911 GT1 (since it was the subject of talk a few pages back), a first editions 930 Targa with some good detail on the whale tail, a white ACR Viper, and i FINALLY found the TA Celica. Passed on that cartooned F1 car, DBS, and the 2013 Stang pro car today. Kinda regretting it. Also stumbled upon a Boulevards F40, which is pretty nice.

I finally found the new C4 rally as well, but the grille tampo is super out of place. It's almost in the front air dam. > that pissed me off. It's part of "Road Rally" series, so hopefully we'll see a couple of my favs returning. The GDB STi is always a good casting to have as well as the Evo VII and Focus WRC. Hot wheel's Pug 205 casting was never cancelled and while unlikely, would be pretty cool. I saw the Block Fiesta in a 5 pack without the Gymkhana livery, so that may be part of it...

I was also looking at the Skylines i have on my dash thinking that it'd be awesome if Hot Wheels did another series with them... However, the tampos would surely ruin them

 

[CodeRedR51]

Anyone need Mystery Machines?

 

[AOS-]

Boulevard F40?! edit: I need those wheels!!!!! Does anyone have extras or seen a few from their local stores?


edit edit: Lamley Group posted this on facebook:

Says Walmarts there are pushing out old Decades... I'm going to need this Murc, because we sure as hell don't get any here. Can someone grab me some if they see any?

 

[McZachenF1138]

Jason: I do! I need three!

Andy: Oh yeah, I got one of those last weekend as well as a 55 Bel Air Boulevard. I guess I forgot to tell ya'll.
I s'pose I'll add those to what I got tonight when I take zee photos.

 

[MedigoFlame]

I. Need. To. Get. That. Murcielago.

Not a huge deal, but I'd like one, if you can spare.

Just got these today. The Z4M I got from the pegs, the Italia and $TH Ratbomb were parts of the activity book bundle.

I saw the picture first, then your name. What came to mind before I actually read what you wrote? "Activity book"

 

[AOS-]

And for tonight's pics of the day.... in case you missed it a few days ago.

 

[a6m5]

Top one looks very sweet, and I've come close to buying it before. More than once(yes, I have restraint!). Second one, I especially love the wheels.

 

[CodeRedR51]

^^^ Still waiting for the tuesday morning store to put theirs out.

Jason: I do! I need three!

Andy: Oh yeah, I got one of those last weekend as well as a 55 Bel Air Boulevard. I guess I forgot to tell ya'll.

Well I have only one since I decided to keep one.

So.....fight!

 

[a6m5]

I think whoever have the shortest name should get one, then McZ and you fight for the second one. No?

 

[McZachenF1138]

You have it a6m5.

 

[a6m5]

Are you sure? We could guess a number between 1~100, and whoever guess closer win the purchase? Sounds fair to me(and fun).

 

[McZachenF1138]

Okay, that sounds fair enough.

Jason, you pick a number between 1 and 100.

 

[AOS-]

Spoiler

It's 42.

How do you guys not have the Stock Cars? I saw them on the web way before the Road Racers..

Thanks for that. The hole in my wallet seems to be getting bigger and bigger. If it wasnt for the swap meet thats on this weekend I would of brought a couple of those.

So a large eBay lot arrived awhile ago and I've just gotten around to going through it. The listing was not that great and it was hard to tell the quality of the cars, but I gambled a bit and won for just 50 cents above opening bid.

The seller shipped them all individually wrapped and when I saw that....well I knew I had done well. I bought the lot just to get 5-6 out of the top box that I didn't have loose mint, but will end up keeping a lot more as they are all MINT-NM.

Anyway, I went ahead and split the cars into two groups. The first picture shows the cars I'm keeping from the lot while the other two are going into my ever growing pile of extras to purge. I actually tossed 5 cars into the trash that were newer and complete garbage.

The Keepers and the reason I bought this 80+ car lot
Toys R Us purple 930, the yellow Firebird, black Fiero w/UHs and the
Steel Stamp series Zender variation w/ clear windows.

Extras Box 1

Extras Box 2

PS: 16 cars with HW livery...
