He's everywhere!

Nice set of MBs for $2.99, a6m5.

Now you have the 'bus, too.

One of my neighbors just told me and my brother to start making a list of things we want from ebay! That Boulevard series Rigor Motor is so going on my list along with a few other surprises.

 

[Spacegoat]

Can I give your neighbour my list as well?

Got my 2013 Falcon XB $uper TH today via Santa Clause UPS.

Hahahaha....... no.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

just picked up a couple HW slick rides at Publix ... from 2009!

I have a bus from the single pack, but it was the four other vehicles that sold it to me. I had seen the Ford Super Duty with rubber boat, didn't have the Honda Ridgeline, and I have no idea why, but I've always been drawn to campers.

 

[photonrider]

I have a fleet of Campers - the 'bus was the same 'bus? Not a variation?

I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure it was different.

My bad, I thought you were getting the same one I got, the purple one. Does it have the same lame gray plastic rear?

Nice pic. Looks much cooler here than small pic of it I've seen before. 👍

P.S. I got off work early today, so I swung by another Tuesday Morning, but no Hot Wheels.

 

[photonrider]

Hmmm. Then you got two 'buses, and I got only one.

 

[a6m5]

Why is that still funny.

Edit: I couldn't help myself:

The purple one was 2012, this is the 2013 version. I already have the purple one.

And yeah, sort of a dark grey rear. Only thing I dislike is that tampo smudge on the back fender.

You had to do that you sick puppy?

You could've said something like (in a sort of very casual indifferent voice)
"Oh! nothing much, photon, just different wheels and some other colour, not too exciting, just another boring variation, can't find it now, probably chucked under the bed ....."

 

[a6m5]

Ah, OK, I didn't realize that you had the 2012 one already. 👍 Do you think the value will climb on it? I bought one partially as investment, because it was hella popular. I did pay the full $20 though. Popular Super Treasure Hunts seems to retail on eBay for that.

Not sure, I've opened both of mine so couldn't tell ya.

 

[a6m5]

So disappointed in you right now. j/k

I worded that wrong. Honestly, I was just trying to be helpful!

Santa ClaUPS!

Santa's delivery helpers..... They are elfs that are taller and they drive trucks.

And Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everybody here!!

 

[motortrend]

I got a few of my HotWheels and Matchbox cars back since my little cousin isn't really using them because theyre slow, so I took the oldest ones and the first few ones I owned back home.

This one isn't that old:

 

[CodeRedR51]

I used to have one of those Broncos when I was little. Had a red one with Zebra graphics too. 👍

Edit: Someone from HWC used my PDF instructions and made a display frame, but all black. 👍

 

[a6m5]

That Bronco's sweet. 👍 What else is sweet is the black dividers in the case. Did he paint it, or did he find black colored boards?

 

[photonrider]

Looks to me like he used the black board.

Motortrend . . . actually I'm waiting for Cano to explode.
Post more old cars please. Quick! And all smashed and scraped down and all. I'm sure he's already frothing around the mouth.

55 Chevy is a Color Changer, submerge it in cold/hot water to see if the paint still works!

Black foamcore...

Art stores have them. Michael's probably doesn't. Curry's do have them however.

Black imo still doesn't work as well as white. White's a standard backdrop colour for product presentation, and black cars don't pop out whatsoever.

 

[photonrider]

Black foamcore...

The word 'board' as used in the exchange between a6m5 and myself was used as a noun not as the proper noun used for instance if it was made by Elmer's (Foam Board) or the original company (Fome-Cor) either or neither of which may have been used or not used.

However - if you feel better at correcting us - do be my guest. Any therapy is good.

Aw come on Jason, you're killing me, mate. Pity about the tampo smudge on the back quarter though.

The rag top Beetle is all kinds of awesome.👍

Well the original poster used the term "foamcore" as well, so...

 

[photonrider]

We'll call it foamcore, too, then . . . must be careful not to use words that insult the product.

 

[a6m5]

Never heard of a foamcore, but am I surprised that I didn't know the proper name? Not particularly.

 

[photonrider]

Let's talk about collecting various types of 'foamcore'!

I've heard of a rare pink variety. I think it was an error.
