Bought that Garage 30 car set from Tuesday Morning for $40. The VW Bus and the Dodge pickup are going on eBay for sure to try and make up for the cost. After I pulled the cars I want to keep, the following cars are available to those who have an account with me:

1. Ferrari 365 GTB4 Daytona
2. Ferrari Dino 246 GTS
3. Ferrari 512 M
4. Ford GT40
5. '67 Pontiac Firebird
6. '55 Chevy Panel
7. '70 Dodge Hemi Challenger
8. '68 Plymouth Hemi Cuda (Cano?)
9. '71 Dodge Demon
10. Volkswagen Beetle
11. Custom '56 Volkswagen Drag Beetle
12. Custom '69 Volkswagen Squareback
13. Karmann Ghia

These are available for the lofty sum of $1.50 each. Let me know what you want and I'll put them in your box(s).

Wat? no o_O

See.

Now, if that actually had WWII German markings........

Heavy machine gun would also help.

I don't care about the autographs, but that is an awesome set. Never shopped for one, but probably more than $40.

It has all three of Wayne's, Larry's, and Phil's autographs. If that was closer to $200, I wouldn't think twice about buying that, especially since all that set is going to do is go up in value tremendously.

The cheapest I've found one is in HWC's Shop for $80.
I think I'm going to buy that soon, and then get the regular 30 car Garage set later from Ollie's because I don't know how long that is going to around for.

Now, if that actually had WWII German markings........

Heavy machine gun would also help.

That's why you got to get into customizing them!

 

[Cano]

See.

Ah, I see. I'll take:

Ferrari 512 M
'67 Pontiac Firebird
'55 Chevy Panel
'70 Dodge Hemi Challenger
Custom '56 Volkswagen Drag Beetle
Karmann Ghia

Now, if that actually had WWII German markings........

Heavy machine gun would also help.

Ah, I see. I'll take:

Karmann Ghia was taken by AOS.

You didn't want the '68 Cuda? Figured you did since you liked how it looked.

 

[SVX]

I have 2 extras if you want to trade.

Shipping...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Garage set VW Bus and Dodge PW listed on eBay, starting bids at $4.99.

Let's see where this goes...

Flying Customs mix B

Sheriff Patrol looks sweet, I'm also loving the blister card design on Flying Customs.

Also, the spoiler's peculiar placement probably meant for pushing the entire car down for better handling.

Functional it may be, doesn't stop it looking horrible though.

 

[Antonisbob]

Bit late but; I got the Mars rover for Christmas, which was a nice surprise, as last time I was out I couldn't find any.

That's one thing I've liked about that series from the beginning. I'm glad the cars in the series is picking their game up a bit!

That's what Tamiya 1/35's for .

By the way, thanks a lot for the HWC link, McZ. Now I got couple more cars on the radar.

 

[McZachenF1138]

You need to see what I'm getting from eBay soon. Ten cars for $80.

 

[DwightSchrute12]

If you want one, you'd pretty much have to buy one on eBay. It was kind of a rare one to start with. Even harder to find one now, at least where I live.

Yeah, I know, I figure as much, but that still doesn't stop me from having a slight glimmer of hope.

 

[a6m5]

There's definitely a chance. 👍

With or without shipping? When people mention eBay hauls, shipping definitely counts. OK, I think it does.

What did you get?

 

[McZachenF1138]

You'll see.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Flying Customs mix B

blue wheels... red wheels...

 

[McZachenF1138]

Someone buy this.

YOU. You RCKakashi14. Buy this.

 

[CodeRedR51]

When buying online, shipping does indeed count.

I won't purchase single cars if the shipping is more than a few dollars. I've shipped plenty of cars to know that if it's more than say....$4 for basic shipping, they're just gouging the shipping price to make more money. And because of that they won't get my business.

 

[McZachenF1138]

All the cars I'm buying are from the same seller, so shipping costs won't be as big of a factor as they would otherwise.



Edit:
I think we need to teach this kid a lesson.

I don't even think I need to point out the cars he used here.

 

[AOS-]

^ That looks awesome! I should smash up a few ugly cars I have and turn them into junkyard cars for my diorama. I wonder how he broke the cars.







So you guys remember this?

Yeah, remember how I said I got an extra one to do a custom? It was going to be the next Micro Lawn car, but my first one is making no progress at all so I'm dropping the project Thus I have no use for my second one. This will not be a first-come-first-serve deal. If you want a Hot Ones Sunagon, PM me and I'll decide a way for whomever gets it.

Karmann Ghia was taken by AOS.

Ahhhh ha ha ha ha ha.

Shipping...

Big deal. Dish out a few extra dollars, get something you'll likely never find. Mind you, I've torn the cards.

 

[a6m5]

Those wrecks are the AWESOMEST. 👍

Look AOS, I found your Garage Stingray thing in the last pic.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Garage cars, an M3, a 512, a TH and two $THs. I don't think so.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Someone buy this.

YOU. You RCKakashi14. Buy this.

I found that at the diecast store in the mall nearby my home, and it was quickly sold.

 

[a6m5]

Garage cars, an M3, a 512, a TH and two $THs. I don't think so.

Still very cool.

AOS - I was thinking blow torch, but I'm not sure. *edit Actually, that's some kind of cutter, isn't it?

 

[Cano]

Karmann Ghia was taken by AOS.

Screw AOS ):

You didn't want the '68 Cuda? Figured you did since you liked how it looked.

Haha, I already have one, I want one to customize/detail, thus a6m5 giving me his shoe-less carcass.

That's what Tamiya 1/35's for .

Screw you then too. Go lick a Tamiya.

Holy hell those are amazing! Blah blah $TH. Who the heck cares what he used to make them? They're better off this way. Awesome.

If you want a Hot Ones Sunagon, PM me and I'll decide a way for whomever gets it.

Decide already to drop it in my box, dude. Way easier than whatever the hell you want to make people do.

Ahhhh ha ha ha ha ha.

Screw you again, haha

 

[CodeRedR51]

Garage cars, an M3, a 512, a TH and two $THs. I don't think so.

Yeah I agree, not cool at all.

Seeing stuff like that, when I would rather have them myself than to see them torn up like that, makes me want to punch that guy in the face. There's always another collector who NEEDS them for their collection and they could be put to better use that way than to be destroyed.

 

[Spacegoat]

^Exactly. 👍

I'll admit it does look cool, but couldn't he have used something else? Seeing those all TH's (especially the Mustang) torn up, makes me one sad panda.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I don't even think they're particularly well done either.
The only thing I like is the Gallardo. That idea is cool and I'm sure I can find an interesting use for something like that.

 

[SVX]

Big deal. Dish out a few extra dollars, get something you'll likely never find. Mind you, I've torn the cards.

More than a few dollars...

That's to Canada. Dimensions a from a short card HW BTW.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Here's something for you guys to look for. Hitting Walmarts as we speak. I'm not even going to bother looking as I won't find any. But you may have better luck with your "automobiles".
