You're basically paying extra for a box with a brand name.


I could get a similar one for half the price.


Off-topic.... I could get the TLV Nismo iDX when I go to Japan this August. By that time, it has been released and available in pegs.
Got that link again?
 
Is that a "special" dealer edition? ...i think things like that are rip offs


Yep, it's a special dealer edition. They also released a Tomica casting of a GT500 R35 GT-R with Motul livery.

For 28 USD in Daboxtoys... :eek:
 
I could've got that Motul R35 for around $8 that comes with Lego rip-off figures and a few other stupid little accessories.

The point of this post: Don't buy it from DaBoxToys.

That annoys me. Not only because of the casting...but just the price in general.. infact, the Kyosho Motul R35 was cheaper...
 
I knew that Hot Bird was special but I had no idea it was as special as your CIPSA. I nearly brought a lot of 200+ cars a couple of years ago to get a brown Hot Bird but I was sniped. The lot of cars that this Hot Bird came in only cost me $9 AUS plus postage.

You missinterpreted my comment by a few thousand units :lol: a brown Hot Bird will never be as rare as a CIPSA, but it is indeed a great piece, that is why I said it was the most signifcant car to be posted here since my CIPSA, but far from being as rare or as valuable. Still a great car and a freaking steal at that price, and with great extra cars to boot!
 
Neighborhood Market? Never heard of that. :dunce: We only have a Super Center here, although I suppose I could take the half hour drive to another town if I really wanted.

It's like a smaller version of Walmart, with mostly a grocery store vibe. Not sure if there are any in your area, they are all over here.
 
My work appears to have stopped stocking Hot Wheels again. A shame as there was a solitary 458 in black with a stripe. Was hoping to get some new 2014s.
 
Future collecting, investing, and customizing are what's on my spur-of-the-moment to-do list for that car. First collecting, as always.
 
These two took over 3 weeks to arrive. Also, 100% Celica came with the blister partially open. Not all sellers are equal. :ouch:



Hot Wheels K-Mart Mail-in '55 Chevy Panel




Hot Wheels 100% Toyota Celica


Also, some random cheap, but neat cars:

Johnny Lightning Oldsmobile 442 Hurst Pace Car

I've been to just one(brand new). No hot wheels. :crazy:
Here's a nice pic of it on the card.
God, what is up with the color. :crazy: I also think FTE wheels would have improved its looks[/MRPICKY]

I like the '55 Chevy Panel. I just had to have this one, too(I think it's my fifth or sixth). Airplane is neat. Reminds me of WWII Navy plane due to the color. 👍
 
I have the silver and red one hopefully the my keep making that model. Kinda wished they made a Zonda.
 
I wouldn't know.
For once this aussie found something decent hey, haha.
We do like the cars you post. 👍

@commodoreben - You may not need the Supra, eh? I do have one set aside for you, but I get the feeling that it won't be that elusive once it starts circulating. Also that GT2 Porsche.
 
Been routinely checking 3 Walmarts for G case dump bins lately. One of them got theirs in, cleaned out of Fiats and Zamacs. Other two stores are behind the times I guess, still no bins. 👎
 
Finally found a Fast Bed Hauler. Been looking forever for that. I'll post the pic when I get home.
 
I'm looking for a flat black Honda Civic Boulevard car. The one I have now has a couple of splits on the blister. The ups and downs of collecting. I'm going to try to find one tonight if I go somewhere. :(

I'm pretty sure you guys know which one I'm talking about, but I'm going to look for a picture. :)

Please excuse my ignorance towards the subject of collecting cars, but what do you mean when you refer to a "g case" car? And I picked these up today:
