But... it ain't 1:64 no more. I'd be all over IXOs if I didn't limit myself to 1:64s. I'd also be out of space in my house because I sure as hell ain't hanging more and more cars on the wall. 4 frames and 5 totes are more than enough.

@Cano, btw, good job. Didn't know you were aware of Welly. I was about to buy a V12 Vantage from the same seller but someone beat me to it. Would've made for a nice custom.
 
hmmm honestly, instead of paying 40 bucks for a TLV might aswell pay 10 or 20 extra and get a ebbro 1:43 CRX, which is immensely detailed.
I have seen them online before, but like Andy, I'm dead set on the "minicar" scale. Only 1/43 I've recently purchased was the F&F MkI Escort by Greenlight, but while I like the car & fan of the film, it's barely a "meh" for me. I like 1/18's, but they are too big & too costly for me. :dopey:
Anybody hear about Hot Wheels collaboration with Star Wars? :dopey:
This could be really great............. or really bad. :D
$40,000+, and it didn't even reach the reserve. :crazy:

Anyone know anything about these monstrosities?
 
If it were my box, I'd sell it for that. I bet his reserve was $50k.
I wonder if contents of that case actually is worth $40,000+, or the case actually still being factory sealed bumps up the value considerably. I wish that old school expert @Cano would chime in on this!

The Miata is from a play set, there's an orange one too.
Playset for blind kids.
Got this today at the "good" Dollar General:
Dollar Tree by me haven't sold Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars in awhile. Just cheap Maistos. :crazy:
 
Some finds from today

I found a Quik and Sik small wheel variation, the blue Bimmer with the rollcage (seems like it's the rarer one because all the other ones I see don't have it), the white Cougar, which I finally decided to get, and an interesting variation for the white BMW.

I found that one of the white BMWs had both front seats tilted. Probably nothing too special but cool nonetheless.

I have a few IXOs myself and their quality is pretty damn good for their price. Heck I've picked some of them up for $18. I really really want to get into 1:43, but at the same time I'm extremely afraid of it.

Come on dude, I've posted a looooooot of Wellys over the years in this thread! Some of them even pull-back powered. The wheels alone on that one were dead-giveaways.

There is no way in hell there are 40k+ in that box. It's just hype. The two really rare models in that case, going by what the box says, are the Bye-focal and the Mutt Mobile, followed by the Evil Weevil. Those could reach about 2,500 carded, in perfect condition, and in a good day, woith all the planets aligned lol. We're talking surprising top-dollar price, I'd be alarmed even, if I saw a Bye-Focal reach 2,000 bucks. Maybe a pink one. All others range from more or less to pretty damn common. Heck some of those won't even reach $300 carded.
 
Well, I wasn't aware you were well aware of Welly. :P Try saying that 5 times fast.

@R1600Turbo, That is hella good news! I'll be sure to keep an eye out for it.



The $TH Wagon that is. :P j/k Glad the box is coming back. I just lost $12 from that. :(






Just won myself a badass Land Rover. And this came in too:

Shelby+Cobra+427+(1997+Target+Motorin'+Music+Set).jpg

1997 Target Motorin' Music Set.

It really is a set. 4 cars on a turntable. eBay had one for $30. No one bought that for the longest time, me included. Instead I bought the listing that had just the Cobra on TTP, which I let sit for a couple of years. No one bought it still. So I finally decided to take it. What's cute about this guy is that other than the differently-coloured interior and exhaust pipes, it's got clone recolours:

It'd be funny if the 2002 Ultimate Service Center looks like it too.

It says 96 cars inside though. If you combine the value of each individual cars + the fact that you get to open this time capsule of a sealed case, sounds like $40,000 very well could be legit.
Awesome :drool:, I'll never see one but awesome none the less.
I generally pass on the Super TH, but this one I may have to buy online. $$$ :crazy:
 
Here's one that you wouldn't have seen coming:

Hydroplane+(1996+Computer+Cars).jpg

1996 Hot Wheels Computer Cars - Hydroplane

And for the really cool one:

Hydroplane+(2000+Hot+Wheels+Racing+%232).jpg

2000 Hot Wheels Racing - Hydroplane #2 Team Hot Wheels - Kyle Petty


I didn't care for the red, but the seller was selling both in one listing and I only wanted the blue one really.
