Kit Kringle? Hmm, I'll look them up online then, thanks for the info 👍. And I just wanted your state and city nothing else, but I do understand where you're coming from. But I'll check and see if they have stores in my state I hope.

Not sure if it is on any websites since this is a local toy store where I live. As a matter of fact, I went back in there today and I saw that black Benz like what you mentioned earlier and it had a few decals and a number on the side. I hate that you have to miss out on all this.:indiff: They had 2 express lanes left there.

Welcome to GTPlanet. :cheers:
Nardo is one of my favorite cars - in GT5 - I have one from MB in my collection, too. Have to take a closer look at the model you have. 👍

Well, guys, big score finally, big, big score - grabbed 57 cars yesterday while the family was shopping for school supplies:
Got the Continental, Focus, Vipers, WRX, Evo, lots of 'vettes (including the convertible K-9,) lots of various Beetles, Furais, Mad Manga, GTO cop car, Z4s, Civic, Twin Mill III, various muscle cars including the new Superbird, some new Ferraris, Mystery Machine, two Bats, the white BMW 2002, various HW livery models, a bunch of trucks including another Camino for my collection (orange Shark Patrol) and many others.
I really liked the look of the Dodge Charger Drift - but wheels need customising. 2013 Viper SRT looks very nice (2012 Premier) and '10 Super Snake looks hot enough for HWs, and so does the All Stars California.
Dioramas, here I come. :lol:

All is not lost, Daz - that's one of the reasons we gather here from all over the world - to connect and help each other out. I'm sure if you're willing to fork out postage and the price of the car, anyone here would be only too willing to send you what you can't get there. PM whenever you see something you would like to own. :)

Cheers for the offer of helping me find stuff i can't get over here Harry. 👍
I greatly appreciate it, though at the moment, i guess i have more important priorities than adding to my collection unfortunately.
Though, when i do find the spare funds to be able to get the stuff i can't over here, and can justify the 'want' over the 'need' i'll be sure to send a PM.

Haha, Daz, tell me about it - if only they were as efficient as Gran Turismo's GT Auto! In and out - everything done in seconds, and all they have is a clipboard, and some cabinets.
Dioramas - and the photography of such - is a passion with me - so I'm hoping to make some time soon to post illustrations, and how=to-notes soon; you may be surprised how little effort it takes (though much imagination is needed) to turn an old shoebox into a Car Dealership.
Click to expand...
I look forward to your notes and illustrations Harry. I'd really like to have a go at doing a dealership (maybe a bit too ambitious) or garage at some point, so would appreciate any tips or pointers you could give me. 👍
PS. GT Auto!.. yes, if only :lol:
 
Holy cardbacks! How many do you have?

I never save mine, just toss them into the trash. I may start saving them to make something artsy. :P
 
A tad too busy to post pictures, but I went out for a hunt today. Absolutely nothing new for mainlines... And yet there's new boulevards!! Picked up the Vector Twin Turbo (ever since GT2, I always wanted a representation of it) and two A-Team vans. Along with the Tomica Z34 roadster. :D. And pics will come.

It's alright Sony. I'll find one of the Benzes and the other 90's and 2000 HW cars one day again.

BTW, nice cars too. 👍

Welcome to GTPlanet and the scale collectors threads!!!! :gtpflag:

I remember you saying you had 300 or more HW and MB cars on the scale model cars thread yesterday. I can't wait to see them. :D
 
Just spent a day in Melbourne with the grand parents and found a clearance toy store. I got some M2's, Ertl's and a couple of Muscles Machines for less than half what they normally cost down here. I hope to get pics up during the week. Also check out the scale model thread. Im hoping to get pics of my 3 Gran Turismo Stealth cars up this week and the did you see anything good today event thread as I went to a car musuem over the weekend aswell.

Thank you! Surprised i ain't getting more comments on them.:indiff: Yea keep looking and maybe you will find that Benz your looking for. Ocasionally i even find old ones like this at Wal Mart.:drool: but in my 8 years of collecting, it has only happened a handful of times for me, but do keep your eyes open.;)
 
Some rather poor quality pictures of my purchases.

Walmart:

Gave a Vector and A-Team van to my brother so he'd have something to put on his desk at his apartment.
 
Let's just say that stack tripled in size. I'll have some cars listed on eBay this week and the only cars I kept in the package are all my HTF errors & variations. Pics to come when I get to a real computer.

Only collecting castings I really like now and HTF errors & variations.
 
Was just funning you, Jason. :) Hell, man. if you don't open some packages we'll never get to see those awesome custons you do.

Here's the score I was talking about:

Found the Monster Duos yesterday I was looking for for some time now:

Ok, I will keep them peeled wide open! 👍

@Medigo: OMG!!!! Dem Vectors V8TT :drool:! I gotta find them ASAP!

@Photon: Jackpot it is! Now that's alot right there. But that group will never beat the scores I got in San Diego though, almost 60 cars. BWHAHAHA!!!! :mischievous::lol:
 
I think that Monster Duo Batman combo has the Batmobile I want. Is that a current product? Also, nice Vector. 👍 I wish it came in black, but red still looks good!

My purchases:

IMG_0977.jpg




Been liking the Twin Mill lately for some reason. Boulevard has a nice one, except they screwed up the headlights so bad, I couldn't bring myself to buy it. M2 F-100 is a tow truck with a plow. Saw it at Walmart, had to have it. :D
 
The cars I have purchased over the last couple of weeks.

Now are the cars I got on my trip down to Melbourne. These cars came from a regular department store. I got a Aventador and Lil Red Express Pickup to open, the 4 Harley’s are to be used for trades at the local market and I had to get another Ken Block Fiesta and Stingray Concept.

A Ertl Seattle Seahawks Dodge Viper


P9030298 by commodoreben, on Flickr

The clearance store also had these two lose cars floating around. They are a Hotwheels Ford Escort Rally and a Real Toy BMW 6 series
 
Wow. Nice picks as usual. 👍 Especially love the top set + Fifty5 Datsun pickup. You don't see that everyday!
 
Since Photobucket is being a huge prick right now, my Photos folders on GTP will have to do. So here's the recent purchase from this weekend:

What is this M2 stuff people are buying here? Never heard of them until now, which is absurd - They look real good!

It's a whole another brand. I like them a lot, but they can be spendy. Two that I have I really like, they were $5.88 each from Walmart. Still, I had to get them. :dopey:

Here's my favorite I posted awhile back:

Cool. I doubt ours has them though.

Also; I FINALLY found the Then & Now Monster Jam Hot Wheels. I'll get a video of them probably, they had 3 sets & I bought them all. :D
