[Robin]

Those gold wheels look pretty funky, the Impala looks great. Looking forward to the new models but seeing as I only got 2 TH's this year I'm not holding out for any next year what with them being even harder to find.

Robin.

I want that sexy & really boxy 240Z!

Whoa, I didn't even notice!

2011 BMW M3 GTR

Agreed. I like the silver with normal (ish) wheels version of the DBS from this year better. But I'll probably still buy it anyway, because who could turn down a DBS?

I mean, you know, 510 is pretty close to 240...💡

I would. I would get it if it had different wheels.

I'm going to try and go shopping tomorrow and grab some stuff. We'll see...

 

[Cano]

OH GOT DAMN I NEED THIS

EDIT:

And this is a great starting point for a custom, just swap the wheels, detail a bit and erase some tampos, and off you go.

 

[SVX]

I believe R1600Turbo did that with the previous year's 510 Bluebird?

 

[Cano]

If I recall correctly, he repainted it completely? I don't remember well. My point is that it does look like a race car, you just need to loose the wheels and some tampos, and add detailing, and you're set.

Do want.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'll buy the M3 GT-R, everything else .

Those new wheels they are using are hideous.

 

[Jetboy.]

That GTX is pure sex.

 

[Apok]

I'm not really liking the M3 GTR. It just looks like a toy to me for some reason.

 

[Prince.M5]

2011 BMW M3 GTR

Nice addition but it just doesn't look right... I'll try to get it though.

 

[J-PaP]

I'd rather the M3 had some tampos on the headlights/tail lights and ditched the livery. Some nice cars coming in. I read someone had already gotten the datto 510 and a few other 2012 cars so I doubt the m3 is far behind. I got a few more cars this week. Some old and new.

HOLLY CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP WITH THE YELLOW REAL RIDER!!!! IN FRENCH CARD!!!

Also the red stocker also in french card!!!

wow.

WTF??? Where did you get those cars? They are amazing!!! Super SUPER grabs, dude. Big time.

 

[Wyvern_64]

You guys have convinced me to go out and get a few. I already have a Porsche Carrera GT but that's it. What are some things I should look for that make a car special or rare? Anything other than the Treasure Hunts? Mostly I'll be looking for my favorite models but I don't want to pass up a good one.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

You've got Wyvern in your name...Awesome! My two cents is to grab what you like to start. If the passion ever fades you're still left with things you like to view on the shelf.


PS: Just back from the Flea Market. Scored Stompers, some nice UHs, a real rider, Kidco Co Magnum PI car, several nice blue/white cards including two of the Huffman Racing stockers, 7 Tatoo machines on card, a Tootsie Datsun on card and a Frightning Lightning Ecto ON CARD. (Only $5!!!) Will have pics this evening

Last 2 weeks finds have all been from the same person. He is clearing out all his HW's and sticking to lesneys. I got the cars last week at an absolute steal but this time he had checked southtexas diecast so he knew what everything he was selling was worth. He is still generally asking a lot less than what they are valued at though so got this lot at a reasonable price. I'm going to have to go back and grab one more car I spoke to you about last time.

 

[Pgani]

Wait. There's a discusion thread about Hot Wheels? Cool.

[diabolicwyvern]

Pictures of my Flea Market haul this past weekend. I normally like to have a decent looking post with headings and what not, but I'm facing random bouts of laziness.

Yellow car top left is a Tootsie Toy on card. Camaro is International Card. (Canada) I'm looking up info on the Matchbox Key car. It was $2 and I'd not seen one before. Oh and of course the Tattoo machines. They were $2/piece.

Gold Car is a Kidco Magnum PI car. Ford Delivery was 5-pk only. HW put out two Ford 5-pks that year and this was the swap car that wasnt in the other. Lesney Racing Mini was $1. Its not mint, but its very displayable. (Though I currently dont display any Lesney)

This was an eBay win. Cost me $4 and change.

This was $5

What if I said that that was a bootleg you just bought?
