You monster.

J/k.

I saved you so much money......



At first, I saw that $6.25 shipping for one car. I didn't realize the listing says that he can also ship it first class for $3.50. It doesn't matter now. I currently have four M2s on a open order from him. It may still grow.

@mustang fanatic, you need this in your life & you know it. Stupid high shipping scared me off it.

Sorry, I ended up buying it after all. I'm a loser.

Can't go wrong with a $2.50 M2.


Even if it's for the wheels.


So here's that odd Galaxie find of mine. Click for full-res.



One's a paint mishap, the other has got a darker chrome piece.

 

[Spacegoat]

Don't worry, I've been looking.

I wasn't worrying but good to hear. 👍

 

[Cano]

Same here.

I think I just need Kyosho F40 in red. Other than that, I have just several hundred more cars I need & I'm done, just like that.

Lol.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Today's acquisitions. I think the Auto Worlds are going to get a wheel swap. The cars are great, the wheels not so much.

 

[a6m5]

OK, while back I mentioned that I wanted to take a shot of Greenlight Flatbed with something cool riding on it. I hope you guys enjoy what I've come up with.

With M2 Auto-Projects beat-up, rusted, abandoned 1969 Plymouth Road Runner HEMI

For Mr. Dodge Viper @commodoreben , Hot Wheels 100% Dodge Viper GTS(AKA my favorite Viper)

I wasn't worrying but good to hear. 👍

Figure of speech! Figure of speech!

Lol.

I know, man of will power.....

I never see Auto World at Walmart near me. I once found one at Walmart out of town. Standard IROC Camaro on a beat up card. I gladly took it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Think I'm going to have to get that same Road Runner. I think that's one of M2's best castings.

Edit: Forget it. Only one on eBay and it's $18.

This is one of the two I scored at TRU for something like $2 or less(probably old stock).

Does it have to be one of these beat up ones? When I was buying some M2s on TTP tonight, I SO came close to buying this. Seller will ship first class($3.50). I just paid the invoice & he was able to ship four cars for $5. I was so pleased.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I already have that yellow one. Bought it with the semi truck to get it and the dark green Barracuda. Sold the truck to Cano.

I did find a couple more I might buy, put them on my watch list while I decide if I want to spend $30.

 

[a6m5]

OK, two cars I opened up this weekend:

Hot Wheels RLC Real Riders '67 Camaro



I used that technique I think @Dagger311 showed us in this thread?(worked real well 👍) I try to save these "windows" to keep the loose cars from bouncing around in storage cases.



Second one is that M2 1956 Ford F-100. 👍




The End.

Edit Bonus: Boulevard Series Gran Torino. I love this car.

Yeah, that was explained in the listing. Nice car. 👍

You remember when we used to be content with $1 cars? This hobby's getting too expensive for me.

Did some reading on HWC.com and most of the people there talking about the KDays event are expecting Q case with the Datsun super.

That is what I would expect too. The reason I wonder is the P cases are just hitting and we are less than two weeks away from Kdays. But if I were to predict, I would predict Q.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm hoping it is. My local store is on the participating store list, and thankfully I get back from a work trip the day before. Not sure how many people to expect, hopefully not very many.

 

[mustang fanatic]

@a6m5 That Camaro is shweet.

Also, that truck is awesome too...

And the Torino.

 

[Spacegoat]

Figure of speech! Figure of speech!

I was aware of that. Also the M2 Roadrunner was the perfect choice to put on the back of the flatbed. Nicely done. 👍

 

[a6m5]

Well, if the experienced collectors are betting on the Q-Cases, I may as well go. 👍 I keep forgetting that there are mainline Bluebird wagons, too. Awesome.

I agree, agree & agree with you! It took me forever to get that car, because I wanted it cheap, but then, it was weeks before I actually opened it. That paint job is amazing, even for Red Line Club.

I have another RLC car I chased forever & finally connected on. @R1600Turbo, you used to have this car. I should have it next week but I don't know if I can open this one.

Thanks broseph! 👍 My only worry is how the car has texture feel similar to actual soil. I don't know what they used, but considering how it came out of China, I'll probably get a hand cancer.

You and your RLC cars.

You and your RLC cars.

They are the bestest.

 

[mustang fanatic]

They are the bestest.

Oh stop rubbing it in.

 

[Spacegoat]

That's why you should totally send them to me. Oh and feel free to throw in a TLV or twelve as well, thanks.

Store shot for today:

That Initial D AE86 there costs 5000 Yen... and I didn't regret not buying it.



Oh how I miss Japan... I still have post-vacation blues.

Sweet Camaro, and until I buy a case, I try to do it every time. So far I've had three blisters fall off, but only because the cardboard was waterdamaged or weak.

Do I see a Veneno?

 

[RCKakashi14]

Do I see a Veneno?

Yes, and it costs 1000 Yen, 500 Yen cheaper than the white Countach I bought.



1000 Yen - 10 USD

 

[AOS-]

So did you guys hear about the leaked $TH AE86 Trueno?

It looks kinda cool...

But my sought after $TH (though not highly-sought*) still remains to be the 240Z and 599XX. What about you guys?




*I'd sooner drop $50+ on a rare E-Type, Land Cruiser or Defender 110S than I would on any $TH.

Much like the 510 I'll never get a chance to see one in store.

Bloody scalpers.

Can I have an extra basic 510 wagon?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I saw it before you guys.

Most of us won't see Supers in stores.

 

[yabiggoose]

I also include the mainline in that.
