I agree with you on that. The mainlines that sealed off the hinge looked better.
pity about the removable front on the Buick, doesn't look right attached at all. :crazy: Pity because it's a cool looking model.
If I drove around like that, I'm pretty sure they'd pull me over. That's if I don't rear end another car first. :P
Only discovered that show a little while ago, so good.
I can't wait for Netflix to get a hold of it. Can't wait to watch a few episodes. :D

OK, here's the Circuit Wolf Kyosho versus Matchbox Lotus Europa 1/64:

Matchbox



Well done considering the $1 price tag. 👍

Kyosho Circuit no Ookami




Looks great considering the $6 price tag(and copyright!). 👍 If you look closely, you'll see stars painted inside the red stripe. The driver of this car was a street racer, and for every race he won, he added a star on his car.

Side by side:


 
A Lotus Europa with a wing?

I really do like the car, I'm just kinda :odd: on the wing.
 
I'm looking to get rid of my Europas. Wanna take them off me?
Thanks, but I've been trying to shrink my collection. Only Europa I'd consider adding to my collection at this point is that Tomica Circuit Wolf. I also just remembered that I have that purple MBX/Lesney Europa, too. Forgot all about it.

It's true to the (really old)comic book:

Speaking of comic books,
You ever read capeta or wangan midnight?
 
Just comic books?

Come on, man.........

:P

On that car, me personally, I've never liked the wing,the rims or the cut away roof. Come on JDM here, distroying a classic with bling paint and wheels. Needs the hardtop for starters. Just my opinion.
 
@Daniel008 Two old, two new?

I forgot to post this.

Hot Wheels DC Universe Wonder Woman


I rarely buy fantasy cars. I got momentarily weak.
Okay fine. Movies too. :lol:
How about real cars then!?

No? OK. Still, we all wish our cars had slanted license plate. If that's not style, I don't know what is. *fixes short shorts*

It was just a movie. Thankfully, not many people had Fast and Furious style cars in real life.

You know, when I lived in Phoenix I would hit all the local Walmarts really late at night on the weekends. Since I have lived in the town I am in now, I haven't done it even once with the local store. I've been here 6 months. Got a wild hair tonight and decided to go at 10:30. Walked back to toys, saw the pallets with boxes in the isle. Glanced at them as I walked by, then went down the diecast isle. (nothing new) Glanced at the current full dump bin of old cars and then walked towards the bicycles. As I walked back to the main isle, right before me stood a dump bin sized box on a pallet.

My heart dropped to my stomach.

Then I walked closer and looked at the sticker on it.....Barbie.

Damn. :(
 
Thanks J-Dawg. 👍
I wish you better luck next time, but I don't miss it. :lol:

Next time, walk over to the sporting goods. See if you can find boxes of .22 long rifle ammo. You can double your money on that stuff, fund your hot wheels kick. :D

Profit or not, I'm not a fan of guns.
 
Very glad everyone's been able to find the green Kenmeri Skylines. Props to Mattel on that. 👍

You don't have to shoot it. In fact, you are driving up prices for people who wants to shoot. I'm just kidding bro.
 
I haven't. I bought mine online. We've been on L Cases since the beginning of this month. HWs don't sell very fast here. We need more housewives and grannies to keep taking their kids/grandkids to Walmart to empty out the peg warmers and bin fillers.
 
@Cano Need your decision on the exclusive color cars so I can get everything ready for sale. Just going to put them back in the boxes and start the bidding at $15.
 
@italian06 - Welcome to the thread!

Sorry to hear that. In my neck of the woods, maybe not right away, but they arrived fairly promptly, and they seem abundant. Unlike the red Minis, which weren't all that common, green Minis are everywhere as well. Same with the Bimmer & Fiat Yabi picked up. Good news for car fans & hot wheel collectors. 👍 Again, I think they heard my idea when I said they should increase production of coveted castings & make THs crap, but rare crap. :D
Got a Defender 110. Used my discount card which I got yesterday and it was 92 cents instead of 97.
That's it, huh? I thought they'd give you little bit more. :crazy:
