Gaaaaah it was a joke!

But seriously though, photos look 80 times nicer if you photograph them on a large white sheet of paper or something with a smooth clean surface. Looks nicer than taking it on the carpet beside your shoes :lol:

I'm waiting for someone to complain about them wanting me to get a closeup on a car they wanted

and the camera is bad, it looks like a professional camera, but is crap
my good one is missing it's battery
 
Black Friday today. Last thing I expected to find were Hot Wheels.

Not even close to a Treasure Hunt you or I desire(I'd rather have the A-Team Van!), but I found it. :lol: First Treasure Hunt I've ever seen, and I even put the thing back at first since the green color tab didn't even register in my head!

As for the Green Lantern Challenger, I literally saw about six of them. None of them had painted headlights. :grumpy:

'Gratz on the T-Hunt! :cheers: I still have yet to see one, but my day will come...maybe :D

lol I saw one with painted headlights and left it there because I thought it was a regular variation for the car since it's special
 
I'd trade the Treasure Hunt for the painted headlight Challenger...... actually, if I could have just one of the two, I'd take the normal, standard Challenger over this Treasure Hunt. :P

I was the first one to get to this untouched one-sided display in the store. It was Black Friday, and this place nobody visits, line was very short(only line I did all-morning), so I joined in. While everybody's running for Blu-rays, electronics, etc. I was checking out Hot Wheels, ammunition, then sleeping bags...... :odd: *ahem* The point is....... if it's this hard to score a Treasure Hunt, chances are, I'll never see one again. :crazy:

P.S. Thank you! :D:tup:
 
I found a Green Lantern Challenger with the painted headlights a few days ago. The store had dozens of regular Challenger's and at the back of the peg I found one with painted headlights. I'll post photos sometime this week
 
Awesome grabs, NISM0_SKYLINE!

Same goes for commodoreben. I traded an arm and a leg for one, you lucky bastard! :mad:

YEAAAHHH! I'm excited for you. :D And I actually like the El Camino hunt.


And speaking of T-Hunts, I found these two at Big Lots today. I really didn't expect to find anything good there, as it's the day after Black Friday, but I guess I lucked out.

Would you guys believe me if I told you I stepped in Zellers today, and found a HUGE number of Subaru Imprezas, Aston Martin One-77s, Corvette Stingray Concept (both versions) and GT40s?

Dude, you can't really justify that at all in any legal-based arguments. Walking out of a store without paying for it spells trouble... for someone. If it's not you, it's the employee or any other staff member.

The only way I can see it being justified is if the staff are instructed to dispose of damaged merchandise like how it's done where I work, but even then that rule got written out. Now even the employees aren't permitted to pocket damaged merchandise from the store.
 
hmm anyway I got to open a decades box there and found two errors, and I couldn't get them because we're too close to christmas
