My 6 treasure hunts.

Matchbox. Coming to a post near you.


Lotus%2BEvora%2B(2011%2BModern%2BRides).jpg

2011 Modern Rides. I blacklisted the Evora, but isotope green is the signature colour of modern Lotus cars for me. I'd pick this over yellow on any applicable Lotus anyday. Exception granted.

Dune%2BDog%2B(2014%2BMission%2BForce%2BJungle%2BSet).jpg

2014 Mission Force: Jungle.
Damn offroad cute looking things.

Bentley%2BContinental%2BGT%2B(2009%2BBest%2Bof%2BBritish).jpg

2009 Best of British. It's not the dark metalflake blue that's more accessible.

Don't know how luck came around, but I even secured the Superfast dark green recently. Goofball watchers sat on it. Snagging it immediately, the collection is completed! Hurray!
 
Heads up: If the Dollar General I'm in right now has any indication, DG stores are starting to get these:

I found one $TH (Twin Mill) and one MB Land Rover Defender 110.
 
I thought Dollar General was a dollar store(we don't have them where I live). That electric skillet is not a dollar(or I'm moving there lol).
How were you able to get an actual picture of the kid's reaction right after Cano ran away with it?
Sometimes...... I suspect that Google search engine is ran by some supernatural force. They even know how celebrities look naked. Don't ask me how they know, they just do!

It's more of a discount store.

Dollar General and Family Dollar, despite the 'Dollar' in their names, are not dollar stores.

Those shippers have been hitting all week. I missed out on one store near me, the other hasn't put theirs out yet.

Also, check AutoZone stores too, they are getting new shipments. I actually found one of the F-150's I was looking for in one today but left it behind since Andy is sending me one.
 
John posts a picture of a HW display and a6's immediate reaction is to price check the electric skillet next to it.

Magic or something.


Edit: Forgot to mention that I ordered a Kyosho Nurburging 24hr Toyota 86 from Japan Booster last night. Thought I better grab one before I forget about it, again. Also, I was bored lol.

I don't have Dollar General by me, so I had to find something else interesting about the intel photo. :lol:

Goody. Looking forward to the pics!

Mustang 5-pack, staying prisoned packaged

Ram, Caterham, $TH, Defender, Mystery (STD says the Mystery is a Corvette Grand Sport)

IMG_20141123_153533.jpg

Ranchero that I was going to respray today with the unseasonably warm weather, but its too breezy to do so

Is the MB Defender rare or something?

Oh, and I got all the HW Christmas cars for .60 each at Wally.

Anyone know if M2 still sells this series (Auto Projects) in stores these days?

IMG_20141123_185621.jpg

Hey! Last time I ever do something nice for you and anyway I don't see the problem. :dopey: :lol: Congrats on the Twin Mill and the Matchbox Discovery is a nice find too. 👍
:lol:

Thanks. That's now my second Twin Mill $TH (How!? :eek:), but the Defender, that literally came out of no where; it had actually fell off a peg I had yet to check. :boggled:

My best guess is that my jacket I was wearing knocked it down and I didn't feel it. :indiff:

I got mine from Toys R Us, probably 3, 4 months ago now, but even then, it was a very random find. They were $1-something by then(probably $5~$6 originally), which tells me that they were really old clearance price.

Well then, that tells me that sites like eBay are my best chance and hope. :grumpy:
 
Come find me Johnny......



:P
Seriously though. One of the best M2s I own.
If that was anything but a Road Runner like I have, I'd be... well, I actually don't know what I'd be doing. :lol:

And let me guess, that flatbed is the Greenlight International Durastar? :guilty:
