Guys, guys...... Take it from the native Engrish speaker. It's jam & gelly(pronounced: 'jamu' & 'zelly'

JAMUUUUU Sick Grand Nat.

I gotta get this for my dad.

$15 on the net.

Strawberry jam is lovely on toast.

Oh and cool Grand National @a6m5. 👍

Jell-O is a brand name of jelly.
What the yanks call jelly, everywhere else calls jam.

I thought Jell-O was a brand of gelatin.

Also, @a6m5, as per your post, as always. Great stuff.

I've only seen one so far. I own it.

Gelatin is a main component of jelly, yes.

 

[Ameer67]

Gelatin isn't the main components of Hot Wheels, are they!?!?!?!

*Goes crazy. Needs more Hot Wheels.*

 

[Ken]

Gelatin is a main component of jelly, yes.

But Jell-O advertises itself as a gelatin product, not jelly. Jell-O comes as a powder and comes from animal products. Jelly is mashed fruit and comes in mashed fruit style.

Hot Wheels do not come in either powder nor mashed fruit.

Same for me. Hopefully I'll get some at my store when d cases come.

Coming soon, Hot Wheels gelatin racers, comes in red, yellow, green and that weird blue colour.

Jell-O is a brand of gelatin dessert.

There is a difference in jam and jelly. Jam is made with the whole fruit, while jelly is made with only the juice. There is also preserves which is almost the same as jam but I'm not sure on the difference.

The Hot Wheels aisle at my Walmart has been a ghost town for the last few weeks. They had only few Hot Wheels and I think there were 3 or 4 Matchbox cars and that was about it.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Ask if they have any cases in the back.

 

[yabiggoose]

Cases of jelly or jam?

Cataloging my Hot Wheels collection at the moment, will make a folder on Flickr when I'm done.

I'm interested in your method. Will you please share when you're done?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Wish I knew how to make an app. Tons of people looking for something to catalog their cars, it needs to be done.

It truly does. But I know jack and 🤬 about making it happen.

 

[yabiggoose]

It's more I'm moving them from shoeboxes into big plastic storage containers lol.

And taking photos (on my iPod lolololololo) of every four cars.

Here's one of my favourites so far:

Been redoing the layout numerous times the past year. Not to imply a blog is the way to go, but if you ever want to dabble into web design without having to cover all the coding for core structure, a blog can be handy. Blogger uses Google Picasa to store your images, so I've covered the catalog and file backup in one go. Picasa doesn't impose a limit to how many you can view unlike flickr and imgur (for free accounts).

 

[CodeRedR51]

Eh, I could make a better one.

Flickr doesn't either. That's what we use for Custom Diecast México. 2tb of free space for free is unbeatable.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I was using Flickr for my site as well, which it's pretty much out of date now.

With all the goobye'ing you've done you could actually call it a day with it indeed. You sold what? 80 percent of what was there?

Does Flickr no longer do the "we'll keep your files, but you will only be able to view the 250 most recently uploaded images" thing? This restriction from my understanding prevents you from gaining access to the image URL if you ever needed it again.

Nah, not anymore. It's been a real while since it doesn't do that.

Pretty much, except for a few like the Datsun Bluebird Wagons, Datsun 620's, Infiniti G37's, R34 GT-R, Nissan Titan's, etc that either nobody wants or keeps lowballing me on.

 

[Ferraridriver27]

So, walking through an unsuspecting shop I found this (guess for how much?):

And bought this one out of, uhmmm, Curiosity (badum tsss)

 

[AOS-]

$3. If actual price paid > $5 then

"you paid a collector price".

End If




Okay, how much did you get it for?

 

[Ferraridriver27]

2.25 €. It was at 2.99 but had a 25% discount on it.

 

[AOS-]

Nice. That will snatch you at least $20 if you leave it carded and give it an active audience.
