Other than the blue interior (Blue!?!) I like that a lot

Must try find one

I agree, they could of chose a more fitting colour. Black, Tan, or maybe dark red would have suited it better.

I think black. If it was painted black I'd say tan, and white would be the red 👍

It isn't easy finding one though, and I'm finding a bunch of other stuff I can't afford to buy

 

[AOS-]

That is a mysterious one. It did go in your favor though, right?

I don't know for sure. Their [eBay] policy is that they won't make a conviction until there's been enough similar incidence with that buyer. An understandably safer route, but I speculate staff may forget "overlook" this case if buyer doesn't come around buying stuff again for another year and causing trouble.

Fragile mirrors, and a lamp ready to pop off its socket.

If it weren't for the sentimental value (my mom found it buried in a box of my old belongings last year, and put it to one side), i'd be taking the rivets off and spraying the interior black.

What batch of Hot Wheels are sold at Target and Wal Mart? I have a day off so if I can I might go check out those places.

I can forgive the blue on yours then 👍

Most walmart stores are on E case. Target, no idea. Mine I think is still stuck on C.

2014 M case LOL. I'm almost at the point of declaring quits with HW too.

Cases vary with stores, @Avalonbug.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Gonna be purchasing these shortly:

If anyone from Tomytec is reading this, I'll have the MR2 in red. Thanks.

Just like that 1/43 MR2. Just like it.

Gonna be purchasing these shortly:

That link I provided the other day for the Toy Show one, they had the Army Jeeps as well, but I passed. You still haven't gotten one, even with the Army lot?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just saw the Army ones today. Still unsure on the Toy Fair version.

 

[AOS-]

Didn't take pics of the restored Land Rover until now. I'm hesitant with finding the wheel variations on the white ones (and any of the toy fairs versions).

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Found the D case TH at a Target.

Then went to a Wallmart and finally found the police Mustang.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Finally found the P1! And only one... Also got the Viper and Bentley.

Also...found the ONLY Hobby Lobby in the state. (Which is about an hour away) They have more recent Greenlights (and STOCKED!) than Toys R Us. Ugh, so much better stuff there...

Signed up to AmiAmi and pre-ordered the MK3 Supra, Century, Townace woodie, and Nismo GT-R.

Just like that 1/43 MR2. Just like it.

Only in 1/64 scale.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I really want this, but the only one on eBay is $30.

 

[Johnny1996]

Just got one of these for a customs project.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I really want this, but the only one on eBay is $30.

Seller also had the white one with blue stripes, worked out a $30 deal for both. Somewhat satisfied.

Is this the Hot Wheels and Matchbox Collectors' thread? Yes? Yeah? Leave these here?

​

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Yeah, I went to Walmart again, because there were some cars in the one in my town that I wanted to purchase. Here they are.

One thing that does annoy me, there was a 2015 Mustang GT there the last time I went and I didn't grab it. It's now gone, you live and learn. For me, this is something I should have already known.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Went to Wally to get some food and swung by the toy section. They got the Star Wars character cars 2-packs, picked up the Chewbaca & Han-Solo set but the C3PO and R2-D2 sets were gone. Probably because the C3PO is based off the VW Drag Bus so every hoarder and their mother thinks they needs to take them all.

 

[AOS-]

Walmart had 3 Black Bandit Greenlights today.

[No pic attached]

Guess which one I bought.

Jeep Wrangler
Ford F-150
AMC Javelin

I didn't grab a Mustang, and now it's gone.

Live and learn. For me, this is something I should have already known.

That mentality is exactly how I have an accumulated total of over $100 for "paying too much" on certain items, because I feared I wouldn't get them again. Not saying that's going to happen to you, but it's probably worth keeping that in mind.

 

[a6m5]

Ordered three vehicles today:

As you'd expect, some bidding war on the Bluebird Estate. I had the first & the last bid($62). I never paid attention to the second Bluebird(brown sedan) before, but it caught my eye while I was looking for another TLV to qualify for free shipping. Very cool.

Also another M2 Projects(rusted), '57 Chevy this time. No, not $1 & change for it this time.

Only in 1/64 scale.

Come on! SRSLY!

I did not know that. @#$%&^*

Hot Wheels Ice Cream Truck's one of my guilty pleasures. Love them. 👍

Ford F-150

They had F-150? I'm gonna have to look this up. Edit: Ram?

oh, don't worry; I won't do anything like that. I mean, it's something I'll only do if it's just really cheap like a hotwheels car. If it's something worth $100, I'll probably won't try to buy it right away.

 

[a6m5]

This must be the first Star Wars car I actually liked. I guess the R2D2 that comes in the set also has the weathered-look. If I run into one, I'd buy it, but as Jason said, probably a long shot.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Was just replying to your last post, and yeah....doubt I'll find it either.

Oh god that this is hideous!

I'm probably gonna skip the whole set.

 

[a6m5]

I don't like the set enough, nor am I a big enough Star Wars fan to buy it online.

Oh god that this is hideous!

It's an acquired taste.

Edit: Ram?

That's probably it. It was a loooong truck. But I guess that gives away what isn't the answer.

"Accumulated total" on certain items....this accumulation included many cheap cars like Hot Wheels.

"Don't worry it's only a dollar" is how a lot of my customers at the dollar store rack up bills of over $70. Often times I noticed the impact of overspending on inexpensive items don't hit us until we start excusing ourselves.

Beware!
