Latest addition to my collection:

Massive Envy. I'll never have one, and it's easily the best version there will ever be of this car.

Massive Envy. I'll never have one, and it's easily the best version there will ever be of this car.

Yeah, it was expensive to start with, then I think it's $80-ish now in the secondary market. I agree that this one would be hard to beat. I was impressed with the Super Treasure version before this one, but I do like shiny.

Most impressive. What is that from, the Shelby Collection?

That's cool. Better pickup the florescent pink stripe variation before they get too expensive.

Who is this man? He's always finding me & egging me on! Hey, aren't you the same guy who was tweeting to TLV earlier, egging them on about something else, too!?

On topic: No, I already have the bright pink stripe finish, one I prefer over the other.

But you were the one who suggested I do that in the first place!

Oh fair enough. Bright pink does look to be the better of the two anyway.

It looks like it's trying to turnaround before jumping to another time. lol

It sounds like it's trying to....

turn back time.

Yes, Shelby Collection.


Here's the last firetruck I didn't share any pics of. Coolest one of all:

Spoiler: Coolest part of it all

Spoiler: Wait there's more

Spoiler: Ah but it doesn't stop there

Spoiler: What?! There's still more to this ladder?!

Spoiler: HOW LONG IS THIS THING?!

Left a measuring device to show scale.

According to the measurement of the ladder, if the scale of this truck is correct, the IRL truck has a ladder length of roughly 58 meters.

That's bested by a Bronto Skylift HLA which has a working height of 112m.

Yep. Took me almost $50. And that's after spending about $120 elsewhere.

EDIT: Somewhat tree'd by a wild AOS.

Couple of recent additions:

More pics on my blog

But you were the one who suggested I do that in the first place!

That depends.

Tell you what, if TLV love the idea & release the car, I will take the credit for pushing you to do it. If TLV is annoyed by your tweet, you are on your own. I've never seen you before!

Oh fair enough. Bright pink does look to be the better of the two anyway.

I've seen couple of polls(Lamley & HWC), and bright pink do seem to be more common? I couldn't care less though. I like what I like. Unless the other pink's worth couple hundred bucks or something, you understand.

Yes. 👍

I actually remember this one from your display shot. Badass. 👍 On the ladder, if you are the firefighter who ends up on top of that thing, you are already fighting what must be a massive fire....... It must be pretty scary up there. It's still a ladder secured to a vehicle. Cool story(bro): One time, me & my coworker ended up in the warehouse & we were playing with the forklift. When he was dumb enough to get up on the fork, I lifted those forks as high as it went. He said the thing was moving & was getting pretty scared. Naturally, I stranded the mother trucker on that thing(it was so high) & just walked away. God, that was so funny.

P.S. Your reinventing of the spoiler tags were amazing, but if you do that again, I will slap you. j/k

That wlll happen this time of the year.

What I only bought in DaBoxtoys.

They have, like, a big box full of them.


Then I went to the Hung Hing store in Wan Chai district and grabbed these:

 

[a6m5]

I recognize the Carrerra GT. One of the first Kyoshos in my collection.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Whoops, I almost forgot to post these photos I took in Daboxtoys:

I spot with my little eye an Oversteer Mazda in that first picture (Axela/3 sedan? Or maybe it's an Atenza/6?), that's already a major plus for that shop in my view. It's one more than what can be found in Portugal, if anything...

Also, so many Hitch & Tow Greenlights... Are they bad selling cars, or did the shop just get a whole heap of them recently?

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

I found the Superbird Super Treasure Hunt today! This is our 11th Super this year, and they're all legit. All found in dump bins, displays or on the pegs.

What is your secret bro?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I found something better than a T hunt. Went to a hobby/comic store that was in Kalamazoo MI. They had two small isles of hot wheels, one had 90s cars that I buy from my local hobby shop the other had 2006-2010 cars which I bought 5
2008 Datsun 510, 2006 Chevy fleetline, 2010 92 mustang, 2008 88 Monte Carlo, and a 2008 69 chevelle they had a ton more but they were $2 a car.
Then at a Target where I got the error Ferrari on a 914 card I found these
There were a 2010 67 Pontiac firebird 400, 2011 Buick grand national, 2008 Camaro convertible and a new snowflake card Camaro concept.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

What is your secret bro?

Going to stores all the time haha. Like, four Wal Marts in one day sometimes. And a lot of luck.

It's mostly luck.

2008 Datsun 510, but they were $2 a car.

Luck was on your side today.

Darn. Back to finding them online for me then.

Wish I could help more!

Only one in the store too.

 

[a6m5]

That blue Bluebird/510 is a nice find. They used to go for close to ten bucks(no idea about today).

I once found black Bluebird at Walmart(also worth some money). It was in 2013, or '14. It had no idea being on the peg inside Walmart, but I was happy to see it.

 

[Johnny1996]

Most if not all of my 510s got uncarded. Of course, that was before I knew how valuable they ended up being. Now it's just my Vintage Racing series 510 that's on the card still, and for all I know the blister could be cracked. That's happened to me lots before.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Are we talking about 510s?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Thinking about opening my 510 and the other old cars I got today.

 

[Cano]

they're all legit.

Lies.

 

[a6m5]

My Vintage Racing 510/Bluebird is loose. So is my RLC. That BRE Dual-Autographed one is still carded, but that's the whole point.

Vintage Racing should be loose. It's such a beautiful car(paid $9 shipped for that one). Are you listening @Spacegoat ?

Lies.

Tell us what you really think my man.

 

[Cano]

Tell us what you really think my man.

He works at the docks and raids the boxes when they come in from Malasya.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

He works at the docks and raids the boxes when they come in from Malasya.

I wish. I'd have way more than 11!

 

[Johnny1996]

Vintage Racing should be loose

That ain't just a sin, that's a mortal sin.

 

[a6m5]

Maybe time for another hot wheel:

Go easy on me, Cano(answer is always 'no').

Let's all become $uper Treasure Hunt pirates. Any of you guys gotta boat?

That ain't just a sin, that's a mortal sin.

So.... You won't open it today? Maybe next week? I'm trying to help you man, you can trust me(don't check eBay prices).
