Really liking that 1967 Chevy C10 pickup truck on the bottom. Nice find there 👍....now you make me wanna make a Walmart run. Problem is, I'm broke right now and don't get my SSI check until next week. Damnit.

 

[Cano]

Yeah. And those "funds" you still haven't made a year ago.

Indeed. gotta get the wife into little cars instead of anime figures.

I'm currently looking for a Greenlight "Under The Hood" series 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge. The color it comes in is green. I've looked on eBay and Amazon and came up empty. This is currently #1 on my priority list so if anyone knows where I might find this piece, it would be greatly appreciated. I missed out on one on eBay a few weeks ago which went for around $20 and haven't seen one since.

I need that dang Escort!

 

[a6m5]

Me, too. I've been after that, white 180SX & Integra. No luck so far.

I just put up new Desert Island list, I hope you check it out. This time ten cars from French blogger Bertrand of the Sixty Four Ever. Wonderful guy, very passionate collector!

Love the M2 transporter and the CM's 205. The white TLV TownAce is something that I'm ashamed to say that I forgot how nice that one is. Great list! 👍

I had that M2 Ford/Mercury transporter on the initial list also. I'm still working on my list, trying to lose three more cars.

I can see why. That is one slick set. 👍

It's getting there!

Last few cars are definitely the hardest though.

Got these today at Walmart.

Batmobile was the only one left.

Had to get these two when I saw them.

Wow, really loving that Chevy II. Nice find on both of them. 👍

Ya, that was the last car I needed for the G case now I'm waiting for H cases to start hitting stores.

Pardon my ignorance , but whats G case and H case? I've never heard those terms before.

It's the last letter on the back of the card
(For the US only I think.) it looks like this
You look for the last letter on the right.
That's the case code that goes with the case
For example the J case
Will have a J where the G is.

Jackpot!

F-Toys makes it easier for you to discern the content of the blind box. Just look at the number on the top portion, it corresponds to the model. The only thing unknown to you is the color.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Ok, another ignorant question for you now. What's the significance, if any, behind those letters? Sorry for the dumb questions, but I have never really got into collecting Hot Wheels until now. Like I mentioned earlier in this thread, I only collected Johnny Lightnings and RCCA NASCAR cars when I started collecting the first time around so I am pretty much in the dark as far as Hot Wheels go. Again, sorry for the questions, but now you have me intrigued.

PS. I'll have to watch the video later as my speakers aren't working atm.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

It's just the code, I honestly don't know I just know the last letter is the one you need to look out for to see if it's new or not.

Ah, ok then. Just thought it might have been something special/important that I should be looking out for, as far as rarity or things like that go. Good to know though nonetheless...thanks for the education. 👍

 

[RCKakashi14]

So as mentioned in my previous post, I'll show you how to find out the content of an F-Toys blind box. The brand makes it easier for you to guess as compared to Kyosho wherein the box has not even a slightest hint of what it contains.

1. Look on top of the box.

2. The number you'll see corresponds to the model. So check the back for the lineup. In this case, it's number 3. So it must be the Diablo 6.0 as shown below.

As a result, the only guessing you'll ever do is the color of the said model.

Tomica releases for July. Premium 3000GT looks decent, would be interested in that if I could catch it but Tomica Premium always sell out so fast on AmiAmi. Everything is pretty meh.

The S2000 catches my eye. But the Civic Type R? Meh...

 

[Spacegoat]

Maybe it's the quality of that picture? But the wheels kind of ruin the S2000 for me.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

@RCKakashi14 I get it, it's like the "mystery" packs from hot wheels and matchbox.

F-Toys 1:64 - Lamborghini Diablo 6.0

Rear wheels have a comical offset. Rest looks good.

Not just that, the rear tire widths are also comically narrow.

Now that I look, yeah they're rather anorexic lol.
