And the Truck series Ranchero.
 
I started collecting in around late 2011. I'm a casual kinda dood, I'll get one once in a while when I can. Call me boring, the ones I am usually attracted to are the ones that are based on real cars. Normally I have these organized by the date I bought them but they've been sitting around in a box. Hope I don't jack them up by doing that. I'd love to get some of those plastic cases sometime to further protect them. Here's an archive of all the models I have so far. Make sure to close the gap between the ". com", I tried to just post the link but it ended up putting the entire list in the reply and aint nobody got time for that.

INSUFFICIENT CARS

CARS REQUIRED TO BE SUFFICIENT: ∞

Either way, nice collection!
 
Found deals on these online, so I didn't wait to see if I could find one locally:

Auto World Ford Galaxie(new tooling)
How did I forget that beauty!? Christ, I need to step up my game when it comes to 1/64 wagons. I mentioned GL when it came to my Roadmaster dreams, but good ol'Auto World wouldn't do a bad job either if the Kingswood is anything to go by. And since people believe that GL is losing their mojo due to quality inconsistencies, perhaps it's best that AW overtakes GL on a possible (and affordable) small Roadmaster scale model...?
Yeah, I'd say Auto World would be more capable.
And thank God for that, I'm sure I'll enjoy your posts on either of those Broncos. If the casting hasn't lost a step in terms of quality, do you really want to lose it...?
Some are good, some are just tiring to look at.
2016 Daredevils Toyota Off-Road Truck
I want that one. I had two opportunities so far, but fell thru both times for various reasons. I like the color, it happens to be a casting I like, and I recently discovered that it's the Champ on downhill race track(no joke).
 
How much do they retail for over there?

My workplace sells them for £1.30 along with the Hot Wheels. Majorette's basic line are a pound. I get 10% discount. Prices are similar at Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's, too.

My local Asda had finally got new Hot Wheels for the first time in about a month, but I didn't buy any as I was off to Bristol this weekend with my wife. We popped into a large Asda branch there and they were wiped out of HW, typically. They did have the Matchbox Land Rover range, though, so I got the Freelander. I'll pop back into my local branch on Tuesday and see what I can find. Hopefully the MX5.

It was $24.99 + $7.95 shipping(one car limit), and it still sold out. Nuts.

I NEED that Galaxie.
It's so much cooler than the original Galaxie casting. 👍

That's not as bad as I thought. Some of the guys in here from overseas seems to be paying a lot, especially for premium lines.

Matchbox Land Rover series is something I hope to see in my area soon. Only one store in my area carries similar series, and they are still restocking the same old Jeep series. :(
 
I have the Black Bandits one. It's the naked version of this.

Also, someone offered $250 for all my Shelby Cobras. Hoot.
 
Anyone know where I can get some replacement Red Line wheels? One of my cars has a damaged wheel and I have no idea where to get some.
 
Got case of these cars in the mail today.

Opened just 240ZG so far(purple). Looking forward to the RX-3.

Edit: Weird. Jarrod was just asking me about the red Celica on the cover.... But according to this, Celica is *gasp* orange. I want red Celica, not orange!!! :(

Edit2: See the red Celica on the cover(on the right, above this 240ZG).

Is that one of those "secret" cars or something? Orange Celica could be epic cool, or total disaster!

False advertising! :lol:

The 240 is all kinds of cool. 👍 I vote for either one of the Celica's or RX-3's to be opened next. Thanks. :D

Blind box. :crazy:

Someone on Facebook asked if I'd seen the secret model? I can't wait to see if I'll find a chase. Kind of exciting!
