Well that's awesome, and sucks at the same time. I really wanted to use those wheels and it's already out of the packaging, wish I had known about this earlier.

I find it funny that I had you check to make sure it wasn't a Treasure Hunt and it actually was. :lol: What are the odds of that? I've got one that is not only a Treasure Hunt, but it's also an error so I guess it's super rare. :dopey:
 
I went to the K-Mart collector's day on Saturday. Got my number called to get my own box to go through. I'll post a picture tonight of what I got. (Treasure Hunt and a few others)

I went to one of these when I was younger with my dad and loved it. :D Too bad he limited me to just 6 cars, since the money was coming out of his pocket. :D
 
Hmmm... Owkey let's go on.

:lol:

Why?? I think it looks cool.

Well you bought one from hot wheels and one from maisto in a short time. Not to say I don't buy more examples of models *looks at BMW M5's and VW beetles*
Umm what were we on about again?
 
Naah, whenever I saw it, I'll just take it ;) Besides, there was just 1 left so better take one before somebody does. And it's quite hard to find it now.

Unfortunately, we have no restock in some stores here for Hot Wheels. So in the mean time, Matchbox is on the go ;)👍

LOL I don't know... :lol:
 
It was about time I bought some more cars.
Hurray for bad pictures (nah I'll spare you and try and only send the good ones)

First up is a siku 5er (for those that count this one is nr. 3)
But this one is a police car or should I say polizei.

Next up is another polizei car. An Audi A4 avant.

Thats it for siku.
I got one matchbox.
An austin mini in green! It goes nice with my mini van.

And I also bought two majorettes.

A Peugeot 407 that came with a canoe trailer.

Its cool 👍

And a Toyota hilux

And that is it!

I really like the majorettes. They are nicely painted and so far there is nothing wrong with them.
The matchbox has some chipped chrome on the front :(

No need to tell you how awesome the sikus are though.
 
to whoever got the Torino TH: DAMN YOU.

I've been hunting it down for two weeks to no avail. It's the only TH of this year that's worth a damn.

Same here :(. I've been looking for it since the last 3 weeks... Actually I found it and hide it but somebody found it and take it. Bloody h**l!!

Now I have to find it or get it from a local collector...

O.O
You should have bought it on the spot!
I would.
 
Shoud've gotten both, got crazy people that always find the spot you hid it. I tryed that hiding thing once, but some clever sod found it and it was gone when I came back for it:grumpy:

Or an employee found it and put it back on the pegs. I know collectors that look for people's hidden stashes of treasure hunts, etc. And they will take the car and replace it with something else. Kinda funny some times.

I made a few rounds last night and found a few cars. Also purchased another Lambo Gallardo in satin black because I wasn't sure if I had bought one on a regular sized card already. So since I have two of them now, I will gladly send it out to anyone on here. Just PM me your address. :)
 
I thought no one would find it behind the 1:24 NASCAR cars as I usually never see anything different. Was completely wrong that time:indiff:

Was it on a high or low shelf?
I would put it behind stacked boxes of sikus on the highest shelf :sly:
Nobody could find it!
 
I work in retail, ive seen people hide stuff and now i let it be, but i used to pull it out and put it right in front for everyone to see. I was such an ass

I had it on the lowest shelf, also behind stacked boxes and even had it strategically placed flat where most of the package couldn't be seen unless one of them was moved.
 
Aha!! Naughty-naughty... I went to 7-Eleven after school today, and I found a Chevy Corvette ZR-1 in the snacks area. LOL who did that :lol: I did bought 2 cars today since they have a promotion. Both old cars... First is the 2008 First Edition Ford Focus HW and MBX Mercedes CLS500. Pics coming up soon maybe later tonight.

Also RACECAR, I hide the car on the lower part of the shelf and to the very back. They have got experience since all local collectors are aware of this tactics. Even the shopkeeper himself also a collector. Now that's cool!!! But not to us :(

EDIT:

Here are the pics.

Hi Guys, Haven't posted here for a while but I though a few of you customisers might be interested in this.

On the Hobbytalk Forums, there is a diecast customizing forum and each year a thing called the 'Hobbytalk Kustom Kontest'.
Here's the Link to the thread.

It's basically a competition where everybody starts off with the same casting and customizes it how ever they like, then at the end everyone sends in a few pics of their 'creation' and a poll is put up. There are prizes for 1st. 2nd, and 3rd aswell.

I'm going in it...I hope a few of you guys will register on Hobbytalk and go in it aswell.

Cheers, Cougar23

Any takers?
 
I would if I were in the US... Free car people...

Anyhow...Here's a few of the customs I finished up a while back but forgot to post on here...

Thanks SVX! It needs a good clean though :lol:

And also the Camaro is the same colour as the ford but the pictures doesn't show it very well :(

I was reading a post on hotwheelscollectors.com last night. Some guy got a call from his dad who was shopping at wal-mart for end tables. Apparently they were looking one over and opened up one of the drawers. It had 10+ treasure hunts and rare variations all stuffed in there. May have been an employee with a stash, but he told his dad to purchase all of them and he did. 👍

I would have done the same thing and replaced them all with mystery cars. :lol:
