Third transporter this month homies!

"Won't be seen in a Hyundai...' Pfft, utter blasphemy!

They were still coming along, back then. These days, they have already surpassed more than half Japanese automakers in one way or another, or completely.

I nearly bought it too thinking I struck gold. Spent the next five minutes comparing it to the others on the pegs. Professional job. I don't buy HW but I know the blister opening trick, so lucky I didn't get conned.

Errors would've been cool, but I'd never buy them, unless it's something outrageous. Smartphone pic's good enough.

Error car.

Corgi Pat Austin NHRA Top Fuel dragster and hauler combo. The truck does have mirrors but you have to put them on. They come on a molding tree just like the plastic model kits.

All of those are pretty neat, but I like the old Ford the best.

And yes, error cars. How cute.

Could not have picked a better car to put on the back of that flatbed. :tup:

I'm very ashamed that I didn't think of the Bellett.

Is it possible to open the oil can packaging to fake an error?

If so, it's generally not worth the trouble to treat it as one, when you could just open it up and fix the bonnet.

My mini-review of the Tarmac Works 1:64 Audi R8 LMS.

With advice from @R1600Turbo I created a blog to store my photos instead of flooding this forum

Good review. You should add "share" button to your blog. I'm usually good about sharing posts from you guys on Twitter, etc. 👍

I feel much the same way. I have another identical Woody truck somewhere in its correct pack which is why I'm not sure if I should open the thing or not.

More from the recent fleamarket haul. None of these was more than 2 bucks. Most of them will be sold to ludicrous profit 👍

Still more later on.

 

[Johnny1996]

I have that purple and orange dump truck somewhere. I'll have to post it if I can find it.

 

[a6m5]

You are da man, @Cano 👍

On my way home today:

They never restocked Fast & Furious cars, been out of stock for couple of weeks..... then these two S2Ks pop out of nowhere on a peg. I took one for moi, one for de nephews. I wasn't interested in them at first, but it's just one of those things.

Also the rest of Guardians of Galaxy cars(eight in all) for denephews. They have really poor taste in hot wheel castings....

Love the metallic grey/silver. Looks great. 👍

Sure.

 

[a6m5]

Sure.

Dude, look at 'em! What kind of drugs do you have to be on to want these cars!!(no offense to those who bought them lmao)

THERE'S A FAST FISH!?

THERE'S A FAST FISH!?

I had to google that, I remember the casting now. I had no idea that's what it was on the top right.

 

[Johnny1996]

So I got a new shelf for my racing diecast and filled almost all of the 1:64 spots up, but I ended up having some empty spots which means I have to go on a shopping spree now because OCD.

And yes I do intend to share a lot of this collection at some point. I'll probably do a video like Kakashi I believe it was did. Not to copy the idea but just because it would be so much easier that way. Plus not a lot of racing stuff gets posted in here; I think most of such posts are from me come to think of it.

Am I the only one that missed the FAF set with the pink S2000? I never saw it in stores.

I don't even remember that one..... Then again, I even missed Paul Walker/Brian WRX STI.

 

[Spacegoat]

Nothing you do surprises me anymore.

They're not all bad though. Fast Fish and Scorcher and two of the (very) few fantasy cars that are half way decent looking.

 

[SVX]

My mum bought me that and the Daytona a few months ago actually. On discount, because I would never spend $7 on a Hot Wheels with no added detail.

More from the fleamarket! But this time it's all one buck and 50 cents trash, donnors and projects. Several of these are dead already. The exception being the awesome chinese red camper in the first picture, which is basically my ealry childhood. I had one exactly like that one when I was a little kid. I was so happy to find it again, and in basically mint shape, with all the stickers and stuff.

 

[Zychotic1]

that silver car used to be a chevrolet Cheeta... windsheild from a Cat-a-pult or Second Wind would be appropriate to build a custom roadster conversion

 

[Johnny1996]

As I mentioned the other day, I thought about using a video to show my collection on my new shelves. That video is in the spoiler below. Not everything is 1:64 and I definitely have more on the way.

And I'd like to make this note, mainly aimed for @RCKakashi14, by no means am I copying his (or your) idea. This was done simply because I have so much stuff and it would be much easier to show the cars this way. Plus let's face it, there would be some larger scale cars in the background of the 1:64 photos, and you guys would probably be curious as to what they were. 👍

Spoiler: Video

I have a wheel-less alternate release of that Kellogg's van with your name on it.


In fact, I have a lot of wheel-less cars with your name on it. Are you interested in becoming a returning customer again?

I'm always interested. What I'm also always in is total poverty, and now more than ever. Diecast Facebook groups and Ahmed have sucked all my money lately. I'm like 300 bucks in the hole right now.

Johnny doesn't live in Somalia, guys. I didn't hear AK in the background once!!

That is one hell of a Nascar collection. Awesome stuff. 👍

Been following Ahmed on Flickr for a while now. Does that guy ever spend money on anything beside model cars? The amount of stuff he posts is incredible!

Yes, Star Wars, Playmobil, and real cars. The guy is just nuts.

I told you. It's Pittsburgh. Not Somalia.

Thank you.

At least you have a collection. I don't even have one car and I'd definitely like to get at least one car someday.
