Wow, I used to have that very same car in real life, same color and everything. I was about 27 at the time, but for some reason I felt like an old man driving that car, lol. It was a good car but I didn't keep it long as I ended up trading it in for a sportier Ford Probe, lol.

Couple from me today:

Richard Petty '67 Plymouth(HW, of course)

Johnny Lightning VW Polizei Transporter

Oldies, but goodies.

That Plymouth looks neat! What HW series is that?

 

[RCKakashi14]

New Kyosho GT-Rs:

Preorders start now. Release date is on September.

 

[yabiggoose]

Really sick of the GTR tbh.

 

[a6m5]

^ Hot damn I don't like Plymouths, but I do like that blue.

I like it, too. Unfortunately, Vintage Racing stuff cost way too much, so this is probably the only one I have in this color. It's on the link, but it's from the Hall of Fame.

Really sick of the GTR tbh.

Welcome to GTPlanet.

But wait.... There's more!

I'll admit I'm a little burnt out on GT-R's. I do hope this new Tokyo Torque series brings other Japanese brands to Greenlight.

 

[CodeRedR51]

GT-R all the things!

 

[Zychotic1]

in for all 3 Zs

 

[MedigoFlame]

I didn't realize Hot Wheels was bringing the C210 to HW as well!

Petty blue is a classic.

Same. That's why I haven't bothered going for any of the new TLV GT-R's, as nice as they look. Just burned out on them.

 

[Johnny1996]

Suzuki Alto GT-R.

 

[Spacegoat]

Suzuki Alto GT-R.

You had me at Alto.

A few gems. hey were all $2 or less. So with what you said in mind, I may just have a few steals.

Dude what the hell. You almost got paid to take them. As @Zychotic1 said, the Cougar is part of the first-ever run of HW and even without the hood was a steal at$2. The other redlines were, too, specially the complete purple Torero, not common in that color.
The Red Baron is a late 70s/early 80s blackwall (no redlines) release and is actually more difficult to find than the redline, at least in my experience. The one you have with redlines is a reissue part of the 25th anniversary celebration for HW, again, like @Zychotic1 said.

Some people have actually seen bigfoot though.

Haaa good one. I've been immersed in work all trough this weekend :/

Boy I guess I got pretty damn lucky then. And on top of what I already posted, I have another 25th Anniversay Red Baron still in the package somewhere. If I find it I'll post it.

Any idea on values by chance?

10/15 bucks each depending on the car and color, as usual, maybe more maybe less. For example, I wouldn't give you $5 for the paddy wagos as it sits lol

 

[a6m5]

@Cano, you can't just make small talk & leave! You need to post more cars!!

Always defiant a6m5 & his Toyota in a Skyline dominated page:

TLV Toyota Supra Pace Car

One of the better Supras they have, I think. Brighter wheel center caps are weird though.

Not too bad I guess. I mean I don't intend on parting with any of them anytime soon, but it's nice to have stuff with a bit of value to it.

ok

 

[a6m5]

I don't know about you guys, but I'm partial to the Greyhound bus & Pepsi truck.

The milking of GT-R makes me associate R35 fanboys with bad taste. :| What a sad day to be alive.

Don't worry about it. Just tell your boss you need to take some time off to post pics of toy cars on a video game forum. I'm sure he'll understand. :tup:

Definitely my favourite Supra so far. Weird coloured wheels and the white outline around the fuel flap, which totally ruins the right side profile of the car, issues aside.

I googled to see if the Supra safety/pace car actually had weird paint job like that on the wheels, but I can't seem to find one photograph of it if my life depended on it. I did find this coverage of the race, but car's driving & the footage's super grainy.

 

[SVX]

I tried to find it myself, but ultimately found the 1985 pace car instead:

I can deal with that.

HD has spoiled us.

I much prefer the light bar on the Supra in the video compared to the one they put on the model. Looks better without that red light on top of it.

Honestly, I had no idea about the MID4 til just now. Cool stuff. 👍

 

[GTboyz]

Bought 4 pcs of the Fugu Z off Facebook and one of them got this bugging mold. It bent the wheels a little, i'm worried that the wheels can't move because of that mold, i feel like selling this one but seems like this has no value anymore ?

 

[GroupB]

I also noticed on both that one and the police car, they didn't bother with the "Toyota Supra" nameplates below the rear lights. Maybe there's a limit on tampo spending now, as well as all the other cost cuts we've noticed?

I didn't notice the fuel flap. I'd check later, but I'll probably forget.

It's crazy hard to search Google for this car.

I was thinking that too about the light bar.

Lamborghini I gave to my nephew over the weekend had the same issue. It was pushing the wheel one way so far, that I didn't even try repairing it. I'm certain axle's warped.

They've been fairly consistent.

You can just grind it off. If you'd rather be picky over a $1 car (lol I'm mockin ya), buy another one.


But still, grind it off and make a custom car out of it if you get a second one.

Well i can grind it off but the axle's all busted i think lol. I'll just keep it like that, i won't take it out of the package anyways.

Yikes, is your nephew okay with that ? I know some who collects error HW but i just can't.

We race them, so no, he was not okay with that. "Something's wrong with its wheels, it's very slow!" I told him that I was gonna try to fix it, but I decided to just give him another car. I have mainline cars stockpiled for them.
