Well, at least I kept the mistake in the GM family. Will fix.

Took a few pictures of the FD Hot wheels I got a while back.

Now I wish I could say that I bought the 1/64 scale model of the Family Truckster

As cool and awesome as a Family Truckster purchase would have been (did you expect me to say anything less? ). Hell of nice score with the AW Galaxie, looks great. 👍

That was weird. I didn't even have the speakers on, but I heard the angel chorus.

Any chance I could share this on the blog? It's beautiful.....

@a6m5

It did it again, the angel chorus. Would you say that chance of me finding this at the local Kroger, or Walmart's pretty good? Like almost as good as winning the $300 million lottery?

Edit: I just saw the "bundle" part. They expect us to buy the whole set AGAIN!? Jesus Mattel. Jesus.

Sure go ahead.

Sure go ahead.

Sweet. Thanks!! 👍

Another Datsun 510, of all the castings they've done, another 510.

Why not something else like a Toyota Soarer or something lol

 

[Aerocoupe]

The 510 is cool and all, but it seems like every other release has it featured in some way. We've got the Race Day bundle exclusive, the RLC member edition, Japan Historics 2, and just recently a mail in one too. How many more variants can there be?

 

[a6m5]

Thanks @Casey

@Spacegoat Your Bentley closed at $66, Super Silhouette Skyline went for $165.50. Silver TLV Porsche went for surprisingly low $64(jealous).

I love Soarer, but the one I like would be too hardcore for Hot Wheels:

 

[Spacegoat]

@Spacegoat Your Bentley closed at $66,

Not that I'd entertain selling it but that's not bad at all. 👍

Still no Autobacs Silhouette on there?

I love Soarer, but the one I like would be too hardcore for Hot Wheels:

Way too hardcore for Mattel. Clearly this is the obvious answer.

Pretty sure you guys already know what I'd say.

You must be new to Hot Wheels.

That's what they do...

Kyosho Bentley GT3 sold for $66?


Time to consider selling mine 💡

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Hell of nice score with the AW Galaxie, looks great. 👍

Thanks, it's good to know the car is being appreciated by someone at least. 👍 With all the talk about selling cars and corrections, it almost feels that people are getting less and less interested in enjoying what others buy...

(did you expect me to say anything less? )

Well I expected a 1000-word essay regarding all the reasons why the Family Truckster is awesome, but I suppose you were short on time and didn't want to comb through all your readily-available memes to find it...

 

[VXR]

Semi good HW hunt today. Poundland had long cards imported from HK, so now I have a second Fandango treasure hunt. Toys R Us had the Surf's Up 5-pack with the sweet yellow VW Caddy and red Jeep.

 

[a6m5]

I think lot of us did. It's just that this thread is so busy & moves so fast it's sometimes too hard to catch them all, and then comment on them. . P.S. Just in this post, I nearly missed two replies. That I know of.

Do Kyoshos go much higher in value? I'm of the impression that the ceiling for most Kyosho is around$80 to $100.... I could be wrong, as I'm not a big Kyosho collector.

Way too hardcore for Mattel. Clearly this is the obvious answer.

I wouldn't be against this. 👍 Not with the magic Jun Imai I think could work on the design!

Pretty sure you guys already know what I'd say.

Isuzu Piazza? 👍

 

[Spacegoat]

Well, this is just getting out of hand now.

As a6 said this thread moves fast (not too far off hitting 50,000 replies. ). I'm always interested to see what people post. Also, I'll pass on the 1000 word essay, if you don't mind.

but I suppose you were short on time and didn't want to comb through all your readily-available memes to find it...

Oh yes, of course. 👍

Isuzu Piazza? 👍

Yes.

I'd be so down for a Piazza. I hope TomyTec see this!

Well I suppose when you're such a popular old man around these part, you tend to get contacted quite often. Don't we always look up to the elderly for life advice...?

Ok, I kid (somewhat ). Joke aside, I understand the "thread speed" bit, as car variety does get crazy on some days with people positing all kinds of purchases, but there's something else I feel shouldn't be happening quite as often (see answer to Space Goat below);

Fair enough, it's just that sometimes I wonder if interest is waning in the face of rising prices and all the casting error talk. Sometimes discussions deal more with those topics than general appreciation. Nothing wrong with doing that from time to time, but they shouldn't be the only topics in discussion.

Brief rant aside, no no, I insist on the essay. Expert advice on such an important matter (if you don't think the Truckster is an important matter, you're not a family man) is always welcome. Unless you prefer writing a text about the great variety of Falcon Interceptor castings, which I certainly don't mind either...

 

[Johnny1996]

Isuzu Piazza? 👍

No. And you've made me double angry because Piazza looks like pizza and now I'm hungry.

Well, this is just getting out of hand now.

Screw the Falcon I just want the ramp truck.

Greenlight doesn't have a ramp truck by itself do they?

 

[Sonygamer455]

Haho ha how do you do that!?

Sorry for the delay. It has a plastic piece on the bottom that can be adjusted in different heights.

My brothers Woodie also has it.

I have that truck too
View attachment 678319

Nice! 👍 The Dodge D-50 is awesome!

 

[a6m5]

Well, this is just getting out of hand now.

I want the truck, but not the third Falcon. Only if I didn't give in to Down Under peer pressure & buy the second Falcon.

I get where you are coming from, but here's where I'm coming from: I think we appreciate the products, or model cars plenty. The ups & downs caused by the high prices, poor build quality, etc., it just goes with the territory. When someone posts nice pictures of cars, which is every single pages, to me, that's somebody appreciating these toy cars.

No. And you've made me double angry because Piazza looks like pizza and now I'm hungry.

You think you are the only one!? I shared same frustration, although it was my own doing!

Greenlight doesn't have a ramp truck by itself do the

You'll have to buy the set, then sell the car.

My brothers Woodie also has it

So is the rear part notched or something? Push in to lower it, pull it out to tilt that rear axle housing/bracket thing to raise it up? Sorry for bugging you, I've never seen such a design. Pretty neat! 👍

 

[GTboyz]

Yikes

I can see where you are coming from. Has been a topic at the forefront of a lot of discussions around here lately. But I think that's part of it, as it is with most hobbies. We all want whatever cars we buy to be as good as they can possible be.

Unless you prefer writing a text about the great variety of Falcon Interceptor castings, which I certainly don't mind either...

There was never a ramp truck in any of the Mad Max films. It's all fake news!

*Fast forward to me buying one anyway*

Greenlight doesn't have a ramp truck by itself do they?

I wish, it's such a cool looking casting. So far it's only appeared in sets with a car, like that. Or this one.

To you.

[a6m5]

That STP set is hawt.

To you.

I will start my own Mad Max car dealership. In 1/64.

 

[Spacegoat]

That STP set is hawt.

I really like it too. STP hasn't been over done like a certain other company (). Would be nice if they released the ramp truck on it's own for a change though.

You need the 1/43 and 1/24 versions of the Interceptor now, as well. Oh and a1/18 too.

I think I just like the racer. Now if GreenLight would package this racer & Mad Max ramp truck together for me.....

You need the 1/43 and 1/24 versions of the Interceptor now, as well. Oh and a1/18 too.

Time to get some help Jarrodge. I think you've had too much of the certain AUTOart/Kyosho 787B Kool Aid.

 

[yabiggoose]

Don't get so cut if not everyone remarks on a purchase lol, it's not necessarily that interesting to everyone.

I like the car but not that casting hence I didn't bother commenting in the first place cos then you'd complain about people complaining about it lol.

Just saying.

Oh and @a6m5 needs a 1:1 pursuit special too. (The black XB coupe is not an Interceptor, that was the XB sedan in yellow/blue/red).

Are the Greenlight cars decent quality? hard to tell from a pic
