So RLC Car Culture Box set can be ordered in my country.... At the price of whooping $200ish. It's the cheapest route i could take to get one...

Finally made a pair.

Well It's been a while since I bought anything but I stopped by the Hot wheels section in Walmart and found almost all of the Japan historics.



I really like the C210 the best out of all of them.

God that is so cool. Things like the old tyres and stuff sitting in the tray, his attention to detail is just incredible.

Yeah, you can tell he was having fun with it, but man, the execution! 👍👍

From our discussions in the past, minimal difference, couple of added details. I don't think any of us has ever done a actual side by side though.

Dude, yes.

Cool custom, but artistry. 👍

Interesting, love to do one but it's hard to find both here

You guys manage to get the RLC boxed set? The comments section in the RLC website is a disaster.

Don't know if he was after that set but I know @a6m5 was having a lot of trouble with the RLC site today.

Spun my tires for over an hour. Came up empty handed. It has helped me decide to pull out of this hobby though. When crap starts outweighing fun, it's time to call it quits.

It's been that way ever since I joined few years ago, older members say it's been that way since the beginning. Also what rubs me the wrong way are the scalpers with numerous accounts. Mattel has been limiting lot of purchases this year to just "one" per customer, so I have no idea why they allowed three sets per account this time.

Or you could just save yourself some hassle and not be an RLC member. Don't let RLC ruin the fun.

Tell me about it, 1 guy got 9 set! Mattel needs to sort that crap out when it's billed to the same damn address. There's also talks about people managed to get the set minutes before the countdown using glitches lol.

But you shouldn't pull out, just stay away from those stuff that gives you a lot of problem. Focus on other stuff that is easier to find.

This.

 

[a6m5]

I still have lot of cars & some on preorder, so this will be a gradual exit. I won't disappear on you guys anytime soon.

I appreciate it guys, but I'm just not into it that much anymore. RLC website is just the latest. Don't get me wrong though, I had fun. It was a good run. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

I mean, I don't buy nearly as many mainline Hot Wheels anymore and only buy premium stuff I can find in stores. The rest of my money goes to stuff that's actually worth it like Auto World. I've slowed down but I would never be able to pull all the way out. I've been doing this since I was in Jr High...

Just decided this today, so I'm not sure where I'll be couple months down the line. I feel pretty good about it, but I may do just enough to keep the blog on a life support or something. I do have more cars on the way, with some preorders running thru the summer.

Focus on the better stuff like Johnny Lightning and Auto World. Since you can still find them on the pegs with a cheap price. AW and JL don't exist on the pegs here, most of the are around $15 through online market. Those are the price i got for the FJ40 and the GT40.

Since not many people like AW here, not many sellers sell them, i still can't find the Gulf one (except the chase car, but they go around $100 )
