Going by today's MSRPs though, it's probably around $16 for TLV to $6 for GreenLight though, give or take.

Duh, going by brand name and price point only there's no surprise.

Hello guys! It's been a while since I have posted here!
My brother went to a local reunion recently and picked up a lot of interesting goodies there. While I have been there before a long time ago, I was not able to go with him though.
Anyways....
Team Knight Rider Attack Beast Action Pack. Man do I love these action packs! Though I want the Dante more, I have wanted one of these as well! This thing has 3 different attachments on it, which makes it even more interesting. The truck is actually bigger than I thought too!
Crazy Classics5 Pack. Well, 4 pack technically. 
This one was missing one when he bought it, so he got a discount on it. Nice to have a mint Radio Flyer Wagon again, Treadator is a piece from my childhood that i'm always happy to see and that Speed-A-Saurus is also a favorite. Weirdly enough my brother passed up the Virtual Collection series Speed-A-Saurus back in 2007 for a yellow Lamborghini Murcielago (A decision I still don't agree with) and it was just like this one, had the same tattoo except it was green with gold wheels instead. Interesting....
'65 Mustang Convertible. Yep the 30th Anniversary series, still sealed. Very nice!
Old Number 5. Same as above. We have the Old Number 5.5, but not the Old Number 5.5, so this is a great addition to our collection.
Mercedes Benz Unimog. Me and my brother have collected for years and own 1000+ Hot Wheels, but sadly only 3 of them are Unimog's, including this one. Which is sad because I love this casting and I wish we had more of them. So it's very nice to see one of these again especially in mint condition. Man do I love that camoflage!
Nissan Hardbody. Another a nice one we don't see nearly enough. I have one and he has one, and that's it sadly, so it's great to have another! Ironically the last time he got one of these was the same day he bought that yellow Murcielago I mentioned above.
Street Roader. I can only think of one other casting we have of this one, so that's another great addition to the collection! And of course, like the Nissan Hardbody, this is the first time he's got another one of these since that day in 2007 I have already mentioned above.
Rig Wrecker. My brother loves this casting, so I am not surprised he bought it, And once again, like the Nissan Hardbody and the Street Roader, the last time he bought one of these was one that same day in 2007. Is their a connection here?!
'70 Plymouth Roadrunner. We have one just like this from our childhood that's pretty well loved and having a mint version of this one is great since our other is beat up somewhat badly.
Sky Search Action Pack. Yet another one. Not my favorite Action Pack ever released, but still, it's always nice to have more of them. Love these sets to pieces!
Don't know the name of this one, but it's a Whoppers truck from the Haulers series and it's quite big. Haulers are quite a rarity to us because we only have a few in our entire collection and we're lucky to ever see them at all. Ironically I saw a Milk Duds truck from the same series the last time I went to the reunion my brother got this one from. Nearly 7 years later i'm still kicking myself for not getting it.
Rescue Ranger. My brother loves this casting as well since his childhood, so it's no surprise he got it.
Gulch Stepper. Ever since I saw this one Hot Wheels Stunt Track Driver 2, I have always wanted this particular one and now we finally have one! Hooray for off road vehicles!
Dodge Charger Daytona. My brother described this one to me and later got it and I am glad he did. Yet another childhood favorite. Much better than the one they released later on.
Bronco. My brother loves this Bronco and he'll probably buy any that he comes across and even though I have this exact one, I don't blame him for buying one for himself.
And that's all for now. A lot of good ones we don't see nearly enough and then some. A bit of an ironic story about how he bought some of them together 11 years ago and did it again this year. Not too sure how much he paid for all these though since I wasn't there with him. I'll try to get some close ups of the Action Pack vehicles and their accessories, maybe a picture of the Whoppers truck later on. Cheers!

You know the deal; Once you open it, no resale value.
That's a good one.

It was already opened when my brother found it, so who cares?You know the deal; Once you open it, no resale value.
I always open what I buy because apart from selling or giving them away (both of which I never do), I think buying them and never opening them is kind of pointless.
Heck, you could give me a carded redline and i'd still open it. I still try to preserve their condition however, some of the more meaningful ones I have I tend to put back in the blisters when i'm not using them, for safe keeping.

I hear you, and I think you already understand this, but just as how it makes sense to play with, or display the darn things, it would make perfect sense for someone to preserve the collectibles in untouched condition, too. Especially when the item is older, or rarer.I always open what I buy because apart from selling or giving them away (both of which I never do), I think buying them and never opening them is kind of pointless.
Also, when it involves Wonder Woman Invisible Jet.

Perhaps, but i'm just not fond of keeping them in packages forever and ever while they collect dust. I'd much rather roll them around some and make some good memories with them.
I know someone in a Hot Wheels group on Facebook that has 60,000 Hot Wheels in his collection and 40,000 of them are unopened.
But if you can't see it, how do you know it's mint?Also, when it involves Wonder Woman Invisible Jet.

You know what they say; Different folks, different strokes!
I'm more stunned by the numbers.
Do not ruin my fantasy for me!!But if you can't see it, how do you know it's mint?

Don't be jealous all at once. My Walmart just got some Forza cars in! Always the latest & the greatest.
We are little low on Halo cars! *gag*

Digging the color & the chin spoiler. I was looking at the pictures of their A-Team van the other day. Those visors that go over the front windshield, it was done horribly & it looked like a wing from a race car or something was resting on top of the windshield? Quite in contrast to how good the chin spoiler looks here.

Yeah it looks nice, quite contrary to the R35 one. Holy hell it looks crap.Digging the color & the chin spoiler. I was looking at the pictures of their A-Team van the other day.

Just a small flaw imo but kinda irks me off. The best 510 from GL might actually be the Silver one instead of the blue one that i like.
Just look at this.
That silver strip on the hood near th grill looks too big.
Now let's look at the silver one..
The silver strip on the hood is cleaner and looks identical to the real thing.
Seriously GL, why???
