The wheel offset is terrible.

Pulled this from the basement today. Excuse the picture quality.

Never got into those, but it looks like it's worth QUITE A BIT.

That silver strip on the hood near th grill looks too big.

Reminds me of 2019 Accords.

The wheel offset is terrible.

Never been their strength.

I wanna own that Highway 35 set one day.

NO WAY. You'd be able to make a pretty penny from those cars.

Here's a link to the article that @homeforsummer did on 50 years of Hot Wheels for evo magazine. If anyone is interested. Enjoyable read.

Can't even begin to imagine what that set would actually be worth. I'm assuming it'd be lot.

Thanks - was going to post it here but completely forgot!

Highway 35s are worth good money.

Find yourself a good sucker.

 

[Ken]

I've never heard of them before

Word Tomy hooks you up with trading cards, with a chance at a RARE grill mesh pattern?!?! Materialistic folks eat your heart out.

I can't get over how great that casting looks. I can't get over how such special edition exist without us in the N.A. knowing about it.

Edit: I was supposed to have my Ignition Model/Tarmac Works order ready for pickup today. It wasn't there. I ran tracking & while they had it in town yesterday, they shipped it to another town within Oregon this morning.

Last time they did something like this, they smashed half the stuff inside the box. 🤬 USPS.

So I said earlier I would post some individual shots of the Attack Beast, so here it is! The Attack Beast has 3 different attachments for it, all of which are pretty interesting and I got pictures of each of them. The truck is actually a bit bigger than I thought. Since it's a lot of pictures, i'll keep them in a spoiler.

Spoiler: Attack Beast Photos

For starters, here it is without any attachments at all. The gap in the back of the bed is where the attachments connect to. You'll see why it has that hole in the back of the cab later on.....

This is the saw blade slasher attachment. It has flaps that open up and allow you to pull the saw out. The saw moves in all directions and each part can be detached. Quite fascinating!

Here is the escape hovercraft. Has fans behind the seats and of course something along the edges to make it float on water. (It doesn't actually do that though, it's just cosmetic) Doesn't really do anything compared to the saw blade, but that's where the imagination comes into play really.

And here is the mega cannon. This attachment can tilt back to show the cannon, and close up to hide it, this is why that hole I mentioned earlier is there, to allow the attachment to close up. The cannon can also be moved up and down once opened.

And lastly here is the Duke action figure next to it. Unfortunately after taking this photo, I seemed to of misplaced the figure and I cannot find it.

I got some pictures of the truck disassembled I will post on the next page and it's actually quite promising!

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.

Wasn’t those that were part of the Forza box set that came to Toys R Us? I got those forza cars a few months ago.

How did that one exist without Japanese Lamley knowing about it!?

While the GT-R does look amazing. How cool is the box art? Love it.

I have a set, but with different cars like BMW & Ford GT race cars, etc.

I'm less than a casual collector at this point.

 

[GTboyz]

I feel like Thanos in the intro of Infinity War. 2 Down, 3 series to go.

For those who have been lamenting TLV build quality going downhill, both the black and the matte gray cars had door mirrors come loose while shooting this.

I don't know if you have any Super Silhouette Skylines, but the rear wing came loose couple of times.

No. Missed out on those before they got crazy expensive.

They sound photogenic.

First true (albeit rushed) attempt at scenic 1/64 photography:

If you ever get a chance to take this thing out onto dirt, grab a stick or something and scratch out a dirt trail. Make yourself a "diorama" out of it.



Edit: Oh wait this is inside a pot.

 

[a6m5]

While the scales don't match, the shot actually looks really good.

Good news for me today. While the box was really small & beat up(scared me), IG cars made it in safely!

I think they've always been stupid expensive. Fortunately for people who paid paid big money for them, they've only gone up since.

Have you ever actually received a parcel that wasn't beat up? Jesus.

Happy to see that the models arrived okay. 👍

Tarmac Works bubble wrapped the car cases inside the package, but I still couldn't believe they were okay in there. Cardboard box was partially crushed. USPS.

Happy to see that the models arrived okay. 👍

I was so relieved after that USPS detour. Thanks guys!! 👍

Yup, office plant. Did note to make track marks for next time.

Saw Tooligans on the pegs, swiped them all.
There was only two, though - good enough for me; one to tighten the nuts on my bongos, the other to stayed trapped in the bubble.

Nothing like pulling out a Tooligan to get the conversation going when you got nuts to tighten. But they have to be the right size nuts.

Another perfectly stickered car from Inno.
