Here's my haul over the last couple days. Walked into WalMart this morning to full pegs, but no Treasure Hunts. While I was looking around the toy section for cars that may be hanging at the end of another isle, there was one of those metal carts with boxes on it. I glanced over it and noticed a couple brand new boxes of Hotwheels on it. There were two other collectors there, so I let them know about it and I opened one box, they went through the other one. That's where the treasure hunt came from.

ah, I want the 1972 Charger.
Ok people, Im gonna show you a very, very VERY special piece that just landed in my dirty paws. It is an extremely, extremely, extremely rare, rare as in only-4-known-in-this-colour-in-the-world rare 1969 Hot Wheels Swingin' Wing redline MADE IN MEXICO BY CIPSA PLASTICOS S.A.
If you are a REALLY REALLY hardcore HWs collector then you may know that some HWs redlines were made out of US and HK, some in Italy, some in India, and some in Mexico. these mexican oddities are known as Cipsas because of the company that manufactured them, and they feature characteristics that are unique to their "homeland", such as WEIRD colours of paint, interior, glass, and even metallic red lines in the tires. They are incredibly rare (there are about 100 known in the world today) and of course incredibly expensive. Yet over here you can still find such stuff in... heh, flea markets.
So I'm doin' my usual walk in one and it IMMEDIATELY hits me in the face. Redline in weird colour = CIPSA. I just about fell on myself to grab it before someone else does. I check it and double check it. Yes, Cipsa indeed. White interior, check. Gray glass, check. Badly spun rivets, check. "How much?" -"Eh, give me ten pesos"... which ammounts to ALMOST a dollar. And I found it in such a good condition.
I already had her "confirmed" by the guys in the know, and one of them (who holds one of the largest CIPSA collections in the world) tells me that mine is number three or four, someting along those lines. He offers me 450 dollars for it but mah, I'm gonna keep it.
So, without further addo, here goes the most valuable and rare piece in my collection... and arguably, the ugliest one of them all. Oh well. I'll just have to get used to it.
here are the trademark Cipsa low-quality rivets:
And here, the trademark Cipsa windows and white interior:
The car is missing it's articulated wing, as all other CIPSA Swingin' Wings. If I had found it with it's original wing it would have been one of the rarest HWs in the entire world.
At least it still has the pull-out engine.
sleeping
so, there we go, another big strike of luck and I'm the owner of an incredibly rare piece. Yeah, it could happen to you, too.
cheers

Well after going through my old hotwheels and getting fairly envious of some of the cars purchased in this thread I decided to make the most of the deal BigW had yesterday that TheStig13 mentioned. Giving a few to my nephew but keeping most for myself. If only Target had the same offer. They had at least another 10 I would have purchased.

Just got back from the Wal-Mart, they just restocked and had a whole bunch of new cars, as well as 3 full racks of Speed Machines! Naturally I had to get some, so I picked up these 5 Speed Machines:
- a Ferrari 333 SP racer in red and white
- the Polizia Lambo Gallardo
- a lime green Lambo Reventon (already have a Reventon but couldn't resist the color)
- an oddly colored teal with lime green stripes Ford GT LM
- a lime green (sensing a theme here?) Acura NSX race car (it looks like JGTC but i'm not sure since it's an Acura and not a Honda.
There were plenty more including a yellow 'Roc R24 racer, but I had to cut back.
I don't have any pics ATM but I'll try to get some up this weekend.

I got some new cars today. Yay me!
There was a special offer, so I could buy 2 hot wheels for the price of one.
But they were pre prepared packages and you couldn't chose which cars you could take together, so some aren't my favorites.
First off a plymouth AAR cuda. I wanted to buy it for a while now, but now with this offer I finally took it.
Oh and I got a blue road runner with it. I already have one road runner packaged, so I let this one loose.
Anyway the cuda...
Second 2 pack was a datsun bluebird and some... thing (
)
But hey the thing was free...
bluebird:
the thing:
So that was the 2 packs, but I also got a seperate model.
Its a 69' charger. Goes well with my green 67' charger.
So that is it for the hot wheels BUT fear not!
I got 2 majorettes. 1st one is a nice ford foucus WRC. It isn't from the racing series, so it is less detailed and obviously doesn't have a bunch of tampos, but it is pretty cool nontheless.
And now by far the best purchase of the day. It's a majorette Renault f1 car.
Wooow!
Still love the racing series!

The details are much better and I hate how the hot wheels ones have the spoiler so high up. It's probably, so that they can go on the hot wheels tracks and loops and stuff.

Pfah!! Hot Wheels never even made 1:64 F1 Cars, they just had one horendiously inaccurate bodymold with differentate liverys and called it a "F1 Racer". They have a new but the rear wing isn't made right, the planks have these pathetic extensions to the suspension and as Apokalipse pointed, the front wing is too high

I think I got one of those in a McEatalot happy meal a looong time ago.

Sure. They have just as much play value as a hot wheels if not more. The doors usually open and they are quite detailed. But they still retain the play value as I said earlier.
When I saw that bus I thought... please hinge...
Then I quickly bought it and outside I opened it and I was.... woooow awesome.
The kid in me has spoken 👍
Oh wait I am a kid... darn

Haven't posted, or looked for cars, in forever. I had bought a few a while ago but never got around to posting them so here they are.
I bought the Escalade to turn it into an off-roader, the Morgan because it's just plain awesome, and the Malibu because it's weird to see it as a scaled car. I just had to grab the Sweet 16 II because it's from 2003 and is 1/5 of the Spectraflame II collection (if that means anything).
