Unfortunately, yeah. Although I don't mind them on cars like that. It's cars like the Boss Mustang released this year that have the stupid large rear tires and they were not necessary.
 
I want all those 5 posted Boulevards :drool:


Take all the crummy Taxi cabs, GT-X and Camaros I got here! I already have the Fangula, Hudson Hornet, Corvette Stingray, the Demon and Classic Packard.
 
Just added a bunch of Speed Machines to my list. I'm trying to figure out how I can do that thing where you can select a section at the top of the list and it will sort the list by your selection. Like if you want to only see Treasure Hunts or Speed Machines, you can select that and it will only show those. You can do it in excel, but I'm not sure how to do it in Google Docs.
 
Agh, stop posting stuff to make my money go away, people. The Turbine, and that link to the next Hot Ones lineup, yummy...

CRX is in Mix 5.

Edit: Not liking the chrome bottom half on the CRX, but I shall buy 2 of them so I can customize the other one. Will do wheel swap and paint the chrome part white.

Dat CRX :drool:. I'm buying more than one when I find it.

Ah, thank you guys. 👍 Phew. :lol:

Isn't Turbine a fairly new release? I'm sure you two will get another crack at it. It was the first time I saw it. Although I've cut down my collecting to nearly a "zero", I liked the looks of it, and just had to have it. It was funny, this awesome cashier girl at the grocery store, that's exactly what she said. She looks at me in the eyes and grumbled "You just had to, huh?" :lol:

Woah dude you ran into a girl collector?! :eek:

They are extremely hard to find in the world of collectors. Careful with girl collectors, they will use their charms to their advantages. ;)

But this kind of collector won't give it up just yet. Proceed with caution. :scared::lol:

Another new tooling that's listed on the wiki for the boulevard series is the Vector W8 TwinTurbo. Can't wait to see that once they make it. :drool: Also some other interesting models that will be boulevards:
http://hotwheels.wikia.com/wiki/Hot_Wheels_Boulevard

Hmmmm.. I can't wait to see the Honda Civics. I hope it's the EK Si, still have a older one back from when I was a kid in the 90's. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a TypeR EP3 in the Boulevard series.

Camaro sounds interesting. Do you guys know approximately what year Camaro?

Vector, I've never really been a fan of, but with that super exotic looks, if Hot Wheels pull it off, I'm getting it.

Who am I kidding, I'm getting that one regardless. :P

P.S. While I'm trying not to buy Hot Wheels, they had couple of these as well today:

Stupid Mattel. If they had this thing in black(esp. w/flames), they'd forced my hand on this one, too! :sly:

Woah even a W8?!?! I remember that car from the GT2 days. Only brought it once and took it to the test track, fell in love with it. Though it looks like some Transformer, it's a unique car noneoftheless. On my list as well. :D

I don't know man, I think it's gonna be a game time decision for me. :guilty:

Hey A6, get those cars and don't look back bro. ;)

I stop after I completed getting the cars I want, but pick up whenever a car or more pops around the corner. Get those car whenever you find them. Just save up a few $$$ on the side for them.

Now I'm gonna be busy now myself, gotta split some of my collector money again :ouch:.

Very nice one from MB.
 
With some help from Justin I think I got my list figured out. If someone can click the link in my sig and tell me if you are able to sort the sheet from the drop downs at the top, that would be great. :)

Yep, works fine.
 
THE TIME HAS COME. I'm home for the summer and can now post pictures of everything I grabbed this semester! I won't bother posting descriptions because you've all probably seen all these before at some point. :P



































 
Just added a bunch of photos to my inventory list.

Also changed back to the old style sheet, didn't really like the one with the drop downs.

3.50 for this Sto-n-Go, the only way to get the Green '82 supra!
This is my third set, but c'mon it's a supra.

Promotional models and Since '68 models

Found a guy with a few International releases!

AND FINALLY....these I have never seen before.

IMG_0458.jpg

Possibly the most wicked insert set of matchbox I've ever seen. The card backs show every other car in both sets.
(I happen to find one car from each set.)

From this moment forward, here is the coolest Matchbox I have ever scene and it isn't close!
 
Found a bunch of old VW Hotwheels and Matchbox in a box my dad was going through last night. (lots of Baja Bugs like pictured above) I think he's getting stuff ready for a yard sale so will have to snag them from him.
 
I do have an extra red One-77. They are rather plentiful in my area. Which Impreza do you speak of?

The new one...

I also wanted to ask what Designer Challenge cars you guys have an abundant supply of... I want more, but all I get here are the green HW40, red Lotus Concept, red Honda Racer, black XP-07 and black Chevroleter.
 
Agh, stop posting stuff to make my money go away, people. The Turbine, and that link to the next Hot Ones lineup, yummy...
While I won't go out of my way to get certain Hot Wheels anymore, some of these Boulevard series cars that look so good, they pretty much transcend beyond "hot wheels", or toy cars, if they pop-up, I'll gladly to pay 3, 4 dollars. With a big smile on my face. :D

P.S. You guys don't read very good. I didn't say girl collector(sounds like myth to me j/k), I was talking about my local grocery store cashier!
 
Nice collection Driving Park! Hope to see more of your collection growing during your break. :)

Thanks man! 👍 We'll see how much it grows over these nearly 4 months. ;)

If i remember correctly it was a short run for a year or so and it included some mitsubishi concept car...but i could be mistaken, it was probably three or four years ago

The Mitsubishi Double Shotz. One engine in the front, another in the back. :D I have one, albeit in a green color variation.

P.S. You guys don't read very good. I didn't say girl collector(sounds like myth to me j/k), I was talking about my local grocery store cashier!

Wishful thinking? :dopey:
