Of course it'd different from the old one.

And I think the fact that they haven't release it yet means they are waiting. ;)
Could be, i can't wait!:dopey: They released the old one before it even landed on mars! Where these action packs easy to find when they came out? Some say they are super rare. P.S. Might want to reread my last post because i edited right after you commented.

A Porsche Boxster and a Hummer H2. These are about the size of Hotwheels. The Hummer even has an opening tail gate.


P8010189 by commodoreben, on Flickr

P8010190 by commodoreben, on Flickr
A Toyota Crown Police Car, Smart For-Two and a Nissan Cedric. The Nissan and Toyota both have opening doors.


P8010192 by commodoreben, on Flickr
A Fuso Truck Crane, Isuzu Journey Q Hamberger Shop Van with a opening side window and a Forklift that has a broken mast.


P8010193 by commodoreben, on Flickr

P8010194 by commodoreben, on Flickr
A Subaru Sambar Van, Nissan Diesel Truck and a pair of London Buses. The Subaru has an opening rear door and the Nissan has a tipper bed that still has its door.


P8010199 by commodoreben, on Flickr
Some more capsule cars. A Mitsubishi GTO, Suzuki Wagon R RR and a 240Z.


P8010205 by commodoreben, on Flickr
A Bulldozer and a 3 Wheeled Van that I have no idea what it is but I like it.


P8010207 by commodoreben, on Flickr
I got these at a local discount store. A Baja Bullet and a Sahara Survivor


P8010208 by commodoreben, on Flickr
A pair of Desert Thunder V16’s. Can anyone spot the error on the bottom truck?


P8010209 by commodoreben, on Flickr
And lastly a Dune Dog
 
I think I went a little overboard at first buying hot wheels this year, and believe I'm going to buy more of what makes sense to maybe build dioramas. I really want to build a RedBull race shop, and maybe Vermont Motorsports Subaru shop.
 
Your three wheeled van is a Daihatsu Midget I Ben.
The Daihatsu Midget II is quite well known in the Gran Turismo series for being silly.

And of course for it's name. :lol:
 
Went to Wal Mart yesterday and i got a pink Bubble Gunner and Navy 56' Chevy with flames both in the Hot Ones series, and i also got a light brown vehicle called "Haulin' Gas" in the Carvel ice cream series of the Hot Wheels Nostalgic Brands. Didn't find any errors, treasure hunts or anything out of the ordinary.:indiff:
 
Stopped at a few stores this morning. Nothing at Target, found a couple cars at the first Wal-Mart, but hit the jackpot at the last Wal-Mart with new N-Case cars and the new Wal-Mart exclusive 10 car set with the redline tires. However, I showed great restraint and didn't buy a single car! Was so hard to walk away from it all. :nervous: I did search for TH's and Supers, but not a single one. Judging by the condition of the area, it looked like I had been the first one there, so I think an employee snagged them. 👎

Anyway, got something here you might want to keep an eye out for:

I'm guessing you are planning on getting the master set since you walked out on those? At least you restrained yourself from purchasing some of the new stuff, I'm going to have to do that if I get myself that project car. :ouch:

Was that McLaren F1 found ON THE PEGS!? :eek: Thought it was only back in 2011! I'll pony up the money to buy those. :D
 
Yeah, on the pegs. Was the only one, which sucks because the corner is crunched.

All the new stuff had the new Viper, black BMW Z4, etc. I just hope I can actually get the master set, because if I don't it's going to be super hard to find all these cars I'm skipping over.
 
Would that mean the F1's still being released as...maybe a left-over casting? :odd: Or was it just be a left over possibly for your store? :nervous:

Think I'll keep purchasing them in the stores if I get the project car. (Need to save up for an engine and transmission....and other mechanicals) I do hope you are able to get the master set. 👍 My store hasn't updated in a while...and the pegs are still quite full. (For Walmart, haven't checked Target in a while. Since for some reason they get the newer stuff before the other stores. Which is rare. :lol:)

Edit: Congrats on 21k posts, R1600 :D

That store didn't have either of those in stock.

Here's your Mars rover:

Also, this could potentially be our first look at a 2013 $uper TH.
Man that Mars Rover is awesome!:drool: Personally i kinda like the Soujouner Mars Rover from the action pack better, but this one is awesome to! I can't wait to get this one!:dopey:
 
Yep i like it! Totally awesome! Thanks for posting the pictures R1600Turbo! Now i know what to look for! I think i may keep the blister package for it because that is one i will treasure for a long time!:)
 
I have that McLaren F1, but I wish it was part of the Boulevard or Garage series, with rubber tires. Can you imagine how awesome "Hachiroku" would've been, if it was part of those series instead of the "80's"? Mars Rover may not look epic, but still cool enough to buy two for me. :)
Some more Tomicas just arrived from the same guy I got the last lot of capsule Tomicas from.
Some of those Tomicas you got there, they are the actual vehicles I used to see on the road, when I was a toddler in Japan! I especially love the police car. 👍 I recall seeing the three-wheeled truck just once, and thinking what a weird car it was. :lol: And I don't know if you caught this, but the red Subaru is a postal/mail truck. Hamburger Shop Bus is an absolute riot, because it features arguably the all-time most popular manga/comic/anime character in Japan, Doraemon. A lot of "throwback" Japan items!
 
I think that the Tomicas I have coming are even better than those Spacegoat. He are some more pics.


P8020186 by commodoreben, on Flickr
A Spin King on a regular card, a blue ZL1 Camaro and a 2010 Toyota Tundra all of these are 2012 Premiere's


P8020187 by commodoreben, on Flickr
A white and a Orange BMW 2002


P8020188 by commodoreben, on Flickr
A Orange Motne Carlo SS from the 2012 HW Performance series and a Corvette Grand Sport from the 2012 HW Main Street series


P8020189 by commodoreben, on Flickr
I mainly got this pack for the Falcon, Corvette and 69 Camaro exlusive. This was the first time I have seen a XB Falcon on the shelf in any form in a normal retail stall down here.


P8020191 by commodoreben, on Flickr
I got this pack for the Falcon, Mad Manga and the new Camaro.

I WANT THAT MCLAREN GTR!!!!! :eek:👍

And I have to say Jason, what you did by restraing yourself from buying any new HWs is... How should I say this...pure cold turkey ownage. :eek:

Soon, I have to do it myself for getting my STi, Evo and/or a cheap project car and for school! I hope I can find the other cars soon like the Viper, 599XX and the other eluding cars. :nervous:

Congrats on the 21K posts also. :gtpflag::D

Sorry for getting off topic, but what type of car are you planning to get for the project? I'm just wondering, since I'm looking at a either a S13 coupe/hatchback, AE86 or a Mk3 Supra for daily/track/drift car.

R1600Turbo
Same thing. ;)

By the way, search eBay for that car. You can buy one right now for the super low price of $200.

O__o A New HW car for $200!!!!! WTF?!?! :eek:

Now this is blowing my mind now, why would someone buy a new car for that amount of money is beyond me. :ouch:

Went to Walmart to get some household products tonight, so I paid the HW section a visit to browse at what they got in stock. And then right there standing in my face is.......

The faster than ever 2012 Mazda Fuari!!!! And on top of that, my first Furai in my collection! And if anyone knows, I found a 2012 New Model of a Porsche Boxster Roadster 987/981?:D

So I placed it in the cart and started skimming the pegs and found another one and a few more cars that I was looking for, and they don't have the 80's AE86 neither :grumpy:, but they had alot of the 70's GTX's, one 00's ZR1 Vette, and a 90's Mustang LX foxbody. For the Matchbox cars, barely anything, but I have found the 997 GT3 Porsche (no chrome wheels, only orange).

Man, did anyone here ask the stockers in Heckmart sometimes? Because all of the other stores tell me when they get shipments in or tell me to come back in a week or two, but I asked a guy there in the toy department and he didn't even tell me when they get new shipments or even check back in a week or tomorrow. I barely ask the workers in that store, some of them give me strange looks sometime like they never seen a collector before. :odd::lol:

But at least I met another collector at the lines tonight, he was pretty cool and collects many other scales also. And telling where i can find some of the rarer cars at as well. But he's getting back collecting HWs also. I have to say, HW is doing an amazing job in the past few years, even bringing back guys/men ranging from the teens all the way to seniors into buying them, even racecar drivers, tuners and journalists in auto mags talk about HWs and what they are doing with the auto/tuning/racing industry.

Here are the other cars that I picked up:

Lancer Evo X (in purple)

Honda Civic Si FG2 x2

Lancer Evo VII GSR

Pontaic Firebird Trans Am '73 x2

Buick GSX

302 Laguna Seca (in blue, but not my black version :(.)

Dodge Charger 426 SuperBee '71

Renault Megane GT

Some good cars for my birthday, late Bday purschases (I'm 23 now, Bday was July 31st.)

Edit: Great cars you have there Ben. Love the Crown Police Car and the Cedric from Tomica the most. 👍

I've posted in other threads in the Cars in General forum. But...since it might be too much effort to click your way there, I'll post it here. :P

Back to Hot Wheels/Matchbox now. Or Tomica. Speaking of that Daihatsu Midget I, I'd love to get the Midget II. It's been in my heart ever since I was introduced to the Gran Turismo series. :lol:

Or...this interesting purple color. :sly:

Anyone want some minty, loose Toyota MR2's? Found them on eBay after bidding on a couple Miata's from the same seller. Tried to get him to sell me all the Miata's and the MR2's in a single lot, but he wants to sell them all separately since "there's a lot of people watching them".

I'm only in for a few of the Miata's, but if someone wants the MR2's I can give you the link.
