I remember having this 69' Nova great hotwheel- untill it lasted

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.

hahaha, I'm on those too, bud. The one with yellow and red flames as picture backgrounds, right? I've got like 20 cars off the guy. You might have some competition on the black one.

 

[Spacegoat]

I think that the Tomicas I have coming are even better than those Spacegoat.

Nice, looking forward to seeing those. 👍 And the 10 pack with the XB Falcon.

My latest additions.

I really should get the 911 GT3. Everytime I see it, I'm like "oh, that's nice...", but I never get it. Just not a big Porsche fan, but if I don't get it, I feel like I'm gonna regret it. It is pretty!

The black Miata? Damn you sir.

You can have the MR2's.

haha sorry, of the ones I'm missing it's the only one I really like. I also have several of the MR2s, but I want a couple of them, mainly the red and pink cars. Pretty difficult to find. I also want some of the Cadoos, but those are gettin' expensive.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah that black one is hard to find. I only saw it one other time and it was still packaged with the whole set. If you're going to bid on it, I'm not even going to bother.

 

[Cano]

Well I'll try to. I don't want to pay too much for it, really. I already owe the guy like 40 bucks but I do want to see what else he puts there. There are some really hard to find variations in his listings. All the cars I've gotten off him are cars I'm missing, there's no bulk-repeat buying here, all the cars off this guy are for my collection.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I don't want to pay too much either. I already put an entry bid on it, but if you and me keep bidding we're just going to make it cost one of us more than it needs to. I'm just trying to collect all the different Miata's, and chances of this one popping up again by itself are pretty slim. I already let the Zamac one slip through my fingers.

 

[Cano]

don't worry, I wont bid on it until the last moment. No point on making it go higher a day and a half before it's all over.

I could get you a chrome wheel variation one.

Edit:

People have already posted their pictures of the H-Case boulevards. Want the 914-6 with wantanabes. But my Walmart's boulevards date back to the Shelby GR-1.

Must have the orange wheels!!!! They appeal to me for some reason.

From the youtube vid, only "must" get is the 914. T-Bucket(yellow ) & GTO are game time decision. If I like what I see, I'll buy them.

 

[Takumi Fujiwara]

Local stores have been pretty slow on stock lately. TRU got the set with the Boxster Spider recently, and I finally found a Matchbox GT3 and a Caterham in a color other than black (yellow), but otherwise I haven't seen anything good. I still really want a black RX7 and a Mad Manga.

 

[MedigoFlame]

It's odd how I've only seen the Mad Manga when it first came out in Target. After that, I don't think I've seen it ever again. (It did disappear the next MONTH I stopped by Target) No where in Toys R Us and no where in Walmart. I actually wouldn't mind getting a second purple Mad Manga. And...Takumi Fujiwara, if you really want a black RX-7, I have two. Before the stock changed to the blue RX-7, I managed to find one more at Walmart.

 

[a6m5]

Black RX-7 & Mad Manga are plentiful in my area. When Fujiwara first mentioned Black RX-7, I totally spaced it, I thought he was talking about some old release 90's RX-7.

 

[TheeFrogmanlego]

Remember that "box" under my bed with all my valuables.. ITS A GOLD MINE , I forgot how many awesome cars i had down there, =D
oh and im Puting my cars up on my wall using roofing panels, every other way sucked after a long hard days of searching and brain storming and i totally recommend this method, its by far the best there's no pegs , just slide em in and its by far the most space efficient =D

I might have to give in and try WalMart. I just hate going there and giving them my business, but I guess for a few HWs it's not the end of the world. Going out and searching is part of the fun for me so I probably won't end up buying any online, at least not until I know they're discontinued and that I won't find them in stores. (Still need to order a Mazda2, that reminds me...)

I'm not really that much of a Porsche fan either, but I absolutely love the blue/orange combo. Orange wheels ftw.

I see it from time to time, I better grab it next time for sure!

I used to not be a Porsche fan, and then I went to a huge Porsche event and totally fell in love with the brand. Now I buy every Porsche I see, and I wish HW or Matchbox would release some new vintage 911s.

The real problem is that I'm now thinking WAY too seriously about how I can get myself a REAL 911...

You can find alot of the older 911 Porsche cars 930/964/993/996s in the older series of HWs and MBs. They range from the Carerras, Turbos and even the 911 GT1s. But to find them, you have to check eBay, amazon, flea markets or scan every store to find some of the older ones(which is really rare and difficult). But never give up and keep looking until you find those 911s!

But look out for the 914-6 Porsche that's going to be in the HW Blvd series. I think Medigo posted a video of the car in one of his recent posts. Check it out, you'll love it.

Never hurts to go to Walmart and look for some cars. It is a lot more fun going out to stores and hunting than looking online sometimes, especially when you have two flea markets in your area. Also speaking of that Mazda2, I'd love to find one myself.

Speaking of diecast cars based off of real ones that we own, I'm sure there is none of the US-spec 2003 Toyota Camry... But I would like to look at some diecast Toyota Crowns.

This one is definitely the one based off of the one I'm looking at.

Hard to tell if this one is the same model, but it looks about the same.

Anyone want to buy one for me?

 

[OtakuTaikun]

Awww poo i passed up pn the 914 the other day

 

[CodeRedR51]

Alright Cano, I'm in pretty high on that black Miata. If someone else wants it, I'm going to make them pay for it.

oh damn you dont.

EDIT: Holy hell 8 bucks! keep it. That's too much, at least now.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Is that you that bid up to $7.50?

 

[AOS-]

Nope. That was me.

[Cano]

Is that you that bid up to $7.50?

haha, no, I'm not into it yet.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Someone's going to jack up the price, I can feel it.

 

[Cano]

Of course, it's still a day and a half away. I'd say you'll be looking at 15 bucks or so.
