Harry: I see your white Lancia in the pic! :D

Medigo: 1) I can't believe you are familiar with Cima. Talk about obscure, outside Japan. 2) Does the F40 has the big-ass Ferrari emblem on the hood?

Now to find one on my own, which will probably have a 99.99999% chance of not happening.

An error that got away? Truly heartbreaking, I'm sure. Makes me sad just hearing about it. :P
 
Got my recent eBay purchase in the mail today. :)

Oh screw you.

You know the worse part? I TOTALLY forgot. I wanted like 3 MR2s and it just fwoooosh, went over my head. Next day I logged in to E-Bay and was like oh 🤬
 
I went into one of my local toy stores recently and i seen a packaging errored chevy impala that was originally from the pinstripe power series but it said x ray cruisers series and it had the name of some jaguar instead on the blister pack. It was kinda awkward. By the way R1600Turbo there were a bunch of them miatas there to!:dopey:

Good. :D

The other two cars I wanted went for $6.50 and $6.75 which is more than I wanted to spend on them. This one I was willing to go higher than the amount I got it for.
 
Got my package from commodoreben today! My mom said "DID YOU BUY SOMETHING FROM AUSTRALIA!!??" Of course, I told her I traded. So she has to suck it up. :lol: Thanks Ben! I'll send my stuff ASAP! Especially since I finally found what you wanted today. The Tomicas are great! Though a LOT smaller than what I was expecting. Even from Ben's pictures. :lol: JDM classics though, love it. Looks to be the same size as my 1:87 scale Dodge Viper SRT-10.

Apologies for the lighting, my computer room only has one light..a desk lamp.

Went to Target after a disappointing hunt at TRU and the flea market. Before work that is, not the morning run. And I have to say, surprise surprise, Target does have the N-Case cars. Maybe it might just become my new hunting ground, since I've run into scalpers and un-sociable collectors in Walmart. :grumpy: That's my night-time after work hunting spot, while I think I'll make Target my day-time hunting ground. :lol: Boy was I glad I went to Target. :D Again, sorry for the lighting.

-Black BMW Z4 M
-FIRST EVER T-HUNT!!!! :eek: I have seen them before, but never in the actual retail store! Though it's fantasy and I'm sure the value isn't much and won't be much probably in the future. I had to get it, it was a milestone to find one in the store that hasn't been snagged already. (Surf Crate) Woo hoo! :dopey:
-Red WRX STI (Makes me think...and want the Focus RS All Stars)
-Of course, with the new N-Case stuff, I had to get the 2013 Viper. One for Ben, one for me to open, and one for me to keep in the package. Such a fan of the Viper. :D
-The Bat, had to get one after seeing the movie. I'd consider it...slightly realistic. :lol: Only one I found on the pegs, at least...from how "hard" I looked through them. I'd get a second to keep in package or open, but I'm afraid it might turn out to be like the Mad Manga. Found it once, never see it again (in the purple).
-Mazda Furai with FTE2. :yuck: Had to get it though, really wished I didn't skip over the grab bag at the flea market that had the New Models edition. :guilty:
-Rescue Holden Ute for Ben. :)
-Another chrome wheel variation MB Porsche 911 GT3. Saw two at Walmart a couple weeks ago, but they're long gone. There was also a metal exhaust variation Tooned VW Beetle, but didn't take it.

Overall a good hunt on the way to work! First T-Hunt, and lovely N-Case stuff. :D


Forgot to add... I seem to have found out what happened to all the Dan Wheldon DW-1 cars in Maine... Seems like they all ended up in the hands of a scalper who probably eBayed some and put a couple in the indoor flea market for EIGHT dollars. Ugh. :crazy: I hate that vendor, all the other ones are cool and put everything up for $1. Even Hot Ones and Boulevards.


Medigo: 1) I can't believe you are familiar with Cima. Talk about obscure, outside Japan. 2) Does the F40 has the big-ass Ferrari emblem on the hood?

Of course I know the Nissan Cima. Absolute love the car. :D One Japanese-luxo sedan I'd rock. And yes, the F40 does have a huge-ass Ferrari emblem on the hood. Could try and find the picture.

Edit: Awesome Miata R1600, loving the black.

Hey frogman dunno if you'll see this but commerce target has a good supply of 599xxs, new model zo6s, both tuned vw beetles, and the bentley continental in stock. I picked up a furai for my brother and thats it :/
 
So I tried two Wal-Marts a few days ago, relatively disappointing results. A few cool older cars, like the Decades AE86, IMSA Monza, Hot Ones GT40, but nothing else too interesting. I did find a red STi hatch and a yellow 911 GT2, which I hadn't seen before, but I don't know what case they're from. Is there a way to find out what's in what case without sitting through a Youtube video where a dude holds each car up to the camera for 30 seconds for no reason?
 
I've still never seen the Bentley! I want it so bad... :(

I'm afraid that's the only way to find out about new cases...in a more direct manner. There's always HWC.com, but sometimes it's not always clear about what's actually in the case. Unless you're really impatient, you can always buy yourself a case. :P

I'm looking for a 599xx with OH5 wheels. Keep an eye out?

Without seeing the box, no. Those cars are from the N-case.

I think the red STi is the latest one besides the red STi with the Walmart exclusive redline one(or whatever the red striped tire ones are). I think the red lines are just starting to get to the stores now, just my impression.

Decades 86, Hot Ones GT40's are almost always there at some of my local Walmart stores.
 
Forgot to add, the vendor with the overpriced cars is also selling the Designer's Challenge cars for $2 a car. Worth it...? Quite interested in just the Lotus...
 
@r1600

Ill try, but ive only seen the standard 599xx at two stores and each with the regular FTE 1 five spokes it usually comes on. The wheels youre talking about are the ones on that california you found right?
 
Edit: Might be coming home with a display case this weekend to house all my open cars. Will need to make some more shelves for it, but it's enclosed so they can stay dust free. 👍

Actually the standard wheels on the 599xx are MC5's.

Edit: The best way to tell between the two is that you can see through OH5's, and you cannot see through MC5's.

I'm looking for this one:

thanks , wait both beetles? new and old?

Despite finding my first ever treasure hunt in stores that hasn't already been scalped or just taken. I don't really care much for it being a fantasy car... Could possibly trade it...

Belive it was the red "custom beetle" and the "tooned" one in the heat series with the huge engine in the rear
 
Went to a different walmart only to be disappointed with very old stock

Then out of the corner of my eye i spotted the top of a card... Lo and behold an 80s card! So with much anthusium i dug for it and to my chagrin it was the pontiac fiero >.>

Talk about the stock trolling me
 
Read the post again. I'll bet you $10 you don't have that one.

Dude whats up with you thinking we cant find them. I found that Ferrari Italia you said was so hard to find not even trying ,Yes i have three open hole spoke ones. But since you insist I don't have it then fine i wont sell it to you..
