Me too! But no more off topic, if you want PM me.
 
Found an error and a hard to find variation this morning at Target and TRU.

2011 Grand Sport body on a 2012 Z06 base.

And the 10 spoke wheel variation of the Super Snake found in a 10 pack.

I have the Corvette, also one with all large wheels. And I've seen the Shelby, but keep passing on it. I'm not one to spend $10 on a whole gift pack just for one car, then have a bunch of spare cars I don't want.

I snapped a photo of one of those gift packs yesterday. Some idiot in my area is buying them, swapping out he cars with crap he finds at yard sales, and then returns them. Some people in this world sicken me. :yuck:
 
I don't know, I'm different. I collect every VHTF variation I see. If it's only HTF, then I leave them. The 10SP Shelby is pretty nice and much harder to find than the chrome TRAP5 wheel vari. that also shows up in multipacks. It was a must pick-up for me. :D I'll use it for trades, but if no one wants it, then I'll keep it and add it to the collection. The extra cars usually go to my little cousin, plus they make good donors.

He's currently playing with two reg. T-Hunts that I've given him. They're already chipped and dinged up. :P And I have yet to come across people doing the "switcheroo". Only seen ripped open blisters, that's about it. But yeah that's pretty lame. đź‘Ž
 
@madertus, where did you find that enzo?

In a Cash&Carry (Selgros to be exact) shop in Warsaw. In big shopping malls there are shops like Carrefour, Tesco etc. In these, there are of course toy alleys. In these, there are some pillar-ish Hot Wheels stands where you can literally dive to search some cars.

The one I found this in was FILLED with DeLoreans, including a lot of Back to the Future ones.

And that Bentley was the only one I found :sly:
 
Oh by the way guys. If any of you need R34 Skylines, Back to the Future Deloreans, A-Team vans, etc. I know a few stores with a TON of them. Could pick some up for those in need.
 
Nope. I have a Barska 60mm đź‘Ť

That reminds me, I have a 3.5" Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain packed up somewhere at my parents' house, I should dig it up sometime.

Come to think of it, I just remembered that I'm taking astronomy this semester lol. Sounded more interesting than any of the other physical sciences classes I could've taken for the degree requirement.

Really? Sweet! When you get your telescope up, post some pics!

It'll be a while, since I live six hours away from them right now, and don't have room to store it at my current place. I need to figure out what to do with the mount too, I have a motorized one but I left batteries in the pack years ago and they melted, so I guess i need a new battery pack before I can use it. I'm moving back to the same city in a few months so hopefully I can do something with it then.

Melted battery pack. Oh well. Anyways, no more off topic, just pm me.
 
awesome stuff

Duuuuude such a score! Where did you get all that stuff? Was it all together? How much? There are a lot of cars that are pretty damn rare and hard to find there, some rare brands! The big Matchboxes andd Corgis are specially sweet.

I used to collect corgis when i was 10, still got them! I stopped collecting them after a while and thats were my endless collection of hot wheels started and is still growing to this day!:)
 
Yeah they're just about all over now. I've been checking them all for missing tampos though.

One i got is missing the roof one and the snake logo on all but one is all smeared -.- lol well theACR viper was by far the worst , Finding one with GOOD hood tampos was like finding an error, all of them were sloppy!
 
I could be interested in some R34s, im going out to san diego this weekend so i may make a stop at prestige hobbies on my way out to see if they have anything new

Hey, I'm the same may myself and guess what? I'm 23!

I'm glad that I'm different and not following what others do, it's makes you 'unique' in a way and doing what YOU like, not thinking what others say :).

That's why I love collecting HW, MB and model cars and action figures and creating up scenes from a movie, game or a comic book with my figures and a showroom or a race track look for my cars. They do decorate a 20 year-old guy's room or pad very nicely and can be a great conservation piece(s).

Sorry to get off topic though.

What the heck?!?! :facepalm::lol:

Now what moron would do a thing like that and the store is letting him go off like that? If I saw a package like that, I wouldn't even glance at it, even if you paid me.

Some people.

How many R34 GTRs do the stores have? If you can find four, two in Bayside Blue and Active Silver, please let me know. I gotta find mah BNRs! :eek:

Thanks Jason.

Not fair, I'd be willing to trade of them. Want any more variants on the GT3 w/ Chrome wheels? :P But yeah, I'd like some. Maybe even a BTTF Delorean.
