Found my OH5 wheel Ferrari 599xx!!!!!

Edit: Stopped at 1 Fry's (Kroger) grocery store tonight after work and found the following:

- Camaro Convertible Concept w/wide & skinny rear tires.

- Ferrari 599XX w/OH5 wheels. (store had 6 or 7 total of these, this was the only one with these wheels)
- Porsche Boxster Spyder w/missing windshield and major tampo slide.

Good to see you found what you're looking for! Ill go to fry's sometime.

I just got these Tomicas in the mail from Hong Kong.

Awesome, are you gonna free up the Toyota 7? I've been meaning to pick it up for a while, but since the convention is closing in I've lately put all my money into saleable stuff.

Wow wow wow..... Jason's variant/error Ferrari finds pretty cool. 👍 Did you see the new Mystery packs there yet?

And Ben's Tomicas. Kenmeri has Japanese 70's all over it, and Toyota 7 is just one of the coolest, and slickest throwback racers in my book. Very nice. 👍

Another 2013 $uper TH.

I don't like the new boxes they look so stale..

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah I don't like them either.

 

[a6m5]

Maybe it's like one of those things, they look lame on internet, but several months later, after seeing them for real, you are like "really, it's grown on me!". I'm kidding, it blows.

So I won couple of auctions, one of them needlessly, and the other one, I did a last minute snipe job, which I'm not proud of. Unfortunately, that's about the only way you could win an auction anymore on eBay.

First one was the Oldsmobile 442 Treasure Hunt from couple of years ago. I have the standard one, and this was the car that enticed me into collecting in the first place(I bought it for my nephew, he never got it ).

Only after I bid on this thing, eBay recommended bidding on the Super Treasure Hunt, so I had to get that one, too. I knew they existed, but had completely forgotten about it.

Oh, well. Now, I get all three.

 

[Spacegoat]

Yeah I don't like them either.

Same here. They look very plain and boring to me.

Also Ben. I'm seriously jelly of both the Tomica's you posted, especially the Toyota 7. Damn, that's nice. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Found a couple more '12 Z06 Corvette's tonight with Grand Sport bases. M-Power, need one?

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

Yezzzzzir.

Got some stuff for trade if you want to take a look.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yezzzzzir.

Sure.

These two were a weird find. They were hanging from the peg at the top, way in the back right together.

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

I found the Grand Sport body error the same way. All the way at the back with four other Z06's in a row. Pays to check.

Btw, PM sent.

Yeah I'm soooo jelly nao . The 599XXs and Ben's Toyota 7!!! OMG!!!!!! 👍

Loving those cars guys. I can't wait to find that Ferarri.

BTW, congrats on the eBay wins 👍.

Another 2013 $uper TH.

Yeah, I agree with everyone, these new packages look meh. They were doing great with the orange road underneath the cars on the 2011-2012 packages.

They should have added another city (like they did on the 2009 packages) background with a highway and/or a racetrack scene behind the car(s). Try to give it some life. Or with the Muscle Mania with a RoadRunner shooting down the drag strip or a Nissan 370Z drifting down the streets of Chinatown of a city at night for Nightburnerz. 💡

Sorry Cano the Toyota is going to stay in its box. I might get another one to open one day. I cant wait to see what you get at the convention and I hope you sell allot of cars aswell.

 

[locoman88]

[OtakuTaikun]

Omg guys im so ecstatic right now! Went to walmart 15 minutes before close and i FINALLY found my 80s hachi rokuuuuuuuu!

Plus a yellow gt2 (supah sexy), black z4m, and in the back of the pegs there was two srt vipers just chillin'. Picked up one since im so generous lol.

Was also interested in the jonny lightning cobalt pro-stock drag car, but passed. I was also looking at some of the jada toys super beefed up 4x4s. I think there was like an H2, Suburban, and some others with super detailed huge rubber tires. The models were held together by screws so i started wondering if i could transplant some of the detailed bead-locks and mud tires onto my tacoma which, although manly, could stand to get proper dirt tires.

Here's a good photo of the wheel difference on the Ferrari 599xx

 

[locoman88]

What's the difference.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Man, you need to get your eyes checked.

 

[locoman88]

All I see is how dark the red is. By the way, where'd you find the "wheel" one you wanted?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Look at the wheels, they are clearly different.

Found mine at Fry's grocery store. (Kroger brand)

 

[locoman88]

All I see is the rims are longer. Anyways, you're not talking about fry's electronics store?

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, the bottom one has wheels with skinnier spokes, they also seems to be hollowed out inside.

You guys seen Hot Wheel's new motorcycle line? Almost bought Ducati, but the figures(riders) on those things are so hideous, I decided against it. I put it back for the 80's Hachiroku, a second one so I can open this one? I put that back, too.

I finally decided on this:

DC Comic series Flash car. I have no idea why, but I've been attracted to this car for awhile now. Cheapest I've seen them is $3.49, so I never bought one. It's not premium build like Boulevard or Garage, so I didn't think it was worth it. Walmart I went to today sucked so bad, they didn't give me much of a choice.

 

[CodeRedR51]

What a6m5 said. I can clearly see the difference. If you can't, then you just don't want to I guess. Or you're playing hard to get which is annoying.

Fry's Electronics is the same company, but different type of store. The regular Fry's is just food, mostly.
