1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[McZachenF1138]

That's what I did and got the Caravan. At a closer look I noticed the tampos were jacked on the T-Bucket.
Upon purchasing five cars at Walmart, I told the cashier that there were five and she rung one up and multiplied that by five. So I basically got a Boulevard for 97¢.

2013 $uper TH #3 is..........

The XB Falcon. Again.

Also, apparently that website (T-Hunted) knows what the 4th $uper is going to be, and all they said was:

We also know what is the fourth "Super" in 2013 , but that you will have to wait a little longer to see photos. We can only say that fans of Japanese cars will love the model!

Hmmmm, Japanese car...

I'm staring at the Dodge Caravan, '49 Drag Merc, Nash Metro Drag Car, and T-Bucket Boulevards at Walmart. Buy or no buy?

All of it. Boulevards are pretty hot wheels and are hella well-built.

Speaking of the Caravan, I have the first edition way back from 1998. I'm so glad I took pretty damn good care of it too because it's still in a near-mint condition.

Wish I got one of the boulevard Caravans. I also had the original with the 5SPs, unfortunately it's long gone from my childhood.

Aw don't cry. Here's a picture of mine to cheer you up.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Found the only Toys R Us exclusive GT3 RS they had; I came across four A-Team vans by themselves on a different shelf from the cars, so I got two; I've only seen black Gremlins, so I was quick to pick up this silver one; Look what I found Kevin! (give you a hint, it's orange) And another One-77. Buuttt...

It's funny you just posted that, McZachenF1138. Someone on HWC just found the hard to find variation to it. Here's his pic.

Cars in the pic have MC5 wheels. Yours has PR5 wheels.

Like this one I found at Target! It's the hard to find variation!

And I got this too, but mainly for the clip. I'm customizing a '47 Fleetline to look just like the one my grandfather has in real life and am going to give it to him for Christmas.

Are these pretty uncommon to ya'll? They are for me.

I saw it once, looked hard at it, didn't buy it. I think it was right around when I started to really slow down collecting Hot Wheels.

I regretted not getting it, I think I went back the next day or something, and it was still there! I bought it, and it's been one of my favorite cars since.

Only one I ever saw in stores!

P.S. I went by Target today, and saw a red line STi. I thought that was Walmart exclusive? Maybe it was mispackaged.

 

[AOS-]

No wonder there was a sudden rise in the other One-77s in the stores I've been in recently..... it seems like whenever I find an abundance of a certain car, I learn about a wheel variation later. Like that 396 Chevelle SS TH...

Haha, niiiiiiiice. 👍

2013 $uper TH #3 is..........

The XB Falcon. Again.

WTF!!! Waste of a spot for countless other cars they could've used.

Or someone returned it.

Oh then you won't have a problem picking up that TH for me when you find one, now wouldn't you?

 

[Spacegoat]

2013 $uper TH #3 is..........

The XB Falcon. Again.

Glad to see the XB back, but I don't like color scheme at all, I much prefer'd last year's purple & white scheme.

 

[McZachenF1138]

^I do as well. In fact, I picked that one up tonight.

Edit: To anybody...
Why do people call them "$uper Treasure Hunts" when they're actually called "Mainline Limited Edition"?

 

[AOS-]

Because the community said so!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Actually, they're actually called a $uper TH. Or they were until 2012.

 

[AOS-]

Are you sure they're not just changing the names so TH hunters with no web access don't know?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Picked this up last night:

And here is MY photo of the Matchbox I picked up:

 

[McZachenF1138]

Satin white?! Wow, nice find!
The more I look at that Exige, the more I think I have the same one.

 

[CodeRedR51]

This color is new, so probably not. It's been released in several colors before though. Unless you picked yours up recently.

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

Oh then you won't have a problem picking up that TH for me when you find one, now wouldn't you?

If you have another $uper in trade for it, then sure!

Another Opening Ceremony - I had this one for too long unopened - but merely because I didn't have time for the proper diorama when I unpacked it. However, the constant stream of pics I'm getting about Endeavour right now piggy-backing on that 747 is so captivating that I decided the time was right to spring MatchBox's Endeavour out and give it its maiden voyage, while the real one was being sent to pasture.

And finally . . . a spare that I opened for the Coke 500 to be scheduled soon at the Harrisville Speedway

 

[McZachenF1138]

I decided to take a video of my current to date carded Hot Wheels only collection.

 

[AOS-]

No deal! No deal! *smashes the red button*

Love the space shuttle Harry. 👍
I used to have the Corgi moonraker shuttle when i was a kid, the MB looks way more accurate as a shuttle, but i used to love the folding landing gear and opening payload bay of the Corgi.

 

[Takumi Fujiwara]

Tried my local WalMart the other day. They don't even HAVE Boulevards or anything anymore, the only non-mainline cars were some decades. The big WM here was already like that then I checked a few months ago.

Am i the only one that really likes the HW BMW 2002, in the new green colour?

 

[Sonygamer455]

Same here, i only seen it once and there was only one available i think. I was rather lucky to get it because i have to be monitored on my spending and i was going rather overboard that day because i had several other hot wheels in my hands. Needless to say stealth was the only way i ever managed to get it that day. This car has always been hard to find i think, it is pretty old to! It has been around since the redline era i think, used to be known as "Paddy Wagon" back then and it was pretty hard to find even then, now it has returned as "Copper Stopper" and it ain't easy to find ether. What a coincidence!

They have a Hot Wheel of that space shuttle as well! It's in one of them action packs, really awesome and highly collectible!

 

[CodeRedR51]

I might have some epic trades going. Trying to shed off some muscle car weight and gain some JDM/Euro weight.

It's a BMW 2002. I'd buy it in any colour.
