Did you check for the $uper version of that Torino?

I did, but I think I got the only Torino in the bin anyway. Same goes for the BMW and the Pigs. There were lots of 458s (no triple black ones though), Nissan Titans, Nomads, and F1 Racers.
 
That reminds me, I've been wanting to photograph the valuables of my collection for a while now. :D
 
I think you may have us all on that one Ace. :dopey:

I'll start small and work my way up. As well as provide commentary below each picture.


All the 2012 Mystery Models that I wanted.


These ones aren't really valuable obviously, just different.


All of the Decades that I wanted.


Treasure Hunt Midnight Otto that I stupidly painted the roof of when I was younger. :grumpy:


Deroa pin that I found in a box of useless Hot Wheels at a flea market.


Heavyweights Cement Mixer that my girlfriend's eight year old sister just had!
I practically had a heart attack when I saw it, let alone its condition! :drool:
I have her a nice $20 bill for it.


The base almost completely untarnished.


Showing the excellent condition of its wheels.
Plastic is not faded or worn whatsoever and has nice crisp corners.


This is the only blemish on the whole thing; those little spots on the windshield.


What small amount of Boulevards I have. I NEED to get them all. :yuck:
As well as a MLE S2000, two Treasure Hunts, rare OH5 wheel variation Aston One-77, Larry's Garage flea market find, and a Saturday Evening Post Norman Rockwell Blazer.


And my prized piece, a Larry Wood autographed blister.


Close-up showing its authenticity.


I do have more things not photographed as I may or may not know where they are back at home. :crazy:
That includes:
A close-to-poor condition dark blue 1973 Double Header RL.
Spectraflame dark green 30th Anniversary Deora.
Spectraflame red 25th Anniversary Red Baron.
Spectraflame magenta and green 30th Anniversary Mongoose and Snake.
Rare tampo variation of the Mercedes C111, but with broken door.
Moderate condition ZAMAC Funny Money
Moderate condition Warpath RL.
And I think that's about it. :D

OK, I found enough excuses to swing by Target. :D Also, my online order came in today as well:





I found 370Z + Tacoma, which thanks to you guys posting pics, I knew what I was looking for(👍). Also found this Fiesta, which was an automatic 'yes'. As for the online order, my usual classic American stuff, but with a twist. They looked nice online, but in person...... :drool: I'm so glad I followed through.

If anyone's interested, I went to the same place I brought from last time: Milezone

Edit:

Some real cool ones there, McZ, but I REALLY fancy that S-TH S2000!!!!!

That is pretty amazing. That thing is minty.
 
I'm still not 100% convinced it's real. :lol:

Edit:
Just took this of these two beauties.
Why didn't you guys tell me my phone was capable of these kinds of pictures?! :crazy:

Great picture, McZachen. 👍

Damn awesome collection, too - the Mixer is fully worth the $20.00 (just because she had it anyway. ;) Nice Otto, too. I see you have a Fiero . . . and a Bone Shaker. Hmmmmm.

AOS- Got a message for you pinned on the board, back at the Club.

a6m5 - How dare you bring out those redlines. And that Superbird . . .:grumpy:

Cano has what you might call a........ unlimited ammo.

I've been thinking of taking pictures of the cars I have in exhibition. that's like the creme of the creme of my stuff... at least what I can put there. I'll eventually get to it.

Remember what they say. Using Instagram doesn't make you a photographer. ;) :lol:

Anyway, stopped back at that Dollar Tree this morning and they had about 14 pegs STUFFED with cars. They were of the N-Case variety and I scored on 3 Surf Crate TH's (which are promptly going on the 'Bay) but no $upers. :(

Will I post a pic of each? Most certainly not. I will upload a pic of each and you guys can surf through my photobucket for it.
 
I see a few I NEED! :P

Edit: Forgot to mention, just bought one of the opening doors DeLoreans from the HWC site. Back-ordered until January, but that's ok with me. Gives me time to save the money for it.

Just finished taking pictures of each one. Ugh! But I'll let you guys feast one this for the time being. A split transaction and the count is 52 cars, most I've ever spent in one go.
