Daaaah, here I was excited because I thought you bought the good stuff...

But you didn't.

They're good to me because most of them I had as a child and destroyed/lost them. They make me happy. Something is only as valuable as the owner makes it.

Oh so those are the exclusives! Very nice vehicles! Sorry when ya'll said exclusive was thinking of something different, my bad. How much are these sets anyway?

$100 + shipping from Walmart.com

$100 + shipping from Walmart.com

Well i don't think i will ever get my hands on one of those! I would never be able to pay such a huge price for it especially when i have to be monitored on my spending. I wish they had them exclusives in single packaging because i love that Hudson!

 

[CodeRedR51]

But then they wouldn't be set exclusives.

And like I said before, $100 for the 30 car set is actually cheaper than individual retail.

Went to a new Target got a Boulevard Vector W8 twin turbo they only had 2 of the vectors on the shelf.

Yep true! But still if i could get them somehow without paying so much i would.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just keep an eye on it. If they don't sell out, there's a chance they could go on sale and/or clearance sometime early next year.

Ferrari P4 (now I have three)
Ferrari F430 Challenge
Ferrari FXX

I actually almost picked up that Ferrari five pack today at Target purely for the 308 and P4.
My Target at least has Hot Wheels on sale for $0.92 and five packs for $4.99.

I'm uploading all the stuff I'm getting rid of shortly. Will post links when it's done.

I only picked it up for the FXX, but the P4 was a color I didn't have.
And where I bought it from it was $1.09 each and $6.49 for the five pack.

Bought it...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Mr. Money bags.

AOS strikes first on my available cars. Photos have been edited to show which cars are no longer available.

I only picked it up for the FXX, but the P4 was a color I didn't have.

There's a P4 single in the same paint scheme with 5SP wheels.

Thought I'd let you know.

I have three P4s, two are blue and this one is red.

Oddly, the blue ones have metal wheels and internals whilst the red one is 100% plastic.

Thought I'd also let you know I have one of these babies now:

...in red.... as well as a black Legacy B4. Yes it's Tomica.... Came in a pack of two, with two "heroes" (lol) for $7.99. Could have bought another one as well as another Exige. Should I? Anyone need one?

Wow! Im not exactly a Tomica fan but that car is awesome!👍

 

[OtakuTaikun]

Lol the legacy/orochi pack is great! Im more partial to the gvb/evo X two pack, but the exige is nice too

 

[AOS-]

There was a limited variety at the Toys R Us, but it was awfully nice they even had Tomicas in the first place. They used to have Majorette Racings as well as Matchbox, and they got none of those now. Walmart's killing them with the Toy Car biz.

 

[OtakuTaikun]

True that man. Its hard to even find some premium collectables at TRU. The tomica pegs in my local one are pretty much nonexistant plus the stock of basics is months old

 

[AOS-]

I bought these latest seven at the NYC TRU.
...
So yeah, dying.

 

[Sonygamer455]

I hope they don't go bankrupt!

Compared to the variety they had in 2011, they aren't doing as good any more, even if they are putting out 2013 stuff. I used to rely on TRU for a lot of cars Walmart never had last year, and since the beginning of 2012 (Premiere Aventadors and green NSXs), they've barely had anything compared to Walmarts here.

 

[CodeRedR51]

That Shelby 5-Pack is new, yes. Not sure if it's a '13 though. If there's a 2012 copyright on the back, then it's quite possibly a 2013.

 

[AOS-]

Packaging was the same as the 2012's.... I think it's a 2013 then.


edit: Pulled it out of the garbage bin. Doesn't say 2012 anywhere. Maybe the numbers fell off.

Found a video:



*presents Jelly Jar*, because I'm the first to get it.
