Flea Market Finds

All of the carded were 6/$5 except the Hauler and the Drag bus. They were $2.

I know very little about matchbox, but enough to know that when 27 year old carded Superfast are 85 cents a pop...you take them. And if they have them, you take the doubles as well!

I'm thinking 85 bad works per second now. What a price on those! :0 some of them I had never even seen!
 
Those cars bring back a lot of memories, diabolicalwyvern. Antonisbob - yeah, very 'Cannonball' - including the 'X' on the sign - remember? Wonder who is in the car? ;)

Talking about wheels . . . I feel like a yo-yo.

Are they CORGIs?

You need to mod those bikes - like this:

And since you're talking blisters.. . .

I had to finish that big opening:

017_zps528374c8.jpg


As you can see, I finally got to the last card - the Super Snake I had promised myself if I got through all the packages.

But opening all those muscles cars made me want to take some off my displays that had been calling for action for too long - some as many as a couple of years. So I harvested a few more favorites off the wall, and thought I might as well fill up my garages a bit:

More opened:

And almost down to the last bit now:

Finally everything opened except for the Super Snake, and the two Speed Machines.

And here's the Snake. Been wanting to unblister this for ages - finally got around to it:

And a few close-ups:

I decided against opening the Speed Machines; they were going back into Display Mode.

So this was my final haul - and a huge boost to my garage.
But . . . there is about two large clumps that have to be also opened soon.
More work. :)

Woah!!! Nice Kyoshos RCK :eek:. After. Seeing those cars and that amazing quality, you got me jelly all over now!

Hand some of them over! :sly:
 
^Wasn't talking to you.

I saw a few of those Kyoshos listed for $5. I might grab some, maybe next year. I'm not ready to dish out $5 so easily on a new series.
 
Thought I'd stop by the flea market this morning and Walmart as well. Turns out only one vendor updated their stock, but there were a couple finds I probably missed.

Majorette Toyota Lite Ace
Jada Mazda RX-8
Maisto Porsche Speedster (Had one as a kid, gosh why doesn't Maisto do things like these wheels again)
Delorean
Shelby GT500
MB Ford F-150 SVT Raptor (From Walmart)
Mini
 
I wheel swapped one of those Maisto Porsches a while ago, couldn't stand it with those tires. Is the Majorette van still France-made?

That's true, the wheels don't belong on the Porsche. But I liked it on the Chevrolet Avalanche that I used to have. And yes, the Majorette van is made in France. Unfortunately seems as though it's had someone etch random things onto it.
 
Anyone going to the K-Mart collectors day on the 3rd?

Here are the exclusive cars:

And if you buy 20 cars, mail in the card backs with the required $$ for shipping, you can get this:

Do you think that Galaxie will sport MC5 wheels?

I'd ask you to grab me one, but I really need to stop for buying for at least a month.
 
I would expect it to be exactly the same as the blue & orange ones that came out this year, except in green. That's the only one I am interested in, except for any other new releases that may be out. I'm thinking we'll see the new AE-86 at the event, and the '55 Chevy Gasser.
