Of the Garage set.

Oh... I'll try my best with my 🤬 camera. :ouch: Close ups of single cars or maybe a row of manufactures. Although, it doesn't hurt to google search a picture. :P

What are these Tomica sets you speak of and how much are they?

The "starter pack" that comes with two cars (or vehicles, mainly construction) and a paper map. $2 at Tuesday Morning, but the full price is $5.

The pack on the right:

Oh, also stopped by Toys R Us and found that they finally got a Tomica Nissan GT-R. Went to New Hampshire to get mine... :lol: If anyone wants one?

Ah I can't find a place that shows each variation. Oh well.

I'll pass on the GT-R as well. Thanks for offering though.

Wow, that auction on the 6 Road Racers is up to $80. I think this is something I can profit from myself.

So you'd be more comfortable paying $3.50 for the car with $3.49 shipping, instead of $.99 for the car and $3.49 shipping. :odd::lol:

Welcome to ebay. đź‘Ť
 
Another thing I forgot to add... In Toys R Us, they actually got new Hot Wheels Racing models! Although it was basically just the Stockcar line with the Ford Galaxie, '40 Ford Coupe, '56 Merc, Plymouth Fury, and Chevrolet Impala.
 
Anyone intrested/ know how to value them?

I'm not interested but great collection. đź‘Ť It's a shame they're not entirely mint (some do look like they are though), and would have been even better had they still had the box.

[EDIT] Nevermind.

Like R1600 said though, you're probably best to get advice off Cano, as the older stuff is his area of expertise. đź‘Ť

Sorry to hear that man. Things do change over time though.
Well thats what my dad thought 24 years ago, but it still hasn't happened.:indiff: I hope it does soon!:dopey:
Let's hope you inherit some of those cool cars down the line. :D
Yea i sure hope i can, he still remembers some of the ones he used to have, he's even told me some of them.:drool: He used to be about as big of a collector as i am now. He could literly go and get Hot Wheels anytime he wanted to back then, he had a shop not far from where he used to live(which doesn't exist anymore:indiff:) he went to all the time and got Hot Wheels from, collecting was never a problem for him. Custom Fleetside, Custom Camaro, Seasider, Skyshow Deora, he probly had them all because he talked like he bought every car he could find.:drool: However he doesn't even know if they are still around anywhere or not, but if they are.....

Man ya'll all are in for something!:sly:
 
Let's hope for the best! :D
Glad to see that Ben got his stuff and the cards still look straight! :D

Was able to stop by Tuesday Morning on the way home from school. Unfortunately to not arouse suspicion, I bought one... But I plan on buying another once my paycheck comes in this week. So no worries a6m5! And they are the same exact packages. Here's my rather crappy picture of it.

If the second set turns out to be sold by the time I get there, I could still send some of the cars loose.
Awesome, I appreciate you trying. đź‘Ť I'd really like to have it, but it's not like it's the end of the world if I don't get it. If I cry myself to sleep for a night or two, I should be as right as rain.

Not the first time I've heard that either. I wouldn't hesitate necessarily if the shipping was more than the cost of the item itself!? You gotta look at the whole package. Is it worth the total price or not? Add 'em up, break 'em down, what matters is, are you willing to pay the total? Of course, I didn't pay for the shipping on the car. :P

P.S. Your Garage cars are on the way. Shipping came to $5.65. Priority, because it was something like just 10, 15 cents more. Computer says you should expect it Saturday. Please PM me your email address so I can PayPal the difference to you. đź‘Ť

P.P.S. Fred Meyers(Kroger Grp) finally got those Mystery Speed-things. Display is absolutely packed full. All RX-7's are gone. Not one in the case. Thanks again big buddy. :D
 
I'm too busy too post pics now, but I wanted to tell you guys I got a blue Ferraru 333SP Speed Machine from a parcel on wednesday and just got the Kyosho McLaren F1 GTR in black :P

Found another Hakosaku from digging in the same bin a 3rd time,
 

You know, the white RX-7 that came in mystery bags.

I love Ferraru and Hakosaku! You are not busy, there are no such cars!

:P
 
Wrong! Hakosaku, maybe. Definitely not Ferraru. Not unless he's talking about Furai!

Edit: I love French..... Furai.

I'll get me coat.
