@McZ and R1600: You guys found the AE86 of 2013 ALREADY?!

Not sure of either saying congrats or let my inner Cano unleash.......

 

[CodeRedR51]

Heads up guys, the Super Speeder packs at Kroger stores are on sale for .84 cents with a shoppers card. If anyone here doesn't have a Kroger store near them, I picked up a few white RX-7's if you need one...

Edit: If not, let me know cause they'll be going on the 'bay.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Yes, I need one of those!

 

[AOS-]

This one?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yes.

 

[AOS-]

Well, that photo's mine, so I won't need one.

Go on Vspec, unleash your inner Cano, you know you want to.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Do they have any of the Cougar Eliminators?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Maybe. Would have to go back and check. Will do on Friday when I head that direction for the meet.

 

[AOS-]

Do they have any of the Cougar Eliminators?

I can sell you the 3 I have. Gray, green, orange.

 

[McZachenF1138]

The green one is the Holiday one correct?

 

[AOS-]

No. I only have mainline Eliminators.... of '12 and '13. You probably have them though.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Oh, no. I'm not interested in the those ones, especially the 2013.

 

[McZachenF1138]

These here were posted over at the Lamley Group a few hours ago.

R34 is a must have, and Stunt is a interesting one. Focus would've been a very cool model for me, but really Mattel? Really? Instead of automatic 2, or 3 purchase, it's gonna be a game time decision.

Is that Shelby a new cast? I'd never thought I'd see lace wheels again.

So going to grab 5 of those, the Skyline and Focus.

If I don't get any donors for my 540K by the time that Mustang comes out, those lace wheels are MINE! ALL MINE! Muahahahaahah!




What's happening to me?!

 

[McZachenF1138]

I'm not sure actually, but I think it would say it was "New For 2013".
I have the '65 Mustang Fastback that also has a very low fender to beltline ratio such as this one does.
HW has three different 1967 Mustangs, and one of them has switched between being called a 1967 and 1968 over the years.
'67/'68 Mustang, '67 Mustang Coupe, and '67 Shelby GT-500.
None of which are what is in that picture of the 2013 one.

 

[AOS-]

Which is why I think it might be a new casting. It doesn't look like the Stang Fastback. I hate that casting; have a black and red one. Actually, I hate how it looks in general, not just the casting.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Must have...that R34!!! Also surprised to see the ugly US spec Focus back in the line up. Shelby looks awesome too!

Anyways, out of boredom, I thought I'd look through my brother's local craigslist where he's at. Stumbled across this.

If only I could find someone like that in Maine.

 

[a6m5]

Pegs. Peeeeeegs!

 

[CodeRedR51]

The white Mustang is new, yes.

 

[Cano]

Why did they have to paint the Formula S Barracuda Coupe like that? It sucks. Buying it, and straight to th paint stripper. The Shelby looks bad-ass.

 

[AOS-]

I don't see the point of having THAT many carded products. It's a huge waste of space, and it's not pretty enough to be considered decor.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I just think that it's funny how the front-wheel drive Focus has large rear wheels.
It looks more wrong than most castings that I can remember.

 

[Cano]

Yeah, when you get to that point, it looks more like a small, unorganized store than a collection.

Word, dude. The thing is one of the worse HW castings in history.

 

[a6m5]

Different strokes for different folks. There are plenty of people who likes the cars unopened for various reasons.

 

[MedigoFlame]

I see quite a few doubles in there, probably more duplicates. Does seem more like a store, but hey, there's gotta be something in there.
