Here Jason is going "It's my Super in months", while everyone else is going "I don't even have a Super....".

Also, I finally saw that green Matchbox Civic you guys flip over about all the time... I got 2. Who's interested? Mind you, this isn't a first-come first-serve deal.

The 5-packs going @ 2 for $10 was still active at TRU, except there wasn't anything I really wanted. I mean, I could have got another Shelby pack, and maybe that tuners for the Trueno, but I didn't want to pay $10 to get all that other crap I'll never be able to get rid of.

Maybe I'll completely dismantle pieces off some the cars that won't sell and craft up some new vehicle.
 
Speaking of Matchbox, when I bought the TH Bread Box over the weekend at Target they also had a gold CTS-V wagon which looked pretty cool. Might want to keep an eye out for that one.
 
I'm at Target right now and all their Hot Wheels are on sale.
Also, I'm see a couple 9-packs with that Road Race Camaro Jason customized in them, except they have red interiors. Not sure if I should pick them up in case they're a variation. Unless his is the variation...
 
What else do you see? List some nice cars you see there. Are there 2013 cars? Any FJ40 Land Cruiser Matchboxes? Datsun BB? 2012 Halloween Fangula? Chevy Fleetlines?

They all come with Red interiors. I painted mine.
 
Oh. I must have remembered that converstation you and Canon had wrongly
:dunce:

Andy, go to my Flickr as I don't want to post the pictures right now. There are lots of the usual 13s; Super Blitzen, Nomad, 458, Torque Twister, Da'Kar, 13 Mustang, Hollowback, DBS, etc etc.
No FJs or 510s though.
 
I'm still working on them, I have like close to 200 to photograph.
And I'm not down at school on the weekends and Wednesdays, so I can't photograph then either.

What color 510s do you want. There are LOTS of grey FTEs at Walmart.
 
Yellow.. :D if there are still any (really doubt it). If not, skip it.

No FTEs... I hate those things... well actually, I think I worked out a way to make them less atrocious, but I ain't saying anything yet. ;)

Are you photographing them individually? You can do group photos to save time. (just don't do top views again lol). Thanks!
 
No, no yellows. I actually might have one that I can send you though. I'll have to look; but I just sat down, so you'll have to wait! :lol:

I'm gonna continue to photograph them individually as it will be easier to organize them in the future.
 
I realized how I didn't have any Testarossas? I found this two Hot Wheels lot of original Testarossa + the awesome 80's one that I LOVE. I was looking at it today, and it has two tone finish on the seat! I'm not sure if I've ever seen painted seats? It's black & red. 👍

I passed. :yuck:
 
Funny you should mention Testarossa a6m5, i have two different sized Hot Wheels Testarossa's, which i think is odd. One is much bigger than the other, but yet there both the same model Testarossa's. Whats up with that?:confused: Will upload pic later.;)

I have two different casting BMW 8-series(from the 90's). Cano pointed out that one of the casting was I think from Matchbox? It actually has openable doors, but both are marked Hot Wheels.

Yea i know what you mean. As for this Testarossa, i am 100% sure they are both Hot Wheels because the bigger one has a Hot Wheels logo on the windshield and the base with lace wheels, while the other was the normal issue we all know. I think i got two benz like this to!

They are both Corgi castings. Corgi was bought by Mattel in the late-90s and several Corgi castings were used by Hot Wheels. The cars in question:

They are separated plastic pieces.
 
I did not know that!:drool: Thanks for the info!::eek:👍:bowdown: I was just looking at a vehicle on south texas diecast and it said Corgi and i wondered what that ment, now i know!💡 That is the Testarossa i own that is bigger than the other casting, i knew there was something unusual about it. There were alot of Corgi's out back when that Testarossa was released i believe, i have a few myself. You can certainly tell when a vehicle is a Corgi, because they are kinda cheaper made compared to other hot wheels and plus about every one i have seen said it was made in china on the base, but i love them!:dopey: Another Corgi i have is a silver Ford Sierra with opening doors, man i freaking love that thing!:eek: It really brings out my inner child!:dopey:

Mmmm, really love that BMW 850i :drool:, and sorely miss my Matchbox version with blue interior. :(

Picked up another MB Caterham R500 weekend just past, black one with yellow accents (no pics), but i think i might try and attempt a Caterham Fireblade custom. :D
 
Anyone have an answer as to why my Splittin' Image II has "Sting Ray III" on the bottom as it's car name?

What is it about 'Shelby GT500 KITT' that befuddles that brilliant brain of yours, Jason?
Here, chew on this:

Since I seen that show, I wanted the GT500KR version of KITT. But nope, I don't think anyone made it. :indiff:

Still looking for the Tran-Am KITT STILL! :grumpy:

So true. I seen two episodes and then one day, I didn't even see it on TV again. I always wondered why sometimes.

Do you, like, know everything about hot wheels? :bowdown:

Dude, were talking about Cano here: The Stig/Chuck Norris of Hot Wheels! ;):lol:

And thanks Cano on clearing the mystery of the Ferrari and the BMW. I remembered having those cars since I was a kid and I thought they were HWs! :eek:

Gotta find them again one day.
