I have a green/black one. They're quite nice. And are surprisingly heavy.
I got a matchbox 5-pack recently. The most important is a pink 1969 Cadillac Sedan DeVille.
Because pink Cadillacs are cool
.The pack also contains a green lotus Elan, a yellow VW Karmann Ghia, a '65 Mustang GT and '71 Camaro Z28.
Bought it for the Cadillac though.

Well, I'm an overnight stocker for Walmart, and just happened a few nights ago to be working in Toys (I'm typically in furniture) and guess who unloaded what? It was the typical rehash of what's already out, but I got two T-Hunt '57 Chevies for the effort. Love to find the Super T-Hunt thought..
Cheers,
Jetboy

well, after my terrible work spree I had to come and rescue this thread from being in page two. fortunately, I had several new things to show you guys.
I hadn't visited the usual fleamarket but when I went back I scored big time with these 4 France-made mid-70s Majorettes (Mercedes, Capri, Fire Truck thing and 260Z) and the awfully done Playart De Tomaso Mangusta in blue. I don't really know why I like that brand so much, many of their cars are absolutely horrid. for USD2 a pop, they were an awesome buy.
Form that same place came this Matchbox Lesney Speed Kings 1971 Thunderclap. Speedkings were 1:43 size more or less, and this is very very complete, just dirty. Notice it's exhaust tips and velocity stacks are complete. It's very difficult to find with those intact. A steal at usd2.
New Matchbox crop at Wal Mart. That Porsche is awesome, as is the GMC Schoolbus.
I also opened a couple of mid-90s blue card Hot Wheels I had lying around because I didn't remember if I had these with these wheels. Turns out I didn't, so off the blister they go.
Then, this saturday was the monthly get-together of the Hot Wheels Mexico Club buds, and I got some pretty cool stuff from there. The Porsche 928 is a late-70s Tomica and is almost mint. The Pinto is from Motor Max and has superb detailing and rubber tires.
Some regular Trasure Hunts... finally the 1955 Chevy from last year fell in my hands.
Some basic, mainline cars, the Monte Carlo is incredibly awesome!! The Porsche is cool too, but...
Once I took it out of the package I noticed that it's taillamps were really, REALLY off. Minus points for Mattel quality control. I'll have to buy another and customize this one.
More Hot Wheels. A mid-80s mistery Ford Fairmont which we still don't know if it's Mexico-made, a couple of recent Cobras, the minty yellow Buggy is a Shock Factor that I had when I was a kid but turned it to shreds, so getting it back was cool, and a really weird red... thing.
Brit attack: The Alfa Romeo SZ brothers and the Mini Ha Ha -that will see restoration/customization- are from Matchbox-Lesney, the Le Mans Austin Healey is a Corgi.
And now the stars!!!! Two very difficult to obtain Mexico-made cars, the Aries Wagon and the incredibly rare Hare Splitter (VW Golf MKI), which also was the strong buy of the night at almost usd20.
And the other stars... a guy brought these 1:72 Skyline models from RealX, and I traded him two vintage Hot Wheels for these four; all of them have separate plastic headlamps, ruber tires and multipiece construction:
The Hakosuka GTR is cool with correct paint and wheels:
Then the 2000GT as a cop car.. can anyone tell me if this is a Tokyo police car?
The R31 is awesome in black/red with correct wheels:
And finally, a very correct R32 which also has separate transparent plastic taillamps.
Aaaaand that was my week. I cannot complain even though I couldn't go to the Mexico City Official Collectors Convention due to heavy work. I'll go next year.

Few new additions that my Mum had bought for me from this past week.
From left to right: Maisto Mercedes-Benz A-Class in 1/43, a SS 1/32 1967 Volkswagen Beetle, a Hotwheels F1 car, this Hotwheels slotcar, a Irwin toy car, a Siku Scania (?) and a brown toy car.
Is this type Hotwheels rare?
Sorry for the bad photo.

Picked this one up the other day. I haven't actually been hotwheels hunting in quite some time. Money is a bit tight at the moment.

Same problem here unfortunately.... I have to save a lot of money next year for some other important stuff. This is bad since I heard there will be a lot of cool cars for Hot Wheels next year.
Sweet Caterham anyway! 👍

Nice. Makes me wish that my local Big W (Australian version of WalMart) would finally change their stock of Matchbox cars as they have had rows of beige Volvo C30's that no-one wants for about 2 years.

aaah, so it's finally out!! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for that thing, but it may take a while for it to get to Mexico.
On another note, here is the list for 2011... several interesting new castings to peruse, I really want to see the VW Brasilia, 1970 Camaro and Charger and the Hakosuka Skyline.

There is a BMW M3 2010 on that list!
That is brilliant news, since Hot wheels haven't been making any BMW's in a long while.
And it's not speculation either, since InvincibleM5 once linked me a picture to a BMW M3 model by Hot Wheels.
Edit:
actually here it is. It is on the Hot Wheels Wiki, but you have to click on the name.

For all the Aussie members here, Big W has their 5 HotWheels for $5 deal on at the moment, however the store I went to had just the seperate cars for $1 each and there weren't 5 cars that I wanted there, so I ended up with these four.
Oh, and there are still rows of beige Volvo C30's that no-one wants in the Matchbox section. I have even been considering buying one just to get rid of some of their stock.

The special is that the cars are $1 each. They just try to get people to think they have to buy 5. Nice finds.
