Yeah I found pictures of it.

Also $%&* the price of that thing! Damnit Mattel, why couldn't you make a wheel variation with ugly wheels? That way I wouldn't want it!
 
Just came across one of my older NASCAR pieces in..... pieces. I don't even know how it happened. Probably no way to replace it either as it's almost as old as I am.

#26 Quaker State Buick - Racing Champions


Will post a pic later.

Volante is their own name, still classified as a convertible though, and roadsters originally had a different meaning.

Also, if you're using an iDevice to browse GTP, just use Safari like I do. You get PM notificiatiosn and you can check your "My GTPlanet" control panel, which will let you know if you got a VM. User profile pages won't load normal on said devices though.

Yep, it's true about the AMs with the Volante name, but I mostly say that or convertible here-and-there.

Ok. I'll do that soon, thanks for the tip. 👍

No it's only a little visitor message, I left on your profile page.

No need to be, it's not really that important anyway. :lol: I had no idea you were on the app, that explain's it.

Oh ok, I just gotta clean that one out any my email later. So I'll see it then. :)

Let's say that I won that mega record jackpot from Powerball....... I still wouldn't buy it. :D Well, I might buy it, then give it to Cano. :lol:

Why me!? I just brought something cool up to attention. Basically.

:lol:

Yeah, let's keep eye on that one. See how high it'll go!

Yeah, I wouldn't buy it, even if I was rich or lottery winner, or maybe, Hmmmm...... 💡

But yeah let's see how far this one goes, I'll say up to 5k someone will get then or before it hits 5,000.

I have nearly 400 cars ranging from opened, closed, cars for later customizing and with some that I still have from childhood. And this isn't counting my model cars that I have and the cars when I was little that I either lost or traded with friends. :scared:

mmmm.. I guess over 7,000 from 1/64 scale including hotwheels, matchbox, corgi, JL, mini lindy, etc...., the ones showed on my collection pictures are just part of them, the others are keeped in boxes, I think I need a pentagonal room to display them all heheh

Man, I so envy you dude. 7,000 cars?! :eek:👍

Imagine if you were rich, I can see a garage with all of the real cars, trucks and if you're into them, bikes.

More respect bro regardless of scales or RL 1:1s! :D:tup:

R1600Turbo
Trading the two OH5 Ferrari 599xx's I have for:

A OH5 Datsun 510 -

And another Lace wheel Falcon Race Car so I can have one to open for my display. :D

MINE..... All Nissans are MINE!!!!!!

R1600Turbo
Hey, after I get this 510 all I need is the red one with the same wheels and I'll have them ALLLLL!!!! muahahahaha. :dopey:

You can never have enough BB 510s. ;)

It was just hangin' out on a peg at Target. Looks like they're not that hard to find, I see one for $3 on eBay. I'll take a pic later.


I saw the red BNR34 but I didn't get a chance when I was buying two PS3 games, my mom stopped me several times when I attempted to get him and the BMW 2002ti that a another collector, who was a cool guy, helped me find it.

Talk about strict importing laws on real R34s, but with a scale one from your mom?! :ouch::grumpy::(:lol:
 
Found a silver 918 and a green Carrera GT at Target. Didn't even know the 918 existed. (As a HW, I mean. I've seen the 918 GT prototype in person and it's stunning.)
Not hard for you anyway...

It's in the D-case mix, which seems to be hitting Target stores as we speak.

Are those rare? Theyre everywhere at my Walmart :P
The rarity of that particular car resides in the wheel combo it has, it was "normally" released with other type of wheels.

^^^ That. Lace wheel version is SUPER hard to find.
 
Went up north to a game store that does system repairs. So I dropped my PS3 off and decided to look around this town...that I've never been to. And I managed to find a Target. Nothing great on the pegs, but I did find this one Maisto Elite Transport tow truck with the Porsche 911 GT2. :D Still no sign of the GT-R...

Got me wondering about my local Target, so I stopped by there when I got back.

BMW M1 (All the M1s there had a broken package)
new MB Austin Mini
AM DBS
BMW 2002
AE86
Porsche 917 (all of them had the rear window popped out, so...I'm guessing it's a common error.)

Finally, stopped by the indoor flea market. Can't help but feel rather annoyed by one of the vendors... Hoarding Angry Birds Red Birds and Minion Pigs just to sell them for $4!? :crazy: Ugh, I hate that vendor... Also hoarded some of the HW Racing models like the Mustangs. But...I still buy the $1 stuff that they have as well as the grab bags.
IMG_0637.jpg

Only cars of interest from the grab bags:
F355 Challenge
Escort Rally
MB Mercedes G-Wagon
AE86
And...a yellow Reventon.
 
And what about the rest?

Well, since you asked. I opened up the bags and took them out and got these pics. Since it's already dark here, I had to find some decent lighting...
IMG_0639.jpg

Not exactly sure what they are except for the Chevy 1500
 
Nope, seems like no one's really seen them at all on the pegs. Only way I know you can get it is by ordering a Hot Ones case. A lot of JNC members haven't seen any sign of it as well.

Speaking of Hot Ones, still no sign of the CRX here... Or the Supra. :grumpy:
 
I've yet to see any cool Hot Ones. Toyota truck, Vanagon, Supra, Brat, I haven't seen any of those. CRX is not at all rare, so Medigo, you should see those in your area before too long.
 
I agree with Mysterio, those are the only cool Hot Ones.
My Target had the 20(?) packs of the Hot Ones. I believe two of the first box, one of the second, and two of the third. Still not sure if I want them...
 
Has anyone seen one of these around?

IMG_0720.JPG

If I had, I would've purchased it soooo fast. I just got the C4 Vette and "Hot Bird" today.

Also picked up the AMC Pacer, which begs the question: Why is it that Hot Wheels feels the need to make all of their hatchbacks and wagons either mid-engined or insanely modified in some other respect?

Maybe so...the most recent update was just a restock of the 2nd mix of Hot Ones. I still haven't seen any new Hot Ones since Mix 4...

Also...if it really does take a long time for those to come or we become impatient. Why not order a case and split the cars. :P

I don't think we'll ever be able to agree on how we split the thing up. :lol:
