1) $4.
2) Can you not see the Canadian flag under my avatar? :P Shipping shouldn't exceed $10.

I can now that I am on my computer! :dopey:
Anyway, I would send you the F40 and the GB car but I really would like to hang onto the Jag.

Go or no go?
 
Oh screw you and all of your '13 cars, Ben. Geez. :grumpy:

Hopefully it won't be long until I start seeing them around here.
 
Good luck, Jarrod. :lol:
Obviously fate so I had to buy it.

Ya, that's it. :lol:
I collect Legos as well as diecasts and dvds/blurays. You should check out the Lego thread if you want to see some of my collection.
Stay away from me, bro!


Just found that Vector in the previous page. Target Acquired.
........I guess it's way too late for you! Welcome aboard on the crazy train. :D
Can ya'll take a guess as to what it is?:sly:
Don't tease us. Let's have it!
 
Stopped by WalMart tonight. Picked up:

- Tyrrell P34 TH (available for sale, trade)
- Honda Civic Si Juke Box Series (this is the new Decades replacement)
 
Boy, that Tyrrell's an oldie!

Edit: I wish somebody would buy this Kyosho CRX. Considering the scale, I'd think it's as perfect as it gets. :drool: It's on sale for roughly $20 in the U.S.

And here is an Action Pack I also got today!:dopey: Seen this on Amazon for only $0.50 (not even joking), found out my friend at college had an Amazon, so i gave the money for it and he ordered it and I got it today!:dopey: Hope to get plenty more.:sly: These sets are perfect for photographers who love making dioramas! You hear me Photonrider?

My Walmart near home slightly updated their Boulevards with a couple 442s, Ford trucks, Civic Si's, and three Bel Airs. I bought all three of the Bel Airs; two for wheels, one to keep carded.
They also had all the Holiday Cars apart from the motorcycle. I got the Bread Box and Ford Delivery for my girlfriend and left the others behind.
They had those horrid graffiti cars too.
Oh, and I picked up another 918 to keep carded as well as a blue BMW 2002 for the same reason. I also came across the Harley from this year, so I bought that too. Those three were at Target.
 
Those Red Bel Air's must be extra stock that Mattel had laying around, because they were supposed to be Mix 2 in Boulevard, and here they are showing up with the new stuff...
 
Yeah, I knew something peculiar was up when I saw them after Kevin(?) got one at Walmart as well. It was funny to still see two 914s in the back. :lol:
That's still better than the Walmart down by school; they haven't had Boulevards for months. :grumpy:
 
Damn, some nice scores, SonyGamma972! I've been aware of those action packs. There are couple of them I've been somewhat after, but some other priority seems to always comes up, and I haven't had the chance to order them yet.
What have you got against lego:lol:
While I don't think I'll ever get into collecting Legos, I didn't think I'd start collecting Hot Wheels at my age either.

I'm not taking any chances!
 
Question for a6m5: Do you have this green car - a.k.a. Spin King - and if you do..koff, ahem, errr . . . any thing moves, slides, pops-up, so on, in it?

It was a blue one I had, Harry:

old pic......

It's still in packaging....... :P I discovered the photo when I was looking for the pics I took of the Tomica 86 to compare with the one that Kakashi just got.

Since this Asian decided not to answer you, I will. ;)

The Spin King doesn't have moving parts. I've taken one apart.

One of the rivets holds down the gold plastic, the other holds down the tinted window. Therefore, everything is fastened firmly to the chassis.
 
Yellow light; before we proceed any further, what other cars do you want to hand onto and what are you willing to sell to me? Better yet, can I interest you in a lot of cars I probably no longer want?

You should understand I have little idea of what any of them are worth or what I would want. Not up for paying $10 for shipping but I'd be happy to sell to you if that's what you want. Because you asked, not me! :)
 
Hey hey, lookie what I have here. :dopey:



I have wanted to take it apart very much for its wheels but I can't bring myself to do it because the first Quaker State & Lube restaurant is very close to where I live.
I don't know if any of you are familiar with that restaurant or not but I know it's pretty famous for the relatively small number of locations it has.

I'm pretty sure I have a few of those. :sly: A few paint chips here and there too IIRC.
