There's more?
Yep. If all came in in time, there should be about 200 more cars for me to chew on.
For now Ill show you something out of the bunch you saw before, these were actually a curiosity that was less than 10 bucks including shipping, I didnt have Ertl cars because they were never (afaik) sold here, so I grabbed them to add the marke to my collection. The E-Bay picture only showed the top of the cars, but when they arrived I was glad to see they were in almost mint condition. I later found out they are mid-70s cars and there are some scarce castings here, so it turned out to be a great deal:
the castings arent the most detailed ore ven delicate, they are somehow quite rouge, but they compensate nicely by having mobile parts all of them:
Lez now see one by one, first this Alfa, by far the fave and, as I later found out, the rarest of the six:
You can see the injected engine:
We then have a split window Vette, you can see how rouge these were cast, their metal is heavy and very thick, and even if that doesnt help to the general detailing, we can see the small block as part of the plastic interior.
Then, this 2nd gen Trans Am, interesting in the fact that it has the crash bumper, instead of the first and way more attractive Endura bumper, or its third version, the one that appeared in Smokey and The Bandit, But that only adds oddness to the model and the strange interest that comes with it.
It opens its doors and, of course, the screaming chicken is obviously present.
Then, look, a Basic 911, the worst of the bunch due to some paint spots here and there. But check out how each headlamp is a separate piece of transparent plastic. I really liked that.
The hood opens to show us a piece of plastic that resembles anything but an engine
Then, one of the rarest of the bunch, a Mercedes Benz C111! Ok, its pretty badly done. But then again, if I want a C111 in this size Id have to get a vintage Siku or Schucco and there are two problems with that: finding them, then paying them. Both very very difficult.
The entire rear hacth opens up to reveal a gigantic engine, and notice how the taillamps are just two holes in the deck.
Last one, a Porsche 917 in what appears to be Mopar green, which also opens its rear hood entirely. Note high tech mechanism to hold it up.
I find it interesting that they made an early version of the car, with the front winglets and the short tail instead of the much more famous straight tail, such as the Gulf cars that ran Le Mans.
I have to say that it is evident that these were toys made to last. Their metal is really strong, very hard, and their axles are pretty strong. They are a pretty nice addition to my collection, which I always try to make it eclectic and varied. And you know, not everything is Hot Wheels. After all, theyre just toy cars.
Is there anything actually printed on the card which denotes a Super T-Hunt?
