That's nothing, just a mainline release. What you really want are the Gulf sponsored RLC releases this year that come with a Gulf oil can.

You can see one of them on the computer screen:

I know.

 

[CodeRedR51]

But did you know they come with an oil can?

So I said I'd keep my limit to under 200 car purchases this year... It's not even the end of January and I've already accumulated 124 cars.

The designers seem like such great guys children.

Well, they are the ones making the toys so they oughta be like one if not think like one.

That FJ still don't do it for me, but I almost want one for its' wheels to put it on the one I do like. I just put the same Celica in my storage case(same seller). Left some room for the Sandblaster!

Best FJ40 is the '68 model by Matchbox.

 

[a6m5]

This one's my favorite. I have one carded, and one loose.

 

[AOS-]

Those are yuck man. Wait until I show you my FJ40 Land Raider customs.

You'd be wrong, but I forgive you, your brain's freezing so far up north.

Finally! Final Runs 850i. Thanks to the seller who accepted the offer for $10. It may seem high, but this is the lowest price I've found in probably couple of months.

One of these rests in the antique mall I pass on the way home from work.

It's $6 and the booth is almost always 20-40% off.

I notice plenty of deals you guys find locally, then post here. Sadly, I don't know of any where I live.

The good news is, I think this was the last of the older releases that was on my "want" list. Tomica Limited, I still got a handful I'd like to have, but they are WAY more money.

If I remember correctly, I grabbed it for a dollar on E-Bay, albeit loose. But I don't remember if it's this car or not, the package will have to arrive. If not, I'll let you know so you can go grab it for me (:

Retro Entertainment. It's the T-Bird stockcar from the Stroker Ace movie. 👍

Out of the car/racing action movies and TV shows, I have never seen this one before. :boogled:

Oh man, they're really going all-out with this Retro Entertainment series.
I suppose that's a good thing though.

I know right?

First there was BTTF DeLoren Tine Machine, then the Mystery Machine, Ghostbusters' Caddy, KITT, A-Team's GMC Van and now Miami Vice's cars and Smokey and the Bandit!

Great cars and trucks in the best pieces of cinema and shows of the 80's and now they need to do some of the cars from TV from the 90's and early 00's.

The designers seem like such great guys children.

This and huge car and racing enthusiasts as well....

Is that a Porsche 917k I see..... In the Gulf livery?!

On my list officially.

Oh yeah I sent you a PM earlier as well Jason.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Hmmm, not sure what to e-broke myself with tonight. A $uper 2000GT or that Gulf 917.

 

[zakyta_4]

All those new cars look awesome, probably be 12 months they hit these stores, still haven't found any Zamac's over here yet


Also got some eBay stuff delivered today:

Got this lot for $6.50 +postage

$TH Gran Torino for an $8.99 opening bid

Got these from the same seller, I payed before combining postage as I was going away so he threw the 599XX in for the extra I'd paid

 

[CodeRedR51]

^^^ Don't want to know how much you paid for those.

Don't get bit by "gotta have it now" syndrome. Wait.

And all this time I thought I was the only one to experience this and be unable to resist.

The booth has 6 or 7 older final runs. I'll post a list here thurs. If you want something, let me know soon. They announced recently the mall is being torn down to build a super Walmart.

 

[AOS-]

Paid a premium for this one... never saw it before.

Hah get a load of this. An order of loose HW Garages came in the mail today. I had ordered the '70 HEMI Challenger, and guess what I got instead?

Guy better send me the right thing this time. Sellers hate negative feedbacks after all.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Don't get bit by "gotta have it now" syndrome. Wait.

Yeah, but what they're going for on eBay is most certainly less than what they will be when they're in higher demand.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I think you have it backwards.

Messaged the guy. his response:

OOOPS!! I guess you got a freebie. I am at work right now, but will check them out when I get home this evening and get the correct one out to you. Sorry about the mixup.

Hey do any of you want a HW Garage Hemi Cuda donor?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Nope, got one.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I think you have it backwards.

$30 isn't cheap?

 

[CodeRedR51]

It's your money, do what you want.

I just think it's crazy. The car hasn't even hit stores yet.

 

[AOS-]

Think about that for a minute. You're paying $30 for a toy car.

A lot of Supers for go $30 it's not considerably cheap at all.


Plus, there was a listing I watched where the winning bid paid $17 for a 2000GT. With that said, be a little more patient. You can live without a 2000GT. you can alternatively buy a Tomica 2000GT for less and it'll have more accurately portrayed wheels.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I say give it a couple months. Like I said, that's the G case $uper and we barely even have F cases hitting the stores.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I do have that super El Camino that I could probably use as trade bait over at HWC for one.

15,000.
