I'll be sure to buy every Enterprise I can find and burn them all.
As for the Porsche, I will buy every one for quite the opposite reason.
 
Ahhhh man, I beat T-Hunted to the punch on the Star Trek model and you show theirs...

Yes, I am whining.

Actually, Doug probably got his photos the same time I did. The batch is just hitting in Malaysia.
 
I've never watched Star Trek, but that honestly looks nice to have. But if I did ever find one, I'd begin to regret trading off The Bat. Better blacklist it.

That 911 is nice though. That is for real, right? Also hope that F&F rumour is true. I'd definitely like to stock up on Japanese cars.

I'm certainly not a "Trekkie" or however you spell it, but I enjoy the new films. Can't wait for the new one, which is almost certainly why Mattel is releasing that this year to promote the new movie.

The Porsche is real, Boulevard Mix 4. 👍
 
And, DW, that Mercedes C-Class is not new. It's the 1998 Race Team Series C-Class. Got the same one at my local flea market.

I was kidding Medigo as I sent AOS the car. Did you think I wouldnt know something about a mainline from the 90s?? Foolish mortal!
 
If I recall correctly, Wyvern had the white one.

You recall correctly. I was home for lunch and grabbed the variations I could. As I was looking through the N bins, I pulled my 300zx as well. They're so photogenic!

Edit: I realize the 200sx is a datsun, its just easier to place it with the nissan.

Well, yes, my area does seem to produce. There are a large amount of collectors around here, but most of them just want to find the Hunts. That makes life for me fairly nice.

I just found another Kenmeri Skyline yesterday. It has probably been there for two years.

But I still think the F&F set will hit in large numbers, like the Batman set last year. I am sure in end caps or something like that. I don't think they will be hard to find. If they are, I can help...
 
A lot of you forget that I am limited to a bicycle and a handful of stores that never stock their shelves.

]And I don't have the freedom to go out and buy like you do. Everyone in the house wants me to stop collecting so I've been doing most of my shopping on my way to school or during my break at work.
 
I found one of these display cases at Micheal's and had to pick one up. I knew it would be perfect for Hotwheels, so I started to fill it up.

Outside of the case, on the right, is my Dukes of Hazard Charger. The one on the top left of the case, the white one, is from 1996. My newest to my collection are the two Angry Birds Hotwheels in the middle. I mostly collect classics, like my two Pontiac GTOs and my few Dodge Chargers and Challengers I have dug in there.

I know it isn't much of a collection, but you got to start somewhere. I'll post a better quality picture sometime soon.
 
The F&F series is laughable. Normal wheels. Sure. I do get why they did that, though, they don't have a single premium wheel that fits modern cars, all of them look like crap when bolted in a car made after 1977.
 
Yep it sure did!:D Im going to give ya'll one last stab at it before i reveal it.:sly: As said earlier, it is a Hot Wheels vehicle from the 90's, it is not a car at all, but it is a vehcle.;) What is it?

I honestly have no clue what it is. Stop teasing us and post some pictures already. :P
 
It's a bit annoying how the new Hotwheels have a QR code in the back. Ugh, sometimes I wish "Smartphones" never existed.

EDIT: And thanks a6m5
 
Read the last page. :P
Thanks a lot! I read every word on that page, but it was on the page before it. :dopey:

I don't know if it's going to be with rubber tires or not, but I certainly will try to buy them. Looking at the crazy money JDM imports go for on eBay though, I am guessing most cars in the series would be in the hands of scalpers & hoarders. :(
