Let me know if you want me to keep my eyes open for Hot Ones CR-X, also the Boulevard trio. 👍

I'm pretty sure we all want one... or two.

 

[Spacegoat]

My younger brother came back from Target with a Hotwheel. He was playing with it, and simply said "I don't like this one!" and gave me this:

Custom Beetle is one of my favourite castings, nice score. 👍

And screw a6 and all of his Boulevards. Geez.

I'll try. 👍 We are talking about the trio, right? Not the CR-X(Hot Ones).

Custom Beetle is one of my favourite castings, nice score. 👍

But Jarrod, it's the real "Hot" one.

I fell in love with it - it's up there on my favorites list.

Awesome cars there guys, especially $TH El Camino & Datsun 510 wagon

Wow, really cool zakyta! I really like that 5-pack you got. Also, can I get a close up photo of that Tesla Roadster? I have yet to find one.

Here you go mate:tup:

and also some better shots of the Welly's
quality isn't too bad, I pay $2.25 for Hot Wheels & Matchbox here in Australia and these are $1

 

[Cano]

Those Wellys are good. I have them with the exception of the WRX, Ahmed beat me to it the only time I've seen it. The tires are plastic bur are moulded to look like rubber, and they do a good job.

CRX actually, but I'm sure I'll get access to the boulevards later.

OK. 👍

Jason: do you have an MC5 blue Subbie?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Sure do, I bought 2 of them actually from Wheel Collectors (even though I don't like them...) just so I knew I could get it. Then got the yellow wheel version at KDays. I need to snap a photo of all the variations together.

 

[AOS-]

You going to hook me up on that Subbie just like how I hooked you up with the PR5 Subbie?

The Scout is kind of cute and the Land Cruiser is must buy as always.... more land Raiders, yo!

 

[MedigoFlame]

I'm guessing the only other MB Land Cruiser that had diamond plating was the Lesney Edition? Not a fan of the sacrificed white roof, lights, and grill tampos.

I profiled the Land Cruisers in more stock deco a couple of days ago:

Nope, got a 2nd one to keep it in the package.

And I fear Matchbox is going overboard with the offroad & utility vehicles.

It seems they released the off-roaders all at once. I know there won't be a ton to like from matchbox this year, but I have seen the BMW 1M and I think a few of you will enjoy customizing the hell out of it. It looks awesome.

 

[Apok]

BMW 1M, BMW 1M, BMW 1M, BMW 1M, BMW 1M, BMW 1M, BMW 1M, BMW 1M

*dies*

 

[CodeRedR51]

BMW 1M or BMW M1?

 

[Apok]

1M, as in the newer coupe.

 

[Cano]

1M, as in the newer coupe.

Sad.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm ok with that.

 

[Cano]

I am too, but imagine a M1 with Matchbox's current quality and realism.

 

[CodeRedR51]

...that has gone down.

 

[Cano]

But check out the line and notice that the new castings that come out are released mostly with decent paint, and then the recolours come out all whacky. That was the case this year with the Aston Ragtop, the Mini ragtop and other new cars. At least I hope the 1M -lets leave the M1 aside- will be a solid color with black tires, please

Every time I visit the Matchbox section of a store, I always keep getting the impression all they do is trucks and lorries.

Then I remember they used to make sporty cars which leads me to hop in the same boat as you guys.

 

[Apok]

I don't even care what the paint job and wheels are like, I'm going to buy each and every one I see.

(Which with the current number of stores stocking Matchbox cars here might not even be 1)

 

[a6m5]

I also love the Land Cruiser(nice blog, jtl 👍) & Scout. Red LanCru indeed is sweet looking!

I got handful of cars in the mail today, but it seems my post office misplaced several of very nice cars. They show "delivered" on tracking, but they can't find them. Anyways, here's some real nice cars that took me months to finally obtain:

FINALLY! I call this one the Michael Keaton Batmobile. Only one I consider to be worth a damn!

Don't know what it's called. I call it Real Rider Bronco. Another member posted this one on here awhile back. Another FINALLY!

Something I ran into & liked.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I have one of those Brickyard trucks.

Stopped by Walmart tonight, they restocked but nothing I needed. Still no dump bin.

Then ran by the HW meet. Only two guys had tables up, gave in on paying $2 for the Falken Cuda because I was tired of waiting for it. Didn't get anything else.

 

[a6m5]

The Brickyard truck almost was part of a big multi-purchase(which is MIA with my post office now), but I ended up finding it cheaper by itself elsewhere.

Sorry to hear about another slow trip. Bummer.

I'm hitting Walmart either tonight or tomorrow, so I hope to find a cool car or two!

My missing cars:

AOS Influence

Toy Peddler 1 2 3 4 5

This may be karma from the time I made fun of postal service in Canada & Mexico in this thread. I hope nobody stole my cars & would turn up soon.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I have a $5 Target gift card I need to use, will head over there tomorrow.

I did read up on that. It was an interesting post.

I remember posting and seeing the rumors of the BMW 1M and Range Rover Evoque for the Matchbox line. Hoping to see pictures eventually!

Managed to get out of the house an hour before work and stopped by Walmart, TRU, and Target. Target had two new Matchbox 5-packs(that aren't offroad cars), Walmart finally updated...it's entire diecast car section and stuff wasn't scattered all over the place with some F-Case cars, although the pegs were nearly empty... And TRU had nothing new, and the Retro Entertainment cars were nearly gone, except for the Edsels. Although, my Walmart also had Retro Entertainment cars. The American Graffiti '32 Ford Coupe and the Mystery Machine. I'll get pics later, or tomorrow depending on how I can get them into the house tonight if I can

Edit: Finally got the pictures.
