I'm going to be looting 4 walmarts today. The cars are going for a dollar and there should be bins out available. Wish me the best.

Good luck bud. Don't grab wheel donors.

McZac, dude, you REALLY FREAKING SCORED. Several pretty rare cars in that bunch, specially the green Oshkosh, really difficult to find. How much for all?

Also, I recently destroyed one of those Pontiac Rageous for the wheels lol

They were $2.50 a piece, so you do the math. Please don't kill me. It was a music/video game/related collectables store so they marked up the prices to save their asses profit-wise. While yes, the prices were steep, I found it accecptable for the kind of store it was.

It's hard to imagine that Mattel could afford to make a Hot Wheel with as much metal in it as that snowplow.

My Pontiac met the same fate when I got home.

 

[Cano]

2.50!!!! That's a freaking steal! I would have bought all of them in a whim, too, even if I already have most of them (the ones I like only), because business.

What are you waiting for to go back? That's great pricing for blue cards. Sure, you can get them cheaper by the lot in E-Bay, but a lot with rare cars won't go for cheap. Drop what you're doing and assault them now.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Next week, when I have money. That haul was over $60!

 

[Cano]

haha ah yeah, the money.

 

[McZachenF1138]

You know what I just realized about that list Hot Wheels released of their new models?
The Toyota 2000 GT isn't on it.

Technically not a new model. It was planned for a series last year and canceled. Maybe that's why they kept it off the "new models" list.

Here's the whole list of all the cars this year:

Looks like we're getting another RX-7 too. 👍

 

[McZachenF1138]

Ah, I see. I'd put it on that list.

@&#%$&$%@#%#&#%@$#&$$#%&#!!!!!!!!!!!!
GREENWOOD CORVETTE.

But will we see it as a normal release and not just a $TH? I find it strange that $TH versiones are already making the rounds and, as far as I know, no regular versions has even been shown.

@&#%$&$%@#%#&#%@$#&$$#%&#!!!!!!!!!!!!
GREENWOOD CORVETTE.

Another carryover from the road Racers series, like the M3. Cool.

Price of a decent pizza, and a case of beer.
But those cars will last a lot longer. And right now, in your possession, they can sell for a lot more.

Good score . . . 👍 I'm sure DW, Ben, and a few others must have rather furrowed brows right now. I do. Cano is obviously raging.. . .

------------------------------------------------------------

ANDY!! Walmart sale! Yes! I know! Dollar a car! But dammit, by the time I get there.. . .urgh!

Maybe sometime later this afternoon. I want to complete my Graffiti collection, and missing only two cars. I do have a lot of the 2013s already, but still lacking a few of the variations I collect.
Also - haven't forgotten the Karmann Ghia - I'm keeping an eye out for stuff you might like, but being in the same neck of woods no doubt we are going to see most of the same supply.

 

[CodeRedR51]

But will we see it as a normal release and not just a $TH? I find it strange that $TH versiones are already making the rounds and, as far as I know, no regular versions has even been shown.

I expect we'll see it shortly. It'll be in the same mix as the $TH, which isn't even supposed to be out yet. Only found on eBay as those are coming directly from the factory in Malaysia (aka stolen). Mix J supposedly, which is a ways off.

[CodeRedR51]

Haha, wow. Maybe post more often so you can lighten the load.

 

[Cano]

Dude, just one pic of each car would have suficed, there's nothing really out of the ordinary in there, most of us have seen those at our local supermarkets,

Several pics of the Maisto are welcome because that is INDEED a rare car to see, but evetrything else is mainline stuff we've seen and have. Not wanting to sound harsh, just a bit of forum etiquette.

 

[Spacegoat]

Great stuff, Zach. Especially the Camaro and Merc.

Also got an eBay delivery, this purchase inspired by Spacegoat after seeing his Larkham Mitre 10 Falcon I just had to have one myself, and all the rest just came in the lot I'd won

Nice, I'm always happy to help people spend their money. Great score. 👍

 

[Madertus]

Oopsie, my apologies! I was 100% sure I only placed one pic of each car in that post
Had several tabs opened, must have forgotten about that.

 

[Cano]

Next time take a picture of the whole deal together, as if you bought them off a supermarket, we already have seen them and most probably have them.

If you get something like the old blue cards McZc just posted, or score some older loose cars in great shape, or something odd like that Maisto you posted, and which we most likely will never see, then yes by all means do detailed pictures because that is out of the common stuff everyone can find in supermarkets 👍

I preach this, all my supermarket purchases are usually shown in a single picture, but when I score old stuff (always, lol) I always show it in detailed form to show off

 

[Nessy]

Cool FSO, Madertus. 👍 Scales a bit off, being 1:43, but used to love the Bburago stuff.

Did. Whatchu gon' do 'bout it?

My road racers are becoming less exclusive That means there are no more Road Racer exclusive castings anymore. Profound Sadness.






Anyway, I'm going to show you a picture:

The low megapixel quality can be interpreted as deliberate.

I am missing the oshkosh, but as with most cars I'm missing, I'm waiting till I can score it for just a few bucks from some unsuspecting person at the flea market.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Is it sad that I intentionally go for this as an artistic effect in photographs?

 

[CodeRedR51]

He's trying to make it harder for you to see the errors. I spotted them immediately anyway.

 

[AOS-]

Hey! My phone could have done much worse!

 

[a6m5]

That was so easy. I also spotted the errors as soon as I saw Jason's post. Pfft.

I thought that Burago car was awesome looking until I saw the scale. That's cheating.

Only car I received today was another Michael Keaton Batmobile. I bought damaged card one for something like $4.50 while opened one was going for over $5. I just needed second one which was going to be "loose". I'd post a pic of it, but if I post a individual pic of just one car, Cano will attack me, so I can't. j/k

 

[AOS-]

Screw Cano, Shinji. I post individual photos all the time.

Also, y'all see this?

If that's the regular, then I found a black/gold rim OH5 variation... there were like 3 or 4 of them at one store, but only one with the PR5s.

 

[Cano]

Cano will attack me, so I can't.

I'm glad you know me.

Sssssooooo I went to Wal Mart today to grab a extra M3 for Ahmed for the Lamley contest... and found a $TH in the process, the purple Buick Riviera, hanging on the pegs, as well as the extra 62 Chevy pick up I wanted, so very productive trip.

 

[a6m5]

Doggonit. That is a nice one. I'm just glad that I have popped my $TH cherry, or I'd be so jealous right now. Again.

 

[AOS-]

one M3, $TH, '62 Chevy Pickup.

Two 2013 release 1966 Batmobiles, 2 Tarmac Attacks with different wheels, about 8 duplicates, the green 2013 Special Camaro, and 3 errors for me. Would've liked a bit more.
