Yea I do agree that the PR5's look closer to what it really has in the movie, but I think 5SP's look better on it.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Oh yeah, I picked up that Target exclusive Team HW four-pack with the DVD. I pretty much got it only for the 458 Challenge.
I also got some strange 60th anniversary MBXs for 60 cents at Walmart.

I detailed the 458 slightly; it's over in the custom thread.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Walmart stop produced nothing.

Will try again tomorrow. I just hope the hoarders in the area don't take all the Zamac cars.

Oh and Soft White bulbs suck.

@A6 or Shinji: Nice purchase and I'm glad that you got one of your packages finally! Now I see why Harry is raging mad.

Thanks man, I am SO glad that package was found. I'd have hated to lose that Caddy! And also thanks for the compliments Jarrod & zakyta!

Did my shopping today, seems like Target was pretty much empty, TRU had some old stock, but new Flying Customs with the Amphicar and what not. And finally...Walmart:

Bumper car just made me say a bad word. Twice. If I find couple of those, I'd get over the Zamac(or however it's spelled) R34! I've never seen this M250 car, but I'd get one.

Well, generally you wouldn't take pictures of machined objects with yellow tints. They just contrast, in a bad way.

They'd be okay if it was photo of a diorama set at a beach using the bulb as a source of the sunlight.... Or you can do a trash-loaded garage if that's what you're into.

Well, I learned about these bulbs from Harry just last night, which is why I was going

I hope these F&F cars don't cost more than $2.00.

I think this is the first good-looking ZAMAC.

Amen to that Zach!! But if they aren't around $2.00, but under $3.00s. I'll get them especially the R34, MkIV, 440 R/T and the Chevelle SS. Then I'll get the rest later.

Just hope they won't be any hoarders, please.

If you find some Zamac R34s for me, can you snatch me one or if there's more, two? Thanks Jason. 👍

@A6: No problem bro 👍. And besides, those are some unique and rare cars right there.

..................................

Thanks for the compliment on my pictures, but they all seem to come out too dark. Maybe I need to play around with that iso setting or whatever.

Or let there be light.

I got two bare 100 watt lights on it.

Continued here, a6m5.

Buy more lights! Daylight, Soft White, Clear.. . .

And also . . . get shades!!

Stopped at Walmart again this morning. They put out TWO dump bins and some 🤬 asshat took all the Zamacs.

^What the hell is wrong with my country, not having any of the series you guys keep mentioning? Like seriously, as if there were no (big) kids in Poland :C

Welcome to Mexico Poland.

Also, short card clearance on the Wal Mart nearest to work. They had 2011 cars, all dusty and with some very bad creases in most of the blisters. Like 50 cents each. I grabbed a 71 Mustang Funny Car TH, a Chevy Silverado for customizing, amongst other repeat/project cars and a few I never would have bought for a buck, but totally yes for 50 cents I bagged like a dozzen cars; I also found last year's TH Ranchero right in the first line, in my face. It was the only TH from last year that I really wanted, and it had escaped me for a long while. Long card though, so a full buck. No matter though, it's already out.

Sooooo productive day (:

 

[CodeRedR51]

Guess if I want TH's I should go to Mexico.

 

[Cano]

lol, not that much. I lucked out, really, as the toy department guy was still there putting stuff in the pegs, so the ]HW had just put in there. Had I been there an hour later, nothing.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm going to swing back by that Walmart on the way home again and dig through the bins some more for errors, etc since I'll have more time. I had to rush by this morning and there was a collector lady going through it already and she was also complaining that someone took all the exclusives. Plus I have to check for the easter cars as I need the Ford Focus RS from that.

 

[a6m5]

Thanks Harry, I'll be checking out the photography thread, maybe this weekend. 👍👍

Today, I had to do bunch of shopping, and found the somewhat rare 60th anniversary MBX Volkswagen Beetle(might post pic later) at Target. I thought I might get lucky & find the London Bus, or VW Bus, but no-go. One grocery store had those Hot Wheels Racing Indy cars for $1.99, but they do absolutely nothing for me.

That..... sucks, bro. Sorry to hear it. I've yet to hit Walmart, but sounds like I'll be late to the party. No bumper cars either then?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Nope, no Zamacs, no bumpers, no 240Z's.......not a damn thing.

Good news though! I found one. A Camaro. With a bent card.

Yay me.

 

[DwightSchrute12]

I went by two Wal-marts today and didn't see ANYTHING G-case or Zamac. Actually one of them put out more F-cases or pegged their bin, because there must have been 30+ nova wagons and Buick Rivieras (no sth).

 

[CodeRedR51]

Keep checking those stores, they should get the dump bins any day now. I checked my store last night and they weren't out, and then again this morning on a hunch (and late for work) they had put two bins out, and still missed out due to the hoarders.

One of them has yet to put out any dump bin in the past, oh, 6 months or so. They just peg them on a 4-ft endcap. I do not know why. The other currently has a dump bin that is overflowing in...everything. F-case, early 2013, and 2012s. And pegs were full of 2012/early 2013.

I've got half a day off tomorrow so I'll be trying one that's a bit out of the way but I've had good luck at before with them putting out stuff on time/early (last week they had a sidekick shipper display of the Matchbox 60th cars for 60 cents, which I have yet to see anywhere else).

 

[MedigoFlame]

Now that you guys are talking about it, I don't even know if I did find the 240Z at my local Walmart. I was mainly looking for those Zamac GT-Rs... Might go back and look...

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Well, I'm going out tomorrow to do some errands, hopefully I can find something new out here, especially the F&F cars, I hope . Wish me some luck guys.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Fast & Furious cars are not out yet. I expect them to hit stores in May around the release of FF6.

I think we will see the Fast & Furious later this month or early April...

Hey guys! I just found 4 $THs over the weekend. There was a huge bin at the supermarket. Lucky me!


P.S. You all suck!

It's gonna happen.

 

[Cano]

hahaha I've found $THs at dump bins, one of the most difficult to find from years ago, the Fire Eater fire truck. I've also found countless regular THs in bins, but nothing really extraordinary, just that one $TH.
