I'll wait. Still a couple weeks until Easter, they're bound to show up somewhere. (even if for $5 at the local meet on Friday. )

Also mate, you'll have to keep an eye for my latest e-Bay purchase when it arrives.

Looking forward to it mate:tup: Grabbed another Matchbox supercar on the weekend, Tony Longhurst Falcon, just got to wait for delivery. Got the three of them now unless there's anymore

Also ran into two stores today for a quick glance and came out with a couple of Treasure Hunts - Circle Trucker & H-24 also grabbed a Gold Gasser & Gulf Chevelle

Chevelle's got a bit of tampo damage but still had to have

I've been looking forward to the Gasser, but never even seen that Chevelle. I hope I can find a couple. 👍

This week's Matchbox Ambassador Update, including the very first image of the brand new VW Karmann Ghia Type 34:

That Type 34 is absolutely beautiful. I MUST have it.

I did kinda want the first grey gasser, but I've never seen it. At all! H-24s a T-hunt? I feel like I've seen it before, but then again, I wasn't really bothered to get it even it is one.

Just thought I'd throw that offer to you. I could say the same about my local flea market when it comes to that stuff.

I'm certain those are the only three Matchbox made, I haven't seen any others. I will say that my e-Bay grab does relate to one of those V8's. Nice grabs too, especially the Gasser re-colour and Circle Trucker TH. 👍

The Chevelle looks really mean, I'm the same hope I can grab another one with the tampo's intact:tup:

Yeah I'd seen a couple of them aswell mate and didn't take any notice of the T-hunt symbol, was only that I was browsing on T-hunted over the weekend and saw that it was

Thanks mate, you've got me really intrigued now as too what I'm going to be searching eBay for once you've posted a pic

Kevin, I can get you a gray gasser if you can get me one of those gulf Chevelles.

Gray Gassers were out a while ago, boy. I have an extra carded one I don't mind taking out of my collection for a trade.

Was talking about the Chevelle.

I'm just trying to make someone happy. Why must you take away Kevin's happiness?


You're a monster!

 

[MedigoFlame]

I'll pass on the trade for now.

Patience guys, they're coming...

Didn't say I wanted it that badly. Compared to waiting for the 2000GT and FR-S.

So that Toy Peddler seller I ordered bunch of cars from, including Bump Around & Zamac R34s...... I thought the combined freight was bit high, but whatever, I paid it. I got refund today of full $19, and a new bill for $21 with a $2 increase on the shipping. Seller name is "sellcheap4you". Six additional cars bumped the shipping from $4 to $8.25 to hopefully finally $10.25. It's not horrible, but more than I'm used to. Just a heads up.

The other seller, I can't recommend him enough. Tony charges reasonable shipping to start with(says for first 3 listings), then looks like .50 cents additional after that. He's even cheaper on the loose car shipping. 👍

Both sellers are super high volume, and I see them listing new to few year old cars all the time. I just saw Tony listing those new 240Z & Zamac R34's, too. 👍

Well my Walmart got the Easter cars, and just my 🤬 luck someone took all the Focus RS's.

I swear, someone is out to make my collection a living hell to complete.

 

[AOS-]

dealsonwheelsplus on eBay does the same. carcraze7 does 25 cents per car. prdiecast4u does 75 cents per car. Others charge a ridiculous dollar up to dollar fifty per.

Damn, I'll look for them this weekend, but I've been late to everything.

 

[AOS-]

but I've been late to everything.

You shouldn't be though. You've stopped, remember?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Honestly in my area, if you're not there when they pull the boxes out, you're already too late.

 

[AOS-]

Can you argue with that? It's Texas. More collectors, more stuff to get. Don't forget you get stuff super early compared to us

I know the feeling.

Wrong! kind of..... Because I stopped collecting, I'm no longer hounding them like I used to. I don't go looking for them anymore. I check out the Hot Wheels when I'm doing my weekly grocery/misc. shopping.

Texas?

And no, I don't get things super early.

 

[AOS-]

Whoops! My American geography derped there. My bad!

 

[MedigoFlame]

Speaking of stocks getting raided on the day they are restocked, I stopped by TRU with nothing of interest, but they were indeed restocking a bunch of stuff. Might be worth it to pop on by again sometime soon.

 

[Cano]

I'm just finishing unpacking the loose cars from the shipment that came in today, which included both Jason's and Andy's packs. Thanks for the extras both of you :0 I'll show you people soon, I still have to sort troug at least 70 cars to see if I've got them/I can upgrade them.

Then will come the carded stuff (:

EDIT: Oh and Jason, thanks for sending the redlines in those clear plastic containers, they are absolutely beautiful for storing customs that have a lot of parts, like the Nova wag I'm working on now wchich occupies two boxes. They'll be put to good use, I promise!

 

[Doth1s]

There is this little hobby shop in front of RCR and on the window is an advert for Hot Wheels. I might have to stop in there tomorrow and see what I see.

 

[AOS-]

Glad to hear the giant parcel arrived. Imagine if you wanted me to hold onto that any longer. Boy would shipping have been expensive!

I almost want to sell another lot of 200 cars again, but I don't have nearly enough to accomplish that yet... and hopefully I won't be able to for another 2 years.

 

[yabiggoose]

I would have about, 700 or so Hot Wheels all in their blisters.

Only a few Treasure Hunt and Super Treasure Hunts though, they're scarce in stores in Australia.

 

[AOS-]

Okay.

How old are cars roughly? Will you post photos? Would you consider trading/selling?

 

[Spacegoat]

Thanks mate, you've got me really intrigued now as too what I'm going to be searching eBay for once you've posted a pic

Hopefully it will arrive by the beginning of next week, if not sooner.
