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

One minute: "I should sell another 200 cars"

Next minute: "I need more cars!"



Shipping from Australia = $$$$

Massive upgrading going on, and for some pretty rare cars, mainly 80s and late 70s stuff, and even a redline or two. Like 40 cars to go.

Ahhhh, Screw everyone who has either the Zamac R34s or Evasive S2Ks!!!

I have an extra one of those if anyone needs it...

I'll take it if you don't mind. Did you get my payments already? It should be there by now.

Meanwhile in Rosemead....

found this on the shelf of my local walmart and proceeded to /facepalm and laugh my ass off.

Another GTHW sighting again?! Somebody, call the cops!

Seriously, do these people know about trading the unwanted cars, giving them away or using their parts for customs? :facepalm:

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

http://lamleydlm.blogspot.com/2013/03/march-11-matchbox-ambassador-update.html

Looks nice, I kinda like the Type 34 Roadster of the Ghia, even though the coupe looks cooler. Probably, I'll get it whenever I find one though.

I want a Sierra to mod

I want a Sierra again, period! I had one when I was a kid in the mid to late 90's. It was a Matchbox series that had those circular batteries for small alarm clocks and flashlights to power the car's lights or sirens when you press the car.

I think it was a taxi or a construction car (it was yellow) and I wanted that car badly for my collection, when I couldn't get it, I had a huge fit about it! But one day we went to the mall on a saturday and I had some cash saved up. I went to the toy store and when I was looking around I actually found that Sierra (it was my fourth time seeing it!) I paid the clerk and left with a huge smile on my face. I truly loved that car, I'll find it again someday.

Evasive S2000's are out here too, you know. Ditto with the Falken Cuda (Silver?) in multipacks. If I really wanted one, I could have bought one the other day at Target.

Can you keep a eye out for me Jason, when ever you see one or two of the S2Ks? 👍

I was able to find three more of the R34 today.

New guy hitting the jackpot, eh? I'm really jelly of those BNR34s!

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

You're a monster!

👍

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.

IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!!! I'm telling you guys!

Someone knows about people like us with collecting HWs (thank goodness not the larger ones, but who knows ) and they will make things harder for anyone who collects.

No, I haven't been drinking fluoride drinking water nor diet soda, but the drones are hogging things from us. 💡

All I have to say...... Aliens and their complete mind control powers. Or wannabe collectors.

Mainline 2000GT.

I'm down for some more customs.

 

[Cano]

Finally. Shelby thingie, here we come.

Man this stuff is so stupid but you can't help but feed your curiousity.












^Custom '71 El Camino... 1:1

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Free shipping and and several skyline in this lot.

hot wheels lot

 

[CodeRedR51]

There's only two cars in that that I need.

 

[CodeRedR51]

 

[McZachenF1138]

Was just reading that article too!

The colors are great, but the exectution could have been a little better.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Meh, best one so far this year to be honest.

They had me at Yellow re-colour for the Celica.

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, yellow Celica would be SO money(not that initial green wasn't PERFECT). Love the 2000GT, too. Hopefully that one see a recolor down the line as well. 👍

I almost forgot, thing with the Celica are the headlights. I do not like them. Yellow (actual)car from Andy's link, that front end would've made it absolutely perfect.

 

[Spacegoat]

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

Scratch that, it arrived today. Some might remember I bought a Mitre 10 Falcon a few weeks ago, well I just had to have the matching transporter to go with it.

And a quick shot of it with the car.

I like that. Very cool. 👍

 

[Anathema]

Picked up some special goodies today.

Thrill Racers Silvia S15, 2010 New Models R34, OH5SP variant of the 2007 All Stars 350Z, and both variations of the Web Trading Cars R32's.

All for $3.50 from the collector's store that sells them.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Gah I need that 350Z.

 

[AOS-]

All for $3.50 from the collector's store that sells them.

Good lord by any chance will you be able to get stuff for us?

 

[MedigoFlame]

I. Want. That. 2000GT! I'll totally horde the mainlines! And that R34...also a must have.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I just want some Aoshimas, Kyoshos, and Tomicas.

 

[jtl46]

The yellow Celica looks just like the real car I pictured on the blog, including the striping. I have seen a pic but I won't post it (I don't like to post stolen items).

And yes, that '67 Camaro Super is a doozy. For me it can't beat the Toyota or '62 Vette, but it is up there.

 

[Anathema]

Good lord by any chance will you be able to get stuff for us?

Depends on what's left and if I go back to there sometime soon - I nabbed 5 of the 15 or so remaining Hot Wheels, the owner focuses on pro sports merchandise and NASCAR stuff more than the small diecasts. I can't be running around everywhere yet, still need to rely on my parents for transportation as it's too far to bike to.

Speaking of which, a package came in the mail today, the contents of which I will post later when I'm done studying for my chemistry exam (which is tomorrow, and when I stop browsing GTPlanet and get off...)

It contains seven cars, all from the 2007 and 2008 Teams of those years. (Missing one, which I need to figure out just which one it is.)

 

[AOS-]

What's this, Zach? I got a bonus Go Kart wheel with my order of Lace wheels?! Woo!

[a6m5]

Is that Sunagon on the far-left?

I went to a nearby store for sushi during lunch, found Matchbox stuff on sale!

They are all either duplicates or stuff I don't want(couple of you may have even suspected it! lol), but everything Matchbox was 50% off & main line cars were .60 cents. I got them for my nephews & future trades.

 

[Anathema]

As promised... my package contents, plus two things my girlfriend gave me about 3 months ago for an early Christmas gift that I managed to find;

Citroen C4 Rally (All Stars), Saleen S7 Race World Version (my favorite as-is design from Hot Wheels, actually)

2007 and 2008 Hot Wheels Racing Team cars, missing only the Dodge Charger Stock Car from the 2008 set. Paid $8 for the lot, with S&H included in that.

EDIT: If you didn't notice what the black thing is that the cars are in, I paid $10 for a wallmounted holder for the carded cars I have from a local hobby shop. Holds about 55 cars. Only issue is dust, but that's always an issue. I'll take a full-angle shot of all the cars on there when I have the time to take it off the wall and get it in better lighting.

 

[a6m5]

Way this hobby is growing, I'm sometime surprised by the limited numbers of displays & storage solutions available for these cars.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Oh there's plenty, they're just not cheap.

[a6m5]

Why you go blurry on the most interesting car!!! *Beemer Viper is so sweet, I especially love the color, but it needs a wheel swap job IMO. I have the Mitsu 3000GT from the same series, and those tires are horrible.

Oh there's plenty, they're just not cheap.

Exactly, which is why they are limited.
