Pretty cool easter egg stuff GrayFox! If you don't want that C1, I'll take it. :P

Went out yesterday doing some shopping and came across this in a book store.

That specialty store has a ton of these and they never sell. Do you want me to grab you some? There's a yellow gallardo and a gray reventon. I think there was also murcielagos.
 
I quite like the Murcielago LP670-SV, so that would be of interest to me... Since I missed out on the HW Murcielago SV. They had a yellow Gallardo LP560-4 there as well and they were on sale.
 
Sometime this week I hope to have a HUGE eBay wins post. I've been getting cars, 1 and 2 at time, and just when I was about to post, I came across one last lot of cars. Soon as they arrive, I'll get them ALL up here. I believe everything is pre-2000, but I'm not entirely sure all that I've assembled to date.

I wanted to let you all know now as a public service. :lol:

Also, with a few days notice, you'll have time to stock up on your favorite jelly!

EDIT: Just bought another lot!

What's the Nessy clinic number??

Ive got a few of those easter eggs aswell Greyfox. I got a BMW 535i in one and I still have 3 more to open. Did you find yours at Woolworths?
 
Well finally managed to get around uploading my photos on Photobucket. It appears AOS- was right, it is something on my computer I was using that's causing the problem because every other computer I try works just fine. Going to try to get it fixed soon.;)

Anyway here are my purchases from last time:

Skyline Zamac. Knock on wood, there was actually a good number of these at Wal Mart!👍

Pretty happy for myself for finding those zamacs.:D

Edit: Reuploaded since I no longer need Photobucket.

Just so you know, I'm not desperate for $1.50. Negotiating with me doesn't put you at an advantageous position at all. :P
 
Ahh, the joys of going to a grandparent's house & finding old cars that their kids left in there, still in the package;

Go Kart, Lamborghini Diablo, Twin Mill II, and a Zender Fact 4. (Plus a photobombing USB drive.)


And the picture of my car holder, complete with 55 of my favorites;

032513104600.jpg

Ones of note include the Batmobile, full 2007 Taxi Rods series, Buick Grand National, Lotus Esprit with a defect (left side of the rear wing looks like it was melted) and the numerous '60-'70's American muscle cars. (and the JDM collection.)

Could list all of them because of the horrible quality image, but I'll do that when I have time later.

a bit disappointed in the supra's quality :( went to franks and the guy was unloading some of the new cases right in front of us. Some guy left with 3 supras. it was 2 bucks, but compared to that ebay link, it seems like i got a bargain :scared:
 
The F&F series coming out (Walmart exclusive?) will have the same Supra with PR5 wheels and more detailing. It'll probably be $2 retail.
 
Considering my local stores have been conveniently devoid of skylines, datsuns, supras, corollas, and anything hot wheels hip i had to make sure i got at least the mainline. :/ but ill definitely be picking up the fnf series if i see it
 
speaking of the FnF series has anyone actually seen this out in stores yet? really wanting to pick a few of these up. ive seen them on ebay but would rather just got buy them




 
Coming soon, in the next month or so. Look for it in something like the photo below, a cardboard display that hangs on the side of the isles.
