I could post pics of the antique mall an hour away, but based on these responses I probably won't. I fear some of you may require resuscitation from the jelly induced coma!

My monthly upload is planned for this week. Needless to say, but is filled with pure awesome.
 
Im not going to lie Diabolic, im not a hoarder but if I was a multi millionaire and I happened to be there, alone, you wouldn't get much after I sweep the place. ;) Literally! :lol:
 
I finally nabbed couple of Treasure Hunt Custom Dodge Van tonight. They had soft corners on those cards, so they were only $9.50 for the pair. These TH's been very popular on eBay & Toy Peddler, but I don't care about the card, so I'm happy!
Got an eBay delivery today:

I generally don't care for those MBX rubber tires, but it looks pretty decent on the Mustang. 👍 On my 3000GT Spyder on the other hand...... :lol:
And I shall add these to my Kyosho hunt list:
Might wanna opt for the 86's. Those bulls aren't going "moooo....". :P
Flea market pics from my favorite seller.
I wish we had something like that in my area. Thanks for the awesome pics! 👍

They've been letting me down, lately! I wish they'd do the Supra again. :lol:

Nice, I like that Jag, glad to see it in the 60th lineup.

I guess I'm lucky I found one this past Thursday. Ended up making a rash decision to stop by Target on the way to work and there was a Custom Dodge Van at the front of the pegs. Woo! Enterprise still eludes me though.

Also managed to finally find a Kool Kombi at a Wal-mart. I got all happy inside when I saw it at the top of a dump bin. :dopey:

Anyone know when those Fast and Furious cars will be out, if not already? Movie is a month out now so I would think they'll be in stores soon.

EDIT: OMFG I just looked it up. You are really really sick. And weird. I even feel for you a little.

I've been on a hunt for those on eBay & Toy Peddler, and this is by far the lowest price I've found on & off, like in weeks. They usually go for $6 and up. I absolutely jumped at the $9.50 for two(since I've been wanting two). As usual, we are talking about shipping included.

Yeah, I prefer to find them locally(happy for you Dwight 👍), but I'm done with a hunt, wasting time & gas.

I forgive you, because you are making fun of my taste. I think. :lol: This treasure hunt was pretty coveted though. Like I said, it took me weeks to find one at a reasonable price!
Edit: I ordered these shoes tonight(stalked these too lol). Judge me Cano, judge me you jerk! :lol:

Here's the eBay completed sales record. Absolutely cheapest one I see on there is $6. Most are around $7 & up!
Indeed. But the fact that he wanted two of them. Is the most disturbing part.

Thanks for having my back, friend, I knew I could count on you! :lol:👍
Now, those are cool. 👍
They look just like the van! I just noticed it making case for my vans!
I'll let you know I've left like 4 behind. They are hideous, even uglier than the Lincoln.
I've been asking people to look for them, this is the first response!

Edit: I have the Lincoln. Totally agreed on the Lincoln.
 
Next time I want something, I'll just declare that I bought them. :ouch: j/k

P.S. I hope you guys know that there is a big picture of that van coming up in a week or so. 100% urban-funk goodness. 👍
 
Visited cousin in Scarborough and man did I grab some neat things today. Yeah I totally just walked onto your turf, Harry. Come at me. :P

That one walmart must not have a lot of collectors in that area if I can find Hiluxs.
 
I'd probably pass on all others, but Toyota's are NICE! 👍
Holy 🤬 that flea market diabolic! :eek: Wish mine had that much!

Found a cheaper Tomica Limited Toyota Crown on eBay... :grumpy:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tomy-Tomica...87165?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item3a8089559d
How much did you pay for yours again? That is one of the spendier ones!

P.S. I liked the link off of that auction to this Crown. I used to ride in this one from time to time. It was quite an upgrade from my dad's other company car Corolla. :lol:
Anytime you make a questionable decision or purchase.
By "questionable", you mean awesome, I agree. :P

Finally got a Tomica Lexus IS-F CCS R

Nice! Can't wait to see it.

Flea market pics from my favorite seller. He rotates what he brings...genius, so each month I'm amped to go. This month he added the loose cars and vintage stuff.

$1 or 6/$5

.50 - $2 loose

$4-6 treasure hunt. Supers are $15-25

Buckets I pulled the $50 Johnny lightning skyline for $1.50

If only.

Only.

Only, I can find someone like this guy in my flea market or swap meets. :eek:

But I am between pulling a Cano or Harry here, even a Sony's moment here...... :eek::crazy::mad::crazy::P
 
Should be fairly soon. Walmarts only I think.

Oh really? Huh. That's kinda disappointing, since the walmarts closest to me suck at putting out anything new.

Ha thanks. The van is only the second t-hunt I have found this year, luckily it was one I wanted (though there are some I really, really wanted that I'll never see). Honestly, I don't know that I would have turned down two of them for that either.

Dang nice find on those Toyotas. 👍
 
anyone else amazed hot wheels has not released a LFA casting yet?

Not sure about that, since they do still have the Toyota license, but I don't think there has been any other Lexus Hot Wheels since the SC400... Would be nice to have one since I'm not to sure about spending nearly $20 for the Tomica Limited one. And the Kyosho? Not spending that much! :scared:

I spent $27 on mine with free shipping... That Crown looks pretty awesome, would have been cool if the Crown lasted longer. But I'm happy with the rarity of mine. :D
 
See! Dwight likes the Dodge, too! :D

Little bit.

I wish it was black, as one I rode in was black. Still, I couldn't spend close to $20 on that. :lol:

By your reaction, I thought you way overpaid for yours or something. That ain't bad. :lol:

Those Toyota's. :drool:👍

By "questionable", you mean awesome, I agree. :P

No, I'm fairly certain I meant questionable.:lol:👍 Still if I ever see a Dodge Van on the pegs, I will buy it. It is a TH after all. :dopey:
 
Cool, I've always liked that Matchbox casting even if it's a tad big. I want one to customize.

Nice score. But the thing that grabs my attention more is the Lego Star Wars clock. That is awesome. 👍

I generally don't care for those MBX rubber tires, but it looks pretty decent on the Mustang. 👍 On my 3000GT Spyder on the other hand...... :lol:

Thanks guys, yeah its a really nice casting that one but is a bit big, nice details though:tup:
Its funny with the MBX rubber tyres, they all look very similar and just don't fit some cars that well, on my Lamborghini Diablo the front wheels sit half way out the fender and the rims both look like different styles aswell:yuck:
If you like the clock Space, you'd love the Darth Vader Lamp his helmet comes off and all:lol:
