[Cano]

anyone else amazed hot wheels has not released a LFA casting yet?

I'm thankful.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ugh, I hate when cars I need become a treasure hunt.

Looks nicer than that crummy green in the 5-pack.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I've been finding THs this year in droves, so I have faith that you'll find that in stores Jason. 👍
Then again, I don't know if you have had any luck finding them.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Zero.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Oh, uh...that's not cool.

Here are my 1:43 Hot Wheels models:

Ferrari 126 CK (Gilles Villeneuve '81)

Ferrari 312B (Mario Andretti)

Ferrari 599XX

Ferrari F10 (Fernando Alonso)

P.S. It's probably not that kind of models that is mainly discussed here, but they are HW, too, so it's on the topic.

Man that's awesome! Very good use of color! 👍

Finaly a normal TH worth a freaking damn. I'll chase that one down.

Here are my 1:43 Hot Wheels models:

Awesome. One upon a time they sold a blisterpack 1:43 HW Ferrari series but it was mostly composed of new trash with the exception of the 365 GTB4 which is the only one I boiught, but these are different than those. Cool stuff. I also want all your other models lol.

The Plymouth Fury is pretty nice though.

Ah no, no, from this year. There have been past THs that have been awesome.

Convention cars bring BIG $$$$. Look for the Mexico convention Datsun 510's and then tell me $54 is expensive.

 

[SVX]

Yep.

As promised here's my store stuff from yesterday.


XB Falcon, Gran Torino & Sheriff Patrol by VC SL/E, on Flickr

I've got that Falcon.

Here it is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Matchbox-Su...76676?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item2c6ba8a9e4

Goodness me some of those older matchboxes she sells are tempting.

I've got a few of that casting, very rough though.

Good luck finding a Kombi in the stores. If you find one, buy a lottery ticket too.

Are the Kool Kombis that hard to find? Tons in NZ.

What?

Like Space said - What?

Tell me about it.

Oops. Let me rephrase the question:

Who in their right mind charges $54 for shipping a single car?

It says $4.25.

And you wanna know the worse part? I saw some o the convention cars come together and they are utter trash.

That's a good thing because now you won't spend a chunk of one day's pay and you can improve your health by laughing at the dummies who bought it.

 

[Spacegoat]

If you like the clock Space, you'd love the Darth Vader Lamp his helmet comes off and all

Awesome.

Ugh, I hate when cars I need become a treasure hunt.

Exactly my thoughts when I found out the Circle Trucker was a TH this year. Never expected to find one, somehow I've found two.

I've got that Falcon.

Quiet you.

 

[Cano]

Of course. And even if they were actually well built, they all are ugly as spitting in church.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I found this rather out of place Tomica excavator at Toys R Us today. I never knew they had such a thing in their current line.
This and a Toyota Mark X were the last two Tomicas they had. And by the looks of things, those will be the last of the individual Tomicas they will sell.

As far as the Porsche goes, my friend got it out of a chocolate Easter egg that "is illegal in the United States because the toys inside pose choking hazards."
It is quite nicely detailed.

 

[Sonygamer455]

It's funny cause it's true!


Quite honestly I like these convention cars and if that one was so expensive, I would buy it!
