What I've received this week. On the right are from McZ, left from Target on the way home, and finally, Matchbox Scion xB. They are spendy, so it took me months to finally score a couple at a reasonable price.
It was supposed to last year before that line was canceled.
Beautiful paint job on that one. Damn shame.
Does anyone know if they made a Scion FR-S yet? I am DYING to get one!
Some of us has gone Tomica or Kyosho on that one(I think they are 'Toyota' version though).
Not yet, it's supposed to come out this year.

Also, the Skyline 2000GT-R is supposed to be in the Flying Customs series this year: (Mix 5)

I'd have to get that from eBay or something, but I can not wait!

I check hot wheels just about everytime I shop at stores carrying them. I saw them for the first time today. Collectors & scalpers has picked this car clean from the very beginning, at least where I'm at.

I suppose I'll find them again, since Target's pegs are almost empty with the previous case, so they might finally update. And Walmart's dump bin is emptying out. I get the suspicion that one vendor at my local flea market must have hoarded some and already put them on his pegs. :rolleyes:

They're still relatively new, once they've been out for a while they'll be peg warmers like the Evasive S2000 and Datsun 240Z are now.

At least they'll be plentiful compared to the Enterprise... :grumpy:

Forgot to mention... My packages came in today with my TL Toyota Crown and 2000GT!

I found out today that my store is now carrying (likely a one-time) case of Hot Ones for $1.50. It was the case with Baja Beetle, GT Racer, 442 Cutlass, El Rey Special, and Meyer Manx. Does anyone need any? I got work again tomorrow so let me know soon! I'm going to check other dollar stores to see if they have different cases.

Go to hell. Stop pouring salt on the wound. Mine never arrived.

Just 200 pics per page as usual :dopey:

Also, no "normal" version of the Fiesta as it is a normal TH itself, no rubber tire version will exist.

Oh.........:nervous::scared::lol:

True. But like Jason, the TH that I want like this Fiesta is gonna be hell trying to find at least one or two! :eek:

McZachenF1138
Hey Jason, maybe you should come to Pennsylvania for Treasure Hunts!

This is what I found in two virgin bins. I did not buy all of them though.

Dang!!!!! :eek: That's trying to find a pot of gold and diamonds on the Vegas Strip and taking taking some before anyone else does.

Hey can you snag me at least two of them for me when you ever see them again? I'll appreciate it man. 👍

MedigoFlame
That is quite a pick up Zach! :crazy:

Is it me, or is the F&F mainline Supra already being hoarded? The day after I picked up my lot, I stopped by again after giving away one of my two Supras to a friend. And...they were ALL gone.

You serious?! :eek: That's fast, man, now I'm wondering ricers put them inside their "Fast and Furious" Civics giving them powarrr! :lol:

I hope you and everyone here can find at least one of these soon. :nervous: Can you keep a eye out for me as well?

BTW, do your local stores have any Kinsmart cars 1:32-1:36s also? Just wondering.

zondaman2
Does anyone know if they made a Scion FR-S yet? I am DYING to get one!

Same here, but they will be making one soon down the line for 2013. 👍

Welcome to the Club buddy. :D:tup:

Sweet! But I'm still looking for the 935 Moby and the 914 from them, but no avail! I hope I can find one of them soon.

a6m5
They look awesome. Did you show them to your parents yet, that's all I want to know.

Oooooooohhhhh.... :lol:

Don't do it Kevin! Remember under the radar...
 
I do have Kinsmarts as well, just check out your Rite Aids. There should be plenty of them in those stores.

After that, I feel like I popped my eBay/Tomica Limited cherry... :scared: Now looking at this...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120830669305

And still searching for more cars to buy. But I don't know what. Recommendations?
 
Dunno, it just never arrived. Sad.


Stop wasting money and put the damn Crown on the road already.

That sucks.

And...I've already spent plenty on some engine parts. :P Had to have the Hakosuka sedan since it shares the same birthday with me. :D
 
Had to hide all the cars I bought today in as many jacket pockets as I could.

Goes out for a "bike ride", come home with 10 cars.

Got some wicked errors:

Indeed. It would have gone great with the Vintage Racing 510 from a couple of years ago.

Sweet. 👍

If you don't mind spending a bit. This is easily one of my favorite cars in my collection. :embarrassed:
 
No, it's part of the Walmart exclusive line of ZAMAC cars this year.
The third batch of the three cars just came out and this Ferrari probably won't be in the next batch, but the one after that.
 
MedigoFlame
I mean the date of course... :P I still feel old around others of our generation though. :scared:

McZachenF1138
Tell me about it, our generation has such wretched taste in cars.

Same here, but I'm older :P (23). And I can't believe the tacky taste myself. If it's JDM, US Muscle or Euro cars, Trucks/SUVs. There's always the tacky crap that we always hear and unfortunately, it's rising. Especially the stupid fanboyism and "I'm a gangster" attitude. :lol:

McZachenF1138
ZAMAC F12? I'll allow it.

Added to my list.
 
Oooooooohhhhh.... :lol:
Stirring the pot again. :P

442 Cutlass


Boy, I don't need it right now, but it is certainly on my radar now. 👍
Just when I thought I had finally caught up with opening everything:
Harry discovers another stash. :lol:
Wow, less than a week with basic shipping! (I think)
How were the condition of the cars?
Great man & I love the cars. 👍
Indeed. It would have gone great with the Vintage Racing 510 from a couple of years ago.
Exactly what I was thinking. They should bring back Vintage Racing just for one more car. :D
 
So really thinking about scaling back on my collection again. I need to save for a 1:1 car and scaling way back on collecting might be the ticket. I'll be keeping all the Nissan/Datsun/Subaru/Mazda cars, but everything else might go. This includes the RR Muscle cars I have, Honda & Toyota cars. Anyone interested would get them in lots, not letting them go individually. (All Toyota cars or All Honda, or All Celicas, All Civics, etc) If nobody here wants them I'll think about putting them on eBay this weekend. Pricing would be fair, but some of them I paid a pretty penny for and would want most of the money back on those...
 
I'm probably gonna pass. Been too busy buying cars(I'm trying to cut down, too). :ouch:

If anyone's looking for the new Le Mans 787b, daboxtoys have it cheapest on their own website.

I've haggled on eBay without success, and when I saw them selling those cars on eBay for $24, I jumped at the opportunity(other seller wanted over $30 :crazy: ), but only to discover it would've been $21 had I ordered on their own site. :guilty:

For me, the car is worth it. I hope you guys order them, too. Very cool car, historically significant also.
