Just got 50 cars today from a flea market for $30. Do the math and that equates to 60 cents a car.
That includes TWO KMart 240Zs and lots of good Ferraris. :D

Because, for me, it is such a project to take a picture of all of them, don't expect photos soon.



Edit: Really?

After many interviews with my fellow collectors at school, I'm concerned that the Hot Wheels racing livery Chapparal 2D and the HW racing livery NSX racespec models are very rare. Does anybody own these? I can't post pics right now, so I'm going to describe them.

The HW racing livery is blue and red in candy metallic, while the HW logo is in matte white with matte black text. The logo is put on the side doors. On the NSX, it says "1" on the hood, the 2D doesn't have a number.

No sign of the F&F cars at my walmart... Those plastic bins are still there.

On another note, my Tomica Limited Nissan Skyline PGC10 GT-R arrived! :D

Nice! Gotta get those Hako Skylines bro. 👍
 
The latest recolour on the Fisker Karma was so tempting.

Gloss Black, with black 5-spokes. Good thing I'm getting rid of them. Save myself a dollar :P

If the mailman can stuff his mail down my mailbox, he will. :rolleyes:

Apparently you made one mailman very happy with your statement!

th


Cars I'm looking for recolours of are highlighted in yellow.

So, just to be sure. I'm only looking for cars highlighted in yellow in colors you don't have listed? You have every variation of the "Keeper cars?"

Example: Under Datsun, you have TH listed. Does this mean it's the only one you're looking for or the only one you have? I have every 240Z except the Super, the Classics in black (which I find hideous) and the FE w/10SP. Not that they're available, just to let you know. :D

Oh sorry, I should've clarified. This spreadsheet documents every car I have, not want.

Blue highlighted cars are ones I'm keeping, green ones are ones I stopped collecting recolours of, purple are ones I've took out and listed (they'll disappear once the lot actually sells). For our purposes, we're only looking at the yellow highlighted cars. The colour description can be ambiguous but present them anyway in case it may be a different recolour I don't have. I look forward to seeing a list and thank you for going through the trouble. :cheers:
 
My newest loose storage center.

(2) vintage storage cases. Each has 18 compartments that can accomodate 7 cars in their mini blisters







Both cases, which I assume were originally made for holding nails, screws and the like, cost me just $4.99/piece. :)

So, I was correct in thinking I'm looking for variants of the cars highlighted in yellow not listed, like nearly all 240Z?

EDIT: 🤬 Double post. Thought I was adding to my previous post!

As in the one in this photo of mine?

The 240Z is highlighted in blue, so I'm not looking for those. (edit: or should be. Sorry. I didn't update the 2012 side so I get priority mixed up. I'm updating it right now and should be done in 10 minutes.)

I think you're mixing up colours with Row 1 which is just a legend. Let me move everything down a row to make it clearer for you. :)

Well, I'm 🤬 My high-profile Kyosho from Hong Kong, seller pulled a fast one on me.

It came in today..... with no display stand, no box. I paid $22 for the car & $9 for the shipping! I just messaged them proposing I either get the display + box, or $8 partial refund.

They were clever about listing it, too. I went back to the page, and there is no mention of base or box in the listing. Not listed as new or used either. I'm ready to fight them on this. 👎
Latest Matchbox Ambassador Update, including the full 2013 lineup:

I recently bought couple of those Caddy ambulances. Very 70's cool. 👍 I'm trying to cut down, but I will have to get that yellow fire engine(I forget the name). I do have the red.

Kyosho 1:64 Nissan R390 GT1:
Nice. NICE. :drool:👍

Gambatte ne, a6-san. :lol:

Thanks. I just have to grab that R390 before any other ninja or mere mortal can have it. :D

And it's discounted at 15%. Gotta grab that opportunity!

Good deal, Kakashi. She's a beaut! 👍 And Andy, is that a seller name(not mine), or are you making fun of me? :lol:

Oh, well. I can still take pictures!



I so want to spam this page, but I'll spare you guys:






Not gonna lie, tininess of the decals are insane. That Lotus emblem on the nose, you couldn't see that that well with naked eye. Not bad for a car seller ships rolled up in a frigging (clean)toilet paper!

Both of those cars, I'd have bought had I seen them in stores. I've never seen them, obviously. :lol: I hope Jason's right about the Fast & Furious cars, but I HIGHLY doubt it. :dopey:

P.S. Just in case you guys are wondering, the little guy in the pic is the 1/64 Kyosho. :P Big brother is a 1/18 Minichamps.
 
The time has come for you lot to enjoy one of the few times I am able to contribute to this thread. :P (and with my photography skills, "enjoy" is up for debate...:boggled:)

These are all the cars I bought this past semester. Not as many as previous semesters, but lots of good stuff (for me).

Everything before uncarding (plus one mystery car already opened).

Matchbox 5-pack (pre-uncarding) with STi police car was an insta-buy, and although I have the normal series Gallardo Polizia there was no way I wasn't going to buy get the 60th version...plus a black version in the 5-pack. :D

KITT and A-Team Van. I was never able to find a normal series KITT but I do have the normal A-Team Van...bought this anyway. The rubber tires especially are super sweet.

HW Shelby 5-pack. Yellow Cobra made it an insta-buy.

The three cars from the Matchbox police 5-pack I kept (the silver Mustang convertible and blue tracked thing were donated - all the cars I replace/don't want are given to my mom who puts them in the pre-school classroom she teaches at for the kids to play with...they love them and always notice immediately whenever she's added even one new car I've given her. 👍).

All the 'ghinis I bought (and they're all Gallardos...one of the cars that I'll buy any variation of it that I don't have). Black polizia from the 5-pack.

The two Ferraris from this batch. LOVE the 458 Team Hot Wheels paint, definitely different from every other 458 I have.

http://imageshack.us/a/img191/718/dsc02924qh.jpg
All the American cars from this batch (except one which I forgot about and took a bad picture of later :P). New Viper, Team HW Camaro, '80s Corvette, etc.

http://imageshack.us/a/img577/6977/dsc02935e.jpg
The one American car I forgot. Love the mismatched wheel colors (not an error as far as I know :P).

Porsches. 918 in front, the 2 911s in back are Matchboxes.

British stuff.

BMWs. On a later trip I had clean forgotten that I had bought the M3 and decided against buying one that day...imagine my surprise when it showed up when I took everything out of the bag at home. :P

http://imageshack.us/a/img593/1675/dsc02932gy.jpg
Japanese stuff. Love the paintjob on the Subaru, it's a shame it's a bit blurry. Another R34 to add, not to mention the AE86.

http://imageshack.us/a/img829/6113/dsc02936xo.jpg
Other stuff. :P

Everything uncarded, donated cars not included (this includes the red Corvette mystery car you can only see in the first picture). Matchboxes facing left, Hot Wheels facing right.

P.S. Dat Kyosho R390... :drool: :drool: :drool:
