It'd sell even worse if it was.

So I saw this post from a guy on the Toy Peddler I just ordered from. Dang, dude.

 

[zakyta_4]

Awesome grabs there guys:tup:
Jelly of the Decades and that Ford & free Chev A6 and K case cars are cool McZachen, haven't seen any of those around here yet except in 20 packs but paying $25 for maybe 5 cars I want is a bit much

heres my grabs from today, the rest of the Atari cars & some others:

Also a couple of eBay deliveries, Matchbox Inaugural '56 Ford Pick Up

and a loose lot I picked up for a $5 opening bid

Don't mind the table my Labrador liked to chew anything when she was a pup and I made it about 25yrs ago at school, should just burn it and get it over and done with

Love the story behind the table. That Tempest Chevy Panel's really growing on me. I've been after a Panel that actually has the bike(in the back), but it's been a really slippery one, and I don't want to pay the high retail. It's really popular.

I like the TVR, too. I've never even seen one of those!

Edit: Just to clarify, Tempest does not have a motorcycle in it either. I'm not 100%, because mine's in a blister, too.

I think this is one of the best Greenlight models ever:

Damn.

I think this Charger is one of the best Greenlight models ever:

As someone who possesses two greenlight castings, I can challenge that (yep, even the "one of the best" bit too). The surface looks spotty here and there on that Charger. And the panel separation grooves are a tad too thick.

I'll play; I don't know why the 1970 Cuda is so difficult to get right. Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Johnny Lightning, Racing Champions have tried their hand at it and have failed miserably (JLs Premiere version is good, but it still has its flaws). But Greenlight's '70 Cuda casting is downright perfect, proportions, stance, wheel size, everything is perfect. When I got mine it immediately jumped at me how FREAKING GOOD the thing was. It's by far the best 1970 Cuda on the market at this scale:

 

[McZachenF1138]

I have that! I think it was part of some Barret Jackson series they had.
I got it at the Mopar Carlisle years ago along with a ~30 car Johnny Lightning Mopar set.

 

[Cano]

Yes it's part of the first Barret Kackson set, which also inclues a Sassy Grass Green Hardtop:

No way a Cuda sold for $486k. That's totally a made-up number, right?

 

[Cano]

Lol, it was actually avergae-cheap. Some years ago a 1970 Hemi Cuda ragtop sold for 2.2 million if I remember correctly.

EDIT: I was short. 3 million:

You should watch classic car auctions more.

 

[McZachenF1138]

'71 Hemi 'Cuda convertible prices.

 

[a6m5]

I had no idea.

Sorry, Kakashi, but I was thinking about the same thing on the Greenlight. I think their strength is in the older American cars. I have many.

Holy 🤬.

Nice stuff, mate. Especially the Ford pickup's. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Spent about $30 tonight.

Look at that cruel spotted bear... taunting me with that SLR Mclaren... Trade you 2 Matchbox Audi R8s for it.


Anywho, I finally found F&Fs. Grabbed a Charger R/T, R34 and two R35s (one to customize. Sorry to whomever wanted one, if Mattel release more recolours I wouldn't have bought a second one) .

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Look at that cruel spotted bear... taunting me with that SLR Mclaren.

While he was munching on some bamboo, I was able to sneak out of his collection the coveted SLR.

...

"what's that Panda?"

"You can't find one of your cars? That's terrible. I'll help you look later."

You're the best. No homo.

First to upload photos on Hot Wheels Wikia (wahahaha)

Still have the chance to upload the Supra. I just need to find one first.

 

[a6m5]

If you guys hurry, here's a Ecto-1 for pretty much retail cost + shipping.

 

[AOS-]

Guy has like nothing other than that. If only he had a Vintage Racing '70 HEMI Challenger. Would've been an insta-buy.

 

[a6m5]

You mean like this one?

Edit: By the way, this is that "Man Cave" guy. He says he'll be posting cars over the Memorial Day Weekend(meaning thru Monday).

Damn! 👍

That's alot of cars you got there! Especially for a $1!

I think this is one of the best Greenlight models ever:

Now I want that Charger. But GL are the kings when it comes to old school US Muscle cars. But that Charger 392.....

Spent about $30 tonight.

What cars did you get for $30?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ok, my finds tonight:

- Retro BTTF Delorean $7
- Retro Ferris Bueller Fiero $5
- Retro Bandit Trans Am $5
- Retro Beverly Hills Cop Nova $5
- Madd Propz for my collection $2
- First Edition 240Z (white) $1
- 3sp Nissan Custom Z $1
- First Edition Nissan Z (blue w/orange wheels) $1
- FTE Bugatti Veyron $1 (going on ebay)
- and a couple other misc. cars $2

 

[a6m5]

Another Bugatti(what does FTE mean again?). Nice going Jason. 👍

 

[AOS-]

FTE = Faster Than Ever. Debuted around 2004; with copper axles as well as OH5-styled wheels (technically FTEs were the start of OH5s). These axles have very little friction (and weight) and has made a huge improvement in speed records on the track (for those who actually play with these things). The current Team HW lineup has badass axle/wheel combinations too. Those spin forever.

OH5s are great for mainline basics because of the reduced amount of material. The narrow spokes joined together with a solid piece made them spin longer. But again, without the copper (or whatever it may have been), it's not as superior.

But GL are the kings when it comes to old school US Muscle cars.

I'm not so sure about that one, man. M2's pretty godlike.

 

[a6m5]

Every time I see FTE, I'm thinking Failure to eject.

I concur on M2. They more than hold their own.
