I love that Beetle there A6. 👍

Question for ya'll, but these new Corvette series vehicles, are there any chase cars or uncommon ones I should be looking for?

If you are referring to the ones I just posted, they were in those smaller blue cardboard bins they peg at the end of the aisle, like they do with those Fast & Furious cars. I got them at Walmart, and I'm just guessing, but something tells me it's their exclusive.

What did you get?

Thanks for answering a question with another question.

Bought 6 JGTC models. Let's hope I wasn't completely naive in that they're all Beads.

 

[a6m5]

Sounds very exciting. I can't wait for the pics!

Funny how those 'Vettes are re-releases on fancy cards.

That's what I figured, and it was perfect as I decided I wanted Z06 too late! They were .97 cents I think(already opened one of them).

Speaking of too late, I picked up the very first Hot Wheels I decided against giving to my nephew(Very reason why I got started in this hobby). I already have one of thse, Treasure Hunt version & the Super Treasure Hunt, but I think this basic mainline has the best paint job of the three.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Heres the new zamacs + the titan I picked up.

 

[AOS-]

That's a Scirocco and GT-500 are a goto for me. Hate to keep asking favours of you, Jason, but if you find more, could you grab those two for me please?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Got them at the Friday meet, and may not go back for a couple weeks. Tight on money right now.

UPDATE: My dispute regarding the stretch rods was settled. I told them that if they waived the second invoice, I will walk away. I got email back from a lady in their accounting, she says that there was misunderstanding on both ends, they'd be more than happy to make the second bill go away.

Good to hear. 👍

Just bought $78 of Kyoshos .

Wow. Looking forward to seeing what you got. 👍

Could be. I have heard on Lamley's Facebook book page that the Fast and Furious Mustang is a chase car and pretty scarce and I can believe it because I haven't seen any anywhere. Im wondering if this new Corvette series has any like that.

That Titan is awesome!👍 It would look even better with gold 10sp's.

I like that dirty Jeep you got A6. Here are some more pics for you guys to look at. All of these are from my local flea market.

Thanks Ben. 👍

Good to hear. 👍

I'm glad it's over with. 👍

Just gotta pick the right six numbers.....(lotto joke). Remember I am ready for the Retro Ghostbusters & whatever series Toyota truck whenever. 👍

Ah, good point, I didn't even think about that.

Cars with green check marks are the cars they still had left, so chances are, ones with the blue X's are rarer.....

not my pic


P.S. Page I found while I was looking for the above pic. Do check it out, it's awesome.

Edit: Took the '53 Ford Crestline Victoria out of blister(it was scuffed). You might notice blemish on the rear windshield, which was unfortunate. Keep in mind, this thing is a hot wheels sized model. Just cool. 👍



original size
I don't know who David Chang is(designer, supposedly), but he's got style. 👍

Ah ok, I'm in no rush with the Zamac cars and F&F cars. I can wait, just let me know when you're heading back soon. 👍

 

[AOS-]

Ditto. Thanks, Jason.

Really nice stuff, Ben. 👍

 

[photonrider]

Great pick-ups, Ben. 👍
I see you're buying again.

 

[zakyta_4]

It's crazy how fast this thread moves.

Some awesome grabs there guys, really liking that Defender AOS, A6's muddy Jeep & '53 Ford, infact all the stretched cars are cool, R1600's Titan and those boulevards Ben all nice
So jelly of all these flea markets, I go down to my local Sunday Market and its just stuff people are too lazy to take to the dump

grabbed some stuff over the weekend:
MB Garbage Grinder, HW '64 Lincoln & Shelby GR-1 TH

also managed to grab these, one at BigW and the other at Target:
MB 60th Anniversary Routemaster Buses

 

[commodoreben]

Great pick-ups, Ben. 👍
I see you're buying again.

I'm glad everyone likes the cars I've managed to get. I shouldn't be buying so much again yet but couldn't help myself. Still not working and have the Monster Jam race I'm going to in October.

 

[SVX]

Went to the store and noticed they finally brought out the new stuff!

Said stuff included:

• Pagani Huayra
• F&F Supra
• YELLOW CELICA!

Sadly I didn't bring any money so I couldn't get anything.

 

[a6m5]

I've yet to find any yellow Celicas. And those TWO Routemasters are both chases.

That's why you always carry your bank/credit card with you at least.

But before that, who goes to a store without money?

 

[iceprincexxx]

Just bought $78 of Kyoshos . Guess how many I grabbed?

Wow that's a lot of money. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you bought.

Josh, I used to browse stores a lot too when younger without a penny in my pocket. Hey - that's part of manifestation; you got to believe it's possible that you actually have money in your pocket and you are shopping, before such event substantiates into reality.

What chances in getting a 'paper route' over there, or some other way of boosting your income? You should be of age now that the farmers out there at the very least could do with some help and put some extra dollars in your pocket. Is it true that NZ prices are higher than the norm?

A full-blown hobby can cost a lot; there are months I've spent nothing . . . and there are months I've blown in excess of $300.00. I have never purchased online, though, every vehicle I have has come off a retail peg - but, there are probably a dozen loose cars I have picked up at a yard sale or two. Never purchased at a flea market either - though I seen a few displays - with either overblown prices for the better models - or sucker-low prices for cars that really are ghastly kids' toys clumped together in huge give-away lots.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Those of you finding the new Yellow Celicas, can you keep an eye out for a wheel variation for me? They are supposed to come with MC5 wheels (thick spokes, no open holes between spokes) but they are also being found with OH5's (thin spokes, open holes between spokes). I NEED the OH5 version. Thanks!

 

[photonrider]

Hm. Yellow . . . OH5s . . . no luck here.

 

[Spacegoat]

*Snip*

Great stuff, mate. Jelly over the 60th Anniversary Buses and the Shelby TH. 👍

DAYUM! I've always like that casting, perusing the flatbed version right now. How much Ben?

EDIT: Woi, just grabbed a lot of redlines. Been a while (:

I went down the the store after getting a free pizza, just to see what was there (I got told there was a huge gaming sale). Might go back down today and get a few. Really don't have any space for more Hot Wheels cars, especially considering how much they are. 👎

And I'm too young to have those.

I just didn't have any money on me.

I normally work for my dad to roll the dough in. Stuff like weedeating and things like that.

I'll have a look, but even if I do find one, I'm not sure you'd be in to the shipping cost from here.

I know your not going to like how much I paid it. It was $40. But down here that is a good price. Especially when the XB Falcons that are from the Convention that was held here goes for over $30 on ebay.
