Did you check the bins, thats where I found the supra and I found my Doms Charger at Target, haven't seen his challenger, the chevelle, and the 2 gtrs yet.

There wasn't a bin in the Walmart I went to. The Walmart I went to didn't have anything there. I checked everywhere in that store all the time, nothing!

I'll check other Walmarts in Vegas and a few stores in the city or when I go to LA or San Diego later this year, if I go out to CA.

 

[Spacegoat]

Great stuff, Ben. 👍 Don't let a6 see the JL San Antonio Spurs bus.

 

[Cano]

JL San Antonio Spurs bus

Directly to the paint remover.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Konami 1:64 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG (HS30)

I'll call her "Sanmaru-chan".



Who would think that a gaming company could make something like this?

 

[commodoreben]

That JL Spurs bus was only $2 so I couldn't leave it behind. It will be staying in its blister though. Do you think I should keep an eye out for a couple of more? Maybe one each for Cano and A6?

 

[Cano]

I'd immediately strip off the paint if there is something I can't stand on cars is stuff that isn't related to cars. The Playboy cars are like the pinnacle of stupidity, but Hot wheels has lately been striving to take that crown away with all the stupid tampo series it has been releasing.

also, cool G-nose, Kakashi. How much? E-bay?

 

[RCKakashi14]

I NEVER BUY FROM EBAY, I will say that now.


I bought it for 350 pesos (around 7-8 USD).

 

[Cano]

Dude wat.

Also ok, I'll look around.

If there is something I can't stand on cars is stuff that isn't related to cars.

Partially agree.

Sometimes it's a fun novelty of a recolour so I don't mind as much.

The new Matchbox BMW 1M:

[MedigoFlame]

I cannot wait for the 1M to come to stores! When will it appear?

For people too lazy to click on the link:

 

[CodeRedR51]

Needs some Hot Wheels wheels.

 

[zotobom]

Just bought the Hot Wheels Shelby 5-pack. Really liking the Shelby Cobra with openable hood! 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Anyone need the black R35 GT-R? (Hot Wheels)

 

[AOS-]

Wanna trade it for my FE Cadillac LMP? I recieved a parcel today only to find out I already had one.

I also have that extra blue Corsair. I think we can actually work out a new trade/transaction now, Jason.



A pro tip: Don't collect HW '59 Cadillac El Dorados. The proportions are long and narrow. It might be like the real thing, but hen you sit it beside a '57 El Dorado Brougham, it looks awful. Plus the front wheel axle is too wide and the wheels stick out. Profile views don't show you any of this and I was a victim of it.








Available to anyone (though most of you have something against Canadian shipping ):

• My entire Riley & Scott Mk III collection.
• All my Baja Beetles.
• All Saleen S7.
• MBX Sauber Group C Racer ("46")
• All Austin Healey 100s.

• Siku SLR McLaren (lime)
• Siku Bugatti Veyron (silver/blue)
• Boulevards Pontiac GTO Wagon
• MBX Oshkosh M-ATV (dark green)
• A green and yellow (mystery) '67 Shelby GT500 (2010 casting)
• All Megane Trophies (includes the yellow Majorette Racing)
• Hot Ones Toyota Truck 1987
• All my Ford 1932 Coupes

Please notify me if the links won't load.

I prefer trades for this, but I'm okay if you just want to buy. I'm also open for lenient negotiations (i.e. I can give you like a whole set of recolours for one car I want/need).


This offer is GTP-exclusive so I'm letting you guys have a chance at grabbing anything you want before letting others do. Lastly, I'll throw in bonus cars as a complimentary gift (don't expect them to be fantastic). Think of this as my spring cleaning.

Real, in-the-know pro tip: The proportions are spot on because the car is chopped. Gotta study more your custom cars.

EDIT

Ah, wait, you're talking about the ragtop, right?

Yeah that one is awfully done. Collect the closed 59, that one is perfect.

Hmm, no interest in Cadillac LMP's or Corsair's.

My Yellow OH5 Celica finally shipped this morning.

Oh, and used the money I got from the Veyron and the sale of a couple other cars to buy the F&F Mustang ($12 + 4 shipping) and a Madd Propz from the Classics series that I was missing.

Yeah, dumb dumb I am collecting only the Custom 59 and Brougham now. That's the one I ruined last night.

Also, buy my stuff. Buy a lot and shipping won't seem so bad.

 

[Cano]

Go get one of these:

I recently liberated mine. It's awesome.

Also, buy my stuff. Buy a lot and shipping won't seem so bad.

Can't do, bud. just last night I grabbed a giant bunch of 100+ JL, Racing Champions and Hot Wheels 100% for like 70 bucks. Yeah I rule.

 

[AOS-]

Cano, I can hold onto your stuff for a while. I just want to get rid of it eventually.

Oh. Did you pick up (I think it was) a dark green 100% Shelby cobra Daytona in said lot?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Those that have things waiting to go out from me will have them shipped on Saturday. So expect a PM with totals sometime later this week.

How long until we can see some pics of this lot? We are still waiting for the last massive lot pics we were promised. Does Ahmed still have any of those Lambo's left?

 

[a6m5]

Partially agree.

I'm like Andy, though it is mighty nice of you to offer, Ben. 👍 Now, if they had Manu or Timmy's head sticking out of a hot wheel car, I'd be interested. I've found one's with MJ or Kobe like that, but didn't quite like the design enough for the money they want.

Love Kobe, but I can find better cars for ten bucks.

Anyone need the black R35 GT-R? (Hot Wheels)

How much?

 

[CodeRedR51]

$2. Cost me $1.50

 

[a6m5]

$2. Cost me $1.50

Heck, if there are no takers, I'll take it!

 

[AOS-]

I already have a loose one and another that's been used for the Stealth Project If it was any other colour, I'd have nabbed it already. You can tell Jason's not big on R35s or even just the casting.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I have all of them already, except for the Speed Machines. Got this one to help someone out.

 

[AOS-]

That's nice of you. Too bad no one wants to accept my hospitality.


Speaking of, guys remember when RacingOtakun came in and offered to grab us the Decades McLaren F1GTR? He got a bunch, but still never shipped any of them. That's because he totally forgot!

BRB Going to bug him about it.

 

[a6m5]

I think I bought a black one for my nephew, but it was before I started collecting, so I don't have one. You don't have a blue R34 for sale, do you Jason?

Still looking for the R35 from the F&F, too. Which one had R35 anyway? Is it the latest one?
