Cano, is there any photographic evidence out there that proves the existence of the white enamel Heavyweights?
I really want to know what one looks like!

EDIT: Oh yeah and today I found 3 Enterprises and two Minion Pigs hidden. I took them all. I also nabbed three 2000GTs, finally. Customs, here we go.

Nice, the red Chevelle the new TRU exclusive I read about? I'll have to swing by there this weekend. Doubt I have much luck though.

Doggone it. Had I known that, I'd have picked up two.

Found two pigs today, along with several green Kombi's, a couple Flintstone cars and left them all.

And...

Bad. Send all of that over here!!!

Also, my God that Skyline is hideous. I know it's really rare, but man is it ugly. The wheels are like the finishing touch. I understand why you wanted it, but if I do know you well, you should also think it's ugly as spitting in church

 

[CodeRedR51]

No money.

And it's alright, could be worse.

 

[Cano]

Well, it indeed could be worse

Nice grabs Ben, can't wait for my BigW to get some new stock in now, looking forward to those:tup:
Awesome collection there RCK
Can't wait to get me some of those Batmobiles A6, they look great so does the Chevelle, I like it in that colour scheme:tup:

Grabbed a few cars today, couple of MBX Construction, Baja Bandit & Ambulance, Corvette, Combat Medic, Super Tsunami and a VW Brasilia:

Siku Citroen Traction Avant & Corgi Toys Land Rover:

Got this delivered from eBay, Tomica Lamborghini Cheetah, picked it up for a .99 cent opening bid:

and then had to open the Citroen for a picture

 

[Cano]

I forgot to say:

Good morning, everyone!

Awesome collection :0

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Got my Super Street R32 Skyline in today. Bummer that the card is in mint condition since I plan on opening it.

Glad you picked it up. Price was right.

=======

A few more cars from May

Faded plastic from incorrect storing first and the better side second

More to come. Stay tuned!

 

[a6m5]

I'm visiting shooting range out of town, so I'm gonna hit some stores today. I hope I can find some new Boulevards, but I'm not holding my breath.

I like it, too. 👍

Got this delivered from eBay, Tomica Lamborghini Cheetah, picked it up for a .99 cent opening bid:

What a deal! I remember the vehicle from I think when I was a toddler! Very cool Tomica. 👍

And it's alright, could be worse.

Cool tires & wheels more than make up for the "radical, dude!" paint job.

@Gotbeef - Those are not Treasure Hunts.

Hmm don't remember mine having the green package. I'll have to look when I get home from my summer trip.

They did away with the green stripes on Treasure Hunts. Green now indicates just another series(I think called 'imagination' or something), and all treasure hunts are hidden with standard stripe color of whatever series they belong, too.

Shown today on T-Hunted.



Aside from the obvious cars, I am pretty positive these are what the currently unknown ones are:

RED: Hot Wheels High
ORANGE: Drift Rod
YELLOW: '69 Torino

 

[CodeRedR51]

New Madd Propz. Woo.

 

[a6m5]

That "Hot Wheels High" reminds me of the school bus monster truck I saw at Walmart today. Had to fight the temptation to get that & Grave Digger.

My pick ups today + Tomica from eBay:







Micky Mouse car was on clearance at Toys R Us. I just had to..... Also, 5-packs were on sale for $3. Both Hot Wheels & Matchboxes. Found the Andy-Special M2 Cuda at Walmart. My crap photography do not do justice for the Tomica trucks. They are AMAZING, both in quality & detail. Too bad they cost an arm & a leg. Coke delivery truck comes with bunch of tiny coke bottles in crates, and blue one is a Asahi paper(Japanese newspaper) delivery truck. It comes with bunch of bound newspapers. Almost forgot: Coke truck has a rack to hold the handtruck on the move.

I did forget this:



An error I spotted at Walmart.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Sell me that '59 Caddy, Bel-Air and Thunderbolt?

Let's get this cart finished up. There's nothing else you have I want that's on my list?

I'm not sure. I've been a bit busy lately with my house. Expanding my vegetable garden, new deck, a couple trips...you get the idea. I'm going to get together everything I think you wanted , including adding back the FE Elise and we'll go from there. I've been selling a couple cars a week on Amazon and the '59 Caddy and Bel-air are at $8 on Amazon. No idea why people pay more on Amazon, but boy do they. I'm going throw mine up for $4 each and see if there's interest. I only have the (rarer) gold thunderbolt so I'm keeping the white.

====================================

More Matchbox from May











Two more days of Matchbox to show and then the (more talked about) Hot Wheels begin

 

[DwightSchrute12]

New Madd Propz. Woo.

Ha I didn't know that was coming up this fall. Nice.

Dude. Amazing.

 

[Spacegoat]

Damn you a6, both those Tomica trucks are insanely awesome. 👍

 

[Cano]

They are. You look at the pics and they look like 1:43 cars, at least. Hell I've seen 1:24s that look worse than that. Incredible.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Very nice TLVs, those may be the nicest I've ever seen. 👍
But this is what you need now!

"I've stopped collecting, guys, but I'll buy this expensive truck anyway."

 

[a6m5]

Thanks guys! Andy, you smart ass...... lol


That farm truck does nothing for me(do like the piggies), but they have many more trucks I'd love to have. Like Cano pointed out, they are detailed like much larger scale, but they are also priced like it, too. I had to have the Coke truck, because you guys may have seen it, there is a larger scale American Coke truck with similar set up, and I've always liked it.

Jarrod, you need to look around for a Tomica truck.

 

[AOS-]

Speaking of smart ass, my work schedule got rearranged and I ended up having to come to work at 9 in the morning. Stopped by the Walmart next door - Fresh cases, fresh bin.

You'd figured there'd be a chance I could find something good.





And so I did.


Pictures later. I'm so happy. More happier than buying the Road Racers after learning of its value.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I stopped at the dollar store last night for a plastic table cover and they had topped off the little bin they had, plus there was a freshly cracked case sitting on the floor next to it. Absolutely not a damn thing in either.

 

[AOS-]

Apparently this exists:

Look closely. Jason would pay big bucks for it (nudge nudge).

 

[a6m5]

I want the pictures Andy!

P.S. I failed to land the yellow Celicas. Are they still new, or do you guys think the collectors & scalpers snatch them up?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Maybe, maybe not. If I found one I'd keep it. Not gonna go searching for it though.

I got my OH5 yellow Celica off the 'bay for $2 + shipping.

 

[AOS-]

Because you were lucky. I bought a ton of garage cars for $1.95 each on TTP. I was lucky because I talked to the seller.

Apparently it costs $.35 to list an item. Might be worth noting when you think about how a seller makes their prices.
