wow, wtf. 44 degrees. You need, like, snow.

EDIT: Wow, that HW Mustang-into-M2 case. What the hell.

 

[a6m5]

That is a much classier swap than I posted a pictured of from Walmart(it was actually a horrible store repackage).

Beer? Need something stronger than that after the day I've had.

I don't even drink(usually). Just soda, juice, water, tea....... AND COFFEE!!!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Damn theives.

 

[DwightSchrute12]

That Challenger, it's a frigging Treasure Hunt, that's why I can't find it. I think I read about it before, but way you presented it I think reminded me. Nice grab!

Yes, the Coke truck is nice...... I so want to break loose those coke bottle crates, but I don't really want to hurt the value.......

P.S. Stay away from the Toy Peddler guys, it's like a toy store...... wait. It kinda is.

Yeah the Challenger is a TH, and probably the one I wanted the most. Glad I could find it. I've done well with the regular TH's lately. Still have yet to see a Super in store though.

Man, love that '57. Very nice. 👍

Yeah it is nice, I think the color is awesome as well, and makes it pop even more.

These found at Target, another Prototype H-24, Porsche 935/78 & U.S.S. Enterprise and then went for a walk around the store as they have a big toy sale on and found a bin full of cars that isn't normally there. Had a rummage through it and pulled out a $TH Bone Shaker

Gah jealous of your two Super Bone Shakers. Nice find.

Hit up your Big Lots stores. They're getting those HW Indy cars. I'm gonna snag some for their wheels.

Already have an Indy set, but yeah, for $2 each, I think they're definitely worth picking up for those that don't have them.

 

[CodeRedR51]

@Cano - two black wheels, two gray and a chrome. Left the pink ones behind.

Got all black for me.

Great! Nice color selection dude, thanks a lot (:

If I remember correctly, these are screwed rather than rivvetted together, so they're even easy to take appart.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Wrong.

 

[Cano]

:0 damners. Last one I took appart was screwed!

 

[CodeRedR51]

These are 2012 cars, must have changed it.

EDIT: wheels are just sitting in there though, so they come right out.

 

[AOS-]

OH. It's that series. Cano, he's talking about the other one. We were thinking of the same series. Did you want the bodies? I have 3 of them I can give to you as a gift the next time you buy some donors off me.

Still have yet to see a Super in store though.

Speaking of...

Don't regret getting my schedule changed one bit. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ever found this. I had lost all hope of ever finding Supers too.





In any case, I'm done buying for the month so I can start revealing my purchases this month. Let's start with some Porsches.

Congrats bud. 👍 I hope Dwight can find his soon, too. I've only found one ever, and it was the gold Falxon XB. I sold it, but I kinda wish I kept it now.

......................there is just one day left in the month, Andy.

 

[Spacegoat]

Maybe. I was going to go later tonight since it's 117 degrees outside right now,

Man and I thought it got hot down here in summer.

Edit: Oh and congrats to zakyta and Andy on the $upers. 👍

Ey-yo mang, Canada Post don't do no shipping on Sundays aaaaaight? I got dem 2 parcels in traffic as I write this and I know they won't reach my crib tomorrow and I'm also anxious to show you guys mah SWAG.







Plus, July 1st is Canada Day. I've save that day for a blog about customs. (wink wink hint hint nudge nudge)

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Let's start with some Porsches.

Do you want a minty red 930? Or a VG-NM G-Force var.? I have several of each?

 

[AOS-]

While I do collect 930s, I'm not interested in acquiring a duplicate. Thanks for the offer though.

Do you any Ferrari 156s?

 

[DwightSchrute12]

Dang, nice find. A good super to find as well, love the casting.

Dwight does too.

I didn't really care that I never found any of the first 5 or 6 supers this year. All of them had something I didn't care for - color (el camino ughhhh), wheels (mustang) etc.

But the past 4-5 supers have been really nice. Yesterday one of the Wal-marts I was in had about 40 Ford Rancheros. I went through them all like 3 times thinking "How is there NOT a super here". Oh well. Maybe one day.

 

[a6m5]

I get you bro. Some Supers, I don't even bother going through them!

I found mine in a small drug store. It's too competitive in large stores, and that's if the store employees aren't cleaning out the (incoming)inventory first.

 

[Cano]

All the $upers I've found are crap. I want that Toyota. Screw you Andy.

 

[AOS-]

I'm almost ready to pay up to $10 for a $TH '63 T-Bird, and maybe a $TH '58 Fury. I've found sellers, I just have to make a decision.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Curse you Andy for getting that Super T-Hunt 2000GT...

Stopped by the open and indoor flea markets today where both didn't have that much. Forgot to get pictures of the cars, but this is what I got. The indoor had little, only a Matchbox Mustang Boss 302, Volvo C30, and a HW 350Z. Meanwhile the open flea market had...these two beauties:

Same colors and what not. Seems that this vendor has a box full of the Premiere Edition and w/e other series these ones came in. No Toyota Supra that I could find though... $5 each...too much?

 

[AOS-]

I wouldn't mind paying $5 for an FD. I'd mod it though.


I found out I bought an extra Spectraflame Dark Gold '63 T-Bird accidentally today. Anyone looking to get one of these?

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Hey Cano, Kevin, got room for one more person? Because I'm getting....... Curse you Andy, a $TH 2000GT?!?!?! I have looked everywhere and I can't even find ONE!

How often do they have any good cars at your flea markets Medigo?

Because if you don't mind, I have a list of HW and MB that I need. Can you keep a eye out? I'll PM you a message later, if you don't mind.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Send me RX-7.

 

[Cano]

$5 is reasonable for rubber-tired limited production cars retired almost 15 years ago, me thinks.

Could you keep an eye out for this:

Please (:

 

[Spacegoat]

$5 each...too much?

Good value, if you ask me. Awesome stuff. 👍

 

[Anathema]

Picked this up at a local car show for $2. Kremer Porsche CKS, 1:40th scale.

Might become my first custom work, I despise those cheap wheels. Anyone have an idea of its worth? Can't find this specific one on eBay, instead I'm finding different colored versions.

Try the Scale Model Thread, too. You may find someone out there who knows.

Meanwhile in other news.. . .

Used condition though.

[EDIT]

Another, but ridiculous postage price.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-PACK-MA...02427?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item51ae8e261b

Seems to me, the one to have is the (Number 19) Dunlop livery version, looks like it commands a much higher price/value.

I like the Europa.

On sale today in the hobby store where I usually go:

and hoping they have this soon:

...though the Superleggera's spoiler turns me off. Not in the right proportions.


Good morning...
