Oh god that 2000GT...



Want.

 

[AOS-]

Just ordered 800 plastic cases for loose cars..... for $180. The largest invoice I've ever received. At least the toys can be tossed in a tote a little less carefully now and I have containers for my customs.

My first ever 2014-

Oh, Jason!

 

[CodeRedR51]

Huh? Pretty sure that one is a '14.

Haha, enjoy the total lack of space 👍

Im happy most in here have liked my real car. Im thinking of starting a thread to show both my new car and my old one. What do you guys think?

If you do, I'd check it out. 👍

They aren't that big. The total amount of space I'll end up using will be larger than the amount I've currently consumed by an estimated amount of 40% more. That ain't a lot and I have room for another tote which I can stack them in.

2013 Retro Entertainment Ferrari 308 GTS QV.

Looks very similar to the Ferrari Garage Series:

Main difference is the beige interior, the rear license plate (and maybe the nearby tampos), and the ducts in the front being coloured in. In other words, more effort has been put into the Retro Entertainment so it doesn't look completely identical to the Garage.

 

[a6m5]

I have couple of those(technically more) Garage versions, and remember being torn if I should buy the Retro Entertainment or not. I thought Hot Wheels are totally suckering the collector out of their money with minimum effort.

I couldn't remember if I did buy it, went to search photobucket & yes, yes I did. Nice pics!

So with the latest Subaru Impreza mainline, there's a PR5 variation to look out for. Do it.

 

[Cano]

2014s finally landed here. The Datsun truck is sweeeeet. Also, grabbed the way WAY ugly Subaru TH. Should land whatever other cars I need for future custom projects soon.

 

[zakyta_4]

The stock Holden looks pretty cool & interesting, but that racing version...... those rims & tires! Sweet car. 👍

Those Walkinshaws are brillant Zakyta. Ive got the stock Silver one in 1:18 and I love it.

Nice. 👍


Yep, same here. 👍 Would have loved to have had the 1:18 HRT version to go with it. But the prices they are going for these days.

Thanks guys:tup: I know what your saying Space, I've been looking for a 1:18 standard Walkinshaw but the prices

Great cars AOS & A6, really liking the S7's nice

Grabbed a few cars this week

was pumped to find 2014 XB hadn't even seen any pics of it beforehand

I know what your saying Space, I've been looking for a 1:18 standard Walkinshaw but the prices

Tell me about it. Happy that my dad got me a standard one when they first were released years ago but having said that, mine's worth diddly squat now because my aunt threw away the box and the COA not long after that. Here's a tip, never remove anything from it's box to display it on your desk for even a day, never.

Neither have I.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hmm, that Meyers Manx is news to me.

 

[AOS-]

What? You guys like the Meyer Manx? Boy do I have good news for you!

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm just saying I didn't know about a new one.

 

[a6m5]

Me neither, nor Falcon XB. Falcon XB's always an welcome addition. 👍

 

[MCNAGTROC]

 

[Spacegoat]

Probably old news but only just saw these on posted on Lamley. Ferrari F12 Berlinetta by CM models.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Yep, another batch of OEM/ex-Kyosho beauty. There will also be a BMW Z4 GT3 and Mazda CX-5 coming up...

 

[MedigoFlame]

So the Corvette C7 Stingray has been released with the A-case? I'm seeing some of those 2014 cars, but none of the C7. Did they disappear along with the Datsun 620s because of hoarders or something? I saw only ONE Datsun 620 once in a Walmart dump bin and never saw it again... And never saw the C7.

 

[CodeRedR51]

A case I think, on a 2014 card but still considered a 2013 release. Confusing.

 

[MedigoFlame]

I knew it was supposed to be a 2013 release, late... I'm just confused with never having seen it on the pegs with the other A case stuff and in Racegroove's case videos. And yet, other members have posted pictures of their C7 with the Datsun and what not.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Might not be in every case.

yup I just stumbled across it in one of bins at walmart.. I looked through the top layer and that was the only C7 I saw. It was the first time I had seen one

Some of the best grabs ever:

[HTF] BMW 2002 Black MC5 variation. It was sold loose, and yes it's legit.

1983 Hot Ones Shelby Cobra 427 (the first release of this casting!)

1996 FAO Schwarz Hot Wheels History II Set.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Send me a list of what Cobras you are missing. I see tons of them every Friday.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Fancy a F.A.O. Schwarz HW Corvette Convertible? I bought this 2 years ago, and it's a random find.

I think I already have in the past. Twice, maybe. http://athobbies.blogspot.ca/2013/09/diecast-collection-s.html#427

 

[CodeRedR51]

Once, actually. And you've bought a crap ton of cars since then so it was out of date.

A printable list would be fantastic, my phone sucks.

 

[Cano]

1983 Hot Ones Shelby Cobra 427 (the first release of this casting!)

Yummi. And minty. Great grab dude, it's an elusive car. I'm still on the prowl for that one. The Real Rider's got nothing on this one.

 

[DwightSchrute12]

My haul for the past couple weeks. First up are the final 3 ZAMAC cars and some 2014s. There were all found in a dump bin at the back of the store next to the restrooms. I wouldn't have even seen it if I weren't walking by the back of the store by electronics on the way to grocery.

Then I was at a Toys R Us a few days ago. Every Target around here, and a couple Wal-Marts, all have the "A" case of Cool Classics. At this TRU, they had about 8 A case Cool Classic Cars and 1 C-case car. Just one. So odd. But I grabbed that one.

On a whim I also checked out a Gordman's. Not many Hot Wheels (lot of Retro, batch with Brady Bunch car in it) but they had a few cases of GreenLight cars. 2.99 for them as well, not bad at all.

Also I found these displays at TRU, each one holds 6 cars and they are stackable. Those HWC cars really pop now. Shame I'll be waiting awhile to put those Gulf beauties in there
