What kind of cars though? Is it all of the Cobra's you have? :embarrassed:

In that case my guess is 34.56 Kilograms. :sly:

You can have a bunch of cars I've been meaning to get rid of. Won't charge you a thing even. Anyone is welcome to try at it a free prize.

I'll get you a measurement in the future as I've moved all the cars in two different totes last night.
 
Helped my parents move today, found a huge box of mine that I forgot about. Found tons of goodies that some of you might be interested in, including old Dub City cars and Jada Import Racers. Best find was a small box with 6 2003 First Edition 24/Sevens still in their blisters. :drool:
 
Proof that there is still good people left in the world:

Upon John's post on his blog about the availability of Boulevards at Tuesday Morning, I immediately called the hotline to see if they had any. The hotline said they had eight, so I ran down there Friday to gobble them up.
I looked and couldn't find them, then a lady (who turned out to be the manager) asked me if I needed any help. I said yes and described what I wanted. She said that they do not have those, but they were getting a shipment in on Saturday and that she was almost certain they would be on the truck.
She then asked for my name and number and told me she would call when they got to them and then would HOLD them for me until I was able to pick them up.
So, she called and I went and got them today. The said not long after they got done unloading the truck, a guy came in asking about them and she shut him down saying they didn't have any. :lol:

Anyway, I got:
993 Porsche
Jeep Wagoneer
C6R Corvette
(3) Vic Edlbrock Corvette
(2) Ford Bronco

One Bronco and one Edlebrock Corvette are for sale/trade.
 
I thought they were going to be the cars from one series earlier than that. I'll check them out now if I get the chance.
 
EHHHHHHH? Even you're unsure?! Damn it. Would "Limited Edition" bring anything to mind?

It could be, but I don't know. It's been a while since HW made limited editions of stuff, and those wheels might be too new to qualify. It's a real mistery, that car.

also grabbed this today from Diecast Addicts to put my Biante & CC 1:64's in:

Killer display 👍

I hope to get that Secret Treasure Hunt WRX eventually, too. Very nice. 👍

They're everywhere in here. I mean EVERYWHERE. You'll find it.

The depth of that tote. Guess how heavy this 68L tote is when it is fully loaded with cars?

Oh joy. I'll bite. 37 kilograms.


But anyway, I pulled my cars out to organize em and to do more blacklisting, but before I did, I grouped the same cars together and stacked them to get a sense of how many recolours I've progressively obtained:

Any shoutouts you'd like to make? :)

Dat first edition blue Cobra, plz.

The last time they got some HotWheels in, the lady here did the same thing for me. My store gets shipments on Mondays, so will check back on Tuesday....evening. :P


Coming...was busy tonight and now it's dark. I don't use my camera when it's dark. In any case, most of the cars will be loose as the box they were in wasn't very sturdy so the packaging on some is not that great, and also it had a mouse problem so it might not be a good sanitary situation for me to sell them as-is, even if I attempted to clean them. So I'm just going to cut them open, take the pics, and whatever you guys don't want goes on eBay.

Im going to guess 42kg. Spacegoat and Zak check out any Reject Shops near you. I found the one near me selling M2's and I got the last one they had left. I post some pics in a couple of days
 
I'm a long time Hot Wheels/Matchbox collector. Today, I picked up two new models. There were several at the shop, but I went for a Hyundai Genesis and a Ford Fiesta. These are Hot Wheels Testing Facility specials, with a new kind of construction involving nickel-plated axles and low rolling resistance wheels. I compared them to two of my older models with the more traditional construction, and in both tests the new models had greater speed.
 
PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCSSSSSSS :hypercrazysmileythatdoesn'tworknow:

Listen here man, I had maybe a 1 hour window yesterday where I had optimum lighting so the photos didn't look like crap, even then I ran out of that light before I was finished. And then, I had them ready to post last night but a certain website was down for maintenance for almost 5 hours.

Notes:

1) The NISMO S14 Silvia may not be for sale. I may keep it unless someone offers me a lot for it.
2) You have until 8am Tuesday to make your choices and then they go on eBay.

Edit: No crazy smiley? :(

How much for the Jadas? I want the AE86, the Grand National, the red/black Cadillac, the silver Cadillac, the yellow Chevy truck, and also how much for the 100% Hot wheels?

And no smileys at all... for now.

Quite like the S14, but I've got no money to offer. Unless a trade somehow works, but even then I couldn't do that since I have barely any time to ship anything... Never realized the NSX was part of that line. I have one that my friend gave me back in elementrary school which is missing it's spoiler.

$3 each for the non-Hotwheels. $5 each on the Hotwheels.
 
Hey Jason, South Texas states the HW Classics Madd Propz has one in blue and aqua blue. They are so hard to distinguish apart so I'm a bit skeptical as to whether or not whoever contributed that bit to the database may have goofed up. Do you have both colours on you to confirm this is fact?

That's only a handful of Fish'd & Chip'ds I have.

I can try. Are those all your Cobras? If so, I've seen one you don't have.
Yeah, I know, I have the white version. Any news about them Matchboxes I listed you the other day? :0
Only went to one store over the weekend, didn't check the Matchbox.
