Bought this today should I keep or use as a wheel donor?

I'd delete those tampos and create custom ice cream ones or something, and leave the orange top and fenders. Now that I've said it, I'll probably look for one and do exactly that.

Just secured myself a CM6 Dark Orange Speed Machines McLaren F1 GTR. From the same dude who I negotiated with to break apart his Speed Machines Lot.

Also, being the nice gu I am, I am happy to report my store now carries Jada Bigtime Muscles for $2.50 each ($2.85 with tax). We have shipments of wave 16:

If you would like me to grab anything for you, just hollar. Expect around $15 shipping unless you want a LOT.

Nice Mustang, but what do you mean by "my store"? Did you open a eBay store or something?

The dollar store here. I is an emporee.

Ah, gotcha. 👍 Hot Wheels need to make something like that Mustang. It's fun!

It's supposed to be like those push-trikes little kids play with.

Filed another non-payment with eBay today.

Anyway, picked up another Nissan Titan I needed. Guy had it listed for something like $8.32 shipped, buy it now or best offer. I offered $7 shipped and he counter offers with $8 shipped. Whatever, that truck sells for $10+ on it's own, so now I have it plus a VW Beetle I don't need.

I know that, and that's very cool!

I spent $6 on a loose blue 510 today(mainline, of course). More than I wanted to pay for a loose one, but I don't know if the price will ever come down.

I can top that: Lotus Concept Designer Challenge listed for $5.00, offered $3.50, counters with $4.95. "What's the 🤬 point then?" is all I kept thinking, then I started playing out that Russell-Peters-on-the-cheap-Chinese-guy skit in my head.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I would then re-counter with $5.01 just to piss him off.

Can you even place an offer with a value higher than the listed price?

 

[DwightSchrute12]

Just saw ZAMAC Daytona & Chevy SS. Maybe they are part of the E-Case?

Thanks man. I was kidding about the counterfeit sticker. I like Kudas. You should post that one for us sometime.

Silverado set me back $85. As high as that seems, I've seen it go cheaper just once during my hunt for this car. I negotiated around, and this was the best I could do without waiting much more.

Ha, I'll try and get a pic or two of the kuda up this weekend. It's perrrty.

Yeah, I think I remember you mentioning the Silverado price before now. I can't bite that bullet, but kudos. It's one fine looking truck.

Oops, meant $3.51.

I very rarely leave a negative feedback, but I left one today on TTP. Seller advertised 50% off everything, so I took up on the RLC Camaro I've been wanting. I've yet to find one below $20, and with this sale, it was hair over $18. I asked for invoice like 3 times(probably one email a day), and finally, I get a invoice with 25% off. Now I see what the problem is. I emailed again, nothing. Negative feedback, and thankfully, TTP has option to hide all listings by particular seller, so I blocked him & his listings.

I made a trip out to Walmart this evening. As usual, two Walmarts & one Toys R Us(all on same street):



Hot Wheels Boulevard Custom '56 Ford Truck + Mystery Models(Series 2) Old #3


I told yabi that if I saw that Boulevard Ford or Civic, I'd buy it, so I did. Old #3, I've been interested in for awhile. Very cool couple of cars.

Greenlight Zoolander '67 Ford Bronco


I wish I had found the fox body Mustang from the movie "Ghost", but this one's cool, too. Movie sucks, but truck's cool.

I couldn't resist:

Awesome. 👍

It was like a .50 cal bullet. Thanks though.

Off to a pretty slow start on that anti-collectorism movement, Shinji. Let's compare who has acquired more cars so far by the end of this month, shall we? For kicks of course.

2006 Stars of Cars (it has "DINKY" on the base and the card)

2006 Stars of Cars (it has "DINKY" on the base and the card)

2009 New Models. Finally.

Progress report on the index: I've just completed all of Nissan last night. Only got the rest to go. The goal is to complete it before the end of January.

Hey I have that ford! It was a peg warmer around here, maybe still is. I like the Old #3 too, I have an orange one somewhere. Not sure how recent/old it is. I think I have a red one too?

Greenlight Zoolander '67 Ford Bronco


I wish I had found the fox body Mustang from the movie "Ghost", but this one's cool, too. Movie sucks, but truck's cool.

Wow, a Zoolander GL car? That's kinda cool. Very unique, I doubt I ever see it but if so I'll pick it up.

I can barely remember the movie, except for Owen Wilson's line "So, the files are IN the computer?"

It was like a .50 cal bullet. Thanks though.

Hope you had some water to wash it down with

Don't do this to me. Andy=Voice of Reason Who'd have thought.

It wasn't quite a peg warmer around my area, but I know I've had couple of opportunity to pick it up. I just didn't. Weirdest thing is, yabiggoose just posted his earlier this week, and I commented that had I the opportunity, I'd pick it up. This Boulevard F-100 just popped up at Walmart & I can't even remember the last time I actually saw this thing. Must be a two year old customer return or something. It is quite nice. 👍

I like the Old #3 too, I have an orange one somewhere. Not sure how recent/old it is. I think I have a red one too?

Red one's are the one's I've seen online. I liked it, but didn't really want it unless I could steal it online. Last night, Walmart had nothing, so I ended up looking at the Mystery Cars, and this was the only car that interested me, and they actually had it in stock. I highly recommend this car for buck-o-seven. I don't know if you are familiar with these things, but it's #15 in the lineup. They stamp the number right on the bag, so check it out next time you are there. Now I've seen it in real life, I think I'll look into getting the red one sometime, too!

I don't remember much either. That GL Bronco is the best thing that happened to the movie.

I don't think water will cut it!

Alright, Saturday night pic show! (Sorry in advance for long post)

First off some bonus pics. Found these while going through my computer. Just some mainlines from recent years.

Some lamborghinis

Some Highway 35 cars. When I was younger I was always impressed with the detail on these. I also like blue lol

Some trucks (right is a matchbox gmc terradyne)

Now I'm not the pro photographer that most people here are, but I have finally found a cheap way to get some cleaner photos, so here's some HWC pics:

Okay okay the Ferrari is not a HWC car but it's just as good if not better than a lot of them lol

 

[a6m5]

Kuda is a beauty. 👍 That RLC/HWC Maverick's been on my radar. I'd like to get that one eventually. Nice cars!

 

[Spacegoat]

Excellent stuff Dwight. Particularly digging the HWC Duster. 👍

I couldn't resist:

I wish you did. (Resist, I mean)

 

[a6m5]

I like that Duster, too. Classic.

I wish you did. (Resist, I mean)

I'm getting the mileage out of that truck. There is a small risk of that one appearing again next week when I receive the Hot Ones + also open the Decades 80's Silverado.

 

[AOS-]

Can I play? (:

Only if you're serious about it.

Ferrari 156

I shake my fist at ye!

Interesting thing I found on after reading the back of this is that in the interior of the 380, there's a dog sitting in the backseat. It's actually true! It's very difficult to see it in the Final Run recolour due to the black-tinted windows.

 

[RCKakashi14]

I'm taking home another Bull. CM'S casting this time.

Moo.

I have one(it may be the lower-left one). Your Final Run's hella tight. 👍👍

 

[AOS-]

Thanks. I bought it with the intention of uncarding everything but the sentimental side of me that longs for historic preservation won over. If anyone wants to see pretty photos of this loose, talk me down.

 

[a6m5]

I already googled it. I may have to get one. 👍

13 stores today. Looked at so many RX-7's I'm sick of them now. Only found a Scorcher I didn't have and a couple variations that are not important. Lame sauce. Tomorrow I will post one of them so you guys can play a guessing game.
