The multipacks I found yesterday both contained the rollcage RX-7. I'm still baffled how you managed to find it in a singles, @
a6m5. I want to dismiss it and call it a multi-pack exclusive for my blog page, but now this is just bugging me to no end.
Hey, you my photographic evidence, and my bigfoot weren't blurry like the bigfoot picture taken by Gotbeefboy!
As far as I know these only come in short cards, which would strengthen my belief these were released in Europe only. he base of these two cards as well as the cards on the back has the Dinky logo branded on it. Unsure if that suggests they previously owned the casting. If anyone has more info, please speak up.
I am of the impression that, last time I liked Matchbox cars were right around when I started collecting hot wheel cars. Those cars in the pic look sharp! Entire time, I speculated that the couple of reasons why I don't care for Matchbox anymore were a) No longer impressed by their more accurate detailing since having been exposed to the likes of Kyosho, CM's, etc. b) Their selection of cars in the line up. Maybe it was because the Matchbox I liked were somebody else's casting.......... As I typed the last sentence, now I think it's probably more to do with the distribution practices(you mentioning Europe-Onry clicked in my head). It's probably due to particular channel these cars go thru, either in parts, or all of Europe. I really should think before I type!

I'm not gonna lie, these Lambos, they sometimes look all the same to me.
Don't get me wrong, all of them you post are awesome, and this one does make it very unique to me for its wonderful detailing job, beautiful paint job, and also the manufacture(who won't make cars anymore!). 👍
Edit: oh ho ho that moment when you're right on the tail of a seller who lists cars for low prices. I just snagged a HW Maserati for $2. I left the dark blue one. There's still a few lesser common GT40s for those interested:

One of my favorite GT40's from my collection!
Thanks, you should pick up the Maverick, it's still in the store! Grab it!
Damn, I know it dude. I'm waiting to steal it from someone on eBay or TTP though.
Bud, this is the hot wheels thread. I'm gonna go out on a limb & say that the Corvette is a larger scale?
Nice choice of car though. I've also liked those cars since I was a kid. 👍
Won't hear a peep out of me. I'm all for keeping stuff like that sealed.
I've gone 60% or so to the dark side(ie Cano-side) already. If it's something I plan on keeping, I often just open them. Very enjoyable to be able check them out with your hands, and without the packaging in the way. Only ones I still have troubles opening are the high value cars, like RLC(though I still open most of them lol), and cars I really like the cards they are on(example: Pop-Culture Flash Gordon Drag Bus). I now have 9 standard loose car cases(holds up to 48 cars, ea) + 3 fishing lure boxes I use to house the long/oversized cars.
Same.
Rather like the Kenworth and custom Corvette from that series too.
If that Kenworth had real riders, I might've been in trouble.
👍
