That black Maisto Porsche I got(and you made fun of!) was like that. Blister came right off by itself. I gave the TTP seller a true neutral feedback. No feedback at all. I always considered giving the actual neutral feedback a semi-negative feedback.
 
I'm not dissatisfied enough to leave a mark on someone's rep-their feedback rating. A negative feedback does more damage to them than it does to you most of the time. People have a bad tendency to exaggerate their littlest troubles.

And of course, I'm willing to forgive people who admit to their wrong-doings as I've noticed throughout the course of time not allowing someone who genuinely wants to redeem themselves does not promote positive growth as a person.

I've sent the guy a long message hoping the last statement will soak into him immediately. I hope I created the impression I'm not pleased, but I'm not a looney who's overly-peed about the smallest problems. I asked for a partial refund in the end. I did not threaten him with a bad rating, and I did not demand a large reimbursement since the Zamac Elise is worth some money after all. Let's hope it goes smooth, or I may have to do something.

I was just saying that, leaving neutral feedback is like giving someone a somewhat negative feedback. By not giving someone a feedback, I consider that the truly neutral feedback. I do think contacting the seller was a good idea. 👍
 
Neutral feedbacks come off as wishy-washy to me as well. I definitely agree not giving feedback is more "neutral" than such. I just don't like it when my buyers don't leave feedback. What scums!

Here's the Decades 80's Silverado I wanted to show Jarrod.

Now that's sweet. I like the colour scheme and the Chev tampo on the tail gate is a nice touch. Thanks for the posting pics. 👍

Yes, I totally agree that TLV needs to recreate that baby blue hatch, maybe with a roof rack.

Yes, yes to that. :drool:👍
My JDM side is always exposed!

:lol:

That Silverado - Good: Not very spendy on eBay. Not Great: Plastic base.

Like you, I love the paint job & "Chevrolet" on the back!(wheel swap candidate for sure).
 
Almost forgot to share this find at work:

No I didn't grab it. I almost hope I don't spot many more errors anymore. I've got virtually no more protecto paks available!
 
I was really hoping that R34 would have real riders next time I saw it. I'm so bored of that one with same ole' plastic wheels. :crazy:
It's a mainline, what do you expect? :lol: All your fancy $15 cars are spoiling you. :P

Here's my story for the week: Item said "new condition", "brand new sealed", "bent card". Never mind the bend, does this look sealed and new to you? :rolleyes:
To be fair to the seller on that one, I have purchased older cars at the Friday meets before that only needed a small tug to release the blister. Some of the glue they used on them must not have been that great and lost most of it's sealing power. Packaging doesn't need to be crushed for it to do that, just sudden movement and the weight of the car could knock it loose.
 
With the Index done, I'm redoing the Series page. Rather than a whole page of images, it's going to look more concise and there will be less scrolling and more linking for increased accessibility within all pages.

The thumbnails have been decreased in size. You can still click on them for full-res. I've linked each text name to the casting page itself for quicker and smoother browsing.
 
Alright, so I want to get this Chevelle, but I can't find the order form anywhere. I emailed HWC asking where to find the order form, but their reply showed that HWC is run by rude, inconsiderate, and from hearing the deal with the RLC 510s, disorganized, narcissistic 🤬. Not only did they blatantly insult my intelligence by providing a link to an article that I clearly said I already read, they also kind of indirectly said "don't talk to us anymore" by providing the customer service number. On top of that, they never even addressed my original question: "Where can I find the order form?"

So now, unless I find the order form somewhere, I won't be getting any collector edition cars anytime soon. But someone please me answer this: There are two memberships, HWC and RLC. Do you only have access to the order form if you are one of those two memberships, and is the HWC membership free?

EDIT: @R1600Turbo: I didn't even know those wheels existed until I saw that car, so I can't help. :(

EDIT 2: Is that C7 from T-Hunted a ZAMAC car or recolor, @R1600Turbo?

EDIT 3: Those Silverados are amazing, @a6m5. :drool:

Andy, come on man.

I'm not expecting anything, but I for one am tired of mainline recolor of this casting. I think it should've been a Boulevard release, and now that's not possible, maybe as Brian's R34 GT-R(F&F/Retro Entertainment)? And they should ship the case with 80% this Skyline, because scalpers will clean them up in a flash.
Nice. 👍 There's a car I should have picked up, but opted not to. :crazy:
ZAMAC looks OK, Mini's on the money.
This looks cool.

What is that? It looks ugly, but does it come with the free rubber band? :P
Anyone know of any other Hot Wheels cars have these exact wheels on them? (in chrome)
I like what you did with them in the other thread. That was A+. 👍

I personally never sensed any attitude from their customer service. :confused: HWC membership is free. RLC I think set me back $35 or so for the year(you get free car + chance for more).

This form, I don't see it either, bud. I'll try again in a bit, make sure I'm logged in as HWC/RLC member. ;)

Thank you! I'm looking for just one more. That Racing Series 4x4 Silverado. :drool:

The link to the article I already read set me off. I took it as an insult to my intelligence, which will get anyone on my bad side.

New tab opened. Shouldn't require much thinking to figure out what I'm up to in that new tab. ;)

Welcome. Maybe try this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HOT-WHEELS-...17634?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item35d0e7c802
;)
Tried to find it at the lowest Buy It Now price.

It was bit lazy, I guess. I read in their forum & the impression I got is that form isn't available yet. It seem to come available around same time the event take place.

I have. I'm always looking. ;)
They really nailed this one. Must have for me. :drool:
We'll be purchasing two. :D

So basically, check the article for the Chevelle often to see if there's a link or some other way to get to the form. If there is, then fill it out, print it, and mail it along with the cards. That's what I'm picking up from that.

As for the loose cars from the 20 basic cars, either keep, customize/detail, or sell, I guess. And if I get the Chevelle, it'll be an immediate pact to get the other three. One from TRU, two from Kmart, of course. :)

Exactly. Did you join HWC? If you already have, you can search "K-Mart form" or something like that in their forum to see the same posts I've come across. Bunch of people asking about this "form" from other K-Mart collector events & other members telling them how those forms should be available right around when the event takes place.

What did you mean about these three other cars? I assume all mail-in cars?(60 more mainline purchases? :crazy:).

Not yet a member. The other three cars, I'm talking about the 20-for-1 promo cars. Yes, all mail-in cars. These cars here.

As for the mainlines, I'll deal with those once the time arises to do so.
 
Don't do it, Johnny. They are garbage. May even have scratches.
No, I'll still do it. I am severely lacking in premium cars compared to basic cars. I want more premiums.

And somehow, your post doesn't have "May even have scratches" as I type this, but the quoted post does. :confused:

It's fixed.
 
yes authentic Italian Hot wheels :D
souvenir from my honeymoon

thats why my last post was nearly 8 mouths ago
so I'm totally feed bankruptcy :)
but I will try to keep an eye on it from now on :gtpflag:
I was a bit puzzled when your named showed up in my alerts. I recently was wondering where you have been, now I know. :lol:

Definitely a cool F40. 👍
