Yeah, I was more confused than a pig in front of a treadmill with the double post part.Andy!

That was pretty good. Sorry about that.Yeah, I was more confused than a pig in front of a treadmill with the double post part.
I don't know if it's the new forum or my computer, but I click the Reply button and the little loading bar comes up in the corner, and loads, and loads, and loads, and then does nothing. If I click it again, it posts twice.Andy!

I found two the other one I opened didn't have a mark on it.

Andy!
Don't do that.Use photobucket.
I'm disappointed, but if you were using Ryu, I may be down.Crap I got here too late. I was out kicking people's butts on Street Fighter.
I'm not playing this game. I think I bought about three cars.47 cars. 44 if we exclude the cars I modded or will mod. I'm legitimately surprised. If I was going to attempt 300 cars per year again, I've already done 1/6th of that in 1 out of the 12 months I have left to get through!

Well, they only come in multipacks so far, so not like I have a choice. I trust the guy, and only I need to care if it's real, don't really care what anyone else thinks. It's my collection, not theirs.Shame it's loose, but who's going to hold onto a ginormous multi-pack to prove legitimacy of a variation anyway?
Good stuff.
That is true, but let's not forget it does affect value in the end. It will matter in the event you choose to put a price tag on that one item, like it or not. To illustrate what I'm saying, the earlier variations of hot wheels could've been forged pretty easily. The "No Chrome Bar" MR-2 or "No side tampo" Miata could've easily been a regular with said tampo deleted. That would explain why the value (on STD) plummets tremendously when it goes loose. That's all I'm getting at.
Starting to think the only person that worries about that is you.![]()
Who is that? M. Bison?I use Ryu's flippin' master.
Your figure of 47(now 49?) got me thinking if I actually averaged more than 1 hot wheel per day. Let's see how I did:And boo for not playing.I forgot there's 2 more. I took pics but haven't put them on the computer yet.
I was at Walmart today, so I looked at couple of 3-packs for you, but it was no-go.In the process of doing a trade for one of these bad boys:
I still prefer the Vintage Racing version.... of course, money's noice.Well, my Vintage racing 510 is worth what? Half of that? So there......................
Curse you.![]()
Give or take.Yeah right, more like three at a time.![]()
I never considered loose cars before getting into real riders cars & other premium line cars. Loose cars are cheaper, and since some cars can be pretty spendy, I now sometime prefer the cheaper loose cars over carded ones. 👍Alright, so I had a trip to Walmart this weekend coming up had it not been for the start of the second semester of the school year being moved to Monday because of snow days. Therefore, a trip that would have killed two robins with one boulder (school supplies and cars both at Walmart), now will be reduced to a trip that will only be for school supplies.
Looking ahead, however, its a blessing in disguise (not a very good disguise) with the upcoming Hot Wheels Collector Event at Kmart and my quest for the 20-for-1 Chevelle.
And since you guys are talking about loose cars and their lower value, I'm going to throw something in that doesn't have to be payed attention to, but my loose cars are usually bought that way, and if the value is lower than carded, so be it. If it wasn't a good addition to my collection, I wouldn't have bought it.![]()
I thought I'd surprise my nephew with a opening body hot wheel, but after learning that it doesn't even open, I think I'll just keep it. Plastic body stinks.Fun fact about the Volkswagen Drag Bus: The normal version with opening metal body is too heavy to be put on a basic card, so the only way the casting would make it back in the mainline is to give it a plastic base and plastic non-opening body. I forget where I found that fact though.
@a6m5: Nice finds!
Then go to Kit Kringle and get them.I'll take one of each TH, thanks Sony.![]()

I am glad I got it at regular price too.I'm not gonna lie, I am jealous @Sonygamer455 for the regular priced WRX Treasure Hunt. I still refuse to pay premium for it, so I still don't have it.![]()
Jealous of that Drag Bus, never seen one in the wild ether.My visit to couple of stores today was not a total loss as I found three cars I've been after(but all pretty much mainlines).
Hot Wheels ZAMAC Chevrolet SS, '69 Dodge Charger Daytona(both Walmart Exclusive) + Color Shifter VW Drag Bus
This Drag Bus is the first Drag Bus I've ever seen in the wild. Crazy.
Well... it was kind of exciting until learning of its plastic, fixed, non-opening body.Jealous of that Drag Bus, never seen one in the wild ether.![]()
