That reminds me. Jason mentioned Walmart ditching Matchbox cars? They had Maisto All Star cars today. Never seen them at Walmart before. They look crappy. Oops. I'm sure Kakashi's nice though.

:P
 
I went to K-Mart this morning. Everyone who showed up got to go thru a brand new box. 👍 There were plenty of the four K-Mart exclusive cars(blue Datsun 620, white M3, brown Sandblaster, purple Falcon XB), but on the downside, just one Homer(sorry Ben) & no Falken Supra(sorry me & Ben) & no Treasure Hunts.

















I know what you are thinking. You see those blue Datsuns & are thinking "that a6m5, what an 🤬" At the event I was at, either the demand was low, or they oversupplied this little truck. This could either work out in favor of @Gotbeefboy564 or against him. Maybe his K-Mart will have plenty. Maybe they wont' have any, because they all came to Oregon. :lol: There were so many of them still left behind!

@commodoreben - These I got for you: 2 of Chevelles, 2000GT, Falcon XB, BMW M3. 1 of LaFerrari, Sandblaster & Scion FR-S. Viper's from the other day, I'll get you another one. Let me know how many of those cars you actually want & also how many blue Datsuns. Again, sorry I let you down on the Homer. :crazy:

Ill take all of those cars you got for me and 2 of the Datsuns. Don't worry about the Homer Im sure it will show up somewhere. Let me know how much I owe so far.
 
In my opinion, this one has better looks than the HW casting:

Of course, the wheels are horrible...




On to another topic, the Tomica Lotus Exige RG-T is out in Japan, so it'll arrive at my place in a month or two.






I'll definitely get one. :P

She's Tokyo Drifting at 1:41........ Worst. Review. Ever. :crazy:

As for the Maisto Corvette, I like the Hot Wheels better, though I've yet to see the photo detailed like the one @RCKakashi14 took. Maitso in the pic has obvious advantage in the little stuff painted neatly & also the side mirrors, and it very well could be the lighting, but the body paint looks cheap, and it just looks awkward in execution.

My impression of the Maisto vs Hot Wheels is that Hot Wheels, they just did what they could for a dollar car, where Maisto bit off more than it can chew.

We'll let you know, Ben. You may remember, but I also have the "76" Dodge A100 van(HW Garage) & M2 MoonPie Ford utility truck, too!

I kinda have to disagree. I don't see anything better about this over the hot wheels car, this looks very sloppy to me.

Add the A100 and Moonpie truck in aswell please.
 
Just picked this up, of all things they do a crop sowing machine :lol: It's pretty cool that they do something you would least expect.

Why did Matchbox stop making normal cars like they used to?

It's probably because Hot Wheels want's to make a clear distinction between itself and the MB brand. It will likely end up with all cars being HW's and all 'machinery' being MB.

Personally I like MB doing quirky stuff, not pure fantasy ones but interesting real world vehicles that aren't road cars. They have loads of great construction, off road, utility castings.
