I'm back, but not for any more amount of time. Weather caused me to miss the collector event, but I went to Kmart today to get the leftovers. Pictures will not be posted as of yet.

There's a toy and train show coming up this Sunday (same day as Daytona 500), but I'm going only for model railroad products.
 
Why did Matchbox stop making normal cars like they used to?
They are jerks.
Old collection pics are old. I don't even live there anymore.

Which brand is the Mercedes? Amazing cars, by the way. 👍
@AOS- Dat Ferrari Racer 246
Want that, too.
Silverado's a hit & miss for me. This one is definitely a miss. :crazy: Thanks for the heads up though! 👍

Dammit, Johnny. Where are your priorities!

:P
 
^ Did a quick search on eBay and saw there was a 2014 Retro Entertainment 246 GT coming out very soon.

Unfortunately, there's nothing on previous releases other than the Garage series. Make me not want to wheelswap the Ferrari Racer I got recently.

Last time I looked, I couldn't even find one Dino from the Racer series. I just looked again, nothing. I have seen the Retro Entertainment one(whatever Hart to Hart was), and while I like it better than the Garage series one(still nice), not enough to pay $4.50 + shipping for it. I however did like the Dodge Power Wagon & Van from the Retro Entertainment enough to pay shipping. I should have it tomorrow. :P :embarrassed:
 
SELL ME THAT TOYOTA!!!!

P.S. HATE YOU! That never happens to me buying milk!
I was going to put them on eBay to fund my car project, but I might give you a chance. :P

And if another collector dude hadn't shown up while I was going through 5, yes FIVE four sided shippers, I would have found a couple more. (the red '13 Camaro)

No man, list it on eBay. Priorities. Link it too, so we can get it started. :D

Do we have jaw-dropping smily? Who why order five of those things? Crazy.....
 
No idea, surprised the hell out of me. I walked literally right past them, looked in the toy isle, glanced at the huge endcap display they had, then was on my way to the checkout with a single car in my hand (brown Toyota truck) and saw them. They looked fairly old (obvious since those Supers are from last year) but I started going through them anyway for errors and variations. When I stumbled upon the Toyota truck, I knew I might be the first one there. I was going through the second shipper when that other guy showed up and immediately found one of the Camaro's. :(
 
Sell me that Jaguar. I'll get you some milk even. :)
I don't think that's how it works.........

We'll trade that Jag one day. When we at least have a handful of cars we want to swap!
If I list it on eBay it's going up in a package deal with the Camaro and a Mars Rover I got too.
Real car comes before toy cars. I hope you get the most money out of those cars. 👍
 
Would be nice if you had inform me of this sooner. How will we ever know of this day though? Are you building up on a trade inventory?
I didn't really think about it until you just mentioned the car AGAIN! :lol:

I don't really have cars for specifically for trading. Last time I tried getting into trading, I just got stuck with bunch of cars I don't want + I've been trying to cut down the size of my collection.
 
It's only taken me about 2 months to find this one. I ended up missing out of KDay so i'll probably see if my local one has any leftovers for me. But for now here is my new C7 Stingray.

If anyone has a Kroger store (or affiliate) nearby, check them as one of those shippers from last night was fairly new stuff (Mix C) and had Mars Rovers, red Kombi's, C7 Vettes, Batpods, Herbie's, etc in it.
