No big deal, it'll end up loose anyway.

 

[Cano]

@Cano I can add it to our ongoing trade. Still need your address to send to. [/USER]

Yeah but now I need to get you something else in exchange for these, as now the trade is fairly uneven. So list away or something

Got no cars to post, but I will post this:

The 4 large text have mouse-over effects and each make is a page jump.

I just went to the blog from the link in you signature, and checked out the "Tools of the Trade" section. First two comments, then a question:

Comments: Holy wheels!

Awesome blog so far from what I've seen. 👍​

Question: I have a roll of Scotch Blue Painters Tape I use for masking, but should I ever find that it doesn't work well enough, can I take a tip from you and use Scotch Drafting Tape?

 

[CodeRedR51]

You'll find that the blue stuff doesn't work well in small scale.

Investing in new tape. then.

To be honest, I just snapped a quick pic just so I had a photo to post for the tape. I don't primarily use that tape to mask my cars. I use Tamiya masking tape to do the edges along with cheap-o dollar store masking tape to cover everything else.

And yes there is a lot of wheels! That means there's a lot of bodies I have no use for. Would you be interested in helping me clear up a small box by taking it off my hands? PM me if you're interested.

As much as I could and would appreciate the help, I'm going to have to say no. I've got two spots in a toolbox loaded with cars and no free space included.

I do appreciate the offer.

Like we didn't know that.

Rubber works!

Fixed that for you, Shinji.

I shouldn't be used to people kicking me while I'm down, but I am.

Awesome King Kuda, Monaco Cop Car and Shelby Daytona by the way. 👍

Greenlight Daytonas are nice. I have the M2, but Greenlight versions look really refined.

Just received a package from Jason in the mail today. Pics to come at some point over the weekend.

That was fast!

Finally he's grown up. Oh time flies so fast! *cries away*

What?

Also found this old Tomica Pocket car Cadillac Seville there.

That thing is NICE.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Went to Wall Mart tonight no new basic cars but I did get these

Cool classics Mach 1


Cool Classics Shelby GT500
Was debating weather or not to get the CC Mercury Cougar but I got the Mach 1 instead.

Rotation looks correct. Unless I've been positioning my monitor on the wrong side this whole time.

I'm curious, has anyone actually found the Cool Classics Cobra Daytona at their local retailer?



BTW does anyone else want a hot wheels avatar?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I did a while ago there was at Toys R Us, there was one at Wall Mart when I got the mustangs.

My local Kmart is loaded with the Cobra Daytonas.

Hot Wheels avatar? Let me think about it, and whatever I decide, I'll let you know.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Here's my Daytona.
I have the Chrysler Turbine too

We the community in this thread and the customs thread should do what we once did in the anime thread: Hot Wheels avatars for every regular.

 

[AOS-]

Hey hey don't take credit for something you didn't make.

Also, no complaining either, Cano! That has to be laid down first.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Can only wonder what it's like to really get the master set.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Just saw that video.

Pfffft.....

How does this work? Selections?

 

[Johnny1996]

If I haven't told you guys already, I'm crazy. This Sunday, there's a train and toy sale at a fire hall that I'll be going to. I am sacrificing anything that falls under "toys" for anything that falls under "trains" unless a "toy" is something not to be passed up, so no Hot Wheels. Just a heads-up.

Yep, I said I was crazy. Besides, I was the one who used baseball caps as a storage solution.

 

[Spacegoat]

I shouldn't be used to people kicking me while I'm down, but I am.

Now, what kind of friends would we be if we didn't?

Edit: Have you seen this TLV 280Z? Want.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hit a few stores tonight, only came home with a 3-pack that had a Camaro wheel variation that someone on HWC was looking for. Told him I would get it for him. Slightly better news is that my local Walmart is in fact NOT going to get rid of their Matchbox section, but they did slim it down to only 4 pegs. Maybe they were switching UPC's or something.

So true, so sad.

Edit: Have you seen this TLV 280Z? Want.

It's nice, it's very realistic, but 260z I have on preorder's much cooler.

I was thinking about going too, but I couldn't find the time. I think I'll try next week though. Still want to look for some new M2s, also Homer & Falken Supra.

Maybe they were switching UPC's or something.

Well, there goes the conspiracy theories!

 

[CodeRedR51]

They are getting new M2's. Almost bought the Studebaker pickup but my conscience got the better of me.

 

[zakyta_4]

Hey guys, lots of great stuff getting posted, been a while since I logged in, usually get home quick browse then tea and bed. I'll be glad when we finish 10 hour days at work then I can spend some more time out looking for cars

Haven't found too much lately:
Grabbed this 10 pack at Big W last week

they'd also moved the shelves around at Big W and the 3 cars on the right were under there so I grabbed those. Bronco was from eBay, 2 Beetle errors from the same store during the week and 3 Matchbox from a quick store run last night

and lastly some M2's from today

 

[yabiggoose]

M2 from The Reject Shop?

 

[zakyta_4]

Yes mate, sure are:tup:

How does this work? Selections?

Go to Hotwheels.com, check out their cars section. They've got only stuff from 2012 to 2014. They cut off stuff earlier than that. Pick something from there you like - since that's all I have access to, and let me know. You get a cute and cool avatar like what I have now.

 

[a6m5]

@zakyta_4: Dang..... That's some neat stuff, from the top to the bottom. 👍 I hope I can find a Bronco for a reasonable price some day. It's another one of those cars that I sort of like it, but just not quite enough to pay the full retail.

You don't want them to become the next Johnny Lightning! Everybody needs to buy more M2 Machines!

I'm gonna have to look at that. Thank you!
