Thought you guys might like this.

Damn, Cano. Great post! Love the Baja Bugs and the cars with real riders. And the Z with the open hood. You already know I love those 90's cars. Very awesome.


And wow that city with the cars is definitely something I would've loved to have seen as a kid. Nice touch with the trains, too.

 

[sar593]

All kinds of vehicles there Cano, great.
And the metropolis video was amazing. When the cars stoped it felt as if a real city stoped working, a nice moment of silence.

2010 Dirt Track Race 5-Pk is the only one I've ever seen IRL, but I didn't want to spend 9$ just for that one car.

but I DO want this one, ever so badly:

I WANT IT ALSO! World Rally Bule all the way!! But I don't buy the 5-pack that much, only if they got cars that I really like/want for my collection.
And I agree with you on spending $5-$9 dollars on a 5 car pack for only one or two good cars that you may regret either getting and get rid of the other, then later you find the same car WITH the same color/decals in the single car pack, or not getting the pack and later not finding it. Is one of those win-lose situations.

I have a lot of cars that will make anyone , I truly miss the old ones I used to have and seeing everyone pictures with some of the cars I remember having really does bring great memories back! Thanks guys. 👍

I would love to post pictures of all of my scales, but I don't know how to put them on here yet. Did anybody use flickr or photobucket to post theirs here? Thanks.

yeah, put them in Photobucket and be done with it.

I forgot to show you all people this, that also arrived from :e-bay, but on it’s own.

It’s by CM’s in Japan, and very well achieved. Detailes like the opened eyes…

Very accurate Campagnolos on rubber tires…

And opening bonnet really make it cool.

Engine could have been better, but for $6 shipped from Hong Kong directly at my doorstep, you can’t possibly go wrong. Got it for cheap, as normally these things are in excess of $15.

 

[uMadson?]

Nice Lambo.

I'll be going really, really early to the mall on Saturday, like 7:30 AM or something. I'll be cheering for my classmates in their basketball tournament held there. I'm also planning to grab a few cars off the toy store in that mall, gonna post pics of them once I got them.

Please hope that my 'mates will win too

 

[diabolicwyvern]

I hate that the firewall at works blocks pics on this site. Although I should probably be working...I'll have to hac a look when I'm home this evening. I wonder if we ever bid on the same lots Cano. I'm buying 5-10 a week presently mostly 3-5 car lots, but singles if I'm missing them.

 

[a6m5]

I wish it had different paint job, but only word I would use to describe that Miura would be "sweet". Six bucks. 👍

The first time I saw a Yur So Fast (or Yur Too Fast, whatever its called), it was only in the 15-pack sets, but I didn't know it was called that at the time.. I sort of wanted to buy the overpriced thing just to get that one car that reminded me so much of a Stirling Moss... but luckily for me, 2 weeks later I find a Yur Too Fast singles in a Toys R Us... Now I find the singles ALL the time...I now have the yellow/black, white/green, AND the green/black...

Be sure to tell me what you think when you see them, becasue these lots came with some very good cars. They are all from a few months ago, and I usually try to buy lots of 20+ cars, if I buy smaller lots they need to be good cars, and they usually run higher in price. But I'd bet we've bid on the same lot at least once.

Birthday Boy gift. What did I tell you, Forstyboys?

Sorry it's blurry, the camera wouldn't work properly.

Will do. I'm on vacation this weekend, but the resort/lodge has free wi-fi. I'll have a lot of time then.

What's a Yur So Fast? Is it part of Hot Wheels or is it another model manufacturer that copies the HW shells for their cars? Because the Impreza that you posted has the look of the HW Impreza.

And are you in the US aswell? Because some of the cars posted here and their companies I have never heard before, and I have been to Toys R Us and the malls and never seen these scale model companies before. Thanks!

And thanks for the info for the photos situation Cano! And nice Lambo! 👍

 

[AOS-]

Yur So Fast is this.....

I just learned of Hot Wheels Wikia... Instantly bookmarked.

 

[atomicnmd]

I am Going to Post my 200 + Collection Soon , And I have some Old HotWhells and Matchbox'es could anybody give me info on those ?

Well you would need to post the pictures first.

And you will get info.

From Cano or diabolicwyvern, I'm not smart enough.

 

[atomicnmd]

There from the 80s and 70s

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

There from the 80s and 70s

Let's see them!

 

[Cano]

yeah, post them. I'll provide what I may know about them. Wyvern will talk when he sees them, too.

Are we both the most die-cast savvy members here? O_o

And about the Yur-so-fast or whatever it is called, I surprised myself when I picked it up. I didn't pay attention to it when I saw it portrayed in the poster, but having it my hands I can agree that it is a very interesting design. One of the few original HW designs that have managed to grab my eye in the last couple years.

His user title says "Banned" and he did have an avatar before, so...

Well, here's the stuff from eBay. Lovely 90's cars and some early 2000 cars. They're also my two favorite types of cars, classics and Europeans. Came out to a buck each. Enjoy!

I'll start with the blue cards. Unfortunate condition of the Corvette's card, but oh well.

Two Final Run cars and some variations from different years.

The Mercs!

Bimmers, Jags, a Lotus, and a Peugeot.

The customs are almost done. One needs some glue and some details, and the other needs some wheels. Will post them asap.

He got banned for being underage, so we won't be seing any images from him I'm afraid.



I need a BMW M1 and a BMW 8 series. They're the two BMW cars that I still want in small scale die cast form.

Damn, I really wanted to see what he had.

As for the BMW's, I hear you. The HW 850i is one of my favorite castings. And the hatch on the M1 opens!

 

[uMadson?]

I'm loving the Mercs and BMW's there.

+1.

You need an M1? I think I have doubles of both 473 cards. Do you care if its the BMW M1 version or could it be the 'Street beast' error?

The M1 is a decent casting, but the name I associate with the car will always be Wind splitter. (bottom row/middle car here)

 

[deadcell96]

I started building a collection of Hotwheels and this is how it is so far.

Honda S2000

Datsun 510

Acura NSX

Ferrari F333 SP

Dodge Challenger

Ford GT

Do you know why Mattel had three different names for this car? Or any other car with multiple names? I'm guessing for more appeal towards kids?

Great starting cars!

The '70 Charger is one of my favorite castings of the year and I usually don't like muscle cars, so that's saying a lot. If it had a black interior I think it would be perfect.
