Haven't seen that since I got the beige version when it came out.

Only Cool Classic I want. At least until the CRX is out.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Crx is the red and chrome one right?

I think you described the Hot Ones. Cool Classic I think is blue & it's not out yet.

@Gotbeefboy564 HERE

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Ya, haven't seen the blue one. Yet...

I was going to try shipping your cars out tomorrow morning, but I just realized that I can't ship international from the kiosk(I always mail before post office actually open in the morning). I will get them out by Wednesday at the latest!

No hurries.

 

[CodeRedR51]

No hurries.

I'd like to get your stuff out before I move. Next week sometime.

Has anyone been finding these in stores? Mainly Walmart.

I don't know why, but I've just been so obsessed with the C7 lately.

Also sorry to @R1600Turbo and @Cano, looks like that antique store somehow already sold the exact models you guys were looking for.

Every Walmart within 50 miles of me that I've been to doesn't have those All Stars cars now and they've never had them ever before.

Regardlees though, sweet find! 👍

I was a little concerned when they started removing the All Stars Elite Transport cars and left nothing but the low quality 1/64s. Quite excited to see the more detailed models back... Speaking of which, on the Maisto online catalog, they also have the 2015 Mustang listed as part of this series! No Lamborghini Huarcan as they did with their larger scale models.

Edit: Nevermind about the Huarcan, it will be coming to Maisto's rather poor quality 1/64s line up as well as the 2015 Mustang. Still going through the catalog.

If it wasn't for half the cars in that catalog being in Gran Turismo, I wouldn't be interested in them.

And half of those cars I would get regardless of being in GT or not.

Worries mother would find out I'm still ordering Hot Wheels online, finds out the mailman left the box at the door and never rung the bell. *success kid*

Something interesting about the Hall of Fame Ferrari 156. It uses skinny tires just like several Hall of Fames, but because the 156 is open-wheel, the difference in axle width is more pronounced. Also found the Laferrari today. Didn't buy it. Didn't see the Fiat either.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Fiat is G case.

 

[Johnny1996]

Any idea if that Fiat is an exclusive car to one particular store or is it just a regular release?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Got these today @a6m5 Whatta drag boulevard, and 56 Buick Century

Regular.

 

[Johnny1996]

Thanks for the answer @R1600Turbo. That's less pressure on missing out on a good car/cars while looking through the pegs at another store if [the car(s) in question] was/were an exclusive to a store you weren't at. 👍

 

[a6m5]

Who thinks @R1600Turbo is failing at the hot wheels avatar? Come on, Jason. You are supposed to maintain the line, not outdo us!

No hurries.

What a jerk.

I posted couple weeks ago I found them at Walmart, too.

Reminds me of certain posts from certain members, back when.....

I was admiring the LaFerrari I picked up for Ben, almsot made me want to pick one up for myself. Then, I remembered about all the mainlines I have to get rid of! It's a traaap!

What a coincidence. I was going to be looking for that Buick tomorrow(my day off). Wish me luck!

Found both at Meijer.

So that guy that misunderstood my auction listing and was upset about the "crease" in the card which I clearly described as a bend, says:

"I was ok with the bent top corner but it has a crease witch is no good. This is an opener now I do not save open cars.You can not see that in any of the pictures. I would like to have 6.00 returned to me."

And I said:

"I can't do that, sorry. The description in the auction states the condition of the cars clearly (a bend is a crease) and the "mint" status was referring to the car only, not the packaging which I listed the condition of each package. I even gave the potential buyer a break by offering free shipping, which I very rarely do. I'm sorry if you misunderstood the auction listing."

Am I out of line? Or is he? I fear it will end up with a negative feedback, which I will have to fight to remove.

This is why I wouldn't list something as "new" if it's reached a level of "damage". Most people are okay with bent corners but creases are still a no-no.

He's got a complex like me of not "joining" fads. I'd make an exception since it reps our hobby when we go and make posts outside this thread and that a buddy started it too.

We don't have them, but I'll check Walmart. Maybe Target, too. 👍

I'm sorry, but the guy is a dip:censored: Here's your description from the auction:

- '69 Camaro card is slightly bent on the right edge, is bent on the top left corner, and has a medium size ding in the bottom edge. (see photos)

If you can actually go back to the auction page, read that & still fail to comprehend, you are dip:censored:. If you are actually still whining about it, you may not be a man.

Had gt3man2001 said "see pic for condition of the item", I'd side with the whiny, but at least to me, if detailed description is provided like in this auction, it's your own fault(or your mom's) for not paying attention to what your are ordering.

This is why I wouldn't list something as "new" if it's reached a level of "damage". Most people are okay with bent corners but creases are still a no-no.

I listed my stuff "used", accompanied by description that "card/blister may not be perfect".

I'm not down. gt3man2001 needs to be with us.

@AOS- Andy, Andy!

I'm so relieved I don't have to make fun of your username + the non-conforming avatar, simultaneously!

What a scumbag that TTP guy is.
I asked him if he could hang onto my stuff. We agreed on a hold for a month long. During that time, he lists virtually nothing....

Finally he bugs me with an invoice I didn't ask for about a month later... and he resent the invoice a few hours later which I presume was him hinting he'd like me to pay now. So I did....And now he does this 50% deal..... I'm not even going to look. He wasn't even willing to negotiate how many JLs I'd have to buy for him to accept a price of $1 per car. I let him pick the number. I wasn't even offering that part. I put myself in the disadvantage to entice him to go through with such a deal. He still didn't. Forget him.

Well the guy decided to be an asshat and opened a case against me. I responded that the auction clearly states the condition of the items and photos are present. I finished it off by requesting he return the items to me for a full refund. No partials will be given. 🤬

 

[a6m5]

@R1600Turbo Well, I think we both expected it to come to this, considering what an idiot he's been from the beginning, then made it no secret he expected you to bail him out for him failing to read item description. I'd have fought it to the end, refund only if eBay forced me. Please, at least make him have to pay the return shipping.

@AOS- Surprised to hear that you already had a transaction going with him, but sucks to hear how it went south. I have one seller I could purchase almost weekly from. I have thought about asking him to hold my stuff for couple of weeks, but instead, I think I've made about four, five purchase of about eight cars at a time. I can't see this seller screwing me like the other seller screwed you, though.

Seller I'm talking about is boogytoo on TTP, and one time, I pulled Andy & asked him if he could just ship this car loose, if it would save on shipping. He sent me an invoice with $5 discount. I felt so bad, I paid the invoice & PayPal'd him $5 with apology note.

If anybody reading this would be interested in buying on TTP. Here are my very recommended sellers:

442is4me - Cool muscle cars

boogytoo - Expect to lose all your spending money, then some.

tlewis569 - Mainine oriented seller

kinkyrasta69 - Spendier than other sellers, but very cool & unique cars

Just the top-4, but I have nothing but nice things to say about their customer service & shipping policies(you guys know what a cheapskate I can be on shipping!). Great people.

If he returns them, he'll have to. Then I can turn around and flip them again for the same price. I bet he'll not accept that though and take it to the next level. A bend is a crease, a crease is a bend. Clearly states there is a bend in the left corner, which includes the WHOLE left corner. I'm confident I'm covered on this one, so we'll see.

I posted a pic of my post office couple of weeks ago(in the snow). I've noticed that the automated kiosk has been missing, along with the glass wall behind it. I figured they had to remove the glass wall to remove the kiosk for service or something, thought that was odd.....

I'm mailing Andy's hot wheels, along with another eBay sale so was checking their office hours when I discovered this. You guys can check out where I pick up all those hot wheel cars from the P.O. Boxes.
