Hot Wheels photos for today:

Gasp. You got the Zamac 599XX. That's a good one. Was it hard for you to find?

I'm making this one post on mobile, and afterward I'm going to log out and do some customs work. Later tonight, I'm going to go to PC and post. Expect a big post, though. See you back at what will be about 8:30 pm for me.

But for now, here's two pictures of one of my Red Barons :

Last nights finds

The Fiat 500's are great little cars

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Still have yet to find any. Same with the red 8c.

Not at all. When I heard that it was available in the pegs, I grabbed it immediately.

Still have yet to find any. Same with the red 8c.

Got the Alfa, still haven't seen a single Fiat. Starting to get annoyed.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Haven't seen any g case cars since race grooves did the case unboxing.

 

[Johnny1996]

I'm trying to upload my pictures to TinyPic, but the site isn't cooperating, yet its been fine until this month. 🤬

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Make a photobucket account, that's what I use.

 

[Johnny1996]

Go figure. The one car causing problems is on of the ones that has a big potential for collecting and customizing.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Kinda wish they made the 500 with black rims instead of the chrome ones.

 

[Johnny1996]

I do too, although whatever wheels that 500 has, its been a 🤬 to me in terms of being able to find it.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

The black 8c would've looked great in black rims too.

Except it's not, Andy. I think that's the one of the factory autographed one I predicted would be worth more than the double autograph me, Cano & now Ben have. Ours have two autos, but it was made available by BRE, and one of those '46' one was released Mattel themselves.

I still have mine listed at $510, mainly just to drive traffic to rest of my hot wheel auctions on eBay. I don't think mine's worth $510 & that guys' $760 or whatever.

 

[Johnny1996]

Here you guys go, all of my recent cars!

Buick Riviera FTE/PR5 variation, Race Team Series IV Cobra, and silver '69 Firebird Trans Am.

Tomica Tyrrell P34, but not the new one. .

Matchbox Buick LaSabre Stock Car.

Malibu Jaguar E-Type.

Hot Wheels No Fear Racecar, AKA Hot Wheels 500.

Hot Wheels white '69 Firebird T/A, currently being customized to the specs of the Firebird my mom used to have back in the day.

MG Rover AKA Morris Wagon that had to be uncarded due to blister damage that went unnoticed until after getting back home. Better picture coming later.

Matchbox Pit King. Picked up for customizing.

Subaru Impreza WRX STi, for hooning customizing.

Hot Wheels Ford Mustang, for customizing.

Porsche 993 GT2, for customizing.

Toyota AE86 Corolla. I don't think I need to explain what the ring is for.

Boulevard Series Civic. Bought as a donor car, but will be customized.

Maximum Leeway T-Hunt and Cougar. The T-Hunt's card damage didn't stop me from getting it, as you can see. The Cougar would later be opened, both from its card and from its rivets.

MB Toyota 4Runner, Aston Martin DBS Volante, and '50s Buick Riviera Police Car.

EDIT: Two more pictures coming.

 

[Spacegoat]

Ooh, that P34. And nice to see you found yourself a MB 4Runner too. Excellent stuff. 👍

 

[velly]

there was a load of 500's in the shop (well, another 2 after i got mine)

 

[Johnny1996]

Thank you, @Spacegoat, and for the rest of you all:

Morris Wagon, in the nude.

And some 2014 HW basics. See the bottom of the post for the list of cars.

• Camaro Police car
• Ford Mustang (not the loose one above)
• '64 Lincoln Continental
• Toyota Celica
• The tumbler - camo version
• Chevelle SS Wagon
• Custom '64 Galaxie
• Scion FR-S

[a6m5]

That Jaguar E-Type. I think I have the Tomica, too. One of those childhood cars I happened to see on TTP, I think[/talkingdinosaur].

 

[Johnny1996]

For those that are wondering, I most times never improve my lighting, but the Morris picture got improved lighting from my cell phone light.

I'm planning to build two photo studios, if you will, in which one will be used for loose cars, the other for carded, but both will have improved lighting. I'm working with what I have currently.

Heavy castings rule. 👍

Yep. 👍 I really love the heavy castings with metal bases that roll really well, Seasider being one of them.

Speaking of heavy castings, that reminds me of a time once when I bought the Rat Rods series Shoe Box and then found out it had a plastic base. I was moderately disappointed because I always preferred it with a metal base and that one right there was a perfect candidate for one in my opinion. However at the end of the day I still don't regret getting it and I would have gotten it ether way.

That's what paint is for!

Not at all. When I heard that it was available in the pegs, I grabbed it immediately.

You are a lucky poophead. Wish I got into collecting sooner.

 

[Cano]

Ugh, the freaking green Morris has avoided me for a while now.

 

[Johnny1996]

Ugh, the freaking green Morris has avoided me for a while now.

I'm surprised you don't have yet. I thought for sure you would have. Best of luck trying to find it. 👍

 

[Sonygamer455]

That Morris would look good some torg thrusts. 👍

 

[AOS-]

Get the NHRA Morris Wagon, swap bodies with the green mainline. Success.

 

[Sonygamer455]

That works. 👍

Looks like it's chrome.
