Where the hell do you live to have a Kmart? I thought they were all in the States!
:lol:

I got two cars on the way home tonight. It's even better than Super Treasure Hunt, because these things are worth moar!

Auto World '71 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Chase in UltraRed


This thing is a beauty. Unfortunately, my bright light bulb went out, so I can't take a nice picture right now.

I also finally picked up the blue Gasser Chevy. Took me long enough!


'cuz once they go black..... :rolleyes:
I've never been with a black girl, so I wouldn't know......
Here are my Cool Classics. No Mustangs yet. :grumpy:
You'll find them. They are all over the place. :crazy:
Nitro Doorslammer
I don't know about $18, but that thing is tight. 👍
Everything I heard about you Aussies were true! I'm so disappointed! j/k

I do like it, too. :lol:
 
Well to Wal Mart today and picked up these.

Heard ya'll talk about the Fiat 500 a bit here so I went ahead got it while it was available since I felt like I would regret it if didn't.

Just had to get that Tumbler because it was so cool and it was the only one left.

A bit bummed I didn't get much time to look at the Hot Wheels today. Didn't see any Honda Civics on the pegs.
 
I had a misadventure with The Tumbler. The day I got it, I was out trainspotting and trying to kill some time while waiting for a unit to pass, and I ended up spilling a drop or two or Hawaiian Punch orange drink on the back of the card. Now I'm concerned about losing some money. :nervous:
 
Toys R Us I hit today had tons of Fiat. Some Tumbler, too. I haven't seen Civics in a long while. I have just one with good tampo job(they are all :censored:ed), so I'd love to pick up one more.....

Edit:

If you guys like Hot Pursuit police cars by Greenlight, my Toys R Us were clearing out their ten car set for $35. They generally go for six bucks a pop, so if you are looking to get some of those, it's a great deal.

Be my guest. :P

Maybe its the value for one of the EFs on Hall's Guide ($4), maybe its my age, maybe its the customizer in me, maybe its the collector....

I'm just going to stop here so this doesn't become a monster list. ;)
 
I forgot all about that. :lol: I know they made that teal multi-pack one, but I hope the next recolor is white(don't go there j-money! lol).
 
I still can't believe that I got so many EFs that day. Two of them are in my toolbox. Who knows how many are in the stores and on the pegs. :boggled:
 
Damn you, Hot Wheels Fiat 500, damn you. Do you hear me? Damn you. :grumpy:

Tonight's finds
View attachment 136844
I got the Galaxie for customizing, the gasser because I love the livery, and the Fiat, since everyone is in love with this casting right now. :D
I swear, of all the 2014 $THs this year, I'm not sure where the Gasser is. I'm dying to get my hands on it. I'm starting to hate the Fiat.
 
@a6m5, wow didn't know they had the Top Gear license. Do they sell those in retail stores? Looked it up online and only found...more American cars. I suppose it says "Original Format" as in pre-Clarkson/Hammond/May.

Also...you have me wanting more Greenlights now! Want to go to TRU as soon as I get my paycheck or tax return and buy myself the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 300C model. Just because I work around Chrysler products, I want models of them now. :lol: And no, it doesn't mean I've become a fan of them. :P
 
Saw a Cool Classics '52 Hudson, but passed on it due to the unfitting spectrafrost lime. I also learned that the release of the Cool Classics Camaro also contained the '87 Toyota Truck. 2 Walmarts did not have a single one. What the hell, scalpers..

On a side note, I've been collecting limited amounts of batmobiles and giving them to my sis. Got her the '89 and Camo Tumbler so far. The original tumbler and bat-pod are eventually going to arrive.

No international shipping; no help!

*Maelstrom

When I was out and about looking for a next fantasy casting to collect, the Maelstrom was one candidate. I had also thought about the Shredster, Vulture, and some other one, but ended up staying with the Monoposto.

Good decision. That one's cool.

No, they have plenty of stores down here. They even sponsored a V8 Supercar team from the early to mid 2000's.
(don't go there j-money! lol).

Quiet you. :lol:

Hopefully you'll be able to find one of these with good tampo's.

I don't know if anybody care, but detail pics of Auto World Chase Mach I.


eBay Purchase(me copying couple of Aussies Jarrod & Ben)


M2 Wild Cards 1970 Ford Mustang BOSS 429


Nobody wanted this thing for ten bucks on eBay(Yes Andy, they are depreciating :crazy: ), I opened one.

Hot Wheels Racing Road Racers '78 Porsche 935/78

I swear, of all the 2014 $THs this year, I'm not sure where the Gasser is.
Gasser is...... SO DESIRABLE.

Dodge Dart...... will still be there. :lol: Today was the first time I've seen the packaging with Top Gear, and it was Toys R Us. I already sold it.

Look up VWDAN on TTP. 👍
 
@a6m5 - teal civic is J case release.
@AOS- I can get you a Toyota on Monday. Wally near my work has a couple been sitting there for weeks.

-----------------------------

Found an h case bin tonight. Grabbed a USS Vengeance, blue R34 and a Mini. Found 3-4 of the reg THs while digging, left them. At the same store grabbed a 3-pack with a black Falcon Racecar that had chrome 10sp instead of white. Then at a Target found a Fiat 500 (damnit!) after buying one on eBay since my local store sold out.

No pics. Sorry. (Fer now)
 
@mustang fanatic Great job man. 👍
----------------
This afternoon, I finally ordered this one Tomica Limited Vintage Neo(longest brand name, ever) I've been wanting..... maybe since when I first started collecting. Cheapest I could find was $100 on eBay, but when I got serious about it, I did a google search & I found a store just like AmiAmi, except this store still had some older, rarer cars in stock. For more money. $77, shipped.

I've been burned on this stuff before. I backordered one from this one store, they led me on for couple of months before going "sorry, it's discontinued'. If the deal pans out, I'll let you guys know of the store.

Wish. Me. Luck.
I need that NOW! :drool:

What series and from how long ago?
I've seen them on eBay. They are not the latest you'd find in Toys R Us, that I'm pretty sure.
