My small collection, excuse the ghetto thumbtack setup, but I enjoy looking at the undersides of the car while I go to sleep.

Then this big one, I didn't really expect to buy it, but it was at Toys R Us that day I was there, thrown onto the shelf floor with all the other discarded Hotwheels :nervous:
 
Nice little collection, Spartan0189.



Nope, but it's a Skyline, so it's automatically a GTP must have. :P


A new lot arrived yesterday.

Jealous. Those are awesome! But I do have the black/brown/flames tanker truck, and have since I was little. 👍

I love the description on the bottom left of the Search car in the top left of the second pic. "Tinted canopy!" WOOOW!!!1!1!!1!!!11!1one!1!!1!11!1!seven :D
 
I love the excitment in the caption on some of those cars.


"Smoldering Looks!" :lol:

The person backed out for due to a work conflict. :banghead: I'm now meeting them on Wednesday at 6 CST. I just want the Diablo!

Just picked up the CL find and it went very well. This guy said he had them as a kid, but just collected them to look at. I thought, "surely they'll have some damage." WRONG. These are mint. Crazy mint. Just pulled off the shelf mint. He must have had these in kept in a closet or shoe box or somewhere that direct/indirect light couldnt get to them because the chrome still shines and the windows are all clear. I've been taking a lot of chances with lots recently and they are all paying off. Not a junker of filler in the lot.

Good to hear you got the lot. 👍 Now you know what we're going to say next: PIIIIIIICCCCCSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! :D
 
that damned red Jag and the black Porsche with red rims were impossible to find over here in Mexico. Wish I had them -_-

How long of a run is Wyvern taking his dog to? PICS DUDE, PICS!
 
TEN.

BUCKS.

Oh got damn.

Dude, really deep jealousy. Amazing grab for the money. Those Matchboxes and the Indy cars are unreal. Both Mercedeseseses could easily be worth that money over here.

A steal.

I was at pawn shop Monday night and they had three of those red w/black top matchbox alfas in the original package for .99. They also had the white mercedes convertible and silver mercedes sedan in one of my picks (6-7 of them actually) in the original yellow boxes as well for the same price. They must have bought out a store inventory as they had many other nuch newer and they all had Movie Gallery stickers on them. I already have both models, but for .99 I wonder if I should go and pick them up.

PS: Video rental stores carried die-cast at one point...Why??

I pulled the Pontaic and Thunderbird out of a 2/1.00 bin at a flea market several months back. I think I posted a group pick including those two cars (and the Alfa) but I'll add just a single pick of the group this PM

Wonder Woman car. I always like new things to research. Lucky you the tampol on the hood is still largely intact. Is that paint on FL tire?
