I love the vintage Matchboxes...

Me too. Probably even more than newer ones.

Currently trying to work out a bulk discount deal with an eBay seller. Hope he will comply with super-low prices on ugly fantasy cars!

So this dude who bought my VW Golfs has a ridiculously long address street name. I don't think my international customs forms has enough space for that! I'd print a paypal label, but last time I did, it wouldn't print anything larger than my thumb, and they never refunded me for it.

Well my dad went to see his little brother at his old house Sunday because of something that happened recently and my dad got to bring home his old Hot Wheels case full of vehicles he collected a long time ago! Lots of interesting Hot Wheels in there including a Wal Mart 1979 Ford F-150, 3 Little Debbie promotional vehicles from 1997, some Matchbox Mustangs with rubber tires and many more, some I have never seen before! Nearly all of them are in extremely mint condition. It's evident he never played them, almost as if he took them out of the packaging and never touched them again...

I have pictures of every vehicle, but I am just going to post the ones I find interesting for now :

1979 Ford F-150 Wal Mart exclusive from the year 1999. My brother is so obsessed with this truck. Never in my entire decade of collecting have I ever seen my brother so obcessed with a Hot Wheel, he love's this one like nothing I have ever seen before.


A pink Mercedes Benz. (I forget the name) I never knew this thing had a dog inside of it!


Porsche.


Little Debbie promotional vehicles:

Thunder Roller. As minty as it can be. 1st time seeing one in person to be honest. Seen it on the internet before, but never seen any Thunder Roller's in real life, ever.


Fork Lift. Barely rolls unfortunately, wheels are a bit black but the paint is still in good shape.


Ex Corgi Off Road Racer. I always wanted one of these things. Back wheels keep rubbing against the body for some reason.


And that's all I am going to post for now, but here is the rest of the case :

Bad picture I know but if there are any other vehicles ya'll want to see, just ask and I will post them.

While I am amazed by theses vehicles, I am a bit upset too. His brother said we could have them at first, but then just in the nick of time he changed his mind. As a member of the family, I thoroughly understand his attachment for them and why he wouldn't want to give them up because that is a trait I have well inherited myself as a collector, but all the same, I do wish I could have them all. After all they couldn't be in safer hands anyway.

Luckily there is good news! My dad will be going back next week hopefully and he thinks he knows were all his old Hot Wheels are that he collected back when he was a collector. He claims he has more than I do, and I have over 1500 last time I checked! If they really are still there, I think my collection is about to sky rocket! I am hoping I can go and help him find them all and maybe convince his brother to let me and my brother have his Hot Wheels. I have wanted them all since I was little. I hope it finally happens!

I love the Ford truck. And I need more pics of the Mustangs in the case.

 

[Sonygamer455]

I figured you would ask for that. Will post them later.

I love that truck too, but my brother will never let me have it.

 

[MedigoFlame]

@AOS- I can do that.

@R1600Turbo Distribution does seem to be rather...lacking in recent months. Would the same be for the Retro Entertainment series? Still never seen anything beyond the blue Italian Job Mini.

 

[Johnny1996]

I can't wait to see some of the cars from that case, @Sonygamer455.

As for myself, I need to get some cars from friends that don't want them anymore. I have a friend who is a collector, and he has a motherload of loose HWs and carded THs. He's probably looking at over $200 secondary market values of THs alone. I want to try to scoop up some of what he doesn't want. I don't see him much, so the first step will be getting a chance to talk to him.

He said yes to part 1. I planned a part 2 to do an even lower discount. Wish me luck.

I had a brief glimpse of the case with the Star Trek Enterprise and that's been it. Nothing since. Might have to hit up eBay this weekend for a BTTF Toyota Truck.

Well here they are mustang fanatic!











Any idea what kind of Matchbox Mustangs these are? What Series? I stopped collecting Matchboxes a long time ago and I don't know much about them.

Holy crap. Those are incredible. I really love the last two. They look like they're all limited editions. .

 

[Johnny1996]

Oh yeah. I was serious when I said post all the muscle cars, @Sonygamer455.

After 2 years of it being carded because I thought it was rare, I decided to open it up because I no longer care!

2010 Speed Machines Lambo Gallardo LP550-2.

Actually, the reason I took it out was because I had an excuse to this time. Same with the FXX.

This one needed a new one for the blog. Previous photo was lacking so much.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Okey, will do whenever I get home.

Must be, never seen any like them before to be honest.

I know.

EDIT: Just did some research, them Mustangs are from the Superfast series just as I suspected.
