In order. Let's go, nova wagon non TH, 07 mustang, gsx, road runner. All j and k case cars.
 
It's been well over a year (maybe even two years) since I bought a Hot Wheels. Went to buy some just-in-case-something-happens emergency cheapo oil at Wilkos yesterday after school and noticed a little box of various Hot Wheels in the toys aisle. I scooted on over just to see if anything in there was interesting, and after some rummaging around, found this. There was an AE86 too but the packaging was in a bad state. I don't have anywhere to keep this but it looks nice. :dopey:

I love that Celica, although if you'd like an idea on where to put it...

I can't remember you posting in this thread before, so, possibly, welcome aboard! :cheers:

:eek:! I don't have the wall space for that! Most of my Hot Wheels that are still in packages are just sat in a pile under my bed. :lol:

I have posted here before, but a long time ago, and only once I think. I did contribute to the customising thread once upon a time too. I tried modding an old Mini Hot Wheels I got as a kid but got as far as removing the paint and that was it. It just sits in a little box I made that doubles up as a very small cabinet along with a Matchbox Mustang now.

If you think that's a lot of cars, no joke there's around 200 more in boxes waiting to go somewhere, and that's just the unopened ones.
 
Yet another nice Matchbox. 👍


Finally picked up scale to sell more hot wheels on TTP. While there(Walmart), I did pick these up.

Awesome new M2s. :embarrassed:

Edit:

Thank you sensei.

Nice cars a6m5! 👍 *mini rant* Unfortunately the Walmart in town sucks so bad with restocking I'll probably never see these cars in person. :grumpy: I actually took the crap cars they did have last time I was there and stuffed them all onto 4 pegs *the store only has 18 pegs for mainlines* in a bizarre attempt to trip some braindead employee into thinking, "There's empty pegs, time for a restock!", but knowing this store, the exact same cars will be in the exact same spots next time I go to that section.👎 I would travel to other stores in other towns, but I live in the middle of 🤬 nowhere 30 miles from a town with better options, and being unemployed means I can't afford to drive all over the place just for Hot Wheels. *end mini rant*
 
That GT40's hard to beat.

:lol:👍

This last Walmart I went to, there are two on the same street, not even 10 minutes a apart. First one I went to can be pretty bad. I have seen it near empty a few times. Just down the road though, they generally do a good job. In fact, last night, after picking out those two M2 VWs, I checked out the mainline hot wheels on the pegs, then the dump bin...... then another dump bin. :D I never check, but this store can have second dump bin in the weirdest places. Last night, it was behind the bikes. I once encountered one behind the cashiers & customer service in the fenced off aisle. :odd:

Edit: Greenlight's new Hitch and Tow series looks cool. Pity that the only access I have to GL is through the usual online suspects, do want the Impala and Cheyenne.
I saw that. On AmiAmi of all places, I 🤬 you not. :lol:
 
Got some L case cars tonight.
Aventador J, '83 Chevy, '14 Corvette Convertible, Greenwood, Twin Mill III, and a couple Poppa Wheelies. You know, the good stuff, minus the Mooneyes Beetle, there were none of those. :(
 
While I was browsing some Tomicas today, I ran into these storage solution products. :lol:

Toyota 86 Police Bucket Circuit Trailer

They rock. :lol:

I was gonna ask about the pics, but if there isn't gonna be Mooneyes Beetle, forget it.....

:P j/k

Data limit thing, I forgot. :crazy: I'm sure you'll find the Beetle. You gotta "hunter" in ya.
Those two trucks and jeep would look great with a racecar on/in the trailer, if there's any movable parts.
Yeah, I may have to look at them after all. :crazy:
 
This comes in other colors, as well as in pair(top) as unmarked police cars. I'm leaning towards the green sedan($13!), but I like this white one, too...... but those wheels. :crazy:

period-perfect SSR Mesh wheels not good enough for you? Come on dude, those are perfect.

CM's Rally Car Collection SS.3 Lancia Delta S4 1986 Monte Carlo
The real car got banned in the same year it began competing. Shame.

Awesome grab 👍
 
That's like 3 to 1 vote, man. I don't think it's hideous, but I still think it'd have looked a lot better with dark colored wheels, or maybe just silver. :crazy:
Look, those are cool and I do like the Green version a lot but we all know that this is the far superior August release. :P And it's only like $12 too.
Oh, be that way J Money!
 
This is so stupid. So I fixed the slanted stance on the SLR McLaren. When I go to put the screw back on to fix it to the base, it goes slanted again. Turns out the base was the source of the problem. It forced the interior piece to be warped.

So I ditched the base and put a Kyosho in them plastic cases. A Kyosho. I can't believe it.
