Isn't that the car that was all over Walmart couple of months ago?

No, check T Hunted.

Yes! Another DBS and Reventon!

Meh. Needs more JDM.

@Sonygamer455 your photo gave my phone a stroke. Resize please!

 

[Spacegoat]

If somebody get the GTO-Judge, post a pic. Please! I may, or may not want that one.

You mean like these? (scroll down).

I apologize for the large images, I am aware of what you said earlier, but I feared the thumbnails would be too small to see clearly so I posted them in full size.

Oh well, I'll be more than happy to resize them for you. I just realized Cano could just click on them to make them bigger.

EDIT: Done. 👍

How about my pics? I honestly don't know. They are not very big, so I've assumed it's alright.

I've been wanting hot wheels Superbird, finally settled for this one(dirty cheap sale by boogytoo on TTP) + Love Bug for my VW nut coworker.


Don't know why, but I fancy this casting. I assume they change color?


Here's my Goodyear '55 Panel II(already have one, got this for the bike + wheels).


Already loose. Hot Wheels RLC/Real Riders '70 Plymouth Superbird

No, check T Hunted.

What are the differences? I think these are the ones seen at Walmart?

You mean like these? (scroll down).

That Aston's pretty sharp. I don't know if I could pass that one up. I like the toy-car look of the GTO, too. Hmmm....... You da man. Thanks for finding the pics. 👍

Dude I need that 'bird!

Prays that he won't get a bird of the body part type in return.

 

[CodeRedR51]

@a6m5 New packaging. Guess I just assumed the car was new too.

Like the stripes, needs black rims.

@mustang fanatic Thanks, Spacegoat linked the page earlier. 👍

That gotdamn Superbird. Do not get me into collecting Superbirds, damn it!

And no, the Revealers aren't colour-changers. They were originally wrapped in some yellow paper inside blister cards. Same idea as the black blistered mystery cars of 2007. It gets its name from dipping the wrapped car in water as that can dissolve revealing the car you obtained. There were additional things wrapped inside in limited numbers that got you mail-in prizes, so it's like a scratch-ticket.

Even if you don't collect it, if you were interested in Choro Q/Penny Racers, I suggest you look at these preorders: Sprinter Trueno Countach KPGC10

I preordered KPGC10 last night(I think), but Trueno & Countach preorders were already gone, so I was doing my best going "glass is half full(KPGC10)"..... I stopped by again to see if there were any other new preorders & Countach & Trueno's available again!

I was on the fence on the Countach, but for $4~$5, I could make that back on eBay without much trouble even if I changed my mind!

Wow. It's not like I was gonna try drowning it in water, but that's really good to know. Thanks Andy! 👍

By the way, I know you are wanting to know the price I paid for these so here it is. I got the Rolls Royce for $8 and all the other ones were $2 each!

Oh come on. They almost paid you to have them -_-

Had Jack open the glass case again because there was a box with some vehicles in it I wanted to look at and he mentioned there was a extremely rare casting in there. Turns out it was this old, beat up yellow Mercedes Benz 280SL lacking only the hood:
Unfortunitly, the box was $30 and I couldn't buy the Benz separately.

It's not "extremely rare", the Mercedes is quite common, this is a1973 release in enamel yellow, cappes rear wheels, open fronts. Yes it's rare, but without the hood it's not worty anything. Them telling you this is rare shows you have to be careful of what they tell you.

And then there is this.
Cano Remind me again about what you said earlier about the redline Corvette.

Not bad. That's probably well worth the $22 asking price. Is the chrome on the wheels still there? You could fabricate yourself a axle straightening tool (or buy it online) and make that look pretty good in 5 minutes.

So I don't even know how long it's been since I've popped in here.

I am still alive and I am still collecting Hot Wheels, for those of you that may be wondering.

Trouble is, the Target/Wal-Mart/K-Mart that I have at college has turned into pathetic stock HW wise this past year. Even after not checking for months they have nothing new. So, I haven't really accumulated much, and certainly not enough to warrant making a post. I will when I do, and since I'm home now for the summer I'll probably go ham on the Toys-R-Us.

But for now, I'm just dropping in to say hi. I see this thread is still alive and kicking. Good

This is always the case for me too. Plus, there are fewer good castings than before too. Flea markets are always the best. I always find the best cars there.

 

[Spacegoat]

Thanks for finding the pics. 👍

Dude no need to thank me, it wasn't difficult to find. Really like the colour scheme on the GTO a lot. Hopefully we might get the mystery bags down here eventually. Also that Superbird rocks. 👍 Damn you.

Love the "Was that so hard?" bit at the end. Always gives me a good chuckle.

Hi guys, been watching this thread for a few days now, decided to sign up and join the fun. Not sure if i have to do a intro of myself, however here's what I recently picked up:

 

[Sonygamer455]

I can believe that. How much do them body swappers go for anyway?

It's not "extremely rare", the Mercedes is quite common, this is a1973 release in enamel yellow, cappes rear wheels, open fronts. Yes it's rare, but without the hood it's not worty anything. Them telling you this is rare shows you have to be careful of what they tell you.

Disregard that about it being "extremely rare", that was a typing error on my part, it was supposed to go in a different place on my post, my bad. I can confirm he did say it was "rare" though.

Even if it was being sold separately (which it obviously wasn't), I wasn't quite willing to give up that truck and those body swappers for it since it was missing the hood. Don't get me wrong, I still want it but that is something I would probably wait and get later granted that the price is low. (If he was to sell it separate that is) I do agree, it is a bit worthless without the hood, but I still like it.

You do have a point there on that last sentence. I did get suspicious yesterday that he was trying to get me to pay full price for the Rolls Royce. The price tag was $10 and the lowest he said he would go was $8, so I handed him a 20 and I got only 2 bucks back and I began to wonder if he was trying to pull something on me, but turns out I just underestimated taxes instead. So yea, I do keep watch, although I still suck at math.

Not bad. That's probably well worth the $22 asking price. Is the chrome on the wheels still there?

Not sure to be honest. I will try to get a closer look next time I go. I wonder what the lowest he will go on it. My guess is somewhere around $19 to $20, but I won't know until I actually ask him.

You could fabricate yourself a axle straightening tool (or buy it online) and make that look pretty good in 5 minutes.

Really?! You have my attention. Tell me more about these axle straighteners, I could really use them.

So I saw another Koenigsegg and BTTF Toyota Truck. Decided to pass up on them seeing as how no one's crazy about it on eBay. I also saw that F&F Gran Torino and Daytona. I wanted those two pretty badly, but I walled the Torino so I can't collect that, and if I already have 2 Daytonas to mod so that one was definitely not necessary.

Not sure if i have to do a intro of myself, however here's what I recently picked up:

Boooo!



I kid, in case you didn't catch the emote. Welcome to this forum. We like old Japatanese cars and rust-buckey muscles cars, and we hope you do too (eventually). We also like supercars and other modern future crazy cool scalpable trade-bait cars....some of us anyway. Insert "other obligatory yada yada filler welcoming words" here. Enjoy your stay, post pics of your collection and new grabs, but try to keep them smaller than 1000px because we all have slow cellular phones. Also, don't double post if you can help it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I need that BTTF truck.

 

[AOS-]

Want one? I still have one. Two actually- anyone else want one? I still haven't shipped your stuff yet. It's going to have to go loose though.

[a6m5]

Do you guys hear an echo.....?



Yeah, going rate for that Toyota Truck was fairly reasonable on eBay.

Dude no need to thank me, it wasn't difficult to find. Really like the colour scheme on the GTO a lot. Hopefully we might get the mystery bags down here eventually.

I was like, "no way the top search result actually lead to the very page...." & it did! Oops.

Also that Superbird rocks. 👍 Damn you.

Damn me! Damn me!

Not sure if i have to do a intro of myself

Don't let this guy trick you, guys. I was introduced to him few years ago. Food poisoning nearly killed me. Only time ever I was so sick I wished I was dead. -end bad joke- Welcome to the thread, Bad Sushi!

I see this thread is still alive and kicking. Good

It's mostly thanks to guys like Andy & Jason, big time post whores.[/biggest post whore of all] Nice to see you man. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah throw it in and let me know the total, can paypal ASAP.

I don't really post whore here anymore unless I have something I feel like sharing.

 

[AOS-]

Paypal me $12. That will cover the car and shipping I asked for.

Boy, the car is great, but disappointed with this seller. Again. Car is perfect, but the box is defaced with some gooey residue. Second purchase from daboxtoys. Both prompt delivery, but collector's items arriving with scarred packaging is a huge bummer.... both times. 👎

Tomica Limited Vintage LV-137a Isuzu Bellett 1600 GT-R('73 model)


Thankful the actual car is in perfect shape!

Dude that sucks. And as you said thankfully the car itself is in perfect shape. Looks great too. 👍 I already knew it would though. Love that model.

Especially because TLV's have the coolest boxes!

Paint job & detailing on this car's pretty money, but it could sit little bit lower. Hmmmm........
