@R1600Turbo - Well, you certainly earned it. đź‘Ť If I have to get it on TTP for $15, $16, instead of investing gas, time & effort, I'm OK with that. :lol:
 
Here is the pic.

Fiesta TH, monster dairy delivery, and silverado.
 
Well just when I thought I couldn't get any luckier, I walk in Dollar General and I find this:

A Speedbox Treasure Hunt. Not my first treasure hunt I have found at Dollar General before, I have lost count as to how many I have found there over the years. It seems every time they stock up, there is always one treasure hunt there just waiting to be grabbed.

And then a Kool Kombi.

And last but not least, a Red Bird.

I will admit finding that Treasure Hunt just doesn't feel like much at all compared to finding those body swappers and that Hi Tail Hauler.
 
Are they new, or old? When they are on, Matchbox are the most impressive examples of $1 mainline cars. đź‘Ť
 
So one of the backordered Tomica cars I have is a old Suzuki Alto? Again, AmiAmi, I'll have your baby, yada yada yada..... While looking online, I ran into this:

It leans towards questionable modification, but clearly, you see the casting has a huge potential. :embarrassed:

Now back to looking for whatever I was looking for. :crazy:

Edit: If anybody's interested in TLV Bus, this is the cheapest one I've ever seen. Although the bus I really want is a Hino(silver, Tokyu line), casting itself, I think the Isuzu I bought is much better detailed. Having said that, $40 for one of these 'shipped' is worth a look. :)
Old. Well, a few years old.
Back when they were on a roll!

P.S. @Cano & @R1600Turbo - I'll have the packages mailed, and total for those Greenlight cars Monday. :)

COUGH Land Rover COUGH Exige COUGH SL55
Aren't Rover & SL55 also old? Exige, yes, super nice.
Also, that A100 Dodge and Karman Ghia ragtop.
Karman Ghia, I did like. A100, not so much. I think it was too much white, and too much white plastic? Not sure.
There is not a single questionable thing in there. Just pure undulterated awesome.
You need one, Cano. It's under ten bucks on Amiami. Currently available as a backorder item, but I doubt it'll be around for long(2011 release). It's a kei car, so it'll be one microscopic casting, too. I can't wait to get mine. :embarrassed:


It's a neat little car stock, but man, the possibilities with the boy racer/hot hatch-look:



After it, I'm getting the newer(but still ancient) Alto in red.

I have a Renault 5TL that looks close to that hatch, but I was saving it for a Rally car custom.

Aren't Rover & SL55 also old? Exige, yes, super nice.

The Defender (surprisingly) and Exige are 2006 castings. The SL55 is 2005. Not '90s old, but still 9 years.

anyone custom the monster dairy? I wanted to slam it but dont really have any idea. lolx

I'll tell you what not to do: slam it. Someone's done just that before and I thought it was redundant because a regular Dairy Delivery already exists. Make an all-terrain TV broadcasting van.



edit: For those who wanted to be cool like me and buy them Majorette rally cars (including that black Fiesta you all drooled over):

10447068_772154252816041_9151915285557595782_n.jpg


DaBoxToys will be carrying Majorettes soon. Prices? I haven't a clue. But just know it will be more accessible, but also more likely to sell out faster.



edit edit edit: hey guys! guys! I found two 40-car lots for 99 cents each:
