What is the deal there with $miglo's 280ZX? Looks like some sort of glow-in-the-dark? Plastic, right? Green Porsche's a beauty!

a6m5.... Stop it with your (x2) Hot Ones CRX that i don't have!!, i feel like HULK SMASHING with my jelly green internet hands that beautifully crafted diecast.

I respect you. That's why I've decided I won't post the third one when I find it. j/k

Seriously, i need to get me one of those.

Yes, you do. Kidding aside, this is one of my favorite casting for sure. 👍

I was looking at a page on facebook that sells Hot Wheels and they are selling a error Mercury Cougar on there with two different wheel types! They are asking for $45 for that one!

I have one, and its not worth that.

Didn't think so, the website they sell it on is rather expensive with what they sell, too expensive if you ask me.

The newsagents I go to has now started selling Hotwheels so I asked if I could look through the box. They said yes and I found this in there. Ill post pics of the rest of the cars I got from the newsagents tomorrow. Now for my market buys.

[Antonisbob]

Hey! I got a beat up version of Hogg's Caddy! Nice to see one in the package still. Where did you people find this awesome stuff?

 

[Apok]

I saw that '52 Chevy pick up in a store a couple of days ago. Didn't pick it up though. Simply not a fan of it so I'll let someone else that likes it take it.

 

[Cano]

oooo blistercarded Thunder Roller. That's hardcore. Nice trashed stuff too. I wonder if you'll ever come around to do that junkyard you want to do. I for sure want tos ee pics of dat.

haha, that's freaking cool

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm stopping by a Fry's grocery store (Kroger) on the way home that has been confirmed to have received their new 4-sided shipper. (a day after I last checked for it, FML)

Anyone that wants/needs one of the exclusive yellow Camaros speak up now...

 

[a6m5]

Don't forget to check for that Mystery bag thingie!

Nice shot, $miglo. Very cool. Thanks for posting! 👍

P.S. I like the Big Hogg's Caddy as well. Awesome find, Ben!(that open-wheel race car's money, too)

Doesn't it just? The casting is rather excellent as well. Same goes for the WRX for that matter

Thanks for bringing the car to our attention!

Always happy to help, a6.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Im curious but has anyone got that Hot Wheels Mars Rover from one of them old actions packs they used to sell in the late 90's?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I used to have that set. No idea what happened to it. I was a kid, so it got played with. Probably sold at a yard sale. There's a new one coming out this year in the single packs. Probably won't be released until after it lands successfully on Mars next week.

Anyway, stopped at that grocery store and didn't find squat except for a couple '12 Corvette Z06 errors. One has all large wheels, and the other has a '11 Grand Sport body.

 

[Sonygamer455]

There's a new one coming out this year in the single packs.

Really!?!?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah Mars Curiosity Rover. I think they are waiting to see if it lands successfully before they release it. I have a feeling if it crash lands we won't get the Hot Wheels.

Looks like this:

 

[Nessy]

$miglo, Radon 280Z= cool 👍, i used to have the Matchbox Triumph TR7 that did the exact same thing.

Also forgot to mention a6m5, that Tomi Celica turbo is too cool (even if it's seen better days) 👍, i remember when i was younger my dad had the 1/18 Tamiya model kit version in blue (seem to remember it had Rayban tampo's).

Thanks man. 👍

I saw a mint blue one on eBay, with the original box and everything. But of course, it was going for "real" money, and since I couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money on this car, I settled for a junker.

P.S. I hope they release the Mars Rover. I'd buy it!

Looks like this:

Okey you just literally made my day when you said it may possibly be rereleased! I have wanted that one so badly for quite a long time! So awesome! I wish i knew how to do back flips Im not doubting you at all but where did you find this? I'd really like to know!

 

[CodeRedR51]

If you've had access to this years release poster, you would have known for several months now.

Yea i wish they had them in 5 packs like they used to, i remember me and my brother got a 5 pack back in 2007 and we got the 2007 collector poster with it. By the way i looked it up and it is going to be in the 2012 new models, so it will be a completey different rover than the old Soujouner mars rover from the action pack. To be honest i doubt they will cancel the Curiosity mars rover because Hot Wheels aren't one to cancel production on vehicles before they come out, not even if it crash landed. If i had to describe how i would be if they did, well I think this smiley says all ->
