Went to the Hotwheel show in Dayton, scored these guys. The "treasure hunt" STI I paid $2 for, the rest were $1 each, even the larger AE86 in the back. Maybe good karma after pushing a full size GMC truck out of a snowy parking space at Hara Arena?

I'm fairly sure that Fiesta's a t-hunt as well- they tell hunts these days by the little flame logo.

I did a wheel swap on a 2000gt today:

Yep. From one of the final '13 cases. Found one at Kroger a few weeks ago.

The one you want is from the fast and furious subset last year. It will need a wheel swap to match your car but it's pretty close.

I found a red and black '11 today. I am tempted to paint it.

Nice! None of the stores I regularly hit have updated their Retro pegs in months.

Found most of the new Mustang 50th series at a couple WM's this week. Like seeing the '90's Trans-Am Mustang casting used again, but the front axle alignment seems off.

GRM's answer to everything. $2 at the store in Bellbrook, larger size (1/32 maybe?) Road Champs 1991 car. Got home and realized the top flips up with a slide switch on the bottom, doors open, and both seats even fold forward!

That thing is sweet!

Enough of my extras sold that I have a couple hundred bucks extra to pick up some Japan cars while I'm in Chicago next week for the hot wheels nationals. If anyone is looking for something specific and RARE let me know and I'll keep an eye out!

There's a few MK1 MR2's I've found on eBay/Amazon but all from Japan with high shipping $. Especially a white one...

Dangit, now I have to keep an eye out for that Boulevard GT2...

Somehow I need to get hands on a Gulf 917, too, but they are all 35 bucks!

It was a little crazy, I saw three of the 510 wagon and six of the 993 and there were 900 vendors. There quite a few sets of Gulf cars there and the preferred blue 917 I got doesn't have a painted engine. Pretty cool.

And the Children's Miracle Network Charity car, usually 2500 charity cars are done but only 500 were made this year.

Coolness! I never found the Boulevard 510 wagon or GT2. Still kicking around pulling the trigger on a set of the Road Racing set from Canada.

The same casting was used in the Flying Customs line that was out last year.

I still see them occasionally in Walmarts and Kmarts. Same batch had a cool 914-6.

You'll need to log in to post.
