Here's a pic of that incomplete casting I found, you can see the notch out of the rear fender. Weird too- this one isn't but this model comes as a $uper hunt too IIRC. Woulda been AMAZING to find it as an error and a hunt at the same time.

Nice haul. Looking forward to finding those. Stopped in the Findlay WM passing through to Detroit on Monday night...was barren then.

Whoever asked about the red 500, it was in one of the earlier case assortments this year. I think I'm still seeing them in Krogers around me, so probably still available in grocery stores, dollar stores, drug stores, etc that lag behind Walmart for having the latest and greatest.

Found a pretty good haul on the way home. Finally found the Aston DB5 in silver!

Check your green mustang for the spoiler, some have been found without any spoiler ( odd since it is cast in, Ive not found any) and check your copos for narrow rear wheels. I've only found one like that but they've been found other places.

Big meats on the camaros and the mustang has a spoiler but it looks like its bent on the risers now that I'm looking closely. They might have deleted it from some castings if it is that delicate.

Seems odd, the next mix has it in yellow and none have been found without the spoiler.

Why do you buy so many of the same car? Is in in case you wear one out playing with it?

Ill give some away occasionally. If I have any trick or treaters show up dressed as race car drivers they will get a car in addition to candy. Plus they're 80¢ so why not.

Stopped at Trader's World on the way to a friend's pool party, looking for vendors with display cases. Didn't find any but found these two for reasonable $. Mystery Machine because I started watching the Mystery Inc cartoon on Netflix when I have 22 minutes to kill, and the Fiat because Fiat.

They have Muppets inspired cars from Hotwheels. This is Beaker's. It looks like a well known duo's car. Oi!

My buddy commissioned a 510 wagon so once I find the right wheels we'll get going on this...

I dug around and found this:

Looks cool, good euro/JDM wheel style so I broke it open.

 photo 1410224103_zps230aa359.jpg  photo 1410224105_zps016ca872.jpg I found these are not rubber tires but rather "co-molded" so this became a will it fit type thing since my buddy wants rubber tires.

Drilled it  photo 1410224197_zps0cf3b961.jpg

Came apart nice, I didn't take pictures of the 510 base but it was a bit of a pain since the SEL was narrower so I had to modify the base to fit these wheels...

And all swapped, a little awkward until it is painted...  photo 1410224210_zps5fdb0263.jpg  photo 1410224215_zpsa3bfb26c.jpg

What color do you think? Neon green is where I'm thinking...

It finally came, it came just the same. And already full. (Please ignore the hideous wallpaper, I've been planning on removing since, I don't know, when I moved in 3 years ago.)
