Searched with no results.

Any collectors in here?

I started collecting back last year. Mainly looking for Hondas/Nissans and any Treasure Hunts.

Here's todays find:

I have a few hundred hotwheels
Several dozen 1/18 from Hotwheels, Maisto, Sunstates and a couple of other companies.
I will find pics and share sometime soon

If you want some good Nissan die-cast models, try Kyosho.
https://www.kyosho.com/eng/products/diecast/

Their attention to detail is amazing. The headlights flip up, the seats move, and all that stuff.

Also look up Bburago.
As a kid I used to have a bunch of their models.

This one in black was probably the best one I had. I wonder where it is now.

Nice! I have about a hundred of random Hot Wheels in packages...probably nothing special tho. :( just old ones and new.

Zilvias ability to find stupid shit to spend your money on never ceases to amaze me.

With that said... I do have an S13 Siliva and AE86 Hotwheels around here somewhere. I'll try to dig them up...

Waaaaaay too many from the early 90's until now. I love them, but HWs don't display well packaged and take up so much god damn space.

OP - quit hoarding and leave some for the kids, yeah? :Ownedd:

Yes, because spending on 25 year old cars that will never be worth the cash we put in them is SOUND investing, lol.

I love my models, I really do.

U looking for any fast and the furious ones I have over 30 of them I want to sell

I usually only buy ones after the cars I like in real life, usually haha. I did manage to find the #38 Champion Racing Porsche GT-1 at a collector store near my fiance's parents house. It's not a Treasure Hunt or anything, but I like their livery cars.

http://www.southtexasdiecast.com/hwg...0/2000_250.jpg

have a few skylines, Datsuns, RX7s, ect. Things I enjoy in real life. Have some bigger 1/8th scale too, but mostly just cheap entertainment when we are wondering target or w/e.

As far as hobbies go, something that costs $0.97 every now and again isn't bad. the 510s and R32s are by far my favorite.

http://i568.photobucket.com/albums/s...707_152537.jpg

my only one. i just bought it Tuesday.

I think kyosho can stay out of this and so can 1:18, I would keep this stuff to 1:64 scale. Because there is already a model collectable car thread from back in the day, that mainly dealt with larger scale cars. I have a few thousand hotwheels, and they are mostly Nissans, jdm and muscle cars, very few cars are not real cars, unless you count the hommer and the snoopy car ect.

If you dont know check out lamelygroup blog.

my mom works for Mattel, i have a bunch of pretty rare ones she brings home from work. i even have a 1969 Don Prudhomme racing Hot Wheels still in the package. also a bunch from the Toy Fairs my mom used to go to in new york.

ill take pictures tonight

^lucky.


I dont do the made up cars. I like to keep it to the real ones. I have the cartoon ones though like:

Flintstones
Simpsons Car
Jetsons Car
etc etc

I wish my mom worked at matel.

https://flic.kr/s/aHsko8oj5B

I probably have abt 300 hotwheels and matchboxes. loose and in package. hundreds of other sized diecasts too. lots of gens I got here holding on for a long time.

I used to work for mattel...

Used to see all them ebay nerds fighting at the toystore the of new shipment arrives lol

Old fat men going at it for a couple of bucks lmao.. Priceless

Cool super delorean, I haven't found that one yet. Is the 180 in the same case as the delorean??

I picked these up last week...
http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...psxjlvjqwv.jpg

If you're speaking of the Hover Mode Delorean, I still have 4 that I am willing to sell to reasonable offers.
I HAD one extra 180SX (they have been ELUSIVE), but someone paid me for it last night and I will ship tomorrow.

The 2016 models hit stores last Tuesday night/Wednesday morning ahead of the holiday shopping rush. I stopped by Wal Mart Wednesday afternoon for something completely different and wound up with like 15 new ones.
My Flickr album has been updated accordingly:

Great hobby. I used to collect these in my childhood. Now I am involve in rc car hobby.

Found this one at an Autozone not too long ago.

https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...00&oe=56E8F59C

I used to collect full series' when I was a kid. Now I just look for cool Japanese or classic cars.

I must say, however, that this fucking trend of capitalizing on HotWheels collectors is fucking disgusting. I hate it when I go to a local Target to look for the Kaido House Z and there are absolutely ZERO...then I go on IG and see that some middle-aged man hounded the kid in the toy department to bring out the boxes so he could raid them for all of the cool cars. Buys 20 Datsuns for ~$30 and then sells them for 5 times their original price. Total crock of shit.

Before you say that's just the 'game' or 'the early bird gets the worm' I'd like to let you know I disagree. I'm not religious but I'm pretty sure greed is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. That's all this is: greed. The same can be said about the guys that buy Japanese parts from Jesse Streeter and then turn them for a huge profit.

I finally found a Redline '72 Skyline at Autozone of all places.

I ended up finding two 180SXs in the wild (NEX and a random CVS) after I purchased one on eBay for $5 :picardfp:

I capitalize, but only on what I find in the wild. I don't hound anyone to open the boxes in the back at all, I keep my treasure hunts to myself and don't mind spending a Saturday in 3-5 different stores looking. For that, you can bet your ass I bought 4 of that 180SX and made 20ish bucks on the three I didn't keep. Made a bit on the Hover Mode Delorean too, still have 3 left.
I intend to do the same with this year's 180SX and the Fairlady Z.

Agree to disagree, I suppose. I only buy what I need. Opening the boxes up before they even get to the shelves is unforgivable, though. Those guys are total cunts. I have NEVER seen a Datsun 510 Wagon in the wild due to all the IG cunts in the San Diego area.

How much are you selling the Deloreans for?

You gonna buy the Deloreans to keep Dizzariot, or do you plan on flipping a few?
If the latter.....you'll contradict your thread about collectors...lol
I only had hand-me-down hot wheels, and I handed them down again.
My favorite was the diablo, but meh...

Your obvious attempt to antagonize is obviously obvious. It's okay.

I keep all my Super Treasure Hunts/JDM/4x4 stuff and only sell off the rest to help fund my hobby. I usually sell them for $1-2 markup and actual shipping costs.

Dizza, if there is one your looking for lmk. I dont mind snagging and shipping for cost.

I have found that y'all get different stuff in CA than I get here in NC. Usually everything I sell I do through FB and simply take reasonable offers, I just moved one of the Deloreans for $5 shipped, just enough to make it worth my time.

Like I was saying, I know I will find stuff looking around and someone may need it.

https://farm1.staticflickr.com/727/2...31bf856d_z.jpg
All of these will be in the "available" box for sale/trade for someone in need.

I'll take a Delorean (hover mode) for that price. How much to add a Kaido House Z? I've checked the three Super Targets in San Diego and the only ones I've seen with the holiday cards (snowflakes) were a Lamborghini Urus and some made-up, ugly thing.

I have yet to see a 180 hot wheels everyone keeps posting pics about

I've only seen two in the wild. I had to eBay my first. I opened one and kept one in the box.

I guess I can do them both for like 8 bucks shipped, I have three Fairladies to move.

I only found three in stores, two have been long sold and one is in a box it might never escape from.

I come across quite a few 180sxs in the wild. I sold all my Fairladys and have 2 Porsche Outlaws left.

Have some Hover Mode 2015&2016s and BTTF Retros.

I bought one Porsche Outlaw week before last and tossed three back in the bin yesterday, didn't think I would be able to move them quickly.

Good call. I've been sitting on 3-4 now for a week or two. They were selling when they first came out.

looking for the Greddy 180sx

If it is ANYTHING like the 2015 plain one, it will be HARD to come by. I plan to snap up every one I see

It's not out yet you piece of shit IDIOT.




















:kiss:

sometimes I just wanna drop it in that:mrmeph: I've seen a few on eBay in the last week

Spent 5 minutes digging through a bin this morning, came up with these:

https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5747/...21ecfc47_k.jpg

^Jesus them old ass looking hands....

^lol









:tweak:

Damn... I used to play with these as a kid and thought nothing of them. Then I moved to r/c nitro cars and trucks, but it seems as if I need to venture back into this hobby.

still have probably 4-500 90's/early 2000's at my parents house from when i was a kid covered in probably 1/2 an inch of dust ,but other than that i only have a dozen or so versions of cars i like/own in real life (s-chassis, rwd monte carlos, hondas) and i have the two different versions of the delorean time machine. i did just pick up a red 180sx though and would like to find a greddy version when they come out.

are the boso style cars that were out awhile back the kaido racer z a few of you guys have talked about?

I think hot wheels has a line called mount fuji I think? I forgot the term but they had a hiace van I believe and a r34

Where you finding those Fairlady Zs at Phlip?

I've started collecting for my 15 month old son so he will have a nice collection. I don't really subscribe to the whole "fantasy" car thing, I like the production cars personally.

Personally, I've always like a Porsche, classic designs and easy to pick out in a crowd, I usually buy every Porsche I see on the shelf.

My father in law has a 67' Cougar 390 cu in, 4 speed, posi trac, it was gifted to my wife and I as a wedding gift and for that reason I buy every Cougar I can find.

Naturally coppin' the 180sx
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1499/...a8ef1e61_z.jpg

Some random ones I picked up this week, dad used to have a Chevy Luv truck so that one was a no brainer.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1569/...605d0b1a_z.jpg

My dad has two Chevy C-10s, I'm thinking about getting this one out of the package and stripping the paint off, painting it to match one of his, then seal it back up and it'll look like it came that way :)
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1464/...5fee8a86_z.jpg

First Speedhunters car I've found!
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1608/...f36cbb3e_z.jpg

Last but not least some randoms I picked up the other day, including a nice haul of Falken Porsches.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1673/...1a1f45c6_z.jpg

I love the Porsches.

I managed to find 6 minty Kaido Z's the other day along with a 917k Porsche.

Still hunting down the Yellow Texas Drive Em.

First S30s I have found, love these so much I may wait until I have a few more to strip one down and custom paint myself.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1696/...af74bc96_c.jpg

Also came across this, a blank NSX card, why did it have to be a white one? I have every color NSX but white! Oddly there was no glue residue and the card wasn't torn? But I'm still suspecting someone stole it.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1458/...91515b3e_c.jpg

SCORE! I grabbed all of these I found. Def stripping one down to paint since I got so many.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1576/...6255c4c4_c.jpg

Found this as well, first one I've seen. Tein S2000 hardtop.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1716/...eb45c1a6_c.jpg

Also picked up a few Lanci, Stratos. Would love to see one turn into a rally car :)

Old crap in garage

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...206_164904.jpg

I found about 20 of the red 180sx's in a bin at walmart. Bought every single one. I must have been the first one to go through it.

Got this Alex tagliani model sucks that he died I haven't seen another one since. I'm sure everyone's got the sa22 and I love my Aston I have a few more just gotta find em


https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...g=eyJpIjoidCJ9

which I greatly appreciate, even though I found another one literally an hour after sending you payment :keke:. And that was the first time I ever bought one from somewhere other than Target/Walmart etc etc...

I only buy what I see/like when I come across it.

I have yet to (thank god):
-go on forums
-buy from ebay
-download the app to scan them
-look up/learn the difference between different types of series/collections

So I consider myself very "new" to this hobby still, and thank god it hasn't cost me too much (yet)

^Most costly thing is time. I have so much time vested in hunting for certain models.

Actually about to purge a large portion of my collection soon.

Today's finds...prolly nothing amazing to anyone else, but these "Grass Chompers" are cool as shit lol.

Attachment 91788

I have 8 of the red 180sx hotwheels. Brand new. $20 bucks shipped.

I sift through the hotwheels everytime I go grocery shopping lol. At $1 each, it's a great hobby.

Here's my collection right now:

http://s30.postimg.org/dfwpou9i9/IMG_0855.jpg
http://s30.postimg.org/6mwcskiox/IMG_0856.jpg

Still can't find 180sx I need to go to Kmart. They r known to carry exclusives.

I have 8. ill sell them all $20 shipped.

My local frys/kroger always has at least a couple

Found the elusive white 180sx today too!

In addition to the few I have at the house...
Feel free to let me know if y'all need anything.

Man, it seems Hot Wheels are all the rage now. My daughter and I only collect real cars, but as of lately, we can't seem to find any.

I normally get real cars too, my daughter gets whatever she likes. Mine are all in these huge ass boxes in my bedroom.

Pretty interesting cars...

https://youtu.be/kMyKicCGmQ0

First attempt...
Needs to be lower!!!!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...122_194458.jpg

Felipe, is that the one you got from me?
Know that I have the black AND white Greddy ones ready to move if you need them.

The new series should be hitting stores any second now.
I got the 8-piece Star Wars, Super Mario Brothers and Ghostbusters sets recently, plus at least 10 I haven't even brought in out of the car yet.

Yeah... Kinda didn't want to take it out, but i said fuck it im lowering it and tucking the wheels. lol

Still got the white one. Might just paint it black. Im also going to add side mirrors

Look what I found at a Albersons market while shopping for food lol

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...210_182819.jpg

Where are the S14s?

I dont think they ever made one? If they did, 2 Fast and 2 Furious series maybe?

I have literally never seen an S14 or Z32.

Nah, the F&F ones were all Skylines

I think the only Z32 wa smade back in the 90's. Early part. Its on card 234.

The S14, nothing when googled.

I did find a $TH the other night though.

I think I have only scored one super in the last 4-5 years.
Of all places, it was at a damned Dollar General when they were having a buy-1-get-2 sale. So I paid $0.44 for a damned STH. I initially left it there, realized what it was and SPED back to the store for it.

There's a clean FD RX-7 out right now with no graphics, mine is dark blue but not sure about color variations

I saw that one and regret not getting it, I can't even think of why I didn't now looking back.
I did get the SA/FB one, but it went right into the giant box I keep these in before I thought to photograph it

I have that fairlady 2000��

I been waiting like a dope fiend for the Holiday and New Years sets to hit the store, but I now realize that the sets will contain ZERO licensed models and will take a pass on both.
I am, however, watching for the 2018s to get to the stores, I swing by Wal Mart and Dollar General frequently.

Looks like I spoke too soon. Stopped in the next morning and got all kinds of cool shit from the 2018 line
I STILL probably won't be getting the holiday or new years sets without any licensed models
