Hot Wheels

I thought they were only used at airports where I have seen them. The university here has something similar here but smaller for their workers to put around in.

 

Thanks @SJ_81 for scoring these for me at a Barnes and Nobel of all places! Still need to locate #3 & #4 but I'm sure they'll come along eventually!

 

There are a few different makes that look pretty much the same. I see them every now and then around town. I don’t know anything about them but I heard it’s hard to register in some states but not NH. Love to have one but I know I never will

 

Still looking for the new blue Tacoma.

 

I have an extra Tacoma if you're interested I trading something

 

You’re totally welcome! I’ll be on the lookout for the rest!

 

Found the green one this morning.

 

I don’t collect Jeeps but thought this was kinda cool looking. I’ll give it to my nieces son next time he comes over. I give him a car ever time he does.

 

Grabbed this one for my Nephew.
This store had quite a few New HW Broncos of different colors. No Tacoma’s though.

 

Came across this today

 

Local grocery store score.

 

Here is another one of my Thunderbolt 64 Fairlanes. These Revell kits were always great builds. Everything went together well with very few problems unlike MPC kits which never fit together properly and require a lot more work. The silver wheel stander Dart is an MPC. You can see how poorly the roll cage fits on a otherwise decent build. That kit is from the 1970s. I found it at a yard sale 8 or 10 years ago for $10. It was all there but the decals were ruined. The black 33 -34 Ford is a 1/18 diecast that I traded for.

 

New wave has arrived in the metro

 

Here’s the original one next to the RLC remake. Probably won’t but wish the would do the other two matchbox drag cars. Big Blue and Hot chocolate.

 

I walked up to a brand new Hot Wheels display today in a Acme grocery store where the vultures had just picked it clean. I wish I had my camera to take a picture of what they did. They stripped everyone of the hooks and just left them in a big pile on the lower shelf. They didn't want to thumb through the display.
5 or 6 years ago I watched a vulture pull up to a hot Wheels display with a shopping cart when the store opened and cleared the whole display in the cart and then went around the corner to rummage thru it while other vultures were showing up and then left it there.
I envy you guys who don't have that problem but it is always fun to watch the vultures fight over Hot Wheels. At our Target they took the display down for awhile because of that stuff.
2 grown men were whaling on each other for a toy in the toy department. I wonder what the kids were thinking if they say that.
Looks like I am going to have to get a job at Walmart so I can fight with the employees getting first dibs while they are still on the loading dock. Might have more success there.
I plan on going to go to the Canfield Swap Meet in a couple weeks but wont support that crap. I just walk by their tables and not let them see me drooling.

 

Found out about a small show today on Easter.

 

I like that I keep finding cool threads like this.

I’ll have to get a few shots of my collection. Nothing major, I don’t really pay attention to numbers or series or anything unless I see a set in store or something.

 

@Key-Rei look out for this one

 

A lot of the 55 gassers here.

 

$$$$$$$ for those Gassers. I guess I will just have to droll or make my own.
