    Wow, that one's beautiful!

    I remember the purple banded hot wheels boxes the old dudes would always come in for, normally on Friday or Saturday mornings when I used to work at Toys R Us.

    At the time, Hot Wheels was putting out unpainted vehicles that were immediately selling for +$10 each if you got some.

    I never did want to get into it, and I know some of the Hot Wheels my mom has kept for me over the years could've been worth a lot (if not played with).

    Now with my kid being +2, I buy him a Hot Wheels every time we leave the house. I even went to one store that sells the harder-to-find variants and got him a few - I can still remember the dude that cringed when I opened one of the cars and gave it to my kid :rofl:

    I opened the remaining 3-4 once we got home cause in the end, it's still a toy for him to play with.

    I did buy myself a Toyota trophy truck though but only cause it looked cool, not that it'd be worth anything really.

    Yeah I'm the same, I don't want them in a box haha. I only have a few, minus the ones from when I was a kid that are somewhere at my parents place. But its more fun setting them out places then keeping them all packaged! I never got heavy into comics but that always bugged me the same way, take them out and read them!
    Also RIP Toys R Us

    Yeah some certainly miss the mark. That BTTF sold out fast, after I checked out I refreshed the page and they were gone. I had to wait 5 minutes with it in my cart before I could check out, so the whole run went in under say 7 minutes, which is nuts.

    Everything but the driveshaft. B03A - 410
    I haven't tried to figure it out the option packages yet. All I know is this one, from what I can tell, did not have air ride. The windows have been tinted dark and it has a shade over the sun visor area.
    The windows are dark enough to get me a ticket in Jersey. <-- Been there and lived it.

    I'm going to slap some Bilstein 5100 on the rear for now. The cost was $230. I want some Dobinsons MRR. But with everything I'm doing to is I can wait on that one until next year. One luxury item that can be helpful driving in Colorado is a WolfBox camera for the front bumper. They have a model with a rear camera also. I think my daughter may get the most practical use from a rear camera addition.

    Mounting the iPad in front of the AC vents has been a huge improvement. The iPad would overheat and lock up after an hour of use. Now it can make it through an all day trip.
