    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.

    Trims are funny, besides luxury which is easy to tell since it has the two air suspension switches in the console and the chrome trim on the rear third window goes up the back of it where the others just end. At least on 460s. Bummer the PO went tint heavy. I wish I could clear glass this whole thing, but nothing I can do about factory tint.
    That Wolfbox is fancy but looks like it could be useful. Does yours have no backup camera stock? Is it a 470 or 460?
