Hot Wheels

Ok.. anyone who follows this thread knows that I like fire trucks, cop cars, helicopters, tow trucks and square body Chevrolets. So, I guess this is my unicorn!

 

This weekends finds.

 

Haven’t seen that one yet, has you written all over it! I feel like matchbox has stepped up their game a little.

 

Package coming for you this week @Kilo Charlie

 

I see all sorts of things online or on Instagram... no clue this even existed. Nearly missed it as it was hanging on the pegs behind some other 5 pack. And yes.. it's like it was made for me!

Matchbox is celebrating 70 years and they really are coming out with some cool stuff

 

Awesome! Thank you!! I haven't come across anything ro send your way lately.

 

Being a vw collector there’s not too many I don’t have.

 

Wife sent me this she’s at the grocery store. Told her I would eat it but don’t think I would save it.

 

Solid ass finds this weekend and today:

 

Also got this beauty today, so now I have the 2 of this set that I wanted:



EDIT, they had the Starlet, the 22B, and the FC but i didnt feel the need to complete the set

 

Nice find on the Treasure Hunt too!

 

Thanks! Its my first TH. I had been looking for that one for a while and a good friend found it and the RTR mustang for me

 

It's been mentioned before about packaging and shipping these cars. Obviously, loose cars are different than carded ones but I wanted to share not only what I got from @williams63 today, but how meticulous he packaged them and what we can all learn.

First, THANK YOU!

This is after removing the security lid (Don't know where he got these boxes but they're amazing AF)

First layer:



Second layer:



The good stuff!! You can see how tightly but gently everything is packaged and 100% appreciated by me!



The loot:

 

Brother stopped by my place yesterday to drop off two sets of these.

 

That was fast! Think I dropped that off Thursday after work. Didn’t know if you collect cars for the different wheels or not but he had them both. Glad you like them.

 

That’s a nice set!!

 

Yes! They're all awesome and thank you again!

 

I love how the helicopter is a repurposed, repainted Blue Thunder.

 

They're all repurposed and repainted models haha but they're a welcome addition to my collection.
