Hot Wheels

My haul from today totally made up for not finding anything all weekend!

 

I really wanted to buy the wagons, but thought the flares looked too goofy and unrealistic so I passed. Still debating though

 

Snagged these today:

 

Ive seen them on muscle cars. Dunno if i like the look either. I was never a big fan of lots of spoilers

 

Not my normal buy either, that door prize one of you guys posted a bit back tipped me over. First Kaido House I have bought.
Really nice detail, turns out this one was a chase car... with that brushed finnish, score for $15!

 

Anyone have any tips on flattening this card out? One of many buses in the tubs. This one is not cheap. The card is not bent or creased but curled or curved from the way it sat in a box for who knows how long.

 

Perhaps a semi humid environment and a weight?

Zero experience

 

An iron does both those things

but it might do too much of each lol

I have weight on it now. Normally don’t care about the card. I would keep it all but it’s just to much. I don’t really have enough room for what I have and this is at least 15 tubs, 2 wall cases and a large glass cabinet that is full also.

 

One of the shelves in that glass cabinet.

 

Few more

 

For the ones that are dusty, a can of compressed air like they use on computer keyboards and such should remove a lot of that.

That bent cards should be able to be flattened again if there's no creases etc.

I'm sure you've thought of it already but your monthly trade show should be a great opportunity to sell or trade for other things you may want. You've got the upper hand it seems.

It's going to be some work on your end but I think you'll come out on top and still maintain an amazing collection for yourself. I think it's awesome they thought of you vs just tossing all of that in a dumpster!

 

Time to create a museum lol

 

Stopped at Wally Mart last night while visiting daughter...got some cool cars especially the white braille ones. They were $1.18 each...are the prices going down? I know HEB has them for $1.08 and Dollar G has the at $1.25. I miss the 96 cents days.

Display sort of full...


What I brought...

 

Walmart has been $1.18 for a while now.

 

Nice collection, I literally just found this thread but I've been collecting since I was a teenager. Mostly VW/Audi but I branched out to exotics and other euro cars as well. I've been having shit luck finding much of anything this past year and even this year. Walmarts around me are constantly cleaned out, had my best luck finding them at grocery stores lately.

 

I guess I've been buying from so many different places I stopped looking at prices lately. Now the Walmart Maisto Adventure Force cars are 97 cents.

 

Walmart near me hasn’t had anything in awhile but last time I bought a car I’m pretty sure it was 97 cents.

 

Bout the same here
