Keeping it alive.
>YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE CARS! YOU IDIOT!!!!!! HOW DARE YOU LIE TO ME! THE GREAT ULTRON!!!!!!!
>ultron no!
Vrom vroom
Behold, a custom.
anyone buying the k-day cases from kmarts website?
>buy hot wheels fiat 500
>notice its a treasure hunt
>see heaps on pegs
>apparently it was a miss-printed card with the log printed on the car just without the circle on back quarter panel
You'd think they'd stop printing this shit somehow, least the backing via a running change, or is this laziness?
Oh well, its nifty
I customized this one's wheels, matchbox rims, maisto car.
Yesss, moooaaaar
I regret this thread, I accidentally destroyed the op car.
And now I can't find a replacement really.
i may have a new favorite scale
>>5507281
the same mold, it looked really good in the package but now i don't think it looks half as good
>>5507366
That's a great shot anon.
I love plain old sedans, there's something special about 'ordinary' cars being photographed.
>>5507374
Thanks
1/87
Nice shots folks! I love that the thread is catching on!
Na na na na na na na na nana!
>>5507290
Give it a clearcoat.
Anyone know if this is available in stores yet? All I want is that Rey car and I can't seem to find it on eBay

>>5511025
Give it sometime, I'm waiting on the set with the anakin jedi/sith car to go on clearance.
>>5511025
Does han's car have a wound underneath?
Yaar, thar be a mighty need fer a capn wrencher here.
>>5511091
>>5511091
Is that customed? I don't remember the Grease Rod having the black cannon.
>>5511095
yes, customized, all silver, cannon detailing, and even the gold back area has some detailing added.
and the gold on the black fenders.

Pic related.
>>5511635
Kinda disappointed they only did a couple cases of the Outlaw in black, the grey one looks a lot plainer and doesn't have the nicer looking wheels.
>>5511703
I only saw the black one.
Where can you find out about available colors? Good websites besides hotwheels.com?
>>5511727
Hot Wheels will usually put up pictures of the cars on their website long after they are out. I use hotwheelscollectors.com to get some decent looking images like a month in advanced, and a Brazilian website t-hunted.blogspot.com since they cover images pretty well but it's all in Portuguese.
is there a BvS batmobile with the '66 paintjob? I think it'd look sweet as hell with a glossy black and red pin striping job.
>tfw your favorite hot wheels is actually a matchbox car
Any info on the new Hot Wheels?
I saw a Minecraft Cart, I think another Batmobile and possible reissue of Ecto-1?
>>5514234
The 66 Batmobile is going to be the Super Treasure Hunt of the J case, which got an early release in Asia. I think there's going to be various releases of Batman vehicles in a 1:50 scale, and the Ecto-1 from the first Ghostbusters is part of the much nicer Pop Culture series.
>>5514320
There's tons of the larger Batman stuff around here, except the one I want which is of course the TV Series Batmobile.
>>5514192
>tfw all the matchbox cars you see are boring trucks and fantasy suvs.
Fucking hell I miss the sporty match box cars...
Bimp.
If you are psychotically compelled to inventory your cars, there are a couple of sites I ran across over the weekend...
This is a list of pretty much every Hot Wheels car ever made: http://www.southtexasdiecast.com/casting-overview/
Pick a car and it links to a site called hobbydb that shows every variation of that car that has been logged by users on the site. If it's not there you can add it. Members can log collections and buy and sell stuff. You can search for JL and Matchbox cars on there as well.
They also made an announcement earlier this year that the regular Yellow Submarine will be part of the Screentime set in the 2016 mainline.
>>5507366
I've got the same tomica!
rear shot
>>5530225
Cool! Have some CRX
>>5517209
i miss the trucks and weird shit too,
I like the unusual stuff, pic relate, one of my recent buys
I used to collect cars from 1/64 up to 1/18 scale when I was a kid.
I saw these in a souvenir shop when I was on holiday in Spain last year, bought them out of nostalgia, I always liked police cars and 'normal' looking cars in general.
Why do most cars look like complete shit nowadays?
Every time I see a Nissan Juke I want to projectile vomit.
>>5531398
is this a tomica? do you guys buy them from amiami? what's shipping like with them? How many can you order and have ems be like $10-15?
Old sedans are the best.
Although saying that, my all time favourite cars are late 60's-70's American muscle.
Plymouth, Oldsmobile, Ford, Dodge, Pontiac, all that good stuff.
Found only one of these left - the LM002. Diecast in my area is fucking impossible to find.
I've really started digging the Star Wars character cars. Picked up R2 today!
Was originally planning to get the C-3PO/R2-D2 two pack, but the weathering on R2 in that pack (which looked fine from the promo pics) looked terrible to me in-person.
>>5539888
Cute lil bugger! Hopefully I can find a single-card C-3PO next.
Picked up the new Batmobile tonight..... What the hell Hot Wheels!?!? There's no way these things are the same scale that they used to be.
>>5540371
It is fuckwit, the new batmobile is the size of a sports car, not a fucking landboat of the 60's.
>>5540483
So the new Batmobile is the size of a Mini Cooper?
>>5540498
eh, maybe a little longer, but not much longer.
>>5540498
>tfw it is literally impossible for me to find the BttF DeLorean with normal wheels
>every fucking store only has hover mode one
I wasn't even toy shopping, found this behind corn flakes at Wal Mart.
Came packaged back in the day with lupin the 3rd dvds
>>5541378
>>5541441
>>5539247
Yes the white one is a tomica and the blue one is a kyosho
I buy them on eBay for about 20-25 shipped from Japan.
where is farmer fourchan? :c
>>5540498
That delorean is too big, it should be around the size of the batmobile next to a freaking hearse!
>>5497451
The logo on the car isn't a t-hunt logo. No circle around the flame plus the flame is subtly different.
>>5503807
What line is this from??
>>5517209
They're still around. The sporty cars just sell out FAST. Actually, does Matchbox distribution suck for anyone else? Around here, Target got rid of single packs, and Wal-Mart is full of empty pegs. Toys R Us seems to be getting new stuff in regularly, but seems to sell out fast as hell probably because of the aforementioned shortages at Wal-Mart and Target. The only other decent place for Matchbox around here is a local drug store chain but they're mostly older cars.
I used to really like xmods, it's a shame they disappeared.
i miss johnny lightning and old matchbox cars. i prefer hyper-realistic 1:64 over the exaggerated style of hot wheels
>>5544607
its from one of those Furata Choco Egg lines.
you can find some on ebay but there are very few sellers who have them but there are some skylines to be found on ebay that ive seen
>>5540371
>>5540498
These are the "premium" batman range, they're 1/50 scale.
Bigger than a normal hotwheels...well not sure about the 80's one, there is a premium one in the same box as >>5541194
I have the set on pre-order via amiami because local stores supplies are fucked, who PUNCHES them on the pegs?
It sure ain't kids that's for sure.
But pretty much all regular line hotwheels are scaled to work on their tracks, its like the tomica sets, differing scales but generally the same size as a result.
So unless you can elaborate if that 80's batmobile is from the premium is standard line I'm only speculating
Did I do good?
I didn't know super treasure hunts came on short cards.
Also I'm sick to death of these riprods, second I buy one next day every shop has least 5-6 pegs of them.
I just want that corvette grandsport...because its actually decent and not like this plastic shit
Got an OT Stormtrooper car! I wish they'd done more with the hood, it's a little flat and plain, but it's still cool and looks great with the FO trooper car.
>>5541194
Nice! I luckily stumbled on the 1989 Batmobile, which I highly recommend if you spy it. It's such a dust magnet though, haha.
>>5546977
I've never actually found a Super T-Hunt. Ever.
I think the Rip Rod's a cool mold though.
>>5548219
>I've never actually found a Super T-Hunt. Ever.
Me neither.
>>5491459
>>5491460
Since I damaged this one, I got a replacement, and made a before and after version.
1/5
>>5550362
2/5 (before)
>>5550366
3/5 (after)
>>5550368
4/5 (before)
>>5550372
5/5 (after)
>>5548219
I thought the riprod was cool at first, but when I saw the previous versions and then realized most of the shell is plastic I only ended up keeping it because of my treasure hunt collection/autism
>>5548219
I was just SUPER lucky that day, I bought a super for $10 off ebay for shits and giggles thinking I'd never find a decent one and not only did I find a decent one, its also a car I liked to begin with.
Now when I walk past hotwheels sections I go full blown autism, I found that thing in a super market, in a friggin hotwheels retail box (as in retail space box not a fresh case), just tossed in there.
If a store that only has enough space for 25 cars can have a super imagine a department store with 20 pegs for 5 cars each, drives you made even though its pretty much the lottery
>>5547313
what store did you find the keaton-mobile? and does the cockpit open?
Anybody have M2 cars, just bought my first. It's really nice for $6 and I comes with 4 sets of rims and tires
I still don't even understand supers and why anyone gives a shit. isn't it just different tires?
It takes a little moding to get the rims on the axels. Ony the axles on the car in the box are knurled. But that's a small price, def going to get the 57 fairlane next.
>>5551944
T hunts are just tires, super thunts are a different paintjob and wheels in addition to the rubber tires
>>5550694
Found it at Target, and yeah, the cockpit opens! Pretty nicely detailed in there too (sorry for the lack of interior shot, I tried but my camera just wasn't picking it up). Has rubber wheels as well!
>>5550372
>>5550375
That's quite the transformation! Nice work! How'd the car get so mangled in the first place, though?
Anyone know where to find Micro Machines and knockoff variants? Even if it's not for purchase, I wouldn't mind taking a look at some of the older cars/playsets.
I distinctly remember seeing my little cousin with a town playset and a bunch of first responders and construction vehicles, and the dump truck even had little plastic balls for dirt. Not sure of the brand though.
>>5552385
First damage was the windshield was bent because I accidentally stepped on it after dropping it, the rest was done with a pair of pliers and a knife to tear off the windows,then some black sharpie rubbed on and off to add "dirt" to it , they are two distinct cars fyi, the chrome one is one deco and the blue is another I bought to replace the now "totaled" chrome one.
found this today. someone already grabbed the "vacation" car from this wave. i never keep shit MOC but i think this one is staying that way. love the logo
>>5551843
I'm a newb to collecting cars. What store carries this and what line is it from? Doesn't look bad for $6.
>>5541441
>>5554080
I got it at meijer. It's a great lakes super store. They are at walmart, but not the ones with swapable wheels.
>>5552385
Got mine at walmart today, they had a lot, also Batman forever batmobile.
>>5552385
There is a more detail but I'd need a macro lens to pick it up.
>>5555503
Comparison with tumbler
>>5522702
Anyone got a pic of the Yellow Submarine?
my oldest, from 1960ish.
>>5556147
There's something lovely about how worn that is, yet it's still in one piece. I like it!
>>5511089
kek underrated
>>5551946
got the fairlane. $4 at target. there ere other versions one for $5 that came with 4 sets of wheels and tires, and another for $6 that had opening doors and hood, but this was the only one with factory paint.
comparison with the super bee. i always liked the fairlane because its a very simple design, so next to a super bee this model looks less detailed, but my camera just can't pick up the subtlety.
there was a yellow gto judge that looked great, might be my next.
Here's a little guy
>>5552610
Oh geez, I totally thought they were the same car haha. Still, the totaled one looks cool!
>>5555163
>>5555513
My Target re-stocked with some of the larger Batman vehicles today, and while most were stuff I'd seen before, I was surprised to see the Batman v. Superman Batmobile is part of the line up now too!
A very cool design, but it was colored a shade of grey that I felt looked too light, was much lighter than the grey they used for the 1:64 BvS Hot Wheel.
>>5569293
>Batman v Superman
The same scale as the Nolan and Burton batmobiles?
I really liked ke these m2 cars
>>5569380
Yeah, the 7.99 ones. It was tempting, but I ended up getting some Star Wars figures instead, haha.
>>5569409
Awesome, I already have 2 Lego versions and the $1 hotwheel. I've been wanting the Batman forever version, but def want BvS.
I need a few more pieces to make pic related.
Here's my DB10 in front of the 1:1.
>>5569293
it is to lightly colored, the whole design looks like it was rushed into production.
i still really like it though, it looks like the offspring of Keaton's and Bale's batmobiles.
Small part of my HW collection
>>5554049
There's a Jeep from Clueless as well in that wave. What a weird one.
>>5554049
>vacation car
The family truckster?! If so, holy shit.
>>5572866
Yep
Part of my collection, this is the hotwheels portion
