2015 Recent Hot Wheels/MatchBox and other diecast cars

[—RotorNutFD3S—]

That sucks, I do not like people like that at all. There's a guy I randomly see at my local Walmart who earlier this year walked up to me out of the blue and told me that I might as well give up in this area because he has it on lockdown. I just walked away without saying anything but he hasn't beaten me to a case or bin yet, guess he expected me to just give up that easily. With the most recent bin he walked up just as another collector and I had finished going through it. The look on his face...

The other collector however is a very nice older gentleman, he comes in with a notebook/checklist and buys three of each car for his grandsons and I've helped him sort and find what he needs before. He's just a genuinely nice guy.

So, ran into one of those super obsessive collectors in Wal-Mart yesterday. What a "lovely" individual, used his family to block off the pegs and had an entire box of the mystery cars in his cart just so no one else could look through it until he had. When asked if I could look through them, he said no, that he was and to stay out of his "private cart."

A few more words were exchanged (over less than a minute) and I realized I needed to walk away before head hippo escalated things too far for his own good, and likely my own. I would've liked to have tried reason with him, but I was carrying and he quickly got more defensive and aggressive. It's just sad that he had reasoned what he was doing was acceptable behavior.

I couldn't have a greater distaste for such collectors at this point.

Just call the store from your cell phone and ask them for the security department because you just some a dude pocketing some goods in the toy section. Works every time.

A friend of mine surprised me with this loose RLC Cobra but I'm not a fan of Neo Classic wheels so I felt a Real Rider swap was in order. I used the 5-spokes because they remind me of a popular Mustang wheel so it was somewhat fitting and I used some redline tires because it's an RLC car. Also decided to "chrome" the rollbar.





Loading up for the show (finally found the Hitch & Tow yesterday):



And at home with some of my other favorites:

liked! If I have a moment tomorrow, I'll go to the last shop in the vicinity to see if there are any more speed machines left for you guys

Here is the latest haul from TRU.

They had a decent stock of new Matchbox but only one that I liked enough to grab was the Silverado.

The 5 packs were on sale for $3 so I decided it was worth it for the "Exotics" pack that I've contemplated buying numerous times. I especially like the VW and Lambo castings from this pack.

The HW Cool Classics Mustang was a no-brainer and of course, had to get a Monster Jam truck. This one has a rubber Mohawk!

I think it's legit. I know a couple were found with fronts or rears as PR5s. That's the first one I've seen with both front and rear.

Went to that store I mentioned yesterday and almosz left as there was just one speed machine hanging on the pegs... But then I had a look around and found this bin

What the heck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is the date on the back of the blister card? Are they remaking these or is this old stock? This series was discontinued in the USA from what I recall?

[—RotorNutFD3S—]

Yeah, this has to be some NOS.

[George]

Yup, 2012
