[Corifto]

Paid $40 shipped or so for 24

i would have sold you 24 for .99 cents each since you would be picking them up locally

[Corifto]

I'll be buying more don't worry

Randy, do you have the HWs version or the Protecto-Pak brand like he got?

[Corifto]

I have now protected my $upers. Only grievance is that the clearance is so tight that I had to slightly push in the sides a bit, which may have softened one or two of the corners.

There's a particular method to using those packs. But they actually protect the corners better than any other pack, especially the Hot Wheels pack, which will curl the corners of a mainline card immediately.

Fortunately nothing in those mixes for me (except maybe the 930 depending on how they do it), so easy to skip!

Maybe I'll just have to try more methods with basic mainlines. I tried from the left, right, top, and bottom, but it always required a little help.

Same here, aside for maybe the 930 and the Toyota pickup.


I'm hoping to get the RLC regular membership next week. Really would like some good trade material. Goal this year is getting my hands on a $uper Datsun 510, $uper 240Z, and maybe the Boulevard 510. And maybe next year I'll aim for the unthinkable, the RLC cars.

For real. maybe the sp2 and the Toyota pickup for me.

[— Phatmiata —]

Pretty sure I have an extra Datsun 240 treasure hunt and maybe an extra super 240. I'll have to dig around in my closet to check. They are in weathertight hit cases under a pile of Legos and car parts.

[Corifto]

That'd be awesome.

Check out matchboxworld on Instagram....just posted a photo of the ND Matchbox Miata with a new set of wheels. Apparently they did a small run of the first old-school wheels before switching to the modern 5 spoke design. WOO WOO!

[—RotorNutFD3S—]

They've also confirmed that the first wheel design already shipped and they switched to these wheels mid-production. So there will be two wheel designs out for this car.
Happy hunting!
