Styrene.  I can make a starting gate and then a finish line.  With all that plus all the other supplies and some straight track line.  Old supplies from making custom GI Joe bases.  I can even make high walls for the start with springs for a fair start.  I have some ideas.

Will have to keep my eyes open down here. Yours could be a Dollar Store “exclusive”. Don’t have any of those around here. 

I thought it was cool because white with flames.  Majority of my characters I like is like Storm Shadow, Moon Knight, white Boba Fett and so on.  That Japanese car set with the white suburu wrx sti is cool.  I just want one Wrx STI and prefer blue with the rally logos.

Be careful. They have produced quite a few Batman cars in the last year or so. Never seen that one. 

This is back.  $1.50 cdn at dollar store.

Which one?

Went to the local comic store and looked at some redlines but nothing I had when I was a kid was there.  Went to clearance section and found these.  Now I have some Batmobiles to race once I get some straight track.  Hope they make a Moon Knight car.

Oh Oh!

Nice grab! Mattel is one VERY smart company. These are generally priced at $1. And the racks are generally close to the cash register. Perfect impulse buys. Hard not to grab a couple. They also come out with a new mix every month to keep collectors coming back. Bonuses like Treasure Hunts and exclusive cars appeal to the addiction of the hunt. They market vehicles to all audiences. They have the collector’s market down to a science. The Hot Wheels folks in my area are like hungry dogs…

I was actually watching some youtube videos on hot wheels that week and this guy goes to like all the dollar stores and such and gets them to open boxes and he goes thru the ones on the shelf.  Seemed it was only specific chase ones he was searching for.  I have no idea if mine was an actual chase but it was the only one out of 100's of them and it was numbered differently so I grabbed it.  Total impulse buy since I was there for tea towels and gravy lol.

I had quite a few hot wheels when I was a kid with track and the gas station and such.  No idea where they are.  I was at the dollar store and saw this and grabbed it.  Its my only Hot Wheel.

Tried contacting some of the guys on the back of the book but no replies to try and find out print count.

Does anyone know who the ashcan expert is on the boards?

 that is just so cool! 

Yep very cool!

does it all transform at the push of a button still? or is the trailer separate somehow?

Probably separate...

You buy it separate but Optimus can drive around with it and it transforms not just trailor but upright to a base.  Also control the buggy with your phone app.

Every time I see larger than life transformers, it reminds me when Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes pimped out for the automated Optimus prime. It transformed on its own and said roll out. I want to say that it had other catch phrases too.

I almost, almost got one, but I sure thought it was cool 🆒

They releasing a trailor for it as well.

Seems this is a year of some pretty cool things coming out.  The lego transformer is pretty cool , centurions, some of the new joes and transformers.  Its going to be a good year!

My only issue is some of these prices going on they ain't cheap.  I am actually impressed with the tmnt line since the pricing in my mind is good.  The super 7 though feel way over priced.  Also as mentioned the ouch factor on that centurion set.  Regardless some pretty cool stuff.

Yeah it is sadly :(...  I still needed to have them lol.  I found out about this too late.. They may have had an early bird discounted price like they currently have right now for Mon-Star.

Yeah I just want to get one.  I never see them at toy shows.  A figure with sea bat or hornet would be cool.

As for MASK I have my flying green bike lol.

Wow that pretty pricey. 269 usd.  my god

Check out their website for pre-orders: https://ramentoy.com/

They will also be producing Hacker in both toon colors or the original figure colors as well as John Thunder and the Land Drones.  Also, they have MASK as their next projected toyline to re-make starting with Shark and Gloria Baker 

Thanks.

I pre-ordered this from Ramen Toys.  Can't wait to get this in end of the month or sometime next month.  The Centurions toyline were my favorites toys as a kid. I still have some of the originals, but I can't wait to add these into my collection 

Also pre-ordered Silverhawks Quicksilver.  Looks much better than the Super7 version in my opinion.

How much was the centurions? I only had one as a kid with no gear I found somewhere.  Always wanted a complete one for my collection.  If that reasonable price might fill the hole like the tmnt I got.

I would have sent them a pic of the back of the lego tiger.

Here is some A-Team stuff.  Think its all A-team.  Regardless its all stored in the A-Team bag.

I'm way out of the market, but last I checked, the Ratchet reissue (if you don't mind that) was going for reasonable prices, and even the original isn't very expensive. You may just pay a bit more if you care about the Red Cross logo being present on top of the van or not. 

Yeah I am not to worried about Rachet.  I didn't find him too exciting.  I remember using his stand from him and using it as a GI Joe sentry point and shooting missiles at cobras.

Here is a bunch of oddball items as I am collecting GI Joe lots and you find oddball items in there lol.

The ambulance could be either Ratchet or First Aid. If it's tiny and from much later, it's Fixit. 

It was Rachet, the white one.  I didn't have many.  I had Sideswipe which was my first transformer then I got Mirage.   Then I had a few small ones and Rachet.  I wasn't very huge on robots and more of a Joe and lego person.  Probably why I had way more gobots since they where cheaper.  

I really wish I had my child hood toys back.   Had so much GI Joe, few bots and an assortment of other stuff as well.  Just to list some of the stuff I wish I had back.

-lone ranger fort set

-tons of lego and really wish I had my lego castle back.  The big yellow one.  Had a lot of space lego as well and like 2-3 sets of lego mechanics back then.

-A-Team

-Dukes of hazard

-Hot wheels gas station and all my cars

Just some to list.  Some of that stuff may even be with my adoptive parents but its been 20 years since we last talked and I have no clue where they even live.

Here is my beat up gone thru hell Transformers and Gobots.  None of them are complete.  Don't have many and none from childhood but collected here and there.  Did have some triple changers but I traded those for GI Joes.  My goal with these is I want to get the Gobot Psyhco back since that was my favourite Gobot.  My first transformer I got as a kid was Sideswipe  and then I had the ambulance and a few others.  I actually had more gobots than transformers.  I had the base as well that rolled had legs and then turned into that standing base.  My goal though is Psycho, devastator, sideswipe and soundwave and that pretty much all I want for transformers.  Soundwave is my fav.  Eventually I worry about them since 1982 - 1989 for GI Joe is pretty much my priority.
