Actually kind of hard to find in my area. This mix contains (other than the Godzilla Nissan) the one I’ve been looking forward to all year, The Mercury Comet Cyclone. I also like the VW ID Buzz. One I would recommend picking up. Edited October 23, 2023 by Robot Man Shazbot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post comicginger1789 Posted October 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2023 So out of pure nostalgia, I buy a hotwheel every now and then. I have no clue what I’m doing but I go for cars I like (usually muscle cars, especially ones with more metal than plastic). Well this was at the grocery store and I grabbed it, thinking nothing of it. But for funsies I googled it when I got home and was floored!

Terry JSA Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Besides comic books, I like cars. So in other words, I collect Hot Wheels. AbsoluteCarnage, ADAMANTIUM and crazyhips 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Some real nice ones there! As I have said, I don’t really “collect” these. I buy them for my adult daughter who does. I do enjoy the “hunt” though. That being said, I do occasionally pick up some for myself. Best of the year for me. Had to grab this Mercury Cyclone Gasser. So bad arze and you never see cars like this anymore. Classic American muscle! Beatles Yellow Submarine. I mean how classic is this. Now that these are off the pegs, it has great “potential”. Not really for Hot Wheel collectors but for Beatle collectors. Grab a few if you run into them. And finally, the one I wanted the most. The Godzilla Nissan Skyline GTR. They were VERY hot. Apparently, one of the beasts of Japanese engineering. I could care less about “rice burners” but it is GODZILLA! King of the monsters! Again, great potential to collectors of him and monster stuff in general. By the way, Barbie collectors are gladly paying $10-15 gladly for the pink Corvette currently. And there are a lot of Barbie collectors out there… Edited November 14, 2023 by Robot Man ADAMANTIUM, The humble Watcher lurking and AbsoluteCarnage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, one of the beasts of Japanese engineering. It is! The R32 GT-R dominated the Australian Bathurst Racing Series, winning every race it entered into. Which is how it earned the nickname Godzilla. Plus the RB26 can easily push 600+ HP with minimal mods. I could go on about this car all day, but I’ll just leave it at that.

Robot Man Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 Fun, unexpected grocery store score this morning. Went shopping early and the nice lady was stocking the pegs. Was a little older case N that I had missed most of. No Super TH but 3 regular THs. Got the last regular TH I needed for this years set. Took one for my daughter and one for me. I left one buried for the next hunter. ADAMANTIUM and The humble Watcher lurking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here on both counts. I remember admiring the Matchbox displays at local variety and hardware stores during my formative comic buying years but I was sixteen and in eleventh grade when Hot Wheels were introduced. Therefore it's the Matchboxes such as the ones in the numbered boxes I've pictured that I might eventually more actively collect: Edited April 13 by Hepcat The humble Watcher lurking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
