HWEP: My Fiancée Has Taken My Money Away

So my son and I went die-cast shopping and were "perhaps" a bit fiscally irresponsible with our funds yesterday. He is going through a phase where he wants the weirdest cars they sell. He picked up the "Hammer Down" - car that looks like a Hammerhead shark, "Sky Knife"- an actually kind of interesting helicopter/race car combo, something that looks like a black dragon with fluorescent green wings called "Dragon Blaster", and a Hot Wheels Mutant Machine called "Flexforce" ....

I went the other way and grabbed some Cool Classics (my favorite HW line right now) and a trio that are for trade. I have two of the Shelbys, the other 1967 Shelby GT is a purple color with red flames and out of the package (I don't have any particular attachment to either, just that they're both awesome). The CRX was un-expected but really cool!

'70 Chevy Chevelle

and

Hot Wheels "Flying Customs" Volkswagen Baja Bug

Cool Classics: '70 Mustang Mach I

and

Dodge Tomahawk

(Just randomly came across this, looks like it's from 2011(?), packaging is pretty beat up.)

HW Road Trippin' State Route 375 '49 Drag Merc

This Road Trippin' line is apparently pretty popular as in the morning I had been to the store and seen a couple racks full of them, when I went back later that day they were almost all gone. Just decimated. I wasn't particularly impressed with them, but the Mercury was cool enough to grab.

Both of these Mastretta MXRs are for trade.

TV Batmobile

BMW K 1300 R

Alfa 8C

2013 SRT Viper

13 Mustang GT

Dodge Ram 1500

The haul doesn't look so bad (or excessive) to me, but when my fiancée found out the total and asked what else we had bought, I told her a box of frozen waffles (it was a big box! There were twenty waffles in it!), she was a little, well, miffed.

Anyway, I'm now banned from purchasing anything for a week....but I'm not banned from trading!

Here's pretty much everything else I have for trade

My want list:

USS Vengeance

Datsun 510 Wagon

And cars from the following manufacturers:

BMW: especially sedans and wagons

Jaguar: especially modern models

MINI: especially the Clubman

Mazda: everything but the RX7

Saab: if such a thing exists

Volkswagen

I really like production cars that don't cost a fortune. So I'm much more likely to trade for a Mazda2 than a Lamborghini. I prefer European cars over American classics. I also dig older casts (even if a bit beat up) if you have them.

I like all die-casts (not just Hot Wheels) and I really dig models from Tomica, Majorette, and other non-mainstream manufacturers.

Thanks for checking them out!

yes. is the crx a keeper,as well? The only one i don't have anymore is the gt2. I'm down one 2000gt, But I still have one extra. Got a new stash the other day, but have been working to much to check with the master list. May go look at cars tomorrow as well.

The TTS is a speed machine, tesla a regular hw.

Black Mazda Furai for the Ram? It would be open since it came in a 5 pack.

Wait?What?this exist??? would it be possible to take a picture of just this so I can see what the packaging looks like so I can hunt for it?

Kinja'd!!!

Here you go!

Sadly I already have that one, too.

Sasquatch > hethoughtofcars

I have the white one if you want it has been chewed on by a toddler.

hethoughtofcars > Sasquatch
04/06/2014 at 15:51

Lol, no thanks. I don't think that's really that awesome of car, in any case. I much more prefer production models....so if you had a white Mazda5 chewed on by a toddler I'd be more likely to trade. :)

Yeah, I actually have the TTS in orange. I'm definitely interested in the Tesla. The CRX is up for trade (everything I posted here is), but like the Mach I it is a Cool Classics, so it was pricier than a standard HW.

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > hethoughtofcars
04/06/2014 at 17:18

sweet thanks!

hethoughtofcars > Luc - The Acadian Oppo
04/06/2014 at 18:14

It's certainly up for trade, in case you can't locate it. :)

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > hethoughtofcars
04/06/2014 at 18:19

good to know but the package is in rough shape for my liking. I'm picky I know.

hethoughtofcars > Luc - The Acadian Oppo
04/06/2014 at 18:20

Understood. Good luck!

SteyrTMP > hethoughtofcars

Well, I just got another 15-20 cars, I'm going to try to update my trade list.

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > hethoughtofcars
04/09/2014 at 15:45

Looking at this I would be interested in the Blue viper,the Mastretta & TV batmobile and I'm still interested in the flintmobile.

Take another look at what I got and lets see if we can't make this worth our wild.

hethoughtofcars > Luc - The Acadian Oppo
04/09/2014 at 16:33

Let's see, I have interest in:

VehiCross, Toyota Supra, VW Rabbit, Goodyear blimp, maybe the Aurora police car and/or the '39 Cadillac

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > hethoughtofcars
04/09/2014 at 16:50

That's a tuffy you are asking for the really hard to find ones to replace some that I could probably find if I looked hard enough. The old cars are harder to find.

I would be looking more along the lines of the current hot wheels.

which supra are you wanting? The falken supra I can trade but not the the fast & furious. and the Blimp you can have also.

the rabbit I would trade but it would have to be for the CRX (the flying customs are more expensive)

hethoughtofcars > Luc - The Acadian Oppo
04/09/2014 at 17:01

Well, we are getting closer. :) I was interested in the Fast & Furious version, so that one is out.

The CRX can be traded.

So far we have:

to you: Flintmobile, tv series Batmobile, MXR, CRX, SRT Viper

to me: e92 M3, blimp, VW Rabbit

Can you toss in another car to even it out?

EDIT: Oh, and the Dodge Tomahawk, of course.

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > hethoughtofcars
04/09/2014 at 17:11

nah you need to pick at least 2-3 more cars from me to be fair. I don't feel right getting 6 cars from you and only giving you 3. keep looking we'll come to a fair trade eventually.

hethoughtofcars > Luc - The Acadian Oppo
04/09/2014 at 17:37

993 GT2, Toyota AE-86 Corolla (Trueno), and orange 2002?

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > hethoughtofcars
04/09/2014 at 17:43

993 GT2 YES, AE-86 you can have the silver but not the white/black, orange 2002 NO. you can have another color 2002 if you like but not the race livery one.

hethoughtofcars > Luc - The Acadian Oppo
04/09/2014 at 17:57

Ok, how about 993 and VehiCross?

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > hethoughtofcars
04/09/2014 at 18:07

You really like that VehiCross don't you? By the sounds of it you want it more than me. so I guess we can make that happen.

quick recap:

from you: CRX, MXR, Flintmobile, TV Batmobile, SRT Viper & Tomahawk(in blue pack not red).

for E92 M3, Goodyear Blimp , VW Rabbit , 993 GT2 & Vehicross?

hethoughtofcars > Luc - The Acadian Oppo
04/09/2014 at 18:10

Deal!

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > hethoughtofcars
04/09/2014 at 18:11

Perfect. Does it matter to you if the GT2 is a Short card?

hethoughtofcars > Luc - The Acadian Oppo
04/09/2014 at 18:15

Not at all.

Luc - The Acadian Oppo > hethoughtofcars
04/09/2014 at 18:17

Perfect! I will send this out either tonight or tomorrow.

pleasure doing business with you.
