For the next Chasing Die-Cast Cars I'd like to have sort of a hot list of cars people are looking for the most. What's the one you've been searching the pegs for? The Homer, maybe? The Civic EF in teal? Maybe the Ampicar?

For me, I am really trying to track down the Datsun 510 Bluebird wagon.

What is OPPO searching for?

both Mini rally cars

I need a 944! Guards Red if you can find it.

Also, a VW Type 3 Fastback.

I have my daily driver (sort of; the Evo version since there is no FWD Lancer models), but neither LeMons car. This makes coco sad.

They have never made an E36. But, matchbox made this for you :

<33333!!! Oh my gosh, it's even sort of like our color scheme!

The blue Evo 8/9 from the swamp rally series.

They made a Homer? I have the plastic snap-together one, but not a diecast. Let me guess, it's impossible to find and/or discontinued.

Also a Mazda 2. I think Tomica makes it though. I'll pay actual money if someone has one they wanna trade/sell.

not impossible or discontinued! In fact, it's a 2014 model. I got mine at the hot wheels kmart event in February.

My running list is as follows:

Exige, BMW 2002, 1m, classic mini, ford gt, Lancia stratos/anything, Datsun 510 coupe, porsche 993,"" '72 RS, original Skyline GTR, s2000, classic Celica, I wish they made a Golf R. There's some more but these are the ones I really want

wait what? how come I get all my hot wheels news from you? I had no Idea there was a teal Civic. but the Homer and Ecto-1 are my 2 most wanted at the moment.

I'm really really itching for a black Mercedes SL. They were done around 1990/1991. I've seen them on ebay, but that defeats the whole trading another car idea/social experiment/experience of this.

The SL500's are so close, and there are Oppos that have them, but I'm trying to hold out (and I'm just really picky) for the one I'm itching for.

Sweet! I'll start looking around then.

It came out this year. Difficult to find? Yes but not impossible. I made a reasonable trade with ciinubin for mine.

After I got mine, I keep seeing them whenever I go Hot Wheels hunting. I think someone on here actually has one on trade too. But if not I'm driving my drunkard friends to Walmart today (cause they want to "fuck shit up.") So while they're trying to get arrested for drinking under age, I'll be looking for Hot Wheels.

I'd like to get my hands on the new Cool Classics '67 Camaro and the 'Snoopy' for my kids.

Oh, red cars too... Model doesn't matter much to me. Red pops in front of the lens. ;-)

For me it's the red 60s rally Mini, I think it has a Monte Carlo look. Yeah. I wants it. Also another bmw 2002 that I can do something fun with, but mostly that Mini.

I have one for trade.

I really would like a 944 Turbo, and a 962.

Realistically, though, I'm looking for the Speed Machines white '98 911 GT1. I'd be much happier if it was a '96, but oh well.

I'd love to see this in HW:

BTW, many apologies to Jeff here, had a trade planned to find I already parted with the cars I had in mind; I will be looking for a Tesla.

Note for anyone else, all my trade cars are in the last three trade posts. Cars in the older trade posts are gone. I will be trying to update and have individual photos this weekend, if I can catch up on my sleep.

I have a Matchbox version from a few years ago. ... somewhere. Aya has the Tomica version with an actual opening hatchback. Pretty incredible.

I still have two Homers for people willing to trade.

I am looking for two different Hot Wheels Sandblasters still on their Hot Wheels card.

1. 2014 Sandblaster (Super Treasure Hunt) Notice the YELLOW cage in the back, the Rubber Tires, the Spectraflame paint and the TH on the rear body panel.

2. 2014 Sandblaster (Anodized Hunger aka Brown) KMART exclusive. With the uuuugliest light blue bumber bar.

1. Super Treasure Hunt

2. Anodized Hunger (Brown) KMART exclusive.

I'm still looking for the Snoopy, Jestsons and Homer Cars.

The Homer

Jetsons Capsule Car

A-Team Van

Lambo Sesto Elemento

Koenigsegg Agera R

LaFerrari

Ferrari F12Berlinetta

Porsche 993 GT2

Lambo Veneno

Nissan Skyline R34

Hakosuka

GT86

Supra

Civic EF

Color Changers 24-Seven and Evo X

All this has more to do with the bookstore underneath the cram school only restocking from the same few cases from late last year... and nonexistent luck.

I've got a yellow Ranchero, upside-down in the box if you're interested. I've never participated in the HWEP though so I'm not really how you guys usually do it.

as long as that is the HW 993 GT2 that you want, then email me at maclarenii at juno dot com..

Tyrrell p34 , kinda want a BMW 2002, Snoopy (I need 2, have 0), and do want the new paint scheme on the classic mini. Also, this (pictured) if'n I could find one for under 50 dollars...to bad, they are all over 100 :/ .. would be number 1 if it were somewhat affordable

They should be making one soon i here (E36)

For me, The Homer is #1, with the Mastretta MXR in second place.

I'm trying to get as many of the 2014's as I can, but my top 10 are as following:

- The Homer

- Mastretta MXR

- TV Series Batmobile

- Jetsons capsule car

- '14 Corvette Stingray

- Fiat 500

- Morris Mini

- '12 Camaro ZL1

- Dodge Challenger Drift Car (I can easily get this, but I keep getting caught up with other cars, I end up without enough money each time to get one.)

- Lamborghini Veneno (not sure if it's in stores yet)

11th place is the Transit Connect, but I know it's not out yet.

The Challenger Drift Car, Camaro ZL1, and Morris Mini might fall out of the top 10 as soon as Snoopy, the Porsche 934 Turbo RSR, and BMW M3 Race hit stores.

As for older models, the ones I'm most looking for are the old Haulers line. Specifically, the Good & Plenty, Tropicana, McDonald's Very Big Mac, and Milk Duds Haulers. Can be in or out of package, as long as they're in decent shape.

That car is QUITE popular. The RLC version sells for even bigger money than this one - the first 46 of those were autographed by the driver.

Right now I'm looking for the Mini Rally cars, Homer, a 918, an NSX concept, and if they are actually making the Snoopy thing I saw a few days ago, I'm definitely looking for that. Also I'm looking for the Ferris Bueller's Day Off Ferrari 250 GT California in the specially marked packaging.

Are you willing to ship to Malaysia, though? It's one of those things where the shipping costs are always several times the value of the item shipped...

Thanks, I appreciate the sentiment. There's the issue of shipping things to Malaysia, though :/

I have a short list of things I have to trade and things I need. The first sheet has some misc things I have to trade and some things I need. The second sheet has some 2013 I am willing to trade. I have other things that I might trade for the Sandblaster but I don't have them listed....aka....not up for trade on regular things but are up for trade on 'special' trades. Is there anything not on the list that you are looking for??? Maybe we can work something out.....

Google Doc Trade List

Take a look and let me know.

Happy Hunting.

Interesting! What do you want? Most of my HW's are in another state. I will have them soon. In package I have an e30 m3. I take everything else out. Out, I have a toyota 2000gt, Murcielago, diablos, C6's, Vipers, One 77, Cougar, Ferrari: marenello Race car and production, 355, Caddy Cien, Veyron, some mustangs and hotrods, and a roadrunner superbird I'm willing to trade in this state...
