The Matchbox Superfasts are from a collectible show last weekend, I traded my brother some Treasure Hunts for the Turbo Coupe, the Hot Wheels are from Walmart, and the Auto World and Greenlight are from Toys R Us.

The Auto World seems to be a new brand but I like this Dart alot. It and the Greenlight GTX are serious #mebait.

You get those (the AW and Greenlight along with the Hot Wheels) today? If so, glad to see your hunt payed off as well.

I made out better than I thought today, although I didn't get to Walmart or Toys R Us (gonna try sometime this week).

Yep, all of those are from today. I didn't find the Dart I wanted, but the hunt was successful otherwise.

That's awesome.

I ended up getting a 2003 First Editions Hot Wheels GM Autonomy concept with an apparent wheel error, the right front wheel is bare plastic, no chrome finish.

I heard wheel error models are pretty valuable. I got mine for about $2 (all the cars were 50% off.). Spent under $14, got 9 cars (would have payed nearly $28 if charged normal price). All in all, a pretty good day.

I used to have that ford matchbox as a youth. I remember it was one of the few I had with stickers on it.

Matxhbox, from when they were still as good as HW.

Ah, it didn't quite look like HW. They used to be really cool, but took a bit of a turn for the worse. On a sidenote, the Thunderbird TC is incredibly underrated.

Oh man......I gotta get my mid 60's Matchboxes (and matching original boxes) out and take some pics for you guys.

Please do! I have some play worn Lesney Matchbox cars from the 60s. These were 77, 78, and 79, but I always like these Superfasts. I have a Pantera from 77 as well.

Because it carries the T-Bird name. I loved the last 3 generations.

They're the only disappointing part of the car, but they're in mint condition so I can't complain.

Any pics? Wheel errors and errors in general can be worth more but it depends on the car and error as well.

Yep, here it is. Took me a sec to get the pic right.

As you can see, the front wheel lacks the chrome finish that the rear wheel has.

Holy Escort Batman! my neighbor growing up was a true ford fan when these came out he bought 2 brand new ones 1 for him and he liked it so much that a week later he bought one for his wife.

seeing this brings back memories

Nice. I have two of those Escorts (one in played-with condition and one pristine) and two of the 928s (one blue, one gold). The Escort was my favorite when I was little. No idea why, exactly...

One of these days I'll get around to getting some pics of my collection. I think the oldest is my 67 galaxie police car or the Hot Wheels GT40 mkIV from the first year.
