Just got back from vacation, and one of things I like to do when I visit different cities is check out their hot wheels offerings since they usually are a little different from city to city and region to region. Plus some may be more popular in one area and harder to find but less popular and easier to find in others. I have been casually buying them here and there for a few years, but have really ramped up lately for some reason. almost doubling the collection in the last few months. Probably all the HW talk on Oppo. Do you think they are seeing a noticeable increase in sales due to Oppo interest? I know there has been a lot of Oppos that have gotten back into the hobby since talking about it here, but maybe it is such a small percentage of their sales they don't notice.

Picked up these guys over New York City (Toys R Us, FAO Schwarz, and a supermarket in Hoboken with a surprising great selection, it's where I got the Porsche 917 - all metal and the rear engine cover opens).

This was an Ebay auction I won for a collection of MOAPR cars: 38 in total, with only 3 repeats and 1 I already had. Check out all those Superbirds! That's alotta wing!

Another eBay auction, with a few race cars:

These are the cars I have up for trade, some eBAY and the others from my previous collection that I just got around to organizing:

Anybody interested in any of these?

Very interested in any of the 1970 Roadrunners you have there.

I've got the green one in the last picture plus the black convertible next to it is a "King Kuda". Everything in the last 2 pictures is up for trade, but if you wanted one of the other roadrunners also especially the "hot rod" ones in front of the stock ones and had something to trade I could let them go, the are all different colors of the same car, I just happen to have 2 greens and 2 black convertibles, so those were put on the trade block.

I mainly like race cars, sports cars, super/hyper cars and the like. Plus pretty much anything vintage and muscle car. Have anything like that to trade?

Awesome Mopar collection!!! Those look cool with all the colors.

I am interested in the Daytona coupe, is there anything you would want for trade? Specific genre, make, model, ect.? I have plenty of cars to chose from!

Also, I definitely think Oppo has helped with Mattel's sales lately lol

This ACR to go with my all black one, what do you want?

Thanks! I usually only like to get one version of a car in only one color (just to keep the collection manageable), but there is something about the Mopars that they look so cool together in the different color variants.

The only thing I am looking for specifically right now is a Mars Lander, but really anything race car, sports car, super/hyper car, vintage, and muscle car interests me if I don't already have it. Anything you have been looking to part with?

HW is huge on Oppo, but what about die cast? I have quite a few NASCAR die cast (mostly 1:24 scale) that I wouldn't mind parting with.

I'd like to find that Sesto Elemento!

I'll have to go through my collection and see what I'd be willing to part with. This is a good excuse to pull them out of storage.

That's one of those cars that I never see by me but when I went to a different city they had like 10 on the shelf. Got that one at Toys R Us in Times Square if that is any help.

I'm in Edmonton Alberta but I will keep hunting! the yellow viper is also on my list of many wants!

I know there are a few people that are into die cast as well, maybe make a post with what you want to trade? I'm not really into the 1:24, mainly because I don't have the space to store that many bigger cars, but I'm sure someone here would be willing to trade.

Thought that was a fitting addition, especially with the real ones being legally imported into the US this year (though the jury may still be out on that).

Well I have plenty of lose cars as well as a bunch of carded cars from around 1998-2002. I will see what I can dig up that may interest you. I also have the damaged version of the USS Enterprise that you may want. I am not sure if yours is or not.

That BTTF delorean, what do you want

What's the damaged version? Looks like maybe one of the engine pods is off somewhat, is that it?

Yeah, go through your stuff and let me know. I'd be happy with pretty much any race car or super car. Only thing I really don't care for are the Hot Wheels creations that don't really resemble anything.

I like pretty much everything - race cars, sports cars, super/hyper cars are my preference. but I also like vintage and muscle cars and trucks. What do you have that are doubles or you want to get rid of?

01/14/2014 at 17:35

hmm well I have way too many to list is there a specific one you would want?
