It's just a repaint, but it's only a dollar so I bought one anyway.

ok cool
my TRU has been real slow in getting in new cases
but cant complain too much I’ve been snagging up Datsuns like crazy of late in the mean time

E and F are now hitting my area now so hopefully i snag one up
i jus picked up that 89 Batmobile repaint not to long ago too

I'm not opposed to adding any M2 Machines to my collection, but the opportunity just hasn't presented itself yet.

The majority of my collection is largely vehicles from movies, TV shows, and comics I like (like the Supernatural cars I just picked up), and from what I've seen, M2 doesn't really deal with that sort of thing.
On the rare occasion that I do buy die-cast cars based on real-life vehicles (that aren't from a TV show or movie), it's typically a vehicle that fits my narrow taste in automobiles (Jeeps, Toyota SUVS, Land Rovers ... um, and, lol, not much else).

From what I've seen, M2's stuff seems to be fairly high-quality, so if I were to ever spot a Jeep Wrangler or Toyota Land Cruiser, or something along those lines, from M2, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

[midwmaniac]

They are hard to find at times unfortunetly ... I love supernatural so I will have to start picking some of those up.Ive been around die cast for a long time 1/18 1/24 and about anything else lol

my haul for the month

[flipwilson]

I picked up 3 new arkham knight batmobiles, a few more homers, and a fast and the furious car the other day. Hell yeah. That batmobile is awesome.

[Frank Richards]

Finally spotted the new Arkham Knight Batmobile !
Judging from the "Look What I Just Got" thread, a lot of us have been spotting it.
I also picked up the "Roll Patrol" Jeep from the 2011 "Hot Ones" series. I kept passing on it a few years ago when it was $5, but I happened to stumble upon one on clearance for $1 while out hunting today.

[Frank Richards]

With the new Fast and Furious movie in theaters, my interest in the franchise has been reignited.
When I was younger, I loved the first two, but the awful third one caused me to lose interest in the franchise.
Sure, they're complete "popcorn" movies, but they're a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to catching up on the ones that I've missed.
But anyways...

Just last week, I was lamenting the fact that I had missed out on the Fast & the Furious Hot Wheels series from last summer, but last night, while forcing myself to endure the horrors of Wal-Mart to pick up some OJ and milk, I just happened to spot two of the three F&F Hot Wheels that I wanted !



I wish I had spotted the '70 Dodge Charger, but I'm pretty sure it's the same one available in the HW Mainline, so maybe I'll get lucky again and stumble upon that one.

yeah the 70 Charger RT is a great cast

the cast released in the 2013 mainline is gloss black with a chrome grill and 5 spoke wheels
the cast released this year in the 2015 F&F series is matte black with a dark(black) grill and black chrome line PR spoke wheels

^Impressive haul !

I've been on a Fast & Furious kick lately, and I'm really hoping to find one of those Corvette Grand Sport Roadsters too.

[Frank Richards]

I finally spotted the new Jurassic World Matchbox line in stores !

I'm definitely in the minority, but I'm still a little skeptical, and I'm worried that Jurassic World might be really disappointing, but, if I'm wrong, and I truly hope that I am, I think I might have to pick a few of these up.

[Frank Richards]

I swung by an out of the way grocery store after work tonight, since that store is usually a great place to find hard-to-find Hot Wheels, and I was lucky enough to spot the Fast & Furious Corvette Grand Sport Roadster that I'd been looking for; the same one I just happened to mention a little over a week ago !

[Defzombie]

Found these Yesterday


Also found this Jada Toys JP jeep last week at Target.

[trebleshot]

Picked up the new HW Falcon and Snowspeeder. Might get the Slave-I, Y-Wing and Ghost, but I'm still debating those.

Hopefully they put out an AT-AT and X-Wing at some point (highly likely).

I still need to pick up a Snowspeeder next time I'm out, but I've picked up the other four. The Falcon and Y-Wing were must-buys, and I've enjoyed Rebels far more than I ever would have guessed, so I was excited to get the Ghost too.

However, the Slave 1 really irritates me. When on its "flight" stand, it's in its horizontal takeoff and landing position.
I guess a specially designed flight stand, one that would display the Slave 1 in its proper vertical flying position, was more effort than Mattel was willing to expend on a $5 vehicle, lol.
Regrettably, I never picked up Hasbro's Titanium Slave 1, so I'm curious as to whether Hasbro included a proper flight stand with that version.

I agree with you 100%. The Slave 1 should have another peg hole so you can display it in it's proper vertical flight mode. I think it looks good though otherwise and I think I actually prefer the clear plastic flight stands that Mattel is using over the ones Hasbro packed with their Titanium line. I've picked up the Slave 1 and Y-Wing to fill gaps in my Titanium collection. I hope they get around to making an A-Wing and a TIE Interceptor.

The Ghost is the only one I'm really debating. I like the series so far, but I try to limit my SW collecting to OT-only these days. I used to be real hardcore with SW up until AOTC when I finally said "This is too much" and purged most of my collection at the time. Now I'm much more selective. Also much easier on the wallet, that way.

Yeah, I noticed that on the packaging. At least it is something that can be done by Slave I.

IIRC, the stand worked the same way as Mattel's version. Although I wouldn't think it would require that much effort for Mattel to make a second stand type. What are they going to do when they get to the B-Wing?

[Darcnezz]

Got these just recently..

[juggernaut209]

I love the new Hot Wheels ships, but I'm limiting myself to ones that were not made for the Titanium collection. Otherwise I will spend too much and run out of space. Just the Ghost so far, hoping for a troop transport and one of those small Imperial cruisers from Rebels.

I had not seen those new Fast and Furious Escorts and Corvettes, definitely need those.

[Comedian]

Found some good stuff at Walmart today.

[Frank Richards]

^ Nice finds ! I see you spotted the F&F Ford Escort as well !
I too had quite a productive day of hunting





I spent the afternoon hunting down a wide variety of trucks to add to my collection, and I was especially excited to spot the new 2015 Ford F-150.
I'm still hoping to find one of those 2010 Toyota Tundras from the past couple of years.

Over the past week, while researching and pricing potential new vehicles to eventually replace my reliable, but aging, Chevy truck, I came to a sobering conclusion.
Despite how badly I try to deny and suppress my southern, blue-collar background, I came to the realization that I am a "truck guy", lol.
Frankly, I like big trucks with nice rims
Granted, my ideal new vehicle would be some sort of SUV, but of all the SUVS on the market today, there are only a handful that I like, and they are definitely for consumers in a tax bracket far higher than mine, lol.

[Frank Richards]

Oh yeah, somehow, I forgot to post this Toyota Supra (from the 2015 F&F line) that I found a few weeks ago. I found it some time after I found the Charger and Grand Torino, but before I found the F&F Corvette.
Not quite sure how I forgot about it , but I tore it out of its packaging before I could snap the requisite in-package pics that I typically take.

[Frank Richards]

Here are my purchases from the past month or so.







Forgive me for basically repeating what I said earlier today in the "Look What I Just Got" thread, but although I have expressed disinterest in most of Hot Wheels' Pop Culture vehicles, I just couldn't pass on this Ant Man van.
I just really really like Scott Lang, so there was no way I could pass on this thing. Even though I feel fairly certain that the art is Hank Pym and not Scott Lang, lol, I still have no regrets.

[Frank Richards]

I didn't have the time to post these earlier, before I had to get to work, but I picked these up today while out hunting.
I thought that I had missed my window of opportunity to grab the Supernatural Mustang at retail, so I was quite excited when I spotted it at TRU.
Also, the hover-mode Delorean was a HUGE surprise, because I had no prior knowledge of its existence.
