The Matchbox & Hot Wheels Thread

salsa4datass · 03-23-2014, 07:13 PM

bmorr: is that the extent of your collection or do you have more? just curious cause it looks like you need the first release matchbox batmobile (I think it's blue), the latest batmobile (blue one), other enterprise (not sure if yours is the damaged or reg.) and a few others to complete your tv/movie/franchise set... :P

nah, im not into getting repaints. im not a completionist. I saw the flintstone and new blue batmobile at retail, tho but passed. I dont need two of the same car. It just takes up room on the shelf.

hey guys, i have most hot wheels movie n tv cars, regular treasure hunts, dc comics villains cars, +more up for trade at my game n toy tradelist link below. Lots of cars pictured! Also have action figures, too. I Mostly want to trade for figures. In diecast, which is lower priority, I'm mostly looking for older movie/tv cars like knight rider, back to the future time machine, The Bat, Ecto-1, or rarer jetsons, homers, etc.

Still slow but getting more in my area...no go for the Homer at all though.

Frank Richards · 03-31-2014, 11:49 PM

Still no sign of The Homer or the '66 Batmobile in my area, but I snagged a second Supernatural Impala (to open, while the other stays in the package), a second blue "action figure" Batmobile, and this Flintmobile. I've passed on the brighter colored Flintmobile, but for some reason, the brown and gray variant caught my eye. I may snag the other now as well

Yeah, I'm glad that K-Mart seems to be the only retailer that carries the short cards. I'm not a fan of those either.

bmorr · 04-05-2014, 10:53 AM

Picked this up today. Its the James Bond car. Not the same color from the films, but the same make and model. Is this to be considered a new "movie" car?

salsa4datass · 04-05-2014, 11:50 PM

if it doesn't say "james bond: 007) on it it's not. they are going to be releasing (if they haven't been already) a few 007 cars in the bigger size...

trebleshot · 04-07-2014, 06:51 AM

Technically, Bond and his history with that Aston Martin are mentioned on the back of the card. But since it's the wrong colour and there is no "007" logo on the front, I wouldn't count it either.

I'm hoping Mattel releases it again in the traditional (and movie accurate) silver body colour, with or without the "007" logo. Even better would be a version in the premium line (the BTTF Time Machine and Italian Job Minis are proof that it's not just a TV-themed line).

DHeezy81 · 04-12-2014, 04:29 PM

Found these today. Also had the Enterprise but the card was beat to Hell.

Nice finds! I've passed on a few Enterprises and Flintmobiles, but I haven't seen the Jetsons' Capsule Car yet. I'm considering picking it up since it's so different from the one in the main line.

Lamentations07 · 04-12-2014, 09:33 PM

Had both of these snatched from my cart after my buddy found them for me. I was so happy to get the 66 Batmobile. I'll have left is this picture. Very bummed right now!

bmorr · 04-13-2014, 05:40 AM

nice! i gotta get that vengeance!i have the flintmooblile and jetsons care in the smaller packaging, so im gonna pass on those new cards. I hope they release a mach 5 in the future though.

DHeezy81 · 04-13-2014, 01:12 PM

Here's the rest of my HW. I stopped buying anything outside of the Retro Entertainment. I'd like to snag all the Batmobiles and the few they have with the Universal Monsters on them. But RE and MOTU are the priority.

PROVOST · 04-13-2014, 02:26 PM

salsa4datass · 04-13-2014, 05:34 PM

I need to find that u.s.s. vengeance and provost, how old is that car?...

I can't wait to pick those up, along with the Vengence. I'll have to make a judgment call on the '66 Batmobile when/if I see it on the pegs, as I'm not sure about getting another one.

In other news, I picked up the Stripes "EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle" in the Retro line. The card had a big fat crease on one side, but luckily for me I'm not an MOSC collector. I'll see if I can post a pic of it later.

heres an ebay link for the stripes RV:

Someone actually had the audacity to take those out of your cart ?!?! I would have been LIVID ! You, sir, handled that with more patience than I would have, lol! Are scalpers that bad in your area, or is there just a lot of competition among collectors ?

Nice, I just realized that you have the Krogers' Halloween Exclusive Ecto-1 down in the bottom corner. That vehicle is among a few of my personal Hot Wheels "white whales", lol! I didn't even realize it existed until late October in 2012, and the night that I first saw it online, I traveled to a ridiculous number of Krogers in my area looking for it. I managed to find a single Halloween Batmobile, but that was it.

Now you've created a problem for me. I must have a Halloween Batmobile! lol. I got the Ecto-1 off eBay about a year ago. I don't recall the exact price but I know it was less than $10 shipped.
