Just snagged a couple of camo Batman Tumblers today. Lol, I think everyone else here already has those, so I'll spare you the pics. However, if you really want to see them, check my latest post in the "Look What I Just Got Thread".

DHeezy81 04-16-2014 12:03 PM

Finally scored a Colonial Viper! All I need now to complete the '13 run is that damn Kenworth from Smokey & the Bandit! I refuse to pay ebay prices, though. So the hunt continues.

I always scratch my head when i see those 1-off cars. But all the same, if you're a fan of the series, then I guess it makes perfect sense. Although I'm a little confused about the Zoolander jeep. They should have at least maybe made some small models riding in there. Haha. It didn't really even play a major part in the movie at all.

Unclechopchop 04-16-2014 03:34 PM

By the way guys. I have a lot of key (American Graffiti, old muscle cars, etc.) Johnny Lightning loose cars that are in perfect to near perfect condition if anybody is even interested at all. If you guys are, i might just post them here rather than E-bay.......ughhhhh I hate dealing with E-bay....

Ha! So true! Greenlight has made some bizarre choices as to the licenses they have made vehicles for. Lol, I honestly don't know any die-cast collectors who really want a Bewitched car in their collection.
Mattel is getting to be just as bad with the Retro Entertainment line. I keep spotting the Simon & Simon IROC and Power Wagon, as well as the Hart To Hart Ferrari, from the newer waves. Oddly enough, the Magnum PI vehicles (from a few waves ago) sold nearly immediately. Also, those Brady Bunch station wagon is still hanging around. I can understand why someone would want the vehicles from a show like the A-Team, and maybe Miami Vice, but when it comes to cars from some of those other older TV shows, I don't understand the appeal.
But, to each his own, I guess, lol! There are probably plenty of collectors out there who can't fathom why I'd want the Supernatural Impala, The USS Enterprise, the ships from Battlestar, or so many Batmobiles :)

It's really funny what catches peoples eye. Sometimes I find random stuff that I know nobody else could give a crap about.
The real question is. How's come some of these companies will produce something that pretty much nobody will even pay attention to, while there's so many other things they could make that people are dying to see! When that question is asked, companies always go on that whole "It isn't cost efficient". But yet they produce a Brady Bunch wagon......because my life wouldn't be complete without that???

I snatched up the S&S IROC as soon as I saw it. That was my dream car back in the day. It didn't hurt that I was also a fan of the show. :)

But I still can't justify a Bewitched car. I liked the show and all, but yeah. But I guess if you're going to do 70's and 80's TV show cars, you gotta cover all the big hits.

DHeezy81 04-17-2014 09:53 AM

My only beef with the Retro Entertainment line is the non retro shit they're starting to put out. Fast Five & Need for Speed? I'm sorry, that's not retro. I hope the line doesn't go in that direction. I'd rather have more from obscure shows and movies than popular modern stuff.

Late response here but I was at the TRU where I used to work so I was talking with one of my old co workers which distracted me. I had a cart on the backside of the end cap that was not fully in view and someone snuck them out of my cart. I have a lot of scalpers for hot wheels in my area because I live in a smaller community but I'm lucky that I still have good friends who give me a heads up at my old job when items like these pop up.

DHeezy81 04-18-2014 08:04 PM

Still not happy with the fact that these are not retro at all. But I cannot have an incomplete collection.

Frank Richards 04-19-2014 09:38 PM

Thanks to Arker glane21 for this awesome Batcycle !

It's from 2006. The only place I ever saw these was KB Toys. I always thought they were cool, but never picked one up, because I wasn't collecting Hot Wheels back then.

DHeezy81 04-20-2014 11:32 AM

I've been swimming in RE the last few days. Shitty part about that, it means a dry spell is coming.

I'd be showing my age here but it was an 80's TV show I can recall seeing a fair bit.

Hart to Hart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Wagner is perhaps more well known to younger people as "Number 2" in Austin Powers.

trebleshot 04-21-2014 07:20 AM

^Good show, nonetheless.

In other news, I picked up another dented-package Retro car: the Jetsons. If that's the only way I can get some of these now, then I'm all for it (being a loose collector is awesome, that way).

Btw, the Retro one is far and away better than the regular release: flight stand, no silly "invisible" wheels, and painted rings on the propulsion jets.

Ditto. The arcade game Need for Speed is retro, but definitely not the new movie. Old School is technically retro since it came out over 10 years ago, but it still seems too young compared to most of the other IPs in this line.

Honestly, I had never heard of Hart to Hart or Simon & Simon until I saw these brilliant Adam Scott shorts on Adult Swim:

Wow, realizing that Old School is over 10 years old makes me feel old, lol :p

Xcaliber037 04-23-2014 05:12 PM

Just got these guys online. So sweet!

http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/...psx8edzfhq.jpg

I picked up the majority of these plus a handful more last week I believe. Can't wait to race them!

http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/...psla43ucja.jpg

Walmart got a whole slew of new Hot Wheels. No Homers in the whole box :(
