My latest diecast, CM's 1/64 4wd Rally Starion

Combines two of my favorite things.. vintage rally cars and vintage Mitsus! Seeing how nice this is I am going to buy a few more for sure!

If anybody has any Blvd 510 wagons or Skylines they would like to trade I would be interested. I have a bunch of the Hot Ones CRX if that helps. Would also be willing to trade the CRXs for a Hot Ones Pick-up or Brat.

I'd love to trade

...... but I can't even find any of them around here in So Cal! :cry:

Here's my latest haul - only had time to shoot the box art.

We are usually around a month or so behind the west coast as far as hot wheels stocking goes. Unfortunately, all I have around me are wal-marts and targets. There is one Toy-r-us, but they don't really stock the blvd series. From what I have seen on other websites, it looks like the collectors are snatching all these up first and then throwing them on ebay for 2-3xs the cost. I have seen the 2000gt TH on ebay relatively cheap... for a treasure hunt.

Yes, the collectors, and especially the resellers are snatching up anything that is hot, and that includes the JNC. I haven't seen any good Hot Ones, Boulevards, or any Flying Customs. Of course I gave up hunting in stores because it was taking up too much time and pretty much a lost cause in my neighborhood. Now I rely on friends and online trading or buying. For the most part I try to stay away from eBay and it's crazy prices.

Yeah I haven't seen any of the new Boulavard series, they did have a bunch of the green 70 celica's, the panda 86 and the blue Mad Manga at Target the last time I went.

How about...? A “Meriken” twist on a Japanese classic.

Found this old Datsun in the office at my work. No idea where it came from but it was covered in a layer of dust at least a few years old.

Hot Wheels Datsun 200sx

Neat little find I thought.

Bought these at a flea market I went to...

Matchbox Toyota Supra - made in Macau
I have a few of these already, but this is a new color for me.

And this trio of Tomica Toyotas...

I think these might be from the Pocket Cars series?

Toyota Dyna (No. 131-50 Toyota Farm Truck)

Toyota Ambulance (No. 46-40 Toyota Ambulance)

Toyota Celica 1600 (No. 20-26 Toyota Celica)

Last night I was lucky and found some goodies at Toys R Us. They must have just opened a case.

UGH at least i know they are in stores just not the ones i go to.

toyotageek · **Posted:** Fri Mar 08, 2013 8:21 am

Got these in the mail yesterday, but haven't had a chance to open 'em up yet.

TSiSS350 · **Posted:** Fri Mar 08, 2013 3:28 pm

Love that police car!

I need to spend a Saturday just looking just for hot wheels at all the stores.

Tomica Limited Vintage....

First, a Nissan Caball "George Cider" delivery truck for Snake Motors, and a two car Cedric/Gloria set from Seibu Keisatsu.

Next, the Radio Car Series.

LV-Ra01 Skyline Van TBS Radio Car

LV-Ra02 Galant AII Cultural Broadcasting Car

LV-Ra03 Laurel 1800 Nippon Broadcasting

And something not Tomica Limited Vintage....
a box of 10 cars somehow tied in with Nostalgic Hero magazine.

The models come in what is commonly known as a 'blind box' since you don't know what's inside. A case however contains one of each, plus there is a 10th mystery car.

Here's how the cars look out of the box.

Toyota Soarer 2800GT

Toyota Celica XX 2800GT - this happens to be the mystery car, a blue version.

And last is a Honda City with Motocompo foldaway scooter (the scooter actually came with the real car & fit in the back).
