Hot Wheels RLC Real Riders '92 Ford Mustang

hot wheels rlc 92 ford mustang

Value on this car is all over the place.  I got this one almost two years ago.  With only 3,500 produced, you won't find it cheaper today than what I paid back then($18 & change, shipped).

Love the rear-end on these Mustangs.  This shot reminds me of the Modern Classics version.

Tomica Limited Vintage NEO Nissan Silvia Turbo Super Silhouette(1984)


tomica silvia super silhouette

This is the latest "Super Silhouette" from Tomica Limited Vintage.  Last release of course was last summer.  1983 Silvia.  Don't get me wrong.  '83 Silvia's very cool.  I prefer the '84 for its sleeker looking front end.

Tomica Limited Vintage The Japanese Car Era Vol. 09 1970 Nissan Skyline 2000GT

Tomica Limited Vintage The Japanese Car Era Vol. 09 1970 Nissan Skyline 2000GT

When this casting was announced, it was a *yawn* for me.  In fact, I haven't even gotten around to posting the one I did buy when it first came out(red).  However, when the pic of this Japanese Car Era was released, I was in.  Nice paint & black leather top really gave it a handsome look.

Wheels don't look perfect, but at least these were detailed.

I've been looking for this Skyline for many, many weeks.  Thanks to somebody who left one at the local Dollar Tree(dollar store), I was able to get one.  I was very excited:

I'm sorry, but this is fugly dude.  Yikes.

Anywho, before Dollar Tree, I found another Matchbox I've been on a lookout for many weeks.  VW Transporter Crewcab thing.  Pic is on the left, from the Rite-Aid drugstore.  Hot Wheels & Matchbox are $1.79 there, but I didn't care.  I've been waiting on this thing for too long.  

Literally next door is the Dollar Tree, where I found the Skyline.  I find one more VW Transporter.  Super happy.

I look into each Transporter Cab's bed & notice they are variants.  Been looking for these things for so long, I find both variants within minutes of the other, right next door.  lol /CoolStory

Mattel 1970 Fast & Furious Ford Escort RS1600 MK1

Mattel 1970 Fast & Furious Ford Escort RS1600 MK1

Sorry, I don't have better pic of the card.  Picked this one up from Toys R Us for $3.99 I believe.  It's Mattel, but it's not Hot Wheels.  It's also slightly larger, like 1/57, or maybe bigger?  Big fan of Paul Walker Fast & Furious, and since this was his car, F&F6 was the movie when he was killed in the car accident, it ended up being the car I remember him by.  Maybe this & that white Supra.  ;(

I kinda find this series pointless for Hot Wheels collectors, but I guess it's kinda nice for the kids.  U just had a soft spot for this Escort.  :D
