First in the Wild!!: Hot Wheels Ghostbusters ECTO-1

So glad I swung by Walmart on the way home tonight.  Bunch of Ghostbuster carded cars in the dump bin.  I grab one, check out the back of the card & see that one of the cars are the stupid-elusive Ecto-1.   

Six compartments in the two dump bins put together.  I check five compartments & nothing!  It was like 30 of every car, except Ecto.  Not very surprising.

 Another guy with his son going through the last compartment, I wait for them to finish & I check that one too just for heck of it.  It had Ecto-1.  lol

Slime Bread Box actually look really good.  I don't know if these are Walmart Exclusive, but I recommend the Bread Box.  :D

I completely forgot this thing existed.  When fellow collector Jason brought this casting up, I was headed straight to eBay.

GreenLight Motor World 2011 Nissan GT-R(R35) + the Gold Edition 2016 GT-R

I thought these were good deal from a seller I had purchased from.  I got charged higher combined shipping than usual, so it came out to just under $12.  About the same as my local Toys R Us($7 for regular, $5 for Motor World).  In my opinion, Most GreenLight cars aren't worth $7.  I wouldn't pay that unless I liked the car so much I had to have it....  Pics:

From my personal experience, half the GreenLight cars seem to have low quality detailing to downright defect/blemishes.  I used to see similar issues with M2 Machines products, but I haven't run into them in awhile.  I used to be big on GreenLight, but when someone raises prices & drops in quality, I would be less crazy about you.  Please up your game, GreenLight.

If there is difference in quality between the Motor World version($5) & Gold Edition($7 like most GLs), I don't know what it is.  The End.

Hot Wheels 2004: "18th Annual Collector's Convention Irvine, CA" + "4th Annual Collectors Nationals Dallas, TX" '34 Ford Coupe....s

hot wheels  2004 18th annual collector's convention

$32.70 for both(shipped).  Not bad.  By my observation, these cars were paired with the 1/24 version of the same car.  I tend to focus solely on 1/64, so when I saw the listing on TTP for just the smaller cars from the sets, I decided to get it.  $30+ isn't cheap for two cars, but for quality that in my opinion surpasses those of the HWC/RLC cars, I'd be more than happy to pay that.  Besides, I really dig the looks of these hot rods.  :D
