Diecast: Dinky-Matchbox-Hot Wheels

[Morgbug]

Wow.  That's in amazing shape though, with the bullets still on the sprue and the outer box.  I had the Batmobile and my buddy across the street had the Batboat as well, but we both played with them and the boxes long went away.  I did keep my Batmobile in nice enough shape to sell it a couple of years back for about $200 though.

Ack! Just when I though I was slowly stearing away from the uber diecast stuff, Sixteen12 Collectibles comes out with 3 diecast Drones from the movie Silent Running.        

Limited to 100 each & 365GBP so that's about $656.00 Canadian so all 3 are 1968GBP so aboot 3,542 CDN & all are released in July... ****!

Whew, the TH luck appears to be back, at least for a while.  Had a very long stretch without finding one (8 months or so) but found one a couple of weeks back, then one on Monday and then eight more today including two supers.  Still gotta film my bonfire.

[Morgbug]

Digging the spendy season for finding THs 

[Morgbug]

Don't usually find stuff at this time of year, so was pleased to pick up another Mustang TH and this:

Do the TH's still look like the ones from like two years ago with that green stripe or whatever?  I haven't really looked since I got those toon Camaros (which are still gathering dust somewhere)

[Morgbug]

Yup, green stripe down the side.  Just like in the picture above my picture with the white lightning. The Mustangs in the lower left of that picture are the first THs of 2010 (01/12) so the pattern remains the same for this year.

I picked up this beauty at the Kennedy Space Center, this is a reissued version of Code 3 model made by Toys & Models Corporation for the 40th Anniversary. Just stunning. 

[Morgbug]

That's neat Dale.  Where do you display all this stuff?

[spiderpumpkin]

Found the new 2010 Hot Wheels Batmobile the other day.  Very cool.

[spiderpumpkin]

Opened up the new Hot Wheels Ghostbusters ECTO-1 the other day and it's very cool.  Have it displayed with my Ertl Ecto-1 and 2009 Hallmark Ecto-1.

[Morgbug]

Huh, I still haven't found either the Ecto or the Batmobile so far.  I can stumble across Thunts every so often but those cars continue to elude me.  I did find five THs in the last couple of weeks including two super Thunts. 

[spiderpumpkin]

I only saw them one time and that's when I bought them.  

Just received the 1980 Hot Wheels Sto & Go City Playset I bought on ebay.  Sold mine off years ago and found a nice new one to put on display with my childhood Hot Wheels and Matchbox.  I kept all my childhood cars and carrying case but sold off everything else in the late 80s.  I also have the 1979 Service Station coming soon. 

Anyone else remember the Sto & Go Hot Wheel Sets from 1979, 1980,....?

Anyone else remember the Sto & Go Hot Wheel Sets from 1979, 1980,....?

I just remember the carwash set from the early 80's.  Very cool I guess back from the day.  Fun set.  Color change cars?  I don't recall, but a fun piece.

That's neat Dale.  Where do you display all this stuff?

Missed this... in storage for now till I start working on my display room this winter.
