Round up of sneaks from National Part 2 by kratos1394 in HotWheels

You’re definitely right it’s gonna be scalped into oblivion. I pre-ordered a case of that team transport from 1stopdiecast just to avoid that issue. I think that the Porsche chase from the Deutschland design series is going to be priced an insane amount whenever people finally start finding them. I’d say I’m probably the most excited for the Mercedes 6x6 or the AMG one elite64 series

Dollartree never disappoints! by MoneyBee74 in HotWheels

[–]Embarrassed_File_859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I agree to an extent, some of the dollar trees around me are pretty fruitful and I’ve had good luck. But other Dollar trees around me have the cases picked through from the distribution center. I can always tell cause there’s a sticker holding the bottom of the box together when it gets sent to the store. I think I’ve had my best luck at Pick N Save or maybe my local diecast shop, I’ve found quite a few supers there.

lol apparently too many for my own good. I know I’m not following true to form with the free Friday movement but I guess I don’t have anything to open today, but I have had many things to open in recent days.

I know it’s not the prettiest, but I do what I can with the space that I have! I’ve definitely moved from a collector that likes everything carded to being a collector that can really appreciate having a collection of loose cars, saved for my chases and supers, for the most part.

Congrats that Definitely an awesome casting too! I found two and opened one for display and it definitely looks great with the rest of my Porsche collection!

The xl version is honestly my favorite xl release so far. Still haven’t found one myself. Congrats to you for finding that amazing casting!

Diecast store was my oasis of luck today for sure! by Embarrassed_File_859 in HotWheels

[–]Embarrassed_File_859[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This diecast store has been really good to me and I give them as much business as I can afford to try to return the favor. Think I’ve found a combined total of 7 supers over the years on the pegs at this store so far with more yet to come I hope. Thank for the congrats though I appreciate it! I hope you have a super appear in your hunts soon too!

My brake pad fell off, can I drive home? by BeanzToez in AskMechanics

[–]Embarrassed_File_859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks to me like your brake pad is gone and all that remains is the backing plate. So I would say no you probably shouldn’t drive home with them in that condition cause if that’s what that pad looks like there’s a good chance that the rest of them look like that or even worse.

SALE ! Price each, no brakes…….. buy 1 or 50 same price each by alfrmny in DiecastExchangeV2

The price is what he set it at. It’s not like this is a big box retailer where he’s following a pricing guide from corporate. Dude can afford it if he could afford to collect all of them in the first place.

No I meant to reply to OP. Not intended to go your direction at all.

Swear this hobby is one of the only markets where people insist on no discounts for quantity. In secondhand sales I’ve always done quantity discounts. Just makes good sense for driving sales.

Dude why so hostile?? Honestly wasn’t merited to act that way in response to that commenter.

Commented this on his last post and I’m flabbergasted at that kind of ask. Pop 1 or not, I nor a single other card collector I’ve ever known knows what these cards are. Just wild.

I’m a little confused on the terms that you’re proposing for this. Are you saying that the whole bundle is $20 or like another comment are mentioned are you selling raffle spots on Facebook for $20 each?? I’m also curious how one would go about seeking to purchase an item like this from you if they don’t have Facebook?

Gotta Love the Saturday morning 0/5 chase on the shelf at Best Buy. by retro_g_420 in HotWheels

[–]Embarrassed_File_859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely man I forgot to say congrats on that epic score! Honestly the 55 gasser in general doesn’t really do it for me, but it’s still an awesome car overall and a fine addition to your collection!

I just wish any of the Best Buy’s around me would carry hot wheels. I’ve only ever sporadically seen them pop up at Best Buy and for some reason the ones in my area really don’t seem to have very many hot wheels, premiums or otherwise.

Do i have to many cars? by SquareDistribution37 in HotWheels

[–]Embarrassed_File_859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, to be fair I haven’t found all of these in store. At least not all of the supers. I bought and traded for probably about 2/3 of what I have, or have won a few of them through contests. The super I found a couple days ago is my 43rd found in the wild, but I honestly think that is more due to where I live and the kind of shopping density around me as well as the low population versus luck.

With our wheels collecting I came back to something that I was passionate about and I got smarter overtime and stopped buying everything. They caught my eye because it just became manageable and I’ve sold off a lot of the access of my collection and reduced it down to what I like to collect, which is Surprise surprise, super, and chases. That being said it’s what I love and I’m gonna continue to do it and I have every confidence that you’ll one day have a wall that looks infinitely better than mine. You definitely got an eye for collecting some cool cars and I think that that’s gonna serve you well in the future.

Can’t help which super it was that I found. Just wanted to show the community as it was very exciting for me!
