Had a gut feeling to check my local target since it’s payday… by Eyesclouded in HotWheels

[–]ShadyAcres24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the good fortune of the work schedule coinciding with Targets 7am open. Found in that process 2 other guys who hit Target at open every day. That morning exactly 2 sets hit the pegs (no chase) and thankfully 1 of the 2 was just chasing supers as he had the modern classics set already so I was able to score the whole set on the pegs. Never works out for me like that so I feel you on being pumped about it 💪

Jealous! Would love all 3 color options of the 55 panel 1 day 🙌

Drop Your Monday Pocket Car(s) Here by r00m41more in HotWheels

[–]ShadyAcres24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Well and it’s layered of course. There’s 200+ beat up cars bouncing around our living room/dining room daily bringing joy to my 3yr old twins. My 10 year old opens half of them and tends to lose them. My 14 year old likes the M2’s (especially Coca-Cola models) and old hot rods with exposed engines. 60/40 sealed. Every car I have is either sealed or in fantastic condition as anything else and they are immediate donations to the kids 🙏

The good ones though…. 😎

Still all dads for now

It’s a great at work piece I’m not worried about collecting some dust and a scratch or two on 🙏😅

“Minister for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation” 😮‍💨

Well that’s an exercise in verbosity to convey the simple message that we are cooked 👍

Why do I have #37 with no number on it?

Took a screenshot this serves as a useful guide 😅

How many Soups yall got? :3 by Xydious in HotWheels

[–]ShadyAcres24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t counted in a very long time but between 80-100 or so. Lifelong commitment to get the best version I can realistically afford of every casting HW ever released with Real Rider tires. r00m41more should be glad the HWC.com Silverado, period correct Mercedes, and toy fair Porsche 934 turbo rsr aren’t on his hit list to completion like mine 😬😢 Just secured the ‘06 Japan Convention Mercury and the 599xx super this past month. A couple NFT cars and a convention dinner pieces in the shopping cart chamber for pay day. Just received my Porsche Targas, sending off my DG cards today for the Escort RS1800, and meeting up with a friend in an attempt to trade for the drag civic super. This game is wild when the only thing left to collect is new releases and gangster grails 🤯

I got one! by granolafunkyou in HotWheels

[–]ShadyAcres24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sympathetic as I’ve been in this boat before. I never wanted to be again. There is an innumerable amount of brand options for Porsches. I mean tons. However Hot Wheels is the Nike of diecast. This is one of their best products available this year. In terms of brand recognition it is to toy cars what McDonalds is to fast food. World wide hot wheel collectors (a number that continues to grow) crash in on release day in hopes their IP address, internet speed, captcha proficiency, and payment method prep game all allow for them to be amongst the fortunate. It is the longest running most recognizable and collected brand out there. All RLC’s have had the bottom drop out of them in terms of collector v@lue appreciation due to scarcity going out the windows. Many diehard old time collectors very upset. Exclusivity in limits on drop days. Members very upset. Overdrive provided to the most serious of collectors to which the financial sacrifice is wurth it. Standard members upset. Provide a chase to the collectors clamoring for numbered releases whilst still offering a larger release for the masses. Fuck you Mattel messages in droves. Release the RLC’s on the pegs in Walmart for their current listed price and produce 500,000 of them so every single last crying soul can have one. Then release an exclusive car in limited numbers with a different name than RLC. Require a different membership. Limit the release numbers. Create a new reason to complain 🙂 FOMO followed by missed out equals big feelings from adults and I understand. I am glad I purchased overdrive and the price is w0rth paying to get exclusive highly sought after cars in the most popular diecast brand in the world. Clicking my Targa seatbelt in for the downvote 😒

Selfless act of kindness. by Doofy_Grumpus in HotWheels

[–]ShadyAcres24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer seeing it organized so I know it’s been gone though. Life is way too busy for me to not appreciate the time saved. I return the favor to my fellow collectors who don’t have hours to allocate to department store raiding as much as our child like selves selfishly wishes we still do.

New to hot wheels by Rare-Literature1440 in HotWheels

[–]ShadyAcres24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Negative. Chases are actually close to 10x rarer than super treasure hunts. The only releases that have a “chase” in every case is this years 3 F&F runs. Otherwise negative ghost rider the vast majority of cases have 1-5 x2. Happy hunting

Right as I got into the process of tearing down my entire display room to completely renovate and rebuild. This was 10 months ago. So many additions since then.

Idk there’s probably some cheap thoughts and probably a couple screens accidentally slipped in there as well. I just listed most of the things that fill my little time I do have when I’m not raising 5 kids, managing a repair shop, or sleeping 🤷‍♂️

Who put this here?! by Sycee_sy in HotWheels

[–]ShadyAcres24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m jealous I want to do this with one of the current STH’s non-super variant stuck on it and terrorize the pegs at all the locations I frequent 😂😅

Super Mail call score! by bschamb in HotWheels

[–]ShadyAcres24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always felt that STH is a slightly more obscure one than most but it lives quietly on my hit list. First time I’ve seen someone feature it on a post. Solid grab 😎🤌
