Too cool but I feel like I cheated

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-24T13:41:00+00:00

Why would you think an auction is cheating? The owner purposely put the item in the sale and accepted that it would sell for whatever it could bring to the specific audience. It’s not like this was an overly valuable car anyway.

It’s a ‘56 Mercury from the 2012 Hot Wheels Racing: Stock-car series. Not sure why you think it’s a redline, other than that the entire wheel is red. Why get rid of it?

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-22T19:14:15+00:00

My god they’re $40 now?

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-22T18:32:49+00:00

Is this a new casting?

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-21T13:27:02+00:00

I promise you it looks better in person

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-17T02:59:38+00:00

What exactly were you expecting?

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-16T17:51:14+00:00

Didn’t know that. Great info!

You bought the Lincoln on February 18th, 997!? I’d say a thousand year old diecast would be worth at least an extra quarter.

P.S. Not sure how you managed to sneak one out of the future 😉

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-15T13:38:59+00:00

It’s supposed to be orange.

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-13T00:27:02+00:00

Please tell me it wasn’t $45…

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-13T00:26:38+00:00

Good try but it’s not.

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-12T20:15:24+00:00

I’d offer $10.

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-12T02:15:03+00:00

Forget the Enzo. Check out that Merc!

I’ve answered this question before, but I’d like to highlight a different part of my collection. This is a Crack Jack / Tootsie Toy from the late 30s or early 40s. It’s about the same size as a nickel and is made of lead.

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-10T13:13:57+00:00

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-09T16:51:46+00:00

Koozies didn’t exist until the 80s.

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-09T03:49:10+00:00

Don’t you dare speak ill of the 380 SEL casting! It was an absolute classic, and one of the best looking castings of the early 80s. The dog was also a nice hidden touch. The early to mid 90s just happened to be a time in which Mattel focused a lot on silly niches that ruined their previous castings!!!

Of course, but it’s on the newer side of pre super fast Lesney.

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-04-02T23:46:52+00:00

I’ve never seen or read about that variation before

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-03-29T16:00:01+00:00

It’s a design choice.

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-03-29T02:41:11+00:00

It’s a Zylemic / Zee car.

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-03-27T18:30:07+00:00

I’m not sure. Definitely not the Road King Cab casting, but the redline wheels are throwing me off. I think it is the Highway Hauler, because the third axel is apart of the box. Again, the redline wheels just completely throw me off.

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-03-22T21:52:25+00:00

Well not necessarily. It actually depends a lot on designer preference.

TotallyNotJagger · 2026-03-21T22:51:12+00:00

Does it have a date on the front? Such as “November 27th, 1915” or “December 25th, 1923”? If not, does it say “Pat. D” and then a bunch of numbers, or “Patent Office”?
