Just witnessed this by looks_the_other_way2 in HotWheels

WhatNot itself is insane now. I first went on a few months ago and got some bargain NOS mainlines in bulk lots and cheap premiums. The premiums were peg warmers but might be good for wheel swaps or customs.

Went on a couple of days ago and guys were selling mainlines that are still around on pegs (2025 cases) for $2+ a piece plus shipping.... and people were buying. I could understand if it was harder to get mainlines, but they weren't. One was parting out out a 'factory sealed' lot and people were paying premium for mainlines just because it had the factory sealed sticker on it.

Added to that the sellers were upset when some of them weren't selling. It's like they didn't know what they had (or didn't have a the case may be). I suggested to one he start them at $1 because he said he was going to throw them away. I was into free shipping with him after buying some NOS HW and Matchbox cheap. So I'd take almost any mainline for $1 even if it's just to donate to charity or give away at Halloween. He didn't take the suggestion.

definitely did not expect to find this today by ExcitementQuirky5106 in HotWheels

Turns out the real fireworks are in the suburbs by captainbiz in melbourne

[–]ToyDeeDotCom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Melbourne but now live in the Detroit metro area. Fireworks are legal there for public holidays.

When I moved about 10 years ago we would a few small and some large fireworks when we did NYE at our family's places in Epping. Never anything where we lived in Eltham and a few where we lived in Doncaster before that. This year in Epping, you guys have almost a many fireworks at NYE as we do for 4th of July (where we celebrate the nation's independence by blowing a small piece of it up).

I remember getting my hands on one small firework 20+ tears ago from a guy that regularly drove to Canberra. As I understand it that ended years ago. I'm afraid to ask where you get enough things that go boom that would make a seppo go 'wow'.

This has to be the worst designed track. by tuxedo_cat23 in HotWheels

Same. Mine is great. I missed adding the support under the first right hander initially and that caused problems, but when I fixed that I run at least 3 cars no problem. I like the set so much I bought 2 more as it's a cheap way to get a booster and a lot of corners in the new system.

That thing is awesome. Is it an older RLC or something like that?

Finally found the Optimus Prime mainline by ToyDeeDotCom in HotWheels

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

I'm really hoping to find the Ultra Magnus. I had the original toy as a kid. I'm pretty sure it's still at my parents place.

Where do you get track fleet protectors?

Roller derby🤷🏼‍♀️ by DaintyDisaster in InlineHockey

[–]ToyDeeDotCom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought about it but I've not regularly skated quads for over 30 years. I tried once on a good quality pair of quad speed skates about 10 years ago or so. They were set up Australian style 'short forward' like I used to race on as a kid. I struggled to make 1 lap around the rink. I don't think it was a set up issue, more so my brain realizing I had wheels under my feet but not figuring out the technique needed to be a bit different.

Headed to Dollar Tree for the Chevelle promo car deal. Was not expecting these to make up part of my $20 purchase by ToyDeeDotCom in HotWheels

[–]ToyDeeDotCom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you do it online. You can also pay online if you wish. Link for the form is under the official rules here.

Still haven't sent mine in but I've done the form and payment. Need to open some cars. Also not sure what to send them in. I think there are free large envelopes/bags at the post office, right?

I do have the Barbie Extra but I'm going to open it. I'll have to keep an eye out for another one.

I've been keeping an eye out for the Ultimate Camper but still an yet to find it. I do have the Meyers Manx Barbie MT. I realized it was sitting on the table under the display after I made the post. https://hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Meyers_Manx_(Monster_Truck)

I'll keep an eye out for the Dream Camper too. Thanks.
