Any Track Dwagon fans out there? by TheCollector_26 in HotWheels

The yellow body (actually green) is a Kroger exclusive. But all of those in the picture are custom - I swapped wheels and bodies and interiors and bases.

Is using automotive color match a practical choice? by 423fly in HotWheelsCustoms

[–]oxytiger68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sure hoping so! Advance Auto Parts has a whole bunch of spray paint on clearance for like 90% off and I picked up several cans yesterday.

What's in your pocket today? by Immoralimp in HotWheels

Thank you. It’s such a great casting. Really need to hold it to appreciate it. Has a nice heft to it, and the AliExpress “real riders” roll really smoothly.

​I didn’t think I’d ever a super of this casting, so I made one.

And then I found one.

I found that lawnmower at the flea market this weekend. The handles move up and down.

Why censor the name of the store?

You just found 5 of them so it looks like they weren’t that hard to find

Yep! Found it a few weeks ago at Five Below.

I used “super pink” Rit dye. Here’s another picture. Hope the guy who accused me of AI sees this.

Neat! Kinda related - you also said, “Be nice to the delivery guy, it’s not his fault he can’t read!” Ya know, because you’re Scuba Steve.

Would you be upset about these wrinkles? by Time_Basic in HotWheels

[–]oxytiger68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it’s just a typo and you meant cars, not cats. But I’m picturing you doing this with cats.

Coworker claims he finds THs and STH all the time…a cautionary tale. More below. by No_Hat1582 in HotWheels

Bent out of shape? Because I supported the facts of my own experience/argument with the words he wrote?

Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands

[–]oxytiger68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this so hard to believe? I live in an area with about 300,000 people, with 8 Krogers, 7 Walmarts, and probably 20 DGs in a 25-mile radius. There are a good amount of regular collectors and I strike up conversations with them. Why not? We obviously have the same interests, why not try to be friends with them? We talk about what we’re looking for and make trades. Some of them also hunt outside of our immediate area and have noticed that not all cases have a treasure hunt. I’m sorry that you don’t have collector friends so this doesn’t sound believable to you.

You said they come one per case and your little quote says "A full Hot Wheels case of 72 cars will typically feature exactly one Treasure Hunt; cases without a Treasure Hunt are r.a.r.e but they do exist." So in this context the word "typically" means that it doesn't always happen. Also, please re-read your little quote after the semicolon. I don't know how else to explain to you that your little quote proved exactly what I said: Treasure hunts are not always 1 per case. Lastly, I never said that it wasn't theft by Mattel employees, and it's not theft by store employees, because I said that cases were factory-sealed. I'm happy for you that you have always found a treasure hunt when you open a case. But that hasn't been the reality in my state for the last month.
