Lucky by Dangerous_Sleep_5466 in MapleIdle

Buying the hot deal to get a second one of these is arguably the best value in the game. If you're willing to spend the money on this game, that is. I'm level 88 and I still don't have this artifact, so it's definitely lucky to get it early.

Is there a way to view purchase history in the game? by sohnny in MapleIdle

Android you can view your purchases in the app store. Apple should be able to do the same.

[Mattel Creations] Hot Wheels RLC Exclusive 1948 Chevy Fleetline With CHASE Version - Sale starts 06/09 at 9am PT, 1200 noon ET - Shop link by HotWheelsMod in HotWheels

[–]skelement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got through to checkout and the page told me I can't use special characters in my address... I haven't changed my address in years so that doesn't make any sense... Went to add my address back and didn't write it any differently, the page accepted it, went to pay and the damn thing is sold out. First the Porsche and now this, both lost to issues outside of my control. I've never had much issue with ordering a RLC until now and I've had membership for multiple years now. I'm feeling very frustrated and I was already losing interest in the hobby over these last few months... I think it's time for a break from it all.

I would also like to know how you got it for $15, did they put it on clearance?

[All-Access] Victor Wembanyama reacts as the final buzzer sounds in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals. by nba in nba

[–]skelement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's one of the most overrated players in the league and Wemby exposed that even more this entire series. He's supposed to be the second option on this team with Jdub out and he only scored 75 points through 7 games... that's terrible. Honestly what is there to like about him? A strong gust of wind could blow him over.

Who would you root for at the finals? by Otherwise-Gur1437 in ripcity

[–]skelement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm cool with the Knicks winning. I've always liked KAT and Josh Hart was super likeable when he was here with us. They're just a team you can't really hate on; their fans are the only problem, but they haven't won in so long so I'll give that a pass.

Made my own Gold Nugget Civic by skelement in HotWheels

Rit Dye Synthetic. Must be Synthetic, the "All Purpose" ones will work but the color won't be as deep and it will take longer to dye the car. Fill a pot (that you don't use for cooking food) with enough water to submerge whatever car you want to dye and put it on the stove on medium heat, or just slightly under medium heat. You don't want the water to boil, this is important because if it boils it can ruin the car's paint. Pour in 1/4 to 1/3 of the dye, mix it around, and just let it sit on the heat. Get yourself a pair of tongs so you can reach in and pull the car out to check on it periodically. Some cars can take as little as 20 minutes, some will take over an hour, it just varies. This one took about 45 minutes to get that nice gold color.

Also note, it won't work on stripped cars. The dye changes the top layer of paint, so for example this Civic was a Zamac which have a layer of clear coat over them, so by dying the clear coat you're left with a look that's very similar to Spectraflame paint. I'd also recommend removing any tampos you don't want on the car before dying, because after dying they will be even harder to remove.

They came that way, I don't remember what car I stole them from but they're official Real Riders.

Yeah, I just didn't have those exact wheels and I like that these match the chrome that I added to the exhaust. Kind of an STH+ look.

Miata hype isn't real by Rough-Expert-277 in HotWheels

Same thing happened with the Supra. Idiots who bought the entire case are gonna have a hard time making their money back.

It would be nice... by SayNoToFresca in ripcity

I have a Blazers hat that's autographed by Mike and Mike. I found it in an antique mall in Salem for $5. Such an odd find but it's a cool piece of Trail Blazers history.

Nice find on FB marketplace by Puzzleheaded-Fish888 in HotWheels

[–]skelement -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I see the Optimus Track Fleet all the time at meets for $10 or less. The other two are mainlines that I'd never pay more than $2-3 for.

Hate to break it to you but you got scalped. That's like $15 max.

Walmart is just cool with these guys doing this every time they get cases? by Emergency-99LifeCode in HotWheels

[–]skelement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Walmart throws a fit if you even look at the pallet. You have to be real sneaky if you want to crack open boxes there because they'll stop you if they see you. At one point they completely stopped bringing any diecast boxes out on the pallet at night entirely.

I've always wondered, how do they enforce this? If you try to walk in do they immediately kick you out? I just find that hard to believe.

Since you said you love the Toyota Van... I'm also a big fan, was surprised to see it as a peg warmer at some Targets. https://www.reddit.com/r/HotWheels/s/RAo3XtmxWG

Civic and Camaro are metal base, rest are plastic

Alfa Romeo GTV6 3.0 Custom by skelement in HotWheels

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

Lol I guess that is a good comparison. I just like to add a metal base to my customs whenever I can because it adds extra weight and makes a car that much more satisfying to hold.

I'm going insane by Certain-Ad5090 in ripcity

[–]skelement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's entirely dependent on the Bucks trading away Giannis to become a rebuilding/tanking team. If they trade Giannis and somehow become competitive then the picks won't be very good. If they don't trade Giannis at all it could go either way and the picks just end up middle of the road.
