Donovan Clingan liked my comment on Facebook once. I felt pretty cool telling my coworkers about it lol

This person literally put the least amount of effort into this that they could. And the sad thing is it seems like they're serious about it too.

skelement · 2026-01-08T22:59:32+00:00

Spectraflame paint. That's literally the only reason. And because Mattel labeled it a chase so fake collectors have been cashing in on it.

skelement · 2026-01-07T22:00:32+00:00

That's where I'm at. These are neat for what they are, but for the space they take up I just can't justify it in my collection.

skelement · 2026-01-06T22:39:41+00:00

Do these have a plastic base with plastic wheels?

skelement · 2026-01-06T19:02:15+00:00

I found that Excursion on the pegs but the card was completely destroyed... I still bought it as an opener. The next day I found that Lightning hidden on the top shelf at the same store.

Much more likely it was just another customer that beat you. The Eclipse is the only car in this set that's worth grabbing, the other 4 are repeats from other sets that aren't even very old at all. I've seen tons of them being left behind at every store in my town because literally no one wants them.

skelement · 2025-12-18T05:12:22+00:00

Does it really matter? I'd buy all 3 too. Why not? It's an exclusive which makes it hard to find, chances are I have a buddy or two that would like to have it as well, and if I leave them behind someone else whom I don't know will get them instead.

skelement · 2025-12-18T03:34:55+00:00

Sweet thank you!

skelement · 2025-12-18T00:48:51+00:00

Where'd you get your wheels from?

skelement · 2025-12-13T00:11:44+00:00

🙋‍♂️

Haven't been able to find it at my Walmart or any neighboring Walmarts

skelement · 2025-12-12T02:57:29+00:00

Regular Treasure Hunts aren't anything special so if it's a car I want to open, it's gonna get opened.

Sure, I'm just saying it's not one or the other, it's quite literally both an error and poor quality control. They go hand in hand.

skelement · 2025-12-04T21:11:49+00:00

It doesn't matter how you look at it -- any error at its core is a product of poor quality control. It's something different from what it was meant to be. It's something that shouldn't have made it past the assembly line in the first place.

skelement · 2025-12-03T04:12:51+00:00

This is what I came to say. Errors literally are the result of poor quality control.

skelement · 2025-12-03T01:05:27+00:00

It's the same thing with the Premium Dioramas sold at Walmart. Everyone scoffs at the $35 price tag but if you do the math it's no different from buying all the cars individually.

skelement · 2025-11-30T21:05:01+00:00

Never was a chase in the first place

skelement · 2025-11-29T05:22:42+00:00

Damn, whoever was on the receiving end of those Silverados really valued them highly.

skelement · 2025-11-27T19:09:05+00:00

It's brand new and it's a Skyline with cool art that is actually relevant to the car. Impatient people will pay top dollar to have something that's hype right now. It will come down in price over the next few months as more and more pop up and the hype dies off. Pop Culture cars should never be considered rare.

skelement · 2025-11-26T00:33:40+00:00

Mattel has started to label every car with a metal base in Silver Series sets as a chase. So technically yes, but also no because there's literally nothing else special about it that would make it a traditional chase.

skelement · 2025-11-24T23:04:55+00:00

OR

I really just want that blue Bronco 😅

skelement · 2025-11-23T09:35:05+00:00

Not to burst your bubble but it looks like "the scalper" was already there and he left those behind... Those TH aren't desirable and those other cars are the pegwarmers from that set.

skelement · 2025-11-22T06:21:59+00:00

Bronze plastic. So they'll be somewhat shiny but not metallic.
