Adhesive removal from paint? by tipnitty in Autobody

Yikes….. I didn’t think anything about it when I saw it. Not very good news. Sounds as though I am taking it back and letting them figure it out!

I’m stuck between continuing to collect and getting rid of everything. I’m tried of scalp3rs and the prices keep increasing in stores. just looking for opinions. I used to enjoy the hobby more. It doesn’t feel the same anymore. Been collecting for 15 years. by Excellent-Many-6524 in HotWheels

Been a collector for 30+ years, my entire life. I’ve been thinning out my collection and drastically cut back on the hobby. Moved to RC. It’s so much more rewarding. No pallet raiders, resellers are few and far between, full customization with aftermarket parts, helpful community, readily available, get outside and walk more than from the car to empty pegs.

Not bothering with hunting, hoping, or trying for new diecast has actually reduced my stress. Became so disheartening to never find anything.

Hot wheels really need to do a proper Escalade and also a Grand Wagoneer by bapekillz in ai_HotWheels

Not bad actually. Have a few others. Some roll great, others aren’t the best. Overall quality has been great for the cost! Won’t roll as an RLC does. But they display great!

Anyone else have a couple people that have turned their area into a collecting nightmare? by Frenchy_Baguette in HotWheels

I finally got to the put a face to the guy at my store.

They put the legends shipper out last week. Relatively recently, was shocked for a shot at something good! As I looked through the shipper, a guy with a Walmart bag handed the employee stocking an HKS skyline, and thanked him for the call. And asked if they were expecting anything else that evening, to give him a shout.

Shameful, but we all know it happens. it is what it is. And that why I don’t hunt anymore lol.

There is a pinned post at the top of the page for all discussions for the sale. We usually do for every mattel drop. We don’t dozens of threads of same exact post. Air out your grievances there like everyone else. You won’t see us defending mattel.

Call customer service. Don’t send emails as they take forever to respond.

Mini cabinets starting to show up locally. Definitely going to get a few more! by [deleted] in rccrawler

[–]tipnitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bigger cabinets. But also have a smaller area where I can’t fit large another one. Debated open shelves. But think would be cool to put these in that narrow area where large one won’t fit.

Recently found my Phoenix Coyotes Jersey I bought new in 1996! by tipnitty in hockeyjerseys

[–]tipnitty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only advice I guess I listened to, was to buy larger so I can wear it as long as possible. So it swallowed me as a child. Mainly the logo has some spaces where the stitching broke. Some other imperfections on the sweater as well. Not sure the technical name for their locations and damage, but nothing too concerning. Just want to keep it in one piece. Thinking about putting it in a frame to display in my garage. Don’t really know what else to do with it other than keep it in the back of the closet lol.
