Zedd_68 0 Posted August 7, 2012 Thought I start a new thread...seems to be picking up one or two on the hunting/finding trip.Today's (2012-08-07) is a very nice though, IMHO OK, let's start with the 'star';and his 'sidekick' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zedd_68 0 Posted August 7, 2012 ..Now straight to today's (2012-08-07) 'excellent find'It says "CHASE'...and I'm like...wow!The Card is shot...but so long as the pertinent info is intact..and the car is undamaged...grab!This car was designated no 117. There was the 'standard-issue' one which is designated no 12. Didn't pick up that one, coz have this according to the info at the back (and I quote)"Chase vehicle comprises LESS than 1% of vehicles in this assortment"SO in other words rare..probably rarer than superized HW... The tampo, paint job, finishing are of course much better than the standard one (I had the standard one side by side for comparison)Then I saw this...also designated no 12;Ramone in different livery/color! wow!With previous color changers picked up, no have 3 variations (one special )THEN...at another outlet I saw YET ANOTHER livery/tampo...this time darker green..well, perhaps that's incentive to go back and grab it...soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zedd_68 0 Posted August 9, 2012 Cheers Officer 8...Actually, some of them are 30% to 70% off. Case in point, today's ARTIE (the one with the headphone..broadcaster i think) is 25sen shy of RM10 Go hunting, also keep me eyes on this too. Some are unfortunately retail, so yes...oouch!

Zedd_68 0 Posted August 10, 2012 "Hydraulic" Ramone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zedd_68 0 Posted August 12, 2012 Many many thanks for the assist Officer 8; shouldn't have, but a gentleman you are...cheers Note: the 'error' wheel on Artie (blue car with rear big wheels) seems to be 'widespread', so i attribute that to either a:) purposely-designed or b) mass production error, so of no significant added value Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not like 5 years ago, [only] cost RM 19.90. I got rojak Cars townies enuff la. Then migrate to their Toons range, only to be disapointed. Some waves never came here. If got also only 1 or 2 place got. Wanna find Ebay, the price for 1 already goreng Rm 500 per car. I really wanna burn down Mattel for that. Can i put my CARS collection pictures here or not?I saw this pic, like you should call it "Battle scar Mcqueen" and put RM 1000 price on it on Ebay. hahaha.

spiritdust 0 Posted September 12, 2012 Race-o-Rama is a pretty old line Not as old as some of your desert series...but is pretty hard to find..Sometimes you can still find some Cab with ROR cardback The space line is the new series call Take Flight..The best one will soon availableIt is called Aviator Mater (The scene where Mater learns how to fly from Air Mater)Nice collection you have there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have a habit of not letting you complete your collection. Especially the last 2 or last wave. It happened with Vintage Racing, Cars Toons Tokyo Mater, Hot Ones. And its all latest some more. Send letter to them it went to Fisher Price. Fisher price forward to them, 6 months later still no news. In fact i get better response from a condom supplier company than them.

I ought to agree with you, it seem like collectors all over the world shares the same thoughts on mattel. Yeah, is a shame that Mattel did not complete the toons line. The toons like got lots of potential but they sparingly released afew cars from each shot. Some even went missing as shown from the collector guide.I very sakit hati... few weeks ago i get the 2012 collector poster from jusco but 99% 2012 new models yet to available here. We are only getting case A of 2012.. 10 months since we last seen new deluxe but Singapore have since then gotten 5 new deluxe....and many more new 2012 cars.Is not like it doesnt sell. They sell but sigh.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
