Found these today finally at my local Asda. Been searching all over for over a month. Reluctantly ordered them for an inflated price on fb yesterday , and today, i find them at my local. Always the way, isn't it!

I think I just got a little bit more excited than a grown man should at seeing advan sa3rs on a toy honda civic

I think it is the 2023 G or H case that is hitting stores now with some of the best mainline castings in.
I found the green civic, both Porsche’s and the RS last night in Morrison’s.

There is a Mercedes Benz AMG 560 SEC wide body in black in the G Case, that is really cool that I am still hunting for.

I'm after some of the HW Escort Mk2 rally cars but they are either part of the low loader set or a Boulevard collection and expensive.

Hope they release a normal version soon, so many decals to draw for them.

Modified loads of HW, aswell as other brands. All of them should be here. Some decals are bought & some I've drawn myself.

The G Case hasn't hit the shops yet to my knowledge. I've only just started seeing the F Case on the shelves in my area in the SE.

Definitely got to get my hands on that Mercedes, the 88 Honda CRX and the Honda CB750 CAFE motorbike. That will be the first motorbike in my collection. Very retro!

I've had 2 sets of them over the years one for my third mk2 mr2 and one for my MK1 mr2 which were very rare in 4x100 pcd

I've seen both white and red mainline versions in the shops this year, can't be long before they're on eBay:

A couple of acquisitions from a visit to my local Tesco Express last night. Apologies for photo glare.

Update on my Alfa Romeo GTA searching from UK sellers on Ebay .

The first car I spotted on auction went for £18 plus £4 postage
I then found another on buy it now at £15 plus postage with a creased blister card ....still for sale .
Just had another look ,a buy it now for £38 plus postage ....but in my preferred colour scheme ,it's local to me ,I could save the £2 postage by going to collect LOL

All of the above means I have mostly given up trying to collect any GTAs , so I have had a splurge and bought a few other cars , a lot of other cars .

I will post pics when I have them all here .

I have a white matchbox Alfa Romeo GTA in white loose on my desk for many years, it’s a great model.
Do not give up.

Currently searching for the Mercedes Benz AMG 560 SEC wide body main line hotwheels, this is a fun hobby.
I enjoy the hunt. Brings back memories of searching the racks as a child.

Nice.....you need one of these to go with the mr2 but do a wheel swap on the Matchbox and it'll be perfect!

Got the AMG now amongst a few interesting others recently.

The AMG is probably the best mainline I've collected this year. Don't usually collect motorbikes but i love the retro design on that so had to get it.

After being lured into this thread recently I delved in and started my collection last week. I now have the below courtesy of ASDA and Morrisons. They are on my desk at work so my wife doesn't find out! (Though at £1.72 each in morrisons its not an expensive hobby! (for now!)

Oh wow you got some great ones to start! My Asda are rubbish in comparison, not seen any of those in there.

Yeah having read a few things I was very surprised to find some of the ones I did! The pininfarina Battista was from Asda, the other four were morrisons. Must have got lucky as they had only just put a new box out so got first look at them all!

I hope you've got a big desk because you're going to run out of space very quickly

Had better luck in Sainsbo's, picked up a few I'd not seen before. Here's the highlights:

Nice little JPS style livery


This cool wagon with a clear bonnet


And this Knight Rider concept car I've never even heard of
