Nice little haul there. Don't recall seeing that colour of the Datsun Z before, but I think it's one of those castings that has been around for some time and has been available in many different paintjobs. A bit like the Datsun 620 pickup or 510 wagon.



I picked up these odds and ends at a couple of local toy fairs yesterday. The surprising/interesting one turned out to be the green Datsun Z-Whiz - I know nothing about older HWs and it turns out this one was from 1983. Online sellers are offering them at rather more than the modest amount I paid....

It's a 2018 model. The website below lists Hot Wheels models with images and info for every version, which is either really useful for information or really hazardous to the wallet, depending on one's willpower to eBay-impulse ratio.

Another recent one, a matchbox ( still owned by Mattel)….the details are a bit chunky, but I like it


Seen with a couple of recent purchases

Thanks for this link , great resource for checking what models are in each group/set.

[Geoff391]

A bit of purple and green from Aldi

Another haul off the net of 911’s to add to my ever growing Porsches really want to wall mount them somehow if anyone has any idea would be appreciated

[Sporky]

Blimey - I've never even seen a 911 in a shop.

Hey all. Just wondering if any of you guys know of a good source for specific hot wheels cars?

I think I’ve gone and lost my son’s Fast and Furious ‘Tooned’ Supra, and having watched the new Hot Wheels cartoon on Netflix, he now wants the Bone Shaker!

Obviously if I Google them, I come across a bunch of sellers but do you guys use anyone in particular (shops or eBay perhaps)?

Ta.

I use modelmatic

Are matchbox collectors welcome here? Or separate thread???

The shop that I linked on page 17 should be able to help. “Top Gear”

Excellent, I've found all my old ones while clearing my mum's loft. it's got me hooked on collecting them again. I have some hotwheels but mostly matchbox due to the styling of hotwheels vs matchbox

I'll get some pics up

I popped into a different B&M today…it was a rich seam of good stuff not seen in other local shops

[Geoff391]

Local Tesco always lets the big blue box run right out before replacing it with a new one. So at this weeks visit there were more 5 packs than individual cars. Usually they don’t have enough interesting cars in them to warrant buying but this time there was this one with a nice mustang , Nissan and Renault Megane racer.

Hopefully a new blue box soon with something nice in

[JackReacher]

I was pleased to find this but the premium hotwheels and matchbox cars are not cheap!
