Hot Wheels 1:64

[generationx]

Continuing the Ford theme, a special “Gold” 75 years edition Escort Cosworth



And a very old Corgi “Rockets” Escort World Cup



I’d love a NIP one of these but they’re getting very rare and expensive.

Not Hot Wheels I know but hopefully interesting.

New to this since when i received my Carrera 2.7RS in scale 1:24, back in December, as a present.

Was adamant i was going to start collecting 1:24 model scale. However, i have now gotten interested in the 1:64 scale models and since picked up a couple of cars from my local Entertainer Shop.

I saw this Carrera 2.7rs, 1:64 model scale, on the Lamley Group channel. Apparently, it's new for 2023 but i can't seem to find any links on Google of where to buy one from.

Does anyone have any purchase links to this or is it not released for sale yet?.........

I'm waiting for this to come out, going to get a couple and do a viper green one as well.

I found this nice 2023 Retro Racers X-Pack RS2000 locally today

I got that from my local Tesco Express the other day.

Had to explain to the 7yo that under no circumstances is he to nick it off my desk!

[Another project]

Does anyone else lose track of what cars they've collected and end up buying doubles? It's getting frustrating, I think I'm going to create a spreadsheet to make sure I don't buy the same car twice

I got a lovely green Volvo 850 estate today.

Also a Koenigsegg Gemera and an Alfa 8C, but the Volvo is the hero of the story.

I’ve done this for plastic models. Very useful.

[Daveb257]

The red or black 8C?

Just bought the Metro 6R4 set, must be mad !

[Sporky]

The red - I didn't see a black one.

I nearly bought Super-pursuit-mode KITT, but the Gemera won - 3 for 2 at The Entertainer. Normal KITT would have beaten the Gemera.

I've not seen any for sale yet. There does seem to be a lack of online sales for Hot Wheels, other than eBay with significant mark ups. It's a weekly walk around the local retail park for me but I have most success in The Entertainer. Matchbox are even harder as it's only really Tesco that I see them sold.

I have bought some from modelmatic.co.uk, but still a mark up

Poundland have lots sometimes

Hopefully we get them soon and i can actually find one. I've only seen 2 online sales for them now in Malaysia. I've seen some online shops here like Modelmatic as mentioned but noticed they have a bit of a mark-up price compared to similar I've seen in the shops.

I've had some success finding some good ones in the Entertainer and Smyths so far. The local Tescos and Morrisons stock them aswell but not seen any that i want yet. Will try the local Poundland as well. Picked up this rather nice 94 Audi Avant RS2 from Smyths....

I've started recently, just buying off Amazon, mainly just to get the models of the cars I've been lucky enough to own in real life, just in case I need to sell the real things on.

I notice my silver RS2 has different wheels to your black one.

[Matt_N]

Got these in the Entertainer this morning, one for a mate

[Another project]

My wife works in Tesco and was recently put in charge of the department that has all the toys and household stuff so I get regular updates on when a fresh box of cars gets put out.

I ordered a couple off Amazon today also. Just collecting some modern classics/classics for now.

Yes the wheels are indeed different on the RS2. I do prefer the style on mine though. I do really like your Bmw M trailer set. Had a look for those but don't think I'm prepared to pay the asking price for those yet.

Picked these up from Smyths yesterday......this hobby is slightly becoming addictive

Thanks. It was irresistible and just had to have it!

If anyone sees another before I find one I would very happily add beer vouchers to the cost and postage.
