Grabbed this one tonight.  It's pretty cool.

 

That's cool. I'm a fan of Aston Martin classics.

Do ALL treasure hunts have the rubber wheels ?

 

Nope. There are two levels of modern Treasure Hunts. One is a Super Treasure Hunt. Those all have rubber 'Real Rider' tires and usually better or special paint. The others are regular Treasure Hunts like the hot dog thing in the photo with the Corvette above. These are just... less common than a regular mainline car, but don't have the better wheels and tires. Someone else may be able to explain it a bit better, but this is my understanding.

This is correct; the thing is that most cases have a rarer car than the regular treasure hunt. There is one in EVERY 72 count case, cars like the Impala ss last year are one example with one in 2 of every 3 cases of that code. They have made the regulars fantasy cars most of the time as well which kills it for me.

edit: sorry, this is one of the things I'm a dork about.

I got the kiddo a Matchbox 5 pack of rescue vehicles to play with on her little town rug. Kept this one for myself ;)

I found a Jaaaaaag !

I love the Leaper !

Matchbox has been hitting with some very unexpected cars lately. This thing begs for a Super Stock or AFx treatment. Behold the 62 Plymouth Savoy.

Those wheels / dog dish hub caps are outstanding.  They really complete the sleeper look.

Desk "cars":

My E46M3 came today:

A few ones my father-in-law sent me. He knows I have a bit of a VW obsession. 

In reply to Volksrodden :

That's the E36 M3!

In reply to Javelin (Forum Supporter) :

The e36 had the squared off headlight, witch I do like more. This is a casting of the e46 the rounded off body lines gives that chassis away at first glance.

It's *the* E36 M3, not *a* E36 M3.

I do have a casting of a e36m3, gear looking car too.....and it's a great looking one too

Doing a little organization with the collection today and came across the e36m3, I really should look for more of these. There is a newer release with the Fast and Furious sets

at a local hardware store today I picked these up

I always find cool stuff when we go to Walmart while on vacation.

Got lucky at target yesterday. They had two sets of one through five. I only bought these three, now regretting it, I should've bought a full set. The others were a Porsche 911 based race car and the Mazda electric prototype concept from a couple of years ago. They didn't appeal to me as much, but I wish I bought the Porsche for my Porsche collection.

I have been hunting for this one for a few year now, I was able to score it with a local friend/collector: the Audi RS6 Avant

Is that Off Road Rally a new Matchbox series? 

I just snagged the Matchbox Chow Hound 2 food truck. Still can't find that dang Hot Wheels Dajiban Dodge Van anywhere! 

I need all of those rally cars

Popped into local Tarjay today and I finally found the Hot Wheels Dajiban Dodge Van! One of the tougher ones to find. Snagged an Erikstein Rod as well. 

Snagged a few Zamac cars. Syclone now comes in blue. The GTO and GT40 are hawt.

My wife was pointing at me when this happened on "Resident Alien".  I told her that I do, indeed, have that one.
