Nope. I'll check the spam folder.

Wheel swap?
Yeah, weird thing is it looks like the old Matchbox Premium now.
In reply to chandler :
It really does!
Matchbox has been stepping things up lately. Got this sweet green Mustang, and a 5-pack containing a Fairlane wagon.
Also some more Hot Wheels Escorts of various flavors, and a Volvo wagon because racecar.
I've been eyeing up that Volvo estate racecar the last couple weeks at the grocery store. They have duplicates so I might pull the trigger.
I got the Volvo estate racer the other week. I got home and my wife adn 5 year old grandson had opened it. It's already experienced 10 years of racing crashes in one afternoon. I need to get another one now.
Not sure how much press these beauties have gotten but I've got every version so far except the "raw" ultra red.
Yellow and blue are retail pieces available at Walmart and Meijer, the green one is online only through MiJo; the ultra red pieces are 3% of total production so 255 each of the yellow and blue versions and 108 of the green version. Pretty awesome!
Same production numbers here, I'm lucky either myself or my brother found most of these in the stores at $5 each, not the $90 folks are getting on eBay for the chase versions.
The "raw" version is bare zamac and has total production of 10 (yes, ten) of each version. They are far out of my price range though I still want them lol.
Grabbed this tonight at Meijer:
I got these from Goodwill
In reply to Aaron_King :
Wow, nice hall.
This just showed up. That can't be what I think it is.
My god, it's full of cars.
Specifically, Miatas. Red, green and blue NAs. There's a note in it from a Miata guy in Atlanta referencing a conversation we apparently had at the very busy Miata Reunion back in October.
So now what I do with 72 Hot Wheels Miatas?
In reply to Keith Tanner :
Have somebody paint them as 72 different FM Miata's?
Teeny tiny little Martini stripes :)

Hot Wheels has a much overlooked 944? I need to look.
BTW, needs Fuchs.
In reply to Keith Tanner :
You guys still doing the "buy a turbo kit and we send a goat somewhere" promotion? Add in hot wheel with an FM persons signature on it.
In reply to Keith Tanner :
Scale Spec Piñata field! We can send it to 3dbotmaker or Volksrodden to send down a track!
I think I can simulate a Spec Pinata race by simply turning the box upside down.
I'm going to have to come up with something creative. I tried to get Hot Wheels to sell me these in bulk when they were first released, but they're not really cool with that sort of thing usually.
In reply to Keith Tanner :
There's a guy on Facebook that disassembles them, puts an uncut Mazda key in them, and puts them back together. Maybe do the same with a bottle opener or something?
I'm not sure modifying 72 Hot Wheels is really the best use of my time!
In reply to Keith Tanner :
If only there was a single place on the internet to find a bunch of car heads who play with Hot Wheels. Like maybe even with a specific thread so you knew who to ask. That would be really cool.

They actually are, it's a LOT of them though. Have you approached them with a brand tie-in? That would be really awesome.
