Matchbox 40

[obayha]

Had to shop for a frige today down towards the Concord area. Went to every store I could think of and only saw the Zebra 10 pack. Grandkids have enough of the other cars, so I can't princess purchase them for the kids.

Cool - I've been looking for that version for a while...and no luck. I'll have to check the local Wally world tonight and see if the have any!!

 

[obayha]

I can get the Zebra one if anybody wants it.. The pack cost $10.00. The local place here had two packs yesterday.

So whats the Lesney Edition all about?

and what happened to the jungle version? thought someone had a pic up?
at least I know I got one hanging on the wall looks like there are a few more to add.

The Lesney edition is just full diecast, like they used to be. It's a metallic green with silver diamond plate on the rear quarters. Matchbox is printed on the bottom panels of the hardtop...

There's also this 40...

HASBRO - TONKA TREAD SHIFTERS SURF -N- DIRT 1-A Vehicle

yellow and blue were first, then red in the ten pack there is also black with green trim.

be sure to check CVS, walgreens, dollar general, etc. as they get older stock of these.

Here is the Hot Wheels 40 that came out recently...

 

[obayha]

Matchbox stocked the shelves this week. New arrival...
It's in a five pack for Desert Adventure. Grandkids get the other four. Happy Holidays;;;

 

[jfz80]

yeah I owned one of those for a few minutes last night

still got the only jungle edition I know of

For the Holiday season, all the decorations come out at our house. Every room has a tree.. Santa tree in the office, Snowman tree in the second bedroom, Peace tree in our room... This year new tree in the breakfast/bar room. All the toys in one place, hanging out and climbing around. Happy Holidays to what sounds like a great group of people. I have met a couple of you, and if time and money permit, would like to do more in the coming year.
Peace and Happiness

One matchbox + one hotwheels (parts truck) = SOA sweetness

cheapest and fastest lift ive ever installed (on my lunch break)
Still need some silver for the light buckets and to fix the oops I had trying to paint the bezel back white

I think i need to trim here and there and break out the JBWelder to get my wheelbase lined up a little better, but for now shes a dresser queen

 

[dbenke]

Jason, I've got 3 of the jungle editions. Still can't find a Hot Wheels one, though.

 

[jfz80]

Only kidding. I found my HW in a hobby store not even looking for one, and then found the jacked up matchbox to rob parts from right next to it. Ill keep my eyes out for ya.

Yes, but who has the red one other than Clint and Myself? I believe I'm up to date with mine, even with an African Safari Majorette that Heather found me at the flea market... I'll take a pic of my desk at work one day...

And I have extras...

 

[lt1fire]

The only one i'm missing is the red one but I do have two johnny lightning ones, a majorette on and a busch one and ofcourse the blue and yellow hot wheels.

Didn't even realize I had one of those, I can provide a pic for proof.

Also scored HW in yellow and blue.

And Tamiya snap-together Prado RZ and a 100 Series.

O, and an uber-top-secret diecast from a friend in Japan.

I am making a diorama for all of mine. Seriously.
