So these are now out (Target).
I have to say the new City Turbo II has to be one of my recent favorites, most favorite maybe, not because I wish to have a FF Honda, but for what ever reason draws us all to Hot Wheels, is why. Feels good in the hand, sharp edges, "It will Keel"




And I got an extra of one of these F&F Chargers that I got just to open and maybe give to my nephew, but that is not happening now. I just discovered, another reason why we all love Hot Wheels, (the discoveries), even tho I prefer to keep them in cards because I like the feel of the card and bubble (its like when you were at the groceries as a kid and you have it in your little sweaty booger encrusted fingers, and running to your parents hoping they will let you get it, those first moments when you find it, picked the one you want out of the duplicates and HOPE, but not sure, if its coming home. That moment is whats glued in my brain, that stuck with me, not when you eventually get home and playing with it and its not that big of a deal, cuz at a young age the word collecting doesn't exist probably cuz our parents don't want us to know, untill we have our own square footage to take up, not there's.
Well I like this because I took it out and its actually great to roll around, on carpet, sheets, rugs, people, etc, maybe because of the long charger body, the larger tires, having the weight in the back, along with the front bumper guard, it rolls very well over rough terrain, plus has loads of detail for a mainline. I know its definitely a peg warmer, but I say this one is so worth a dollar, and I will buy them again.

I popped open one of those chargers too. It seems to have some degree of wheel articulation as well. Not sure if it qualifies as actual old school torsion bar type suspension, but its definitely pretty springy.

Same here, she was so excited about it since she rarely goes hunting. I told a buddy of mine that collects as well and he couldn't help but rub it in

Me: <sends photo>
Me: Look what the wifey found!
Him: Awesome!! She can join us at next months "We Find Supers" Club... I'm sure she can bring a guest if you wanna come as well...

Does anyone have a better way to see which cars are valuable, without having to stand at the display furiously googling?

I look for the numbers at the top. If it's missing a number then it has a 10% chance of being a TH/$TH. The other 90% is Rally Cat

****ing Rally Cat

If you look closely in the hatch, they even cast the city scooter into the plastic.

The packaging says it's one of those ***8216;Experimotors' so that's the feature about it.

Is that it? Also like a lot of the Jdm stuff it's RHD, but thanks I really was staring in the back wonder what it was back there.

What ever makes your heart skip a beat, what ever draws your eye and makes you go wow, that is what’s valuable.

Typically that's how it goes, however I give a lot of them to my son to play with (he's 2.5). Since I found the treasure hunt website, I noticed he has opened a bunch of the 68' Nova's, one 934.5, one 620 and I just saved a 500 oval from being opened lol.

Wait, you've found the Super treasure hunt versions of all those cars or are they just the regular ones?

Just made a quick lunch run to Target and found a bunch of these but no others:

BacDoc, you need one?

Then I went from really excited to really annoyed with the savages of this world.


I topped it off with my first $uper though so I don't even care about the KMART only red RX-7


Now I can open the one BP gave me

Pick up some HW Cars for real cheap, and try to do your own paint jobs on them, its really fun. When I was little, my brother and I used to paint ours. I used to buy about 10 cars at a time, I would swap the spoilers, and the wheels, and paint them, all of my HW are one of a kind, because I customized them.
