    Hobby Lobby store?

    I pretty much discounted Hobby Lobby as an arts and craft store a long time ago. Although, now you've all got my curiosity piqued. Guess I'll have to stop by one this weekend to check it out. Anyone need a miniature bench with geese carved into the back while I'm there?

    07' HW Exclusive Viper

    Re: 07\' HW Exclusive Viper The one listed on Ebay above is already up to $7.80 with shipping for what looks like a typical $.99 Hot Wheel. The car itself looks identical to the current blue card coupe. That's a $6.80 piece or cardboard and counting!! Oh yeah, Viper tax, got it. :p

    07' HW Exclusive Viper

    Re: 07\' HW Exclusive Viper Haven't seen those yet in stores here in Columbus, OH. Yet. Would be kind of hard to miss given the bright red card and all. BTW, what the heck is "Exclusive Assortment"? Same cars on a different card? You'd think they could at least change the wheels or...

    Car show classification

    Entered my first and only show this summer. Was a local event sponsored by the Camaro club with proceeds going to a children's charity. Event was open to all makes and models. They only had a few "top" classes such as best in show, best Camaro, maybe one other. They awarded plaques to the...

    Anyone got this 1:64 Viper?

    Went to two Walgreens today. Never really thought of Walgreens as a place to buy cars. No Vipers of any type. I don't recall seeing the "Speed Wheels" series anywhere else. Must be unique the them.

    2008 Viper

    According to the October 06 issue of Hot Rod: "The rumors around Detroit are that with the help of McLaren, the V-10 may grow in displacement from the current 8.3L to somewhere around 8.5L or 8.6L with a commensurate rise in output from 500 hp to, agad, 650 hp." I hope the h*ll they do this...

    Diecast trends

    Bburago went bankrupt? How did I miss that? Are they reorganizing or gone? Wow. You know, what a bunch of crap that the auto manufacturers are squeezing the modeling companies. I can understand a few bucks and wanting some say so, but that's it. The modeling companies are promoting their...

    selling Viper and taking a 2 yr hiatus

    Good luck with your sale. I hope you get every penny of your asking price. Even in great condition, with the mileage approaching 20k, market is probably closer to 49k. AGAIN, please hold out for 50k plus for the rest of us. If the car is clean, its worth more than that. Ditto on the Gen II...

    Diecast trends

    Anyone notice that there seems to be a trend away from 1:18 scale and towards 1:24 scale? I've noticed at stores lately that traditionally carried a lot of 1:18 (ie. Toys R US) that there seems to be more and more 1:24 available vs. 1:18. Still a nice size but cheaper I guess. Anyone else...

    Gold wheel HW B/W 06 Coupe

    Absolutely fascinating. I never noticed the 05 vs. 06 thing until you pointed it out. Wow. B/W silver wheel Coupes are everywhere in Columbus, OH. I checked my doubles and I only have one 05. Actually, I've never seen a gold wheel B/W Coupe here. I bought the one I have on Ebay in a multi...

    Gold wheel HW B/W 06 Coupe

    Came across this the other day. Hot Wheel "Ultrafast" gold wheel 06 Coupe. I've seen a ton of the common silver wheel cars (3rd pic) but very few with the gold wheels. Nothing like a few variations to sell more cars!

    New Colors SRT-10 Viper 1 Badd Ride Series 2

    "Of course the first thing he did was open it and start rolling it on the carpet." I wonder how many of the $3.00+ models ever get opened? I'll bet at least 90% are still in the package. My son, has several dozen of the "more expensive" ones that he actually plays with. Mostly Muscle...

    3.33 gears rock!!!

    My 3.33's are still sitting in my basement. Acquired from the "found" lot of 10 sets or so this Spring. I had a long talk with Devon from Unitrax. Delay after delay after delay. They were way, way off as of this Spring. Jon is correct that the "new production" story has been floating for a...

    Will the non VOI registered public have access to the Vendor area? What about a VCA member who is not registered for VOI? Thanks,

    Viper watch

    For $5,500 I could buy 550 of the $10 watches. If I wore each one for a week and then threw it away, it would take 10.57 years to go through them. :D :smirk:
