SWEET!!! Never seen the blue JL Shelby

Ray Man

Nice Bill. I gotta find those for "For Sale" Stangs!

Here's my new additions:







Hey Luke, can you direct me to the listing of these G Machines on the South Texas Diecast web site? I can't find them.


Sorry for the thread highjack Bill.

unnoticedtrails

Hmmm sorry ray I think Southtexasdiecast.com only does mainline cars...but based on your photos I think you have most if not all of the Mustangs!!

05Blackbeauty

Ray, where did you get these G Machines at? I have never seen them before at any stores.

DarkFireGT

Good finds. I found that JL Shelby myself at Walmart the other day.

fmgl

You lucky dog!! I like the JL Shelby... I'd like to see Fresh Cherries do a large scale Mustang II

Ray Man

I got those on SleezeBay. I saw some of the "G Machines" at WallyMart this morning but none were Mustangs. The yellow label series is from 2006 and the red label are from last year. I found 4 more colors of the "G Machines" on the web today. I think that will finish that particular collection (I hope!). I'll post them when they come in.

They also had a ton of the HW Mardi Gras but none of the Jada "For Sales" Mustangs.

Ray Man

Mainline = 1:64 scale?

unnoticedtrails

Yeah, more or less...hehe sorry that means more of the cars that are the stereotypical hotwheels/matchbox car size. G Machines are 1/50-55th scale.

While Jada CLAIMS their small scale cars are 1/64...they are really more like 1/55-1/58.

Ray Man

Got 3 more G Machines today, 2 more on the way. I think that should be the entire collection. I hope so, haven't seen any other colors or models so far.

05Blackbeauty

Cool.
Whats your name on Ebay? Since I am now into the collecting part, I figure we are all going to be going up against each other at some point on items and I don't want to drive up the price on anyone in here if I can help it.

Maybe we should all post our ebay names

Ray Man

Mine's pretty easy to spot... raymanthemustangman

FYI, went to WallyWorld last night and almost all the Mardi Gras were gone (not just the Mustangs, all of them!). I was shocked, there were hundreds a few days ago with separate standing displays.

05Blackbeauty

I stopped by a Walmart on the drive up to DC on Fri and it only had 4 of the Mustang ones, needless to say that I bought all 4.

I will be stopping at 2 other ones on my way back down tomorrow. Hopefully, they will have some good ones to choose from.

btw ebay name = redskynfan

So don't bid against me & I won't bid against you

Stopped at Target today to buy some new frying pans & came out with these babies.

1 Badd Rides: (yes it's purple!)







Greenlight additions:





AllStars Elite Transport - 1993 SVT Cobra & Transport:

Ray Man

How are you going to cook on those?!



I like the purple one!

05Blackbeauty

Very carefully

Ray Man

I picked these up at Toys R Us yesterday. I know that they are not Mustangs but for some weird reason I couldn't resist. Never owned a VW before but these are so intriguing. I love them!



There are 2 more supposedly out there somewhere. A '52 Beetle and a '67 Bus Pickup. Can't find them anywhere so I assume that they will show up eventually. Hope I didn't miss them completely. Oh well, I guess that's what EBay is for.


Hey Bill, if you see any more of those "For Sale" Stangs anywhere let me know. I want them badly! Thanks!

05Blackbeauty

Sure thing, I'll even keep my eyes open for those other VW's for you.

Ray Man

Found these at Toys R Us yesterday.



(I also found the purple BR )
