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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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