What I do is just open duplicates or Matchbox that come in a box and store the box, and if you keep them in a case like this they'll stay mint so they still have decent value.

Wow. You guys got some massive collections going on. I tell you if I had that many out on display my wife would KILL me lol. I always found more fun in playing with em than collecting em though. Still some cool collections.

Sweet! You found a couple Fox Birds I don't have. I'll have to keep an eye out for those.

Here's a rundown of last month's finds. :hick:

Upgraded store display that can hold 320 cars or 384 overloaded. This was another freebie score. :bowdown:


Easter T-bolts, sorry they don't come with cassettes.




The Mystery cars are Superbees and a GTO.


I made a trade with my dad, these for some of my older Hot wheels. (He has more of these than I do.)




The Mystery car here is a GTO.












These came in the mail.


I was at Ace Hardware picking up some wood screws, and I decided to look through their time capsule Hot Wheels again, and picked up a few for .69.

Sorry for the bad cell phone pic.


At the checkout counter, I asked the cashier if they had anymore, and he says "Oh sure we have a couple of boxes in back." :wtf: :bowdown:













This makes 88 mainlines from 1995-2004 that I've found at Ace Hardware. It's crazy.

These I found at Walmart.




The Mardi Gras, Clovers, and the Vintage Racing Boss 302 came from Kroger. The others from Walmart and Big Lots.

Here's the latest Fox bodies I got. For the most part the foxes are the only ones I'm collecting anymore.

Nice finds! I think the Majorette is the best casting of the '83-'86 Thunderbird.

Good luck, it's the hardest of the regular line to find right now. It took me weeks to find the 2 I have.

I NEED THAT ONE!  I have a coupe (67) and prefer it to the fastback everyone is in love with.  Trying to find a coupe model of any sort is dang near impossible.

You found that at wallyworld?  I'll need to go look.  Then I need to get some blue paint.
My car is a gravity hybrid.  The gasoline engine gets me up the hills, and gravity gets me down.
