Just went back to the first store again at Universal and picked a blue fg, 2012 Plymouth road runner, 2002 GT90 & 2000 virtual collection Lamborghini murcielago.

This shop had mostly brand new 98, 99 & 00 first editions.
Pics to come.

I've got a big box full of Matchbox and Hotwheels cars from the 80's and some from the 90's.... 90% of them are still brand new in their packaging.
They are taking up space so I'm looking to sell them.

Its been out for a while but I got my son (ok we share) the original Nissan GTR (Prince?), its white with green stripes in a race version. Cool little car, flared guards, cooler out the front etc.

If anyone in Oz (VIC) see a 2012 Mustang BOSS302 LS let me know, couple on ebay for $10 but not that keen. Just want to know if they are hitting stores here.

Wow awesome haul! I'm yet to see a FG here in Brisbane shops. Are you keen to sell any of them?

I was pretty excited the other day when I finally picked up 2 x A Team Vans and 2 x Ken Block black Fiesta's. They also had a Ken Block car but it was missing the decals on the side of the car. I didn't buy it but I now realise I probably should have.

Still gotta find a KITT.

Instantly - this made me think of the Simpsons episode where Bart wants a particular video game (Bonestorm from memory) and his mum goes and buys him Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge (because thats the one that all the kids REALLY want).
