Just thought I'd share

Never realised how detailed these Autoart models were. Got to see about 14 different models but the Bayside Blue in the sun was jaw dropping.

Sweet! Want to start a collection soon with these same scale models. Maybe I'll start with the SF1000 with the Burgundy livery.

I was wistfully looking at some Matchbox cars in Pennywise the other day.

Question: Do those cars still come with doors, trunks and engines that can be opened?

It did not seem so from those that were in the boxes.

Seems to be a new set of Hot Wheels on local shelves and they have some real lookers. Got a Mclaren F1 in orange the other day.

So now I have the F1, Speedtail and P1, though the P1 isn't a Hot Wheels.

^^^With that being said

I picked up an AE86 from Pennywise a couple months ago for the regular $20 price. Maybe 2 weeks later I saw the exact one for $400 on FB Marketplace. Scam or hidden treasure...who knows.
