Reminder of the previous message
Went to Walmart yesterday and i guess somebody is messing up with the packaging because i found
Funny as its clearly not the good ones ( i have the both Corvette,same and Chevelle,gold, they are Hot Wheels ) but sad as it looks like its a new company ( at least, i never heard of them )and we can't even see the real product
Did somebody already bought some car from them ?
btw..Star Wars cars...did i missed something or there is no cars in Star Wars ?

M2 Machines isn't a new brand. I've bought most of mine in 2009, during my holidays in New England.

There's the Land Speeder...
But yeah, those Star Wars Hot Wheels "cars" are horrible. And they're so expensive ! 9 euro each instead of 2 euro for a standard car. Ridiculous.
Nice.....like the 1958 red Plymouth....a lot...
Star Wars cars about same difference here : 5-6$ ( before taxes ) instead of less than 2$ (taxes included )for a regular Hot Wheels..

Don't know if you saw this already but you might be interested in this one too....
Nice... do you have more movie-related cars ?

Recently bought, '91 Caprice 
(1:43, "Best of Show" make)
Also, the rare Maserati Quattroporte II (same maker), I wonder if some day we'll get one on IMCDb (even if that looks like a luxury Peugeot 604)
a more common Maserati Quattroporte III ("Neo" make)
a Maserati Shamal ("Whitebox" make)
and a Isuzu Piazza ("Norev" make)
Last time, in addition of the AMC Pacer posted earlier, I also got one more Saab:
I already had many, but not yet that version of the 99 Turbo.

Must be a strange thing... a 1991 Caprice wagon which doesn't take much space..
They are very nice... wish i still had some place available... or that i had started collecting 1:43 instead of 1:18 and 1:24...

I saw them at the ModelCarWorld site, but I'm wary of resin models these days. Especially those of cars with rounded shapes, because the windows, made of thin plastic, often look too flat, and the photo-etched trim tends to come loose after some time. How's the window fitment on your Caprice wagon ?
I didn't touch much, not sure if they are solidly attached I'll check visually if they seem well attached.
But indeed I'm a little afraid on how all these models will age. Not only resin ones, as there were also problems with zamac.

I bought last month a KITT from Hot Wheels... well, two, one is still in the packaging . Not perfect of course but still, a lot of details for 1.45 $ ( taxes included )
Still better than the one i had when i was a kid. It was from ERTL and was nothing else than a regular Trans Am with a red sticker in front and ' Knight Rider ' stickers on each rear fenders

Thanks to my working colleague i started collecting RC cars (again!).
Today i received my 2008 Suzuki SX4 WRC #Toni Gardemeister in 1:10 scale.
Currently it still has "road" tires but i already bought rally tires and my colleague wants to help me change the car settings to rally configuration. Bigger springs, dust protection, etc.
