That is simple awesome!!

I've been looking round heaps of shops in Brisbane and I still haven't seen a 2012 car.

I wanna get the white FG, knightrider and the A team van. Hopefully one day I'll get lucky.

I have found some really good scores from time to time at various Crazy Clarks and Sams Warehouse in various places, they are only $2 or less at these shops too

Woolworths are currently having a sale on Matchbox and Hot Wheels @ $170 each. Scored a sc willys th, blue commodore ute on a 2012 short card and a Caterham in black duco.

the green XB coupe? released as a mystery pack? never seen them for sale here...

Riksta · 31-03-2012, 01:20 PM

I've gone off the idea of collecting "every" car released each year, now I usually suss the shops out every now & then and grab anything movie or tv related, any treasure hunts, any supercars (especially Ferrari) and of course anything Ford.

stalker · 31-03-2012, 03:37 PM

yea im the same, if i see a TH ill grab it, but always looking for the XB or FG's

fakegt · 01-04-2012, 06:46 PM

Here's my young blokes Hot Wheels collection, out of the packets and played with!!! Grandad knocked up the garage for him. When we get home from cruises or shows he recreates them with his cars.
Most of them are old school 60s and 70s muscle.
Cheers, Dave

yea i just said that in the post above.. i havnt seen these anywhere apart from ebay US which state they are in a mystery bag..

StarDeala · 05-04-2012, 04:53 PM

Just a heads up that my local ToysRUs store had a great little booklet outlining the 2012 range, including picks. Great if you have a little collector in the family, or to keep in the car to remember what ones you have gotten already.

GSfalcon500 · 05-04-2012, 10:11 PM

The green XB is the second color of three for 2012 look out for a red one later this year.

stalker · 06-04-2012, 06:43 PM

gsfalc, is it possible to get the green one in box or does it only come out in these mysterybags?

That's awesome.
It reminded me of when I was young my dad built me a BP Servo. It had the fuel pumps, the mechanics workshop, rooftop parking and even had a fully done interior including little people. It had all the correct signs stuck all over the inside and outside. Plug it into the power point and all the lights lit up on the inside and outside.

That would of had to be the best car related toy I had as a kid. I wish I still had it.

The green comes only in the bag , only at Walmart , so dont expect to find one in Australia. Will have to ebay that one.

stalker · 07-04-2012, 01:00 PM

homegrown · 10-04-2012, 08:37 PM

Are defects worth collecting?
I found this Caddy missing its front wheels.

Qwik6 · 11-04-2012, 12:36 AM

huggiebear · 12-04-2012, 12:24 AM

I checked my regular 67 and it seems the card numbers are the same. The th should have the red wall tyres, non spoked rims, the th logo on the rear quarter.
