Hey, sorry to the guy in the last thread, I forgot I had posted it and it when I came back it was 404.

This time I'll come back and talk for sure.

Post some pics of your good ones, I'd like to see your prizes in there.

>new catalog tomorrow so I expect a new load coming
>clock out time
>I'm told we had 2 cartons come in
>crack open both
>both were old K cases
>rival chain had newer ones but someone else grabbed the car I wanted

Sometimes even having the advantage of being a worker isn't enough.

I just wanted a mitsubishi evo

Were the cars always so XTREME looking or was that just a thing that was carried over from the 90's?

What's your definition of "XTREME"?

I used to collect the Mcdonalds cars as a kid. Pic related were my favorites.

Why are Hot Wheels™ collectors so crazy?

This is actually cool, I really liked Big Daddy Roth cars.

When I was a kid in the 80s it seems like my Mom would get one of these (pic related) in the mail once a month for some reason. It must have been something to do with mail in cereal prizes or Readers Digest.

"Stupid giant chrome wheels?"

"You genius Jim, here are my keys, go to my house and fuck my wife"

Yeah, I did the same thing with a lot of my stuff when I was around 20. I just wanted to be an adult.

You're right, you can't go back, but you can look for new things that excite you like the memory of your lost cars does.

If your story is true just think about the play that kid got out of them while they would have been under your bed gathering dust. He probably got 6 years of enjoyment out of your old cars. That's what they were supposed to be doing in the first place.

And they're little toy cars, it's not like you gave away a Mickey Mantle rookie card or some shit.
