Got a bunch of cars at the Flea Market today. The big yellow one was $2, but the others were about half 25 cents and half $1.

I couldn't believe I found the first blue truck cab in someone's random car jumble. Is is missing the cement truck drum off the back, but it is still a vintage 1970 red line Hot Wheels and is worth more than the 25 cents it cost me. The super deformed little red Lancia Stratos next to that is a pullback car from the same series as the SD Porsche 911 I've had since I was a kid. Below those are a dark green and another red Stratos. The next 4 are all ridiculously distorted cars. The Maroon is a flattened Chevy Nomad, the blue is more or less a tall Skyline with huge wheels, and the white is a distorted Jackrabbit Special. The large yellow one is Tom Daniel's Ice T design and is really detailed with rubber wheels.



3 dune buggies, 2 Ferrari racers, a Ferrari 308 targa, a 308 GTB, an Alfa Romeo Carabo, and an old Hi-Raker Corvette split window.

Very nice classic Skyline that just came out recently. The 2 beetles are older sealed ones from the late 90s that I picked up at Arcade Expo randomly.

Damn, I can't seem to find that Skyline.

I did pick up two of the red 510's. They were just sitting right next to each other in Yoy's R US.

I'll get it eventually.

Found a pretty sweet Motorola MicroTAC 550. Phones sure have come a long way..

Damn, I can't seem to find that Skyline.

I got mine at Target.

To follow up on my South Park find. This is a Wave 3 Special screening VHS and cartman notepad. There is no print or writing or barcode so I'm not sure what this is or if it has collector value. Maybe a giveaway? If someone here knows, chime in.

its possible that its a giveaway from the studio to a potential academy award/goldenglobe/oscar voter.

it probably said 'for your consideration'

Stuff like this is given all the time to those people. I see stuff similar to this sometimes.

And what do you do when you dont want it? you donate it to a thrift store, sell it to a pawn shop and other stuff.

Its one of those things that may or maynot be worth anything in a few years.

Only time and demand will tell.

Looks like a promo that was sent to a video store in order to get them excited and convince them to order tons of copies to sell in their store. We got them at the store I worked at. The 2 coolest ones were Gungrave and Night Watch. Still have the Gungrave box and t-shirt and I have the complete Night Watch box.

Came with 2 glowsticks, LED flashlight and batteries, plastic shotglass, light/dark card, metropass card, t-shirt, poster, metro poster, sticker, and a letter and card with street dates for the DVD on it.

Wow that's really cool. Maybe I'll hang on to this and let its possible value go up in the coming years. Thanks guys.
