I need those two Jada Cheyennes that came in the sets,black w/flames and the factory two tone.
Not a truck or a toy,but check this collectible I just scored.It`ll make a nice backdrop,doncha think?

Redneck-Mafia · 04-25-2008, 01:50 AM

I don't know if anyone has these yet but I picked it up yesterday in Hong kong!
That $14.90 is in Hong Kong dollars....still about $2 USD.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 04-25-2008, 02:27 AM

I have a couple. The came out in the K-Mart special cases. WES

fatboys69 · 04-25-2008, 03:41 AM

I scored one of those last week at Wallyworld. They look cool, I took the surfboard out of mine

**special-K** · 04-25-2008, 05:03 AM

They`re sittin`at Walmart.Man,you`d think skipping the slow boat from China would save you a few pennies or yen,not double the price.Is Chinese food more expensive,too?

It's funny that some things are more expensive and they shouldn't be. We were at a street market today and a guy wanted HK$150.00 ($150 Hong Kong Dollars) for a pair of Van's sneakers. That's right at $22 USD. I told him "listen homeslice! I pay $20 for those at the Van's store in San Diego California! Why would I pay that here in a street market?" Needless to say, we couldn't agree on a price.

I'm here on business and was at a store with the wife and now you guys have me so hooked on the little diecast trucks, I always look for them and I found this one here, who could resist the back story when I display it in the garage?
I'm just glad I didn't buy them all thinking they were rare!

And yes, good high-end chinese food is expensive. The question is, would you eat the cheap stuff?

Later,
Dave in Hong Kong

90\87Formula · 04-25-2008, 06:17 PM

Y'all need to watch the stores for this Hot Wheels color variation of the Custom '62 Chevy. Oh, to remove the surfboard, just pull them straight back; not up.

90\87Formula · 04-25-2008, 06:26 PM

Cool find there Tim.
Looks like one of the paper advertisements that would be on the side of those old wooden crates that vegetables and such used to be shipped in..

I put my Jadas in some extra factory packaging to help protect them and they look cool displayed like that too.

That's cool, I remmeber that video game. One of the old light gun arcade shooters.

**special-K** · 04-26-2008, 05:30 AM

Robert,that`s a good idea.I`d like to see an ochre & white body on a High Roller frame.

**special-K** · 04-28-2008, 01:04 PM

A silly little something I picked up at Carlisle.Not 67-72 and not diecast.It reminds me of a toad for some reason.This guy had some nice vintage pressed steel,like Tonkas and Buddy Ls.He had chopped and sectioned this out of a GMC semi.It`s just funk,GMC,and I had to have it...

msgross · 04-30-2008, 03:43 AM

I just picked these up at Carlisle, I know the red one is common but haven't seen the others....

Jerry Brown of truck shop out of TN gave my boy the silver one for free...

hgs_notes · 04-30-2008, 04:03 AM

msgross, congrats on building your toy collection. There are 8 different Johnny Lightning blazers so far. If you go back through the thread here, you'll see them all.

msgross · 04-30-2008, 04:15 AM

I wasn't in the mood to look at 24 pages so I went and posted.... lol

**special-K** · 04-30-2008, 04:38 PM

^^

Dang Gov`t Mules

^^

I think they`re all pretty uncommon.I got all mine except the latest silver issue from board members (because I wasn`t too lazy to look

) since I just never came across any in stores.Swap meets are another good place to look for a couple extra bucks.Going against using gas to find them the prices aren`t bad.I never checked,but I believe these JLs are fairly limited production.

Hook'em · 04-30-2008, 05:44 PM

Now you just need to locate the blazers in the White Lightning versions.

**special-K** · 05-01-2008, 12:16 PM

Got pics of any?

Hook'em · 05-02-2008, 12:16 AM

I don't have any pics. They are the same as the ones you already have, but they are fitted with white tire, white interior, and/or a white base. The only thing that makes them any more sougth after is that there are so few made. They do it with most of their cars. Out of the Blazers, I don't believe they have the White Lightning Version in the white park ranger version. Do and ebay search for White LIghtning and you can find some.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 05-02-2008, 01:01 AM

Here is a picture of all of the Blazers including the "white lightning" versions. Like Hook'em says the park ranger version doesn't have one. I also have the new John Deer Blazers coming soon. I can't wait to add those to my collection. I have quite a few extra white lightnings if anyone is interested. (Not cheap though) I also have several extras of all of the Blazers pictured for sale, along with the little Hot wheels stepside pickups. WES

**special-K** · 05-02-2008, 04:36 AM

Hey Wes,you should get into collecting little diecast GM trucks.

Thanks for the picture,I mean collector`s guide.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 05-03-2008, 05:03 AM

Some have told me I am obsessed... LOL I will try to post a picture of all od my display cases together tomorrow...lol WES

**special-K** · 05-03-2008, 12:35 PM

Thanks for the warning.I`ll prepare myself to be amazed.lol.Obsession has gotten a bad rap.It`s healthy to obsess on the right things.Keeps us from worse things.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 05-04-2008, 12:37 AM

I don't know if you should be amazed!!

If I had all that I have on display, then I might even be amazed...

Here is the picture.. WES
By the way, this picture doesn't even have the two display cases that I have for the pixar cars diecast caricatures. WES

**special-K** · 05-05-2008, 03:59 AM

I`m amazed!!!
