More Matchbox Pickups from the HW Convention 2012

[@racegrooves]

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching =)

[@racegrooves]

The Durastar flat-bed truck is one of the coolest Real Working Rigs! That's cool that you have one too =)

[@racegrooves]

Yeah, Conventions are a great time to catch up with friends from all over the world. Plus, you meet new people!

[@racegrooves]

No doubt! The 2012 Police 5-pack has an awesome selection of models!

[@racegrooves]

I am planning on having special drag racing videos around March of next year.

[@racegrooves]

I am working on a new turntable presentation as well. My checkerboard fabric is pretty cool but it has some draw-backs such as causing reflections on the models.

[@racegrooves]

It's actually Garden Grove but yes, that's the one.

[@racegrooves]

I had to buy the Sydney 2000 Olympics pack! It's pretty cool!

[@racegrooves]

I try to make it to The Gathering every year but it winds up on a bad week. I already talked to Jim Gallegos and I have a multi-family gathering during that same week. Argh!

[@racegrooves]

Crown Vic, one of my two favorite MB police cars!

[@racegrooves]

Yeah, I forgot that it was called the VW Concept models - Thanks!

[@racegrooves]

I opened up a lot of my older 5-packs already so I thought it would be nice to pick these up for video presentations. For the most part, the only MB 5-packs that I still have in the package are the entertainment 5-packs such as Nickleodean, Sega, Sonic, Mario, Robots, etc. Sorry, I don't remember the exact name of the packs.

[@racegrooves]

You're right! I may put that one together soon =)

[@racegrooves]

In April, the Convention will be in Indianapolis.

[@racegrooves]

If the barcode is still in the system, items can be returned. Many stores require that you have an original receipt though.

[@racegrooves]

I'm pretty sure that I picked up a couple of the World Cup 5-packs when they were in the stores but for $4, I will take another =)

[@racegrooves]

Today's video is uploading and will be available in about 40 minutes.

[@martintheman16]

Thanks, I cannot wait to see all those matchbox videos.

[@racegrooves]

Yup, Hero City is ten years old now!

[@racegrooves]

Welcome back =)

[@racegrooves]

It was my first time at Joe's Crab Shack. I can't remember my main meal at the moment but I ordered scallops on the side. They were $7.99 for three but I don't mind as long as they are good. Well, they were the size of a nickle. What a rip-off.

[@racegrooves]

Yeah, I forgot that it was the VW Concept.

[@racegrooves]

@mjlinr Nope. Mattel keeps HW and MB tooling separate.

[@heathkinn]

looks like you had a great time mark...love the old 5 packs...you know me...especially the fire 5 pack and the police 5 pack........i wish i could of gone......but ohh well maybe a convention will come along my way at some point......awesome pick ups.....glad you had a fabulous time.....

[@racegrooves]

I am assuming that somebody couldn't sell those two Matchbox so they figured that they would return them the store and get their dollar back.

[@MedigoFlameX]

Nice grabs! Look forward to seeing the videos of the Super Cars, Racing, and Convertibles. Really wish I could find more of the Matchbox Toyota Supras.

[@racegrooves]

Yeah, some goofball returned some old Matchbox. That's how they were on the pegs in the store.

[@racegrooves]

Yeah, $6 is practically the regular price!

[@racegrooves]

The RWR was a no-brainer!

[@racegrooves]

Yes, I knew that the emergency 5-packs are a no-brainer to pick-up =)

[@racegrooves]

I know MB had a Premier line with rubber tires but I don't remember which models were in the line.

[@racegrooves]

Thanks =)

[@sirmugman]

so quite a good place go to pick up some older cars

[@CrackerJaxx70]

ENJOYED!! Glad2Hear you had a GREAT time at the Convention! Looking forward to some KOOL MBX action!!!

[@racegrooves]

Yeah, I was bragging that I was in the penthouse suites. LOL! But I had just a regular single room.

[@racegrooves]

Matchbox did not release those older cars again. Somebody returned them to the store.

[@marshbjuneb22]

Nice Matchbox! Man, fantastic view from the hotel

[@acbpandafromROBLOX]

Cool, glad you got that Real Working Rigs one.

[@racegrooves]

Thanks for watching =)

[@dragbusdave]

Nice 5packs Mark! I picked up a fire rescue MB 5 pack in that same early/mid 90s yellow packaging at the flea market a few months back, now this vid makes me want to dig it out and look closer at the models that it came with. Man that Police 5pack is sweet! I may have to find that one to go with my fire/rescue 5pack. I also like that Gold shiny Quasar at the bottom of the Futuristic 5pk. Thanks for giving us a look at these cool MB 5pks! I look forward to seeing them on the turntable ;)

[@BusBoy501Productions]

Love the school bus !! Did you know there was a version with rubber tires ?

[@DaddyIvo]

Nice haul, Mark! They had five packs at NYCC but I passed. Kinda regret it though.

[@TreV1234ED]

hte convention was awesome i stayed at the floor below. we still had a good view!:)

[@DavesDiecast]

I really like the International Durastar, and the Police 5 Pack is Great...I think my Favorite is that World Cup 5 Pack.

[@Hotshotmech38]

Nice Civic! Also, how do people return old cars?

[@Hummer2SUT]

Recently I've Found a Couple of Crown Vics MB, from 2007, at a Supermarket, Near a Friend's House.

[@mrdavid0814]

lucky i live by there theres a target a outback or joes crab shack and there is a shoe store right in front man i didnt know it was there

[@hotwheelscollections]

Great video! Nice View.

[@GrimGunRenegade]

Wow Frost Fighter looks awesome.

[@racegrooves]

Thanks for watching!

[@Hotshotmech38]

My favorite packs were the racing and cars of the future pack

[@pajerofan22]

the supercar pack would look great in my supercar collection awesome

[@smallsnipe]

yea there prices are way over priced. We had crab last night for dinner, but we picked it up at Costco and cooked it our selves. :D The crab cost $30 but was enough to feed 5 people. IT WAS SO YUMMY! :D

[@pajerofan22]

the old 5-packs rule. it was wierd 2012 matchbox mixed with 2002

[@datsit1200]

That sydney 2000 olympics 5 pack is awsome mate :-)

[@MGR99]

true true o and y no new uploads =(

[@RudeDude2140a]

If those 5-packs are from 1997, then the Beetle is kind of futuristic because it came out in 1998. :)

[@mrdavid0814]

it was in anahiem right

[@nurquesnetwork]

thank you nice video

[@smallsnipe]

Darn i wish i went to this :( Maybe next year.. :( psst. I LOVE CRAB! haha Great finds though! I am waiting for the Buick police car now, and that should be a good one.
