    I went to 2 Wal-Marts after I left work today. Picked up -

    White F430 Spider - found 2 at the 1st store, but some kid wanted one. Ended up finding a 2nd at the 2nd store
    Green Lambo Murci - Found 1 at each store
    Yellow 360 Modena - picked up a few
    Yellow 288 GTO - Found a few at each store. I still need more. Can't say why.


    Here are some more pic from my collection -

    1. 1996 #496 Ferrari 308GTS 5 spoke Wheels Oriinally sold the only 1 I had to another F-Chatter, then found another recently
    2. 1996 #497 Ferrari Testarossa Lace Wheels
    3. 1997 #570 Ferrari 355 5 spoke Wheels

    The first 2 cars were originally Corgi castings, and I was so glad when Hot Wheels dropped the original Corgi castings.. The 348 Corgi casting they first used was even worse. Here are a few examples in the 2nd post.

    It's funny how so many HW's Ferrari's have goofy little errors or rare variations.

    Here are a few common errors and variations.

    FE red 156 #2 or #36 on side (36 harder to find) / vari
    Silver 575 GTC rear wing loose / error
    Blue 512m Racer big and small 6 on door / vari
    Yellow GTO no logo on nose / variation error
    Red 575 GTC wheel vari (10 spoke htf) vari
    512m hunt metal and black base variations (Blk VHTF) /vari
    and the list goes on...and on...

    The 512m hunt black base variation is my favorite by far! I also really like these two which I'm currently trying to get.
    -Yellow '04 360 "Heat Series" w/ PR5's variation
    -Black '06 430 Spider w/ black int variation


    I just traded for these two variations yesterday...

    250 GTO w/ painted vents variation

    and

    250 LM w/ silver base variation. :)

    I like the painted vents variation! Picked up an Orange Go-Kart yesterday and finally found the F430 challenge mystery car which was awesome. Still keeping my eyes open for the new spyder variations.

    Sweet! Ya I didn't know about it either until another collector offered to trade it to me. I believe the black base is the normal variation and the silver base is harder to find.

    Nice score!

    Ya, I've been looking for the painted vents vari for a while now and finally just decided to trade for one. Now I'll probably start finding them everywhere! :D

    All I have left to get out of those five is the Yellow '04 360 w/ PR5 variation and the Black 430 Spider w/ black interior variation.
    Hope to get the Yellow 360 next week...still haven't found the Black interior 430 tho.

    I remember when these were originally put out by Hot Wheels. I had bought the 328 GTS and the Porsche castings from a collectibles store when all the Corgi Castings had been released. That was back in '96. That is what started me collecting. I was up to more than 2 or 3 thousand in my collection. But I collected more than just Hot Wheels then. But another collector pissed me off in Wal-Mart one morning, so I sold everything off. I didn't think at the time to keep all the Ferraris, Lambos and other exotics. I have slowly been getting them back for the last 3 years.

    Here is what I need for my Project -

    288 GTO - Red & Yellow
    250 GTO - Red
    FXX - Red, Yellow & Black
    Any White Ferrari
    Any Green Ferrari

    If anyone has any of these, Hold on to them, don't go out of your way to buy anymore unless you want to. I have a bunch of extras that I will get posted when I get my office straightened out.
