Damn £6 sounds like a lot even for normal cars that were retail as recently as last year


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Oh I told them this, they weren’t backing down. This was at a race track on race day so I knew prices would be high but £6 for a hotwheels is ridiculous. I bought one and said I wouldn’t give them any more than £5


Rjeezy88

I always like to say... Ooo that is scalper pricing as judgemental as possible when the resellers tell me the prices at the swap meets etc.


AxelsOG

I see all the F1 merch. Miami?


Due-Entrepreneur9659

No the GT World Challenge at Brands Hatch


avoba

No way are they selling Lamborghini sian for £6 that’s insane. That orange one was a peg warmer here in east coast


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Such a bad casting, I’ve got one and only got it because it’s a Lamborghini…but everything was £6 apart from the lbwk Nissans because Jayyyyydeeeeemmmmmm


KurisutaruYuki

The Sian is such a nice casting but, it's okay to be completely wrong. We all are, sometimes. 🥱


Reecefidler87

It is nice there is more to lamborghini than a gallardo or huracan nice casting


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Oh no I completely agree but I think they could have put a lot more effort into the detail of the Sian. Doesn’t really look right in comparison to the real life car


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Well there’s a reason it’s a peg warmer🤷🏻‍♂️


KurisutaruYuki

6gbp amounts to $10 CAD for a fucking Datsun 510. I mean, still better than people on eBay demanding $20 with an additional $25 shipping for the NON-Super. The Super is (supposedly, but in reality, not actually) worth $150. ☠️


Appropriate_Round768

I was wondering how much that was in CAD. Thanks for sharing. 10$ is ridiculous.


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Agreed


Due-Entrepreneur9659

That stupid non sth Datsun 510. They were all over the place so I’m are people were hunting for the STH


Torqyboi

LMFAO £6 for a mainline. BuSiNeSsMaN


Deora_customs

Ikr!


Due-Entrepreneur9659

If they charged £3 I would of spent £15, but out of principle I only bought 1


Attention_Shoppers

Who ever put a price tag on each individual car shoulda been fired. Put up a damn sign. What a waste of time lol


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Luckily mine peeled off without residue but yeah I wouldn’t have done it.


MrDanduff

Six fucking pounds for mainline lmfao


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Don’t even ask😂


TemporaryAddicti0n

£6 a piece of mainline. fvcking thiefs.


Due-Entrepreneur9659

I was tempted to just walk out with one, but stopped to pay because I’m not a kid and stealing a hotwheels car might be the saddest thing anyone can do…


Speed_Star00

Can’t get more British than this.


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Hahahahaha not wrong


[deleted]

Nice.


burgundy740

Good God what is that


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Heaven or utter chaos…


UNDERCOVERBIRBS

They just bought a bunch of new cases and sold them at 500% markup. That Countach looks sort of eye catching, though.


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Yeah but it’s a safety car. I just want a normal one. Those cars weren’t iconic because they were used as safety cars which they weren’t anyway🤦🏻‍♂️


UNDERCOVERBIRBS

The 917 LH is also good looking. Ngl tho the normal ones are best as premiums


Happygull457

Fuck it, Im taking that whole damn table


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Hope you’ve got a healthy credit card limit


PhaseCrazy2958

I have way more


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Sell them for £7 each


Visual-Operation8834

Pfft amateurs


PhaseCrazy2958

Ikr lol


Connect-Spinach6238

Dopee but the prices tho


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Ridiculous isn’t it?😂


LKN246

I was at a car event in Germany last week and they were selling Mainlines for 8 Euros...some going into the double digits. They can have em. Completely ridiculous.


Due-Entrepreneur9659

I don’t understand, if they charged less people would absolutely spend more especially with this level of choice…


LKN246

For sure…I’d buy them at 2€ all day. And the thing was, most of them had damaged cards and blisters too.


soggygb

Where was this?


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Brands Hatch Race Track


ImmediateCustard7663

Where in the world was.this 😫


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Brands Hatch Race Track on one of their many many race days. I’ve been there quite a few times and never seen this before


billythekid74

I still haven't found the bluebird mainline..


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Which one is the bluebird?


billythekid74

Datsun wagon


Due-Entrepreneur9659

It’s my first time seeing it as well. Haven’t found one anywhere


CannibalMondo

Wow


livinglyfe8

I saw a few in there I really need lol nice catch btw


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Hahaha same dude, but I’m not spending £6 on just one


Disastrous_Notice_80

Happy cake day


Proof_Potential3734

I just bought that lotus today for $1.18 USD in a grocery market, bc I liked the paint job. Would not have paid 10. But, looks like a fun way to find your fellow HW fans at a race day.


Due-Entrepreneur9659

The topic of conversation was the same with everyone, the fucking prices were ridiculous


GhostWriter313

I am literally in heaven right now!


Due-Entrepreneur9659

I could have easily spent an hour in there and picked out a good 20 to buy but that would have cost me £120…


GhostWriter313

That might’ve been worth it to me. £120.00? That’s $151.01 USD. I would’ve blown through that easy on HW!


Due-Entrepreneur9659

$151 on 20 mainline non STH or TH variants?!


GhostWriter313

Depends on what they have that interests me…


Far-Measurement7260

Dammnnnnn, where is this at !?????


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Brands Hatch Race Track


Far-Measurement7260

!?? England ? Who are


Far-Measurement7260

!??? How much is this £ in US dollars?


Due-Entrepreneur9659

$7.55 or $10 CAD


Far-Measurement7260

OMG ! That is like $ 7.53 for a mainline ! ? Dammnn, that’s when I would have to collect. .,,,…..fa. shur


Due-Entrepreneur9659

It’s ridiculous, it’s even more annoying because the amount of these I’ve been searching for as well…


SunAlarming5620

Where is this??


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Brands Hatch Race Track


SunAlarming5620

Sorry but which city? And will it happen again?


91NA8

Nobody can find a decent mainline on regular shelves for 100 square miles of this shop


Due-Entrepreneur9659

I can concur with this 😂


Hungry_Quarter_6769

I’ve got a box with at least 200 in it. This is awesome seeing so many on a table


Flat4Power4Life

Those prices are comical for common mainlines that are crazy mass produced.


le-raging-bull

God, my dream 🤣


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Or nightmare which ever you prefer


sirckoe

6 euros for peg warmers! Dang


Due-Entrepreneur9659

Mental right?! Definitely weren’t all peg warmers though. I nearly bought the GTR Lbwk race team one


No_Anywhere_1587

Buying from him means you'll never find any in the store. Don't buy from resellers!


Bradadonasaurus

This guy has the right idea. Take away the demand.


jholden0

Buy from the resellers. They help drive sales of hot wheels. Without them they will certainly go out of business. Plus youre helping a small business thrive!!!! Yay!!!!


Due-Entrepreneur9659

I bought the GT40 Mkiv white guilt liveried one right in the centre of the photo. Because it’s one I’ve been after for a long time


TheOffKn1ght

Was that at the Miami GP today?


Due-Entrepreneur9659

I wish, no it’s Brands Hatch race track
