Which place(s) has/have the best Hot wheels selection? and not overly inflated prices.


I'm not looking for real-deal vintage stuff nor the limited/treasure hunts, just a few regular cars from 2011. Did not pay enough attention to the releases last year and the scalpers on eBay are killing me with their prices. :okay:

None of the hobby shops get into Hot Wheels. You are better off going to Toys R Us, Zellers, Walmart, Superstore, etc.

Datsun 07-28-2012 04:02 PM

Yeah. Hoping to come across a more quieter, less restocked place.

On Track Hobbies in Port Moody has Hot Wheels, but not sure how much. I collect Matchbox, so never check closely what's there.

Anyone know good place to get Traxxas Stampede parts?

:D just getting back into the hobby.

Every three months or so, there is a diecast show at the Recreational Hall in Pitt Meadows. Loads of tables with Hot Wheels from $0.50 to $2.00, you will most likely find the cars you are missing there.

Here's the website for show info:
Greater Vancouver Diecast Toy Show

NOICE marking that on my calendar.

MG1 08-05-2012 07:22 AM

Was reading through the latest issue of Fine Scale Modeler eMagazine when I came across this.....


1/32 J7W1 Imperial Japanese Navy fighter aircraft Shinden | Products | Zoukei-mura Inc.

Damn..... what if the Imperial Japanese Navy actually built this thing in time? Probably wouldn't make a huge difference, but man, I've never heard of it. Almost a weird as the IJN I-400 submarine that carried three airplanes (M6A Seiran) designed to take out the Panama Canal.

Battlestations: Pacific/Japanese Aircraft

Check out the MXY-7 Ohka - a manned missle (rocket powered kamikaze aircraft). :fulloffuck:

Fall Show


20% off one item at On Track Hobbies in Port Moody

October Sales

Coupon is at the very bottom of page.

MG1 11-24-2012 05:44 PM

Just found out by reading the latest copy of Small Scale Modeler Magazine that the Zoukei-Mura 1/32 scale model of the Shinden will be re-released. When I saw it, I was like, "SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!"

1/32 Shinden 2nd Edition Ah! My Goddess | Products | Zoukei-mura Inc.

I was hoping this company would re-release the Shinden. New ones of the original production on eBay go for like 500 bucks or more. This second version is not as cool, but all the parts are there, so just need to paint it in WWII colours.


So dbaz, no need to keep looking. I've ordered the kit.

MG1 02-13-2013 10:09 AM

^Most of the hobby shops carry the microscale stuff. I got mine from GoGo Hobbies. They ordered it for me. I've seen it at Burnaby Hobbies and Imperial Hobbies in Richmond. Call before going.

As for Nitro Fuel, Go Go Hobbies in Coquitlam has it for sure. Both for cars and planes.

gn02156668 02-13-2013 11:52 AM

COOL, thanks :fullofwin:

On Track Hobbies in Port Moody is closing its doors for good. Stuff has been on sale for at least a week or two. They are primarily a hobby train shop, but carry static models and other stuff.

On Track Hobbies » Hobby Trains, Games, Models, Paints & Supplies ? On Track Hobbies

Their website doesn't mention that they are closing, but they are. Selling everything from stock at hand to the store fixtures and display cases.


They started off with a modest 10% off and are now at 20 -50% off. I'm waiting for it to go lower, LOL.

MG1 07-27-2013 08:24 AM

Imperial Hobbies Customer Appreciation Sale this year will be held on the 16th, 17th, and 18th, of August.

25% off everything in the store!

MG1 08-29-2013 04:19 AM

OMG, I need to get out more......... saw a set of WWII warships in 1/2000 scale at Uwajimaya, Seattle. Looked up the product line. Amazing micro world.
