Was able to source one 😅 at mrp

A little context for anyone seeing this:
I made a post saying, “How are we supposed to hunt for good cars when people like them exist?” It was clearly about scalping—not genuine collectors. I even mentioned that in the description.
Someone then reposted it on Reddit, and instead of discussing the issue, a seller replied saying that if I had the chance, I’d do the same thing and that I’m only complaining because I can’t.
Here’s the thing: not everyone wants to clear shelves and resell ₹179 cars for ₹850. Many of us simply enjoy collecting and want a fair chance to buy at MRP.
This post isn’t against collectors or people making a reasonable profit. It’s about excessive scalping that makes the hobby frustrating for genuine buyers.
If criticism of scalping feels like a personal attack, maybe the problem isn’t the post.

Not aimed at genuine collectors—only at scalpers who buy in bulk to resell at inflated prices, making it harder for everyone else to find cars at MRP.

The staff was restocking premiums, and I found it as soon as they put it on shelves!

Not the hyped ones but those are pretty, aren't they?😭

Btw new to the collector's era.

This is the only f1 premium I have, looks gorgeous! Long time ISO completed for red sf90. Still ISO Red F40🙂

Same as title.

Always wanted the 1:64 version of the silver r34. Hotwheels had nade one in the past few years but i couldnt get my hands on it then and other brands had other issues like not rolling part or it wasnt heavy at all. Decided to make my custom when the first k case r34 leaks came out.Had got my hands on few of the new k case r34s and the first thing I did was paint strip 2 of them. And immediately prime and paint the silver on one them. Coz I had figured out what to do until then. Thought decals would be available online easy. I could get one and just apply. But the prices😭. And what if I mess up the first one. It was a costly business. Posed the same question on reddit and several other hotwheels whatsapp community. Every ath led to printing my own decals. Then the search started. Measured the car a 100 times. Luckily I had few other scale models of r34s.(pic attached). Measured them countless times. Printed on a4 multiple times to check the sizes and stuff. And finally found right size and decal papers and printed on them. Now the tough part. I had lost hopes on applying decals now. I was trying everything according to youtube tutorials. And the final decals somehow managed to make it onto the car without much cracks and tears. Cistomized the interiors and slapped on some real rider wheels too. And I am in love with the final product.

Got this!! Today love this casting color is on point

Don't know why I even did that but I randomly selected my friend's address in Chennai and found this gem in blinkit and immediately ordered it
