Off The Pegs: Matchbox , July 2011

[racegrooves]

@wimanyu If you can't find them in the stores, you can always check eBay.

[captainkmanOFP857]

Wow! Here in Australia, all Matchbox cars everywhere are $2.50! On special they're only $2.

[thienzieyung]

@captainkmanOFP857 Yeah Australia is Matchbox paradise! I went there last few years and I walked into every possible departmental store there, and also Toys R Us!

[HWcollector707]

Wait no i prefer both nevermind

[racegrooves]

@HWcollector707 I like all diecast brands but since Hot Wheels has more different models, I tend to buy more HW's. 

[HWcollector707]

What do u prefer? Matchbox or hotwheels? I prefer hot wheels

[thienzieyung]

ZOMG! Two Audi R8? You've got to be kidding! I want that red Audi R8 so bad! :) Thanks for the tour over the pegs. Love the video!

[smallsnipe]

You take all da coppers?!?! mabye thats why they all gone when i go :P jkjk great finds!

[racegrooves]

@smallsnipe I can't help it with some of the cop cars. Especially the Crown Vic cop cars with the light bars! I don't hoard the MB Ford Police Interceptor,

[smallsnipe]

Do you go to the store like right after they restock?!?!?! mine are always near empty :(((

[racegrooves]

@smallsnipe I just wind up at the stores whenever I get a chance. Usually, it is in the late afternoon.

[smallsnipe]

Dang $1.24!?!?!?! and i thought the prices at target were bad.... its 1.12 where i live

[MRJStudios2010]

That police car is very cool

[pursuedare]

I really wanted the evo 10 police so bad.

[rangerfan143278]

the one thing i hate about pegs is i always knock them all over trying to get to the back lol you are good at not knocking them over

[racegrooves]

@rangerfan143278 I have over a decade of practice =)

[TheJericho1123]

1.24, damn that`s the most I`ve seen them go for at a store, at least those racks were filled.

[HeadshotxBoom]

You missed a bentley and Audi r8...

[1992hotwheelsbaby]

i want tha ice cream truck soooooooo bad

[racegrooves]

@1992hotwheelsbaby There will be a Matchbox 5-pack with another pink Ice Cream truck coming very soon. It is a lighter color pink but at least you will have something to search for.

[1992hotwheelsbaby]

@racegrooves yea theres one five pack with a white one but tha rest of tha cars in tha pack r not really worth it for one car but i may still get it soon

[racegrooves]

@1992hotwheelsbaby That was is not interesting to me. I think you're referring to a white one with like blue and green circles on it. In my opinion, it is really unappealing. Wait for the upcoming pink one because it looks much nicer and it has better models to go along with it.

[1992hotwheelsbaby]

@racegrooves yea that was it just talkin about tha main body colour but tha only other car i liked in tha pack was tha moving truck but for tha other 3 didnt think it was worth tha 5 bucks so yea imma wait for tha pack ur talkn about

[moneshmahtani]

@racegrooves srry that was just my bro he likes to troll

[racegrooves]

@moneshmahtani I ran the characters through a translator and it appeared to not be offensive so I left it. But be careful because I do maintain a safe and friendly environment and if he posts something inappropriate, this account will be blocked and banned.

[trainsrules080908]

i got the gmc pickup and the ice cream truck today i also go the vw zebra car

[racegrooves]

@trainsrules080908 Those are two very nice additions to your collection!

[MyFerrari96]

I love matchbox!!But in itay is very hard to find this model :O

[racegrooves]

@MyFerrari96 Which one? I showed a few =)

[MyFerrari96]

@racegrooves Some model like the american trucks(aqua king,desert thunder...)or emergency vehicle(Like the beautiful dodge monaco)are rare in my country,also here the blister are short and there isn t the photo of the cars.

PS:This days i m going to do a video of my colection ;)

[racegrooves]

@MyFerrari96 I subscribed so when you do your diecast videos, they will show up in my feeds. If I don't comment on any of them after a few days, send me a message in case I missed them. I may not be able to see them all but I will make an effort to see some of them. As for the MB's, yes, they have different mixes. They have the U.S. mix and they have the ROW mix. ROW stands for Rest Of the World. I think short cards are pretty cool!

[MyFerrari96]

@racegrooves ok,thanks to subscrive!

[Lionferrari777]

i got the lambogini muira today iam uplodeing the video now

[racegrooves]

@Lionferrari777 Nice review!

[Lionferrari777]

@racegrooves thanks its one of my faveout car

[ctw100s]

I looked at walmart on my trip to wisconsin dells, and the mostly have the same items. I still did not see the aqua king or the 57 GMC pickup truck. I did see some lesney editions which they don't come with the matchbox cars here in Iowa City. I did see the dodge monaco police yesterday, and the ford mustang GT CS. All I need to find now is the MBX Mover.

[racegrooves]

@ctw100s You mentioned a bunch of cars that you seen but what did you buy?

[ctw100s]

@racegrooves The matchbox lesney edition dennis sabre and the hotwheels custom 77 dodge van. You can see it on one of the videos I will be uploading very soon.

[racegrooves]

@ctw100s The Dennis Sabre is really nice! I have a regular version, probably from the basic lineup from a few years ago.

[jedialixo]

Hey @racegrooves on the side of the matchbox boxes is it like hot wheels like green I t-hunt

[racegrooves]

@jedialixo Matchbox does NOT have Treasure Hunts.

[XXMusicForYouXX]

I'm gonna go off and buy some Hot Wheels because I got $20 bucks from my Gramma.

[XXMusicForYouXX]

@XXMusicForYouXX and matchbox

[racegrooves]

@XXMusicForYouXX Have fun and get some cool cars (and trucks LOL!)

[gamer360100]

Wow 1.24$ i though mi were alot min r 1.07

[jmstanza]

@racegrooves Very nice assortment of MB! I want to get my hands on that GMC pick-up! Nice to see an Off The Pegs vid))

[racegrooves]

@jmstanza It was nice to be able to provide another Off The Pegs video!

[racingmaniac11]

I have that '68 Citreon DS shown at 0:15. I need to have more than Just racing vehicles. (looks at my name)

[racegrooves]

@racingmaniac11 Yes, variety is healthy!

[ctw100s]

@racingmaniac11 I saw that too at target a few days ago, and I decided to pick it up at the store, maybe next month.

[ctw100s]

I recently found the green ice cream van.

[racegrooves]

@ctw100s The light green Ice Cream Van is pretty cool looking. I am sure it will sell just as well as the pink one.

[ctw100s]

@racegrooves Yes, but what does "Off the Pegs" mean in several videos on your channel?

[racegrooves]

@ctw100s Off The Pegs is my branding of when I shoot some in-store footage. 

[wimanyu]

look for the panamera and the aston martin db which have come recently

[jameel989]

racegrooves i am gonna get the green color car in cars 2 and a few 2011 matchboxes. but when i went yesterday to Toyrus i saw 2005 hotwheels i bought 4 of em LOL?

[racegrooves]

@jameel989 Yeah, sometimes people return stuff. In my opinion, it isn't worth my time.

[jameel989]

@racegrooves ok..

[Trikenut012]

Matchbox are cool because they make alot of real cars, only is What kid wants to play with a Prius but I suppose a collector may want it, or maybe if you own one you'd like to have a Matchbox



[racegrooves]

@Trikenut012 What kids wants that white scraper that I shook in the video. Those things are going to be hanging around F O R E V E R !!!

[CrooklynDieCastNY]

havent had time to make vids, but Im still collecting.Got enough to make a couple follow up vids real soon.Good luck on the new location by the way..Atleast you are working.Alot on the bench here in NYC.

[racegrooves]

@CrooklynDieCastNY It is bad all over. I am very thankful to have my regular job!

[racegrooves]

@FireFighterEMT034 Prices are going up folks! They are still a great quality product at that price point.

[CrooklynDieCastNY]

hope you are enjoying the summer Grooves. I ran into the TOY R US IN Times Square on my lunch break the otherday and they were stocked to the gills in MB2011. I grabbed a police car also..

[racegrooves]

@CrooklynDieCastNY I was wondering where you were. I had noticed that you hadn't commented in awhile. The MB Monaco Police Car is awesome!

[sixx369]

@racegrooves Yea.. I understand so its not big deal I don`t want a fellow collector get busted.. Over here in ohio We do have the Dodge Monaco and Lamborghini Miura

[MongooseBikeRacer]

$1.24 for matchbox cars and hot wheels are $1.09 i remember when they were $0.99 or $0.90

[racegrooves]

@MongooseBikeRacer Prices are going up folks! They are still a great quality product at that price point.

[emccurnin]

how could not pick up that Ghia!!! its so nice looking ={

[racegrooves]

@emccurnin I don't think the Ghia will be hard to find. I have seen it a couple times already. I may still pick it up in the future.

[emccurnin]

@racegrooves =)

[martintheman16]

no cadillac cts? I love how you get views fast, I wish I had that

[racegrooves]

@martintheman16 A million and a half views! I will be having my 2nd million contest in the same year that I had my first million contest! My Big Air Jump video has over 30K views. That's pretty cool!

[HotWheelsDieCast]

2:54 I always drop cars! Mostly 10 packs since I have to climb the shelves for the top rows!

[martintheman16]

@HotWheelsDieCast i am 5-8 almost 5-9 and yet I knock over the a10 pack most of the time so do not feel bad about it

[racegrooves]

@martintheman16 The 10-packs are a pain in the butt!

[martintheman16]

@racegrooves yea, you think it wont fall over there it goes, or when you look throught them and the wont get back into play ( they sart sliding)

[racegrooves]

@HotWheelsDieCast It's hard not to knock things off as the singles barely hang on the pegs. I agree with the 10-packs too that they easily tip over.

[WhatTheDuckVideos]

Love the sound of the cars hitting the blister...

And damn that Lancer Evo polizia only comes one per box and you didn't purchase it lol

[racegrooves]

@WhatTheDuckVideos I already have that color of the Lancer Evo Polizia.

[DaddyIvo]

I love the sound of those cards thrashing on the pegs.

[racegrooves]

@DaddyIvo I get requests to do more peg-hunting videos. I just do them if I run into some new stuff and believe me, they had stuff!

[MrNascarfan1]

please watch my hotwheels video i am uploding

[bioniclemoc]

there 2 police matchbox but most awesome mitsubishi police

[racegrooves]

@bioniclemoc I am buying all of the Monaco Police Cars that I run into but I have purchased the Mitsubishi one as well. I think that I have a silver and a blue version so far.

[Lionferrari777]

what ive sean the cars i want are lamborghini muira and that lotus elise looking car

[racegrooves]

@Lionferrari777 The color on the Lotus Elise is awesome! The Muira is nice in yellow.

[Lionferrari777]

@racegrooves i hope i can get the muira as soon as i can fun fact that the labogini muira is based of a women as you can note of the head lights

[sixx369]

Hey Mark, if you don`t mind when ever your out and about can you possibly pick me up one of those 56 flash siders? I can pay for shipping.. I`m just askin though.

[racegrooves]

@sixx369 I can't enter into an agreement with a minor. It's a legal thing. Sorry. They should be hitting your area soon as well.

[stangcrazy89]

dang nice selection of mbx there.

[racegrooves]

@stangcrazy89 It was awesome! The cards all nice and crisp, the cars all shiny and new =)

[yinyinkong2559]

would you mind to have some deal with me ??

[racegrooves]

@yinyinkong2559 Sorry, I don't have the time to deal with international shipping.

[thehogan911]

good thing you picked those up because if someone found you wrecking there store it would not be pretty

[racegrooves]

@thehogan911 I always leave the place in better shape than I found it!

[thehogan911]

@racegrooves Yes, The manager of my local store is my tae kwon do coach, And you don't want to get on his bad side

[iVolkswagen]

1:28 You missed the red convertible VW Ghia! :P

[racegrooves]

@iVolkswagen I could have got a better shot of the Ghia but with so many new releases on the pegs, I wanted to get as much in the video as possible. It still took me three minutes to shoot them all! I was expecting a tap on the shoulder at any time!
