Ok, so if you know me, you know my dream car, like many, the Nissan Skyline GT-R. Doesn’t really matter what version, R32, R33, R34, it’s all good to me. It’s technically not really legal to have a real Skyline here in America, so we make do with the best we can do. I even recently purchased an S14 240SX because it’s very easily to swap over an RB25DET Skyline motor and transmission, and a simple matter of a body kit and some headlight/taillight swapping to finish the complete transformation.

But I have, for years, been trying to track down, in person, the Hot Wheels Skyline model. And tonight, unexpectedly, in the most unexpected place, Big Lots, I found it. Lots of them actually. They had been hiding in storage. So I bought the entire stock of them (it wasn’t much, but there were plenty, pics are not ALL of them, just the gist). I also got my hands on the new ‘09 GT-R models. I didn’t buy as many of those.

I opened one of them to place with my other collection of cars I have either owned or want, the rest will be saved until one magical payday on eBay.

Sorry for the shitty pics, I was in a hurry with my camera phone.

Thanks to Big Lots staff for looking around in the back to find all of them for me.

I gave some to friends who had been long hunting for the same thing. All in all, a fun night!
