Let's help RC2 decide the next 12 Auction Insanity cars.

Here's a link to the Barrett & Jackson auction site. There are a lot of cars already posted for 2007. So let's pretend we are part of the RC2 research team. It's are job to come up with 12 cars for release 2. Post the pic of the car/cars you chose. Also the cars you pick should already have a cast.

Unfortunately they charge extra for the Auction Insanity series. I would rather they just put the cars in a regular release. Personally I could care less how much a car sold for at auction.

True on your first statement. That series don't deserve a price increase(get rid of that stupid paddle). But remember some of those AUCTION cars were JUNKYARD finds and restored. I don't know about you but I get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside thinking about that. From crusher to $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Not to mention that AUCTIONS determine what cars are worth in the eyes of COLLECTORS.

Missed them when they first came out; but happy to find 8 to 9 pieces at TRU the past 3 weeks at $.97 each. Even got a WL '69 GTO. So I feel lucky.

For some reason I didn't think it would. But I'm sure some of your customers would disagree with you. I know I would want want a before and AFTER diecast of my car. And you do great before reps. It's a shame you can't see beyond that.

Very nice, but I collect the WLs with the regulars typically, and the WLs were so scarce I passed on the series altogether.

That's a shame you missed some nice cars in that series. One more reason not to care so much about those W/L. Thier just plan evil(JEEPERS CREEPERS evil).

On a side note that JEEPERS CREEPERS truck would be cool.

Well I am a slave to my collecting practices now. I have tons of nice cars so I don't miss the ones I don't have as much. The completist in me died in 2002 when I stopped collecting the entire mainline of Hot Wheels.

I can think of a car. JL makes a '67 Corvette casting. How about a numbers matching L89 vette? (427 w/ 3 deuces) Not a lot of them around and should command a nice chunk of change.
