Tiger Wheels Preview Edition White GNX's

Okay.....supposed to be only 100 of these....

I've got two of these....

Post if you've got 'em .....and how many.

All the diecast collectors on this board should account
for at least 75 of them.

98 left.......

Haven't seen any for sale on Ebay in along time.....
As far as what they're worth.....whatever someone's willing to pay...
If people pay upwards of $100+ for White Lightning Regals, then these should
command prices at least the same if not more. Just my opinion.

Limited issue does not always command top dollar, IMO.

Sure they're nice cars but I don't think that many people outside of the "Hot Wheels Racers" that know about these Heavy Cars from Puerto Rico.
The JL cars seem to have a huge following thus higher prices.

Had 10 sold 2 down to 8. No, I will not sell. Waiting till they hit over or demand $250 each! Could have had 36 of them but only bought 10 I think I paid $15.00 or $20.00 a piece for them. Sold one to 6BQwiks buddy. Still in package. Might be selling everything soon though?

How could you have bought 36? Did you just get in early? I ordered (and received) two but the woman on the phone couldn't guarantee that I would get any.

When you get on the Tigerwheels home website they have a dist. in S. America or where ever it was, been a while. I was told by another avid collector of GN material that they were being produced. Anyways I called the # and they said they had 36 white ones 1/100 and how ever many black 1/1500 I wanted left. So not knowing much at the time about them I bought 10. Put 1 on ebay and it sold for $76.00. By the time I called back they were gone. Since then I sold 1 other to 6BKwiks friend when they came over. Sometimes a little investigation work pays off. Thats Like the Booth Machine clear bodied GN's I have a few and would not sell to 6BKwik at the time. Looked them up and found that someone bought all the molds and still produces them. They cost $10.99 each but have to have so many made, to make it worth while for them.


You know you can get on many manufactures home pages and find out what is coming up or going to be produced soon.

What is a Booth Machine? Can you post a pic and describe who made it and where/how you bought them? Next time you hear of a new GN with only 100 of them being made, EMAIL ME!!!
