hmm I always get the 2 confused. I have 2 right now. Not sure if they are Hotwheelz or Matchbox though. One is a 350z police car and one is just the regular silver.

Those are Matchbox. I have both of them too. I found mine at Target. And I believe Target has a sale on Matchbox, $.67 each!

Suposidly Hotwheels is coming out with a black 350 in thier tuners series. Raceline wheels is slated to design the wheels for it. My Z was to carry the prototype wheels on it in the LA carshow next week. The Raceline booth fell through and that's were i've left it. I'm still getting the tires and wheels on a barter deal I did with Raceline for lighting thier SEMA booth. I'll post pix when I get the protos. THEY ARE BAD! In the mean time you can see pix of the SEMA booth on my Z's webpage. The 20's on the car in the photos were on just for the show. Not my taste, but he sold alot of those wheels!

Could be that a certain my350z member is hoarding them in a spare bedroom turned Z shrine.

This is an old picture. I probably have close to 200 of the 2002 First Edition Z's (pictured below), approximately 50 of the 2003 Sheriff Z's, a half dozen or so 1:18 Hot Wheels Z's and a few more of the 2002 three pack set in the picture.

The prize of the collection is approximately ten of the sealed RLC (only 1000 sets produced) 2002 First Edition Z's and one Sheriff error Z that is missing the side decals.

I'll try to post updated pictures of my sickness this weekend.

So... Do you like the Z?

I don't see a copy of "The Run" in your collection. Without that everything else is worthless...

That last picture was over a year old. The collection has mutated many times since then.

Here's a pic for you, grommit. My weak attempt at a Z of Runs.

I've only been able to find the CS and the sheriff version. I'll have to start keeping an eye out for the others.

So what happens in a few years from now when the car gets old and you sell it and find a new love?

No....only the 2002 First Edition Z comes in the 2002 Bluebook pack. Still, a pretty cool addition to the HW collection. Far as I know, there are only two 1:64 HW 350Z's in existence.

Oh wow, looking at your collection again I noticed you have a playboy with a Z review inside, no? Now that is one playboy I'd actually read for the articles!
