Can't wait for the new cases to come out too. And yes, it will have the Subaru Impreza in them!

Hit a Wal-Mart this morning that had those cases out. Lots of S2000's but no Supers. 👎

In any case, I walked away with $12 worth of cars (13-14 cars) and will post pics tonight.

Also stopped at the same Target that got me the Treasure Hunt last time, and found another one. :dopey:
 
OH MY GOD!!!!! Dat HW livery 240Z is beautiful! :eek:👍

Great find Wilson, I'm a keepin' my eyes out for this little gem.

Just stopped by my local walmart as well. There wasn't much interesting... No Impreza, S2000, or T-hunts. The dump bin was over flowing though, so might take a while for something interesting to pop up there. Bought about 5 cars today, will post pics later. What's the treasure hunt this time? :)

I had to run and grab a shopping cart so I could go through the whole thing.

Current TH's are the yellow Shelby:

I'm so anxious...

Big flea market tomorrow. Have not bought in a month to save up for the majorettes a guy is bringing. If Cano recalls, I bought 22 last time and the guy said, "oh I have boxes more I'll bring next month." :nervous: :D Awesome!

I do recall. Buyy the oldest the guy has, and any and all Renaults! If you happen to see a R5 Turbo, I'm all up for it.

I hit the flea market as well, and scored $10 worth of trash. I mean it, they are mostly Jada wheel donors, a few projects and a couple Wellys. Will have pics.
 
Been realy sick , im good now. So some new finds I found are the impresa , some exclusive cars at wallmart that say hotwheels on the window and more ill post pics , its good to be back
 
@R1600: Nice find on the GRB and AP1 AEM. I have to find the STi soon. I'm jelly.

@Medigo: Cool cars bro. Thaks for uploading the Z4 GT3 race car.

I WANT Z4 and STi NAO!!!! :drool:👍
 
The AEM S2000 seems a pretty good foundation for a race car custom, using the stock livery and adding up detailing and tampos. I'll try my hand when it hits the stores here.
 
I cant wait to fond the Sti and the Z4 down here. Im hoping to get to the same flea market that my last purchases came from tomorrow if its not raining. There were a couple of guys selling new cars still in their packs and a few selling loose cars so I hope to have some more cars tomorrow
 
If you don't see new cars at Walmart, Kmart, or Target then Toys'R'Us definitely won't have them. I think Toys'R'Us actually skips case codes. I stick to Walmart and Kmart for new cars.

Haven't went on a hunt in a week or two, so I thought I'd go Thursday. Decided to check out my gold mine of a discount store that puts up Hot Wheels from the 90's. Then headed over across the street to another mom and pop discount store and finally found a 2012 T-Hunt. :)

This is all my wallet let me have.

Oh ok, I can see why. I've mainly been finding older models at Toys R Us. If only the closest K-Mart wasn't about an hour away... :(

My purchases today from Toys R Us. All the other stores were rather disappointing.

I keep finding good models at the "impulse" aisles. (The aisle right before the register) Rather annoying when you're about to purchase your stuff and find something more desirable. :ouch:
 
Stopped at another Wal-Mart on the way to a movie. Wheel error S2000 sitting right on the front peg so bought that and a few mystery cars. Will post pics when I get home. 👍
 
You wanna see my loose Hotwheels? Then prepare for a mahoosive post that broke the planet again for having over 200 pictures. I'll add in the rest that I removed sometime tommorrow after I've had some sleep.

Very cool post Car-less! I am not as jelly from this post as for your other as I'm not missing a single one lol, I have every car you've posted, altough maybe in another trim/color variation. In any which way, it's still cool to see. you have a couple redlines there that are in very VERY good shape, specially the Tri-Bay in magenta, hard to come by in that color in such a good shape.

However, there is one car that I think might be obscenely rare, that Real Riders silver Cadillac. I'm not an expert by any means of the car made and sold only in France (as I more or less am of the ones for the mexican market, because I'm here, duh), but as fas as I know, the silver Seville was indeed only offered in France but only with blackwall tires, with Real Riders it was only offered as a "Masters of the universe" Club car and is astonishingly rare... but then again I don't know, because yours doesn't have the hood tampo of said club. Do you rememebr if it had a big, blue tampo in the hood at any time?

And I never knew there was a Mercedes 540K Color Changer. Cool. I'll keep an eye out for that one.
