This car is actually Ford Shelby GR-1 Concept. I saw a few of those in HW series, but stupid paintjob made me decide not buy one. Same goes with Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, I can't find any other but violet/purple with some lame stripes...

More of the GR-1:

I could never remember the name of it. I've even seen it in person one time, when the car was still new(or newer).

I'm going to a shooting range out of the area this morning, and there is a Walmart like couple of blocks away from there. If I don't accidentally shoot myself(it's 3:24am and I'm still up lol), hopefully I'll have new addition(s) to share with you guys. I have almost every new cars I want, so chances are, it's just gonna be another redline STi, which I think looks awesome!

Yep, you're hooked locoman. Welcome to the club. :cheers:

Now to find rarer cars like Super TH's or cars, error cars (cars with obvious or wierd deformities) and cars with the redline wheels. You have to have a sharp eye when browsing the cars to find that rarity.

If you need help ask anyone here or on the HWC forums and look at the YouTube vids of other collectors to help you out. 👍

I'm jelly of you! The 80's AE86?!?! :eek:

ARRRREEEAAAGGHHH!!!!!!

Phew! :embarrassed:

Yeah, it's easy to spot the differences between the two 599s. Since the OH5 are obvious since they are slimmer than the 599 on top and you can see the black piece acting like the car's rotors and brake calipers.

I need that 599XX sooooo bad.

They all look cool, espically the F40. Is it a HW scale? I've never seen that one before and I had quite a few of them a long time ago.

I have the same GSX Buick also.

O_o..............

Mindblown.... 45 bucks for the Ferarris? Umm, okay? :odd::lol:

Yeah got to agree with you there. Also saw a furai, but was in a package.
 
The furai in the 3 pack looks more badass tho, the new faster than ever wheels are just plain stupid looking, but in silver they look decent.
 
Funny you say that because thats the first time ive ever seen good cars at that walmart, besides the 914boulevard car i passed on last month.

Commerce k-mart and target seem to have fresh batches every now and then. Then theres frank & sons :) gonna make a trip tomorrow hopefully

Alright cool! I prefer to just go to stores rather than ebay because of getting them easy. The albertsons in hacienda heights has good ones. Ill post pics later when I'm out of school. But they're like $1.24
 
Ive gone to the ralphs in whittier and they had a good selection as well, but like you said its pretty expensive. I work at vons and they sometimes have good ones, but theyre 125 or so too. A lady ordered a cake and bought some hotwheels to put on top. Lol she picked the LP540 gallardo and shelby laguna seca; decent eye lol

hopefully il but KITT .. and the mystery machine ETC ETC
 
Damn. After shooting range, I stopped at three stores along the route. 2 Walmarts, 1 Fred Meyer(Kroger). Walmart really let me down. They didn't have one car I wanted I already have, Freddy's had a couple, but I got just this one:

I think Jason posted a link to this series awhile back, been looking forward to seeing it. It is PERFECT, but 🤬 expensive at $4.49. :crazy: They also had the Mercury I was interested in, but considering the price, also the ugly wheels they come with, I said no thank you. Did I mention the car looks perfect? I love it.

Edit: Found a pic of the Mercury. Ghetto wheels. :yuck:

The Ralph's in downy by the free way has the Bentley and new Vett
Well today was my lucky week, i found three t hunts but not at big retailers 👍 Seems that from now on my t hunt to go spot will be keped secret
an yways tomorrow i MAY go to franks n sons ima try to sell a T HUNT to teh guy who sells t hunts * a whole booth and there mostly 3-5$ with the exception of the nicer ones wich are upwards of 100$
But all i need right now is the angry birds car , the mystery machine, the bat and kitt Any one im my area seen thees? i know the bat came in teh same case as the viper and the Walmart I hit up had none :ouch: lol
PS Walmart in paramount right across the freeway from downeylanding has the RED lines and vipers! i left a bunch behind, there was cars of the decades ETC
 
I didn't know they had redline Vipers! I'll be on a look out for that one, too.

Edit: Nevermind. Red lines and Vipers. My bad. :lol:
 
@frogman: haven't seen any of those yet. Could try the rosemead walmart, as i found the vipers there. Maybe they re-stock themselves often
 
Forgot to post that I stopped at a Wal-Mart last night and they had stocked some N-case stuff. Was already picked through. Didn't find any errors, so I picked up a BAT to open.
 
I've yet to see BAT. I'd take two of those. My nephew doesn't care for Hot Wheel cars, but I think he'd like that one.
 
Worst part about that stop is, I stopped there the day before and they were finishing up their reset of the toy section. I asked the guy if they were going to put any more Hotwheels out and he said that they were expecting a truck the next day. So I decided I would swing by after work, which I did, but they had already put the cars out. :(
 
They've been doing that here, too. Nearly half the toy section's empty, with large clearance stuff everywhere.

Question: Have they stopped shipping the Dan Wheldon by now, or is it still possible to find them in stores? Their prices has been dropping like ton of bricks on eBay. Good news for me. :P
 
Pretty sure they are finished with shipping those. You might find them here or there at places putting out old stock (grocery stores) but I doubt you'll find any at Wal-Mart anymore.
 
Exactly whats "Gangsta" about these shiny red wheels when as pointed out, they are the exact same thing on the other car?
