What store am I most likely to find the Fast & Furious cars? I found the Supra from the first movie at Target. I can't seem to find the others.
 
Jason: If you find the R35 from the F&F series, that is now the only car I'm looking for, although I wouldn't mind a duplicate of the Supra. I ended up getting the Chevelle & R34 loose from Tony at Toy Peddler.

There are mainline(standard one you found at Target, also standard Chargers) cars & actual F&F cars exclusive at Walmart. F&F cars will have F&F packaging(or "card"). See my pictures couple of posts above for more info.

These are the F&F(fast & furious) cards/packaging:



These cars are more detailed than the standard cars, but I think they both go for a buck. :crazy:
 
How about that M case guys!? Good stuff in there.

The same day the M case is released, my Walmart gets the K case. :indiff:
It's not all doom and gloom though, this case was good to me. :D



No $TH Ranchero or any more Challengers, just that one.
Quite the large departure from the seven Dodge Vans I found in the last case.
 
Bat Ratitude looks kind of cool tbh. I'll have to inspect that closely to see if I want to start collecting those.

*I got F&F and you got jack*

Dude, can you grab me the same black R/T, a Supra, and R34 if you ever see them?
 
this case was good to me. :D
I didn't see any Toy(ota) trucks. :guilty:
Thanks @a6m5, I will have to check Walmart and Target again next time I go out.
You are welcome! To be honest with you, F&F Supra's much, much better than the mainline one. I regret paying premium from online seller for the two standard mainline Supras now.(I lied, I got mine from Target, too. Just remembered!) :crazy: Mainline doesn't have headlights or taillights detailed, but F&F do. They will be harder to find though. Again, F&F are available only from Walmart, and scalpers are going crazy over those things. :ouch:

I don't go hunting anymore, so chances are pretty much zero. Sorry. I'm getting mine from Toy Peddler.

Yo mang, I thought yous said your TRUs stocked up on dem F&F rides. Hook a brotha up. Reeeespect-
 
Here you go Andy!
And I even broke out my camera (instead of using my phone).







My favorite part of it:

 
Oh, I bought that, too. I thought you guys were talking about that rat car. :lol:

Now, Toys R Us, I can do. F&F are Walmart only though, and they get cleaned up. You may be referring to the post about how I found BRAT(Boulevard) at TRU......

By the way, Cano, Shelby collectible cars were still no-go from TRU. Sorry mang.
 
Thanks for the photos, but now I can't get over the fact you bought yourself a 🤬-ton of Toyotas back there.

And yes I was refereing to that post, Shinji. If F&F are walmart only, I take it you were talking about mainlines in which case I'll pass for now. Spent too much online in the past 3 weeks already.

I plan on doing several customs and because the primer I use is so hardcore, it barely comes off with the stripper if I screw up the paint (as I so frequently do), so I got a few spare cars.
Also, McZch, respond my pm you meanie.
Done. :)

I've got a stripper that can peel off anything on this planet.

Anything.





:P
 
Awesome grabs guys! Love the F40! :drool: Can't remember the name of the line, but it's probably the same line that I got my 1:43 HW Ferrari 612 and 550 from at TRU. Which was on clearance since it was leftover stock. Wish I knew about it earlier. :indiff: Also jelly over the Decades Murcielago SV and McLaren F1.

Stopped by Walmart again to still see no sign of the K case cars or the F&F line. :grumpy: Not that disappointed about the K case, but I really want to see the L case. When is that? HWC says late May... >_>

Really haven't been collecting in a while. Nothing but disappointment from stores to flea markets. Heck, I may as well ask an employee if it's possible that they could restock the Boulevard pegs at Walmart. Meanwhile the Flying Customs line is overflowing...

Again, Hot Wheels distributes the model(of cars) very poorly. Maybe they fill the pegs with peg warmers on purpose, keeping all desirable cars on eBay to help the collectible market. Whatever their gameplan, I don't like it.
 
Most ebay sellers I buy from order cases I think. I aim for eBay stores because I can take out stuff if I no longer want it. With bids, not only do I have to fight for prices, I also can't (well not supposed to) retract the notion of wanting to buy it.

That said, Flying Customs is likely peg warmers but unfortunately they ordered way more than they can possibly hope to sell. If they want to get rid of it, they're going to have to drop prices to like $1.50 to $2.
