That Camaro is cool, but it has a 250 cubic inch, really?

I didn't now there was standard version, but since you didn't mention it being a $uper, I took a real hard look at your pic, and it looks identical to the $uper TH I bought loose.
Usually, they'll have different color wheels, stripes, etc.
I thought you were in U.S.I saw some Auto World cars at a Walmart in the U.S., but of all cars the Mustang was missing.

I just checked the twin mills and they both have plastic tires.
I couldn't believe it when I saw it. It normally takes a couple of months after you guys find cars for them to show up in my area.

I have the same problem. Sometimes the stores don't get them for 2-3, or even 4 months, even at the Kmart across the border from me. It's either that the shipments take forever to come, or the stores are just too lazy to stock the shelves.

@R1600Turbo Jason, you had that Japanese 100% R32 Skyline, right? How much did you pay for it?
Oh, I realize that now. I was just surprised how identical they were!

My bad, I thought for sure you had one.
I offered this one seller $65, received a counter offer for $70(shipped). It was more than I wanted to pay for it, but I was like 🤬, it's five bucks, so I just did it!

They sell for $150+ on ebay in the original packaging.

This one's just basic card, and that card supposedly have a crease on the back. I'll find the link.
100% Skyline
I'm sure you've seen it, but I found this interesting.

Phones are biatch to use. I don't know how you do it!
Well, it may not go for that, but even on eBay, it seems to be going for around $10. I'd hang on to that one if I were you. Cool & rare. 👍I have that gray Skyline. And holy crap, $21.50 for it?

Oh I have. Melja sells a lot of stuff you can't find easily anymore.* That's who I bought my gold-plated Shelby Cobra from. That and the other Skyline she has/had is the reason why I stopped collecting R32s. It just gets too expensive.
*That's because most people don't want to pay for those high prices.

I hated kanji before i had got my hands on "Remember the kanji" to help me with my studies...Which helped tremendously(Recommended if you studying core japanese) I used to write in kana here, never got any complaints lol..I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji here. Chances are, they're not allowed...
Kanji makes me cry, and I know only 5% of them.
Another sad thing is that the Exige R-GT will never have a Tomica Limited version, not even the Evora GTE. It's a pity that those are actually good in standard guise, but deserve to have more detailed versions.

My haul from a raid of every store in town (all 5 
) that sells Hot Wheels:
1st row on left (from top to bottom): 57 Chevy, Subaru Impreza WRX, 80's Corvette, Nissan 350Z
2nd row: 1974 Brazilian Dodge Charger, '11 Ken Brock Ford Fiesta, '70 Chevelle SS Wagon in Hurst livery, '08 Holden Commodore SS Ute
3rd row: '13 NASCAR Authentics #48 Jimmie Johnson, Caterham R500 Superlight, Terrain Trouncer, '69 Dodge Charger Daytona
4th row: Toyota Landcruiser FJ40, Aston Martin DBS Volante, Porsche Carrera GT, Volkswagen Brasilia
The car at the very top is a Maisto Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. The 3 loose cars from the pillow packs from left to right are Ballistik, 1/4 Mile Coupe, and a '65 Corvette. 👍

I love that Land Cruiser so much...... so much that I think I have four.
I think this particular seller's tactic is to catch buyers who don't want to wait. She'll make it available, but for a price. I'm the same way, but I do it on eBay(I don't have to pay listing fees).
I'm sure that's not the sole reason, but you can't wait based on availability from one seller. It's a waiting game. Sometimes it's a few months, sometimes it's a year or two, we all have cars that became available at the right time, and for the right price.

I see it more like this (and I'm going to simplify it for the sake of illustrating my perspective):
100,000 of these one non-mainline Skylines were released in stores 6 years ago. It sells out completely. 99990 of them are keepers because people want it in their collection, thus remaining 10 are slated to be resold on the web. Based on how many are available to be sold, in a sense, we can say that this Skyline is a "rare" car to come by on the second-market.
10 cars, 10 sellers. Eight sellers are honest people who either aren't out for maximum profit, or they have no idea how scarce that car has become. These eight sell their Skylines for $2. The ninth seller some time later auctions their Skyline starting at 99 cents. Little did he realize just how badly collectors want this. The auction ends at $40. One of the bidders is the last dude who owns the 10th Skyline I haven't spoke about. He doesn't win the auction, but he saw the potential this car, and decides to sell theirs for $47.
Why? They noticed a quick search on eBay and TTP never brings up this Skyline release. If it's that popular of a casting and there's no other seller available to compete with prices, they could list it for such a high price right off the bat and wait for someone who also takes note no one else has one to sell but him. It's a monopoly then.
If I wait like 12 years, and no one else is selling a Road Racers set, there's a chance I can list it for $150 and eventually someone may buy that.
*Of course, I'm speaking in hypothetical terms. $150 is a random large number I'm throwing out there.

I'm back from the store. Pure luck. I'm photographing the cars now, then will upload to the trusty TinyPic image hosting site, then will post.

This is a great haul for me, and I found three times the amount of cars I expected to find. I went to two dollar stores, both of the same name and both within five miles of each other. Let's start:
Two Speedbox T-Hunts
A Bat Pod, a Challenger, and two '71 Mustangs that are very different from one another
Two Seagraves; these ones will stay carded
These next three cars will be customized or detailed. They are a Challenger SRT8, Toyota 4Runner, and another '71 Mustang.
