No HWs at Wally World...........What?

Stroller Saturday, 2/9/2013

The local Walmart here in Spokane has a spot for Hot Wheels but do not have even one. Anyone else seen this at Walmarts near you?

I noticed a lot of talk about this on the internets. The K-Mart collector thing is Feb 16. New stuff then for sure.

I read Wal Mart has empty warehouses when it comes to Hot Wheels and they been doing post Christmas "re-set" of their toys sections. When that's all done Wal-Mart is supposed to get new cars Feb 18 or so. I read this crazy info on other boards and stuff and have no idea if anything is true.

My local Wal Mart has not had any new Hot Wheels in a while. They usually are real up to date with the latest stuff.

It seems to be the last couple of new release "batches" from Mattel have not had any FTE cars either.

someone at TARGET placed one car on each peg so as to appear full.... 35 cars total....minus [4] FTE II cars, complete with axles]

Same thing at my local Target...only a couple per peg. Plenty of non-mainline cars though, the Hot Ones and licensed stuff.

I went to Wal Mart yesterday 2/15 and they had one of those dump bins with a bunch of new stuff...and Boulevard cars, Flying Customs...the music cars....

The latest batch, like the past few doesn't have any FTE cars in there.

I don't believe you will see any in new releases. Don't think they are making them for 2013.

The also took a break away from them in 2007 and 2008.

Well, that explains that. Gonna have to keep my eyes open looking for older stock/FTE's.
