Rediculous
This is my first holiday season paying attention to hot wheels. And it's clear from today's experience that my local big box store just put out there black Friday spread of toys and other things. I was in the store for some other things and happen to walk by the aisle where the hot wheels are at and I was stunned to see about 30 feet of hot wheels cars in racks and small bins. It was it was a huge variety and I could've dropped some serious change there, but I was in a hurry and just grabbed a few.

Nice finds! These cars are from early 2024 however, and the Cosmo is from 2023. A few weeks ago one of the local Walmarts found some leftovers, and was able grab a few from early 2023 that I hadn't found before.
- Yeah, I picked up the Star Wars thing and six of those 007 cars a couple of weeks ago; My grocery store just put out a giant display of older cars. — LobotomyScam
Yep 'tis the season! [Not my photo]
- I would be bustin that thing down..... I cant find anything in our WM.. Scalpers get there so darn quick.... — Desert_Rat_Racing
- You can see from the two visible sides this skid could be 100% Q Case. Even with all the heat inside this year's end assortment, I wonder how long that location will be stuck with the dregs. Two years ago, a local Wally's really overbought for Easter, and near summer's end I spotted two employees boxing up the remnants for the back room — Chris_Hood
- True, Im asking around if people have old HW they want to get rid of.... I have two co workers their dads have collected since 1985 both WM employees. Still working on getting into the meeting stage to see what they want to get rid of... — Desert_Rat_Racing
- If by "older" you mean 5+ years old, antique malls can be a real honey hole. You'll likely come out ahead, because no shipping costs. Any supermarket under the Kroger's umbrella is nice as a place to have a second chance at cars released earlier in the year, think four cases removed from the most recent. One fellow in Montana tells us repeatedly he scores at ACE Hardware, of all places. — Chris_Hood
- Check out my post on What Cars Have You Found Lately? — ManiacMotorsports
- I found Indy cars at Price Chopper only one store so far... I want to check local truck stop again they had a few when I went in there last. I will have to swing by Ace on my way home and see if they have cars... Thanks for the tip there... I have found several antique shops that I go to and most guys want ebay prices.. I have found out that if you ask shop keeper to see if they will drop prices a bit the seller is willing to let go.. Never huts to ask right? — Desert_Rat_Racing
Nice haul, I got my eye on that Mustang.
