That's a great idea. A good way to ensure future enthusiasm too - positive reinforcement! Now I just need to find a car show that will let me attend!

So far most of my additional memorabilia (such as the hot wheels and various red vests) have come from other people.

I went to the one by my house a month ago and pulled 10 gold, 5 black and 3 ecto 1's. I'm hoping to do much better when I go to all of the stores.

I think it would be insanely awesome if someone amassed the thousands of Hw ones needed, and made a real-life size delorean model out of them! Think about it, black for the strips, bumpers, and wheels, silver for the panels, and gold for the windows!

Just got around to counting the Hotwheels tonight. 229 Deloreans and still collecting.

I found 7 more last weekend, all in York, and then I found 3 more in Hershey, not too shabby for two weeks work! I actually found a couple of 2010 models still on the shelves too!

Wal-Mart, Target, Kroger, Toys-R-Us, Stop-N-Shop

i got 8 total, 1 regular D and 7 time machines. cleaned walmart out and another local store. no more around here for now. im gonna go to another few stores this weekend and see if theres any at those places and clean them out too lol.

I heard a rumor from DMCCA that they'll soon be making red DeLorean hotwheels. Apparently, the DeLoreans have been very profitable. Who would've guessed? ;)

Another colour? Sweet merciful crap. A redo on the original one would be nice, but I'm guessing we won't see it for at least three years (just a trend I've noticed of revived stampings; no insider info or other knowledge)

I may need to update my count of each type....I didn't know we had a contest running :D

I would get as many red ones as I could! finally, a miniature version of the d in my car's color!
