Now for the Important Stuff - HotWheels

I picked up a few at WM today and they had a couple of cars from this "music" themed line -"Soull" and "Rock" iirc. No New Wave unfortunately but they must be coming.

These were listed at an exorbitant $1.97 and hanging on pegs rather than in the bin with the 97c riff-raff.

Decided to get out of the house the other night with my wife and son. First Walmart - nothing. Second Walmart - only one. Stopped by Target for something else and went to the HotWheels section - found TWO! Third and final Walmart - found SIX and a Superbird :) It's funny to think about how many stinking Walmarts are within a short drive to me. I'd recommend not overlooking Target as I found some there.

My count on the new one is up to ten. I'm hoarding them to give away but if you're dying for one I'd only charge you shipping. That said, I think this wave is still making it to retail. Walgreens saves their boxes for the holidays and they're now just stocking the new JJprise.

Kmarts have had new hot wheels kiosks set up with seasonal merchandise, and it never hurts to dig through the dump bin at Target or Walmart. This is where I've found nearly all.

I'm a huge fan of the DeLorean at 1/64ish scale. Get that opening doors version in the Entertainment series. Please? Please!

As requested, the list of available Redline Club "opening doors" edition from DMC has been updated.

I know that Julee has ~48 or so that are NOT shown here, but I've suggested that she may want to create a similar list for her stock, as well. As yet, no other dealer has these, thought some will go to California in the next few days or so.

If you want to order any off the list below, call us or order online and specify the number you want. I'll update the list periodically, but they're all subject to prior to sale.

Where's 1955? :(

Today I stopped by a new revamped walmart and I couldn't believe I actually found one of these. I stopped looking because I usually never find any. Doesn't take much to make me happy.


Btw not sure why this is coming up upside down.

The DMC-12 of the HW City series is now available in Germany as short cards. Got 3 at real,-

Barry, are you using an iPhone as the camera here?

Reason I ask is because I had the same problem with my iPhone while taking photos. It would display correctly on the screen but not after you put it on the computer or into a website/social media site.

I found that if you are using the camera feature with the phone on it's side, and then you are using the side mounted physical volume buttons as your camera shutter button, it displays it upside down if those volume buttons are up. When I started taking photos with the phone rotated 180 degrees and the volume buttons now facing down, it stopped being a problem. Pretty iStupid if you ask me, but that's what managed to fix it.

I *still* haven't seen the New Wave ones in stores... anyone else? Now I want one even more, despite the fact that I know they're kinda ugly :)

I'm using my iPad so I guess technically the same thing. I will give it a try.
