here absolutely no Hotwheel Deloreans in Greece. They bring in all the other crap
So I ordered a couple from the UK.
To my VERY PLEASANT surprise, Dangermouse was thoughtful enough and kind to send me a couple off his collection. Not many can say that
CHEERS MATE!
So I'll add some photos as soon as the UK ones arrive. Giving me a complete set.

What the hell? Hondos Center has cars? That place is a cosmetics store
Crete is about a 13 hours of Ferry ride so can't visit that for the hotwheels:P

My VIN: Banged your VIN'S mom
Walmart is a lost cause until after Christmas anyway. The thing is Walmart puts out these huge cardboard boxes, apporx. 3'x4'x4' tall. Sometime divided into 3 sections, sometimes not. ALL of the new arrivals get poured into this big box and there is no way to look through them unless you just start digging and making a spectacle of yourself. Now multiply me by all the other people looking for some certain car and you get where I'm going with this....they are all bent all to crap. Some of the boxes are so bent up and torn they will not even hold a shape(I bet the collectors love this) As far as I'm concerned, this is just a lazy way to display your product, but most of these will be bought up for stocking stuffers, etc. so the box condition is not important to a 6 yr. old who will just open it up to play with it. Of all the nerve, playing with toys!
If the actual shelves are low or empty, some of the next batch may or may not make it to the shelf, but the chances that a DeLorean will be up there are low. Now with that said, I have been lucky enough to scoop up about 12 so far. I will sift through the top layers of the "big lazy box" and come up with a few, but I will not dumpster dive to get them. I drive by about 4 different Walmarts a week during my route, so I usually will hit a fresh batch and get to pick through them and come up with one or two.
