I couldn't wait for the stores to stock these and fight for the ones I wanted, so I ordered a case of each. If you can find them, most stores seem to still be on the A cases when they are up to C already.

Please ID the gold car in the middle row, third from the top. It looks 63-64 Dart-ish. So does the copper one to its left.

It's a 63 Plymouth Belvedere 426 Max Wedge. Only two of those per case, so a little harder to come by than the other cars which come 3 to a case.

Hmmm ... getting a little closer to a Hot Wheels '64 Valiant ... Hope springs eternal.

Didn't make it, but did stop in a Kmart driving home from WV this afternoon. Picked up the exclusive colors I was interested in, as well as most of the new case cars.

The new '67 Chevy C10 and Greenwood Corvette castings are sweet!

Yes they are! Our cases all had 35 cars which really sucks coming out of a sealed master case. No super treasure hunts at all. Oh well, cool errors and the cars are looking better all the time.

Heads up! New skyline in the Flying Colors series:

It looks awesome but it really sucks that they never made any other colors besides white in the normal car line.

Flying Color has been axed so good luck finding those anywhere but eBay. The big box stores haven't reordered so they may show up at dollar general, dollar tree and big lots around Christmas.

Yesterday was a great finds day

Super mustang; the Rx-7 is the hunt (got an extra for you JD if you need it)

Then the Foose chase AND super chase(only 800 made)

Then the green machine chases and luckily both air cooled!

And then this vette with a weird piece of flashing and the BMW 2002 with the transition wheels which has been really hard to find!

Yes please, I'll take the RX7. Got an extra Fiesta TH from the previous case?

Copy that. It'll be on my shopping list if I make the last show of the year at Hara Arena in Dayton.

Finally, even though it's silver. A gift from a Scion friend (which keeps me out of Walmart).

Matchbox has a t34 karmann ghia now, the ones I saw were blue.

Anyone else notice slim pickings for Matchboxes lately? Its usually 3-4 ft worth of Hot Wheels and two rows of Matchbox.

I got one one these at Tractor Supply (Ertl/Johnny Lightning Cherokee). Nice rubber tires, and the hood opens.

Saw this at the store the other day, but passed on it. In hindsight, I should picked it up.

Matchbox has been severely lacking this season... though the Buick cop cars are AMAZING.

Flipped cars in the blisters aren't really worth anything as far as an error goes- too easy to manipulate them without damaging the plastic.

fair enough, but I just found it humorous how art imitates life...right out of the box, that brit car would give the owner problems
