This, one of them found a car in one that wasn't even listed on the back though. It had a number that didn't even exist on the list of what could be in them either.

I used those to get the Triumph race car since I hadn't been able to find one otherwise.

I picked up one of those 510 wagons last week during one of my weekly "I need an excuse to burn $5" trips to Target. I swear the staff in the electronics department across the aisle think I'm crazy.

That homer though. That's one of the few adult cards I'd buy (along with the bttf Toyota I already got.)

Anyone interested in a cool classics blue svo with a drag beetle card error?

Is it labeled as a beetle? The cool.classics often don't match their card. Most.of.the current ones have a Torino on them.

No, it has all the info for the VW Drag Beetle on it. I have been having trouble uploading pictures off my phone lately, but I'll post one in awhile.

This is the car on the cool classics packaging, this is each release ever except the diamond encrusted one lol. It has never been available in stores at all so each release is pretty limited. I have six versions of it ^this guy is obsessed!

Yes, yes there is. I think it sold for 100,000 but has 140,000 worth of diamonds. It was made as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations.

You can search for "custom Otto" which is what that car is called. It was on the redline blister packs but was never made untill 2008 for the anniversary.

The error card is 19/30 instead of the correct 18/30. Walmart's regular hot wheels shelf had about 20 xmas civics.....and nothing else.

I did another walmart bin. It was hidden way back in a corner out of the way, so I was out of traffic for a good 15min. Findings were limited. All the good Batman's were gone, only fnf cars were the Torino's,and so on. I did come up with a red e30 for Kris man and an odd wheel variant on a quick n stik. You could tell they hadn't gotten a case in a long time.

Heh, and now I have 10 chicane hunts. Wife is on a mission to find this toy for my kid. That means I get to check all kinds of hot wheels.

I like that. Assuming that Chandler has not made a deal for it, because I know he likes errors, what might persuade you to lessen your grip on it?

$4 and a buckaroo or so for USPS?

I figured someone would like an error and IDGAF so long as I get what I paid back.

I would consider that fair. Pm me your PayPal, and let's make this happen.

It was British car day at Walmart. The Esprit and Elise Hot Wheels and Caterham, Exige and Defender 110 Matchboxs and a BMW 1 Series Matchbox . I also showed a couple kids the printing on the mystery cars to see what was in them.

Did some shopping at some independent toy stores while up at SWMBO's parents house over Thanksgiving. The bottom pic is 2 different Chaparrals and a Ford Escort rally car.
