Sweet Jesus!
Found Lil Red Express and KITT last week but still no RX7's in this neck of the woods the search continues.
Scored a '70 Mach 1, Datsun 510, two '72 Torino sports, and an AE86 Corolla this week, just 'cause I liked 'em.
I picked up:
Will hit up Big Lots today if it doesn't rain . . .
Although it's not "Hotwheels", I just picked up Pope Pinion IV and The Popemobile from the Cars 2 cars.
Matchbox has a very cool heritage series.

I really want the Giulia Sprint GTA, and may have to pay some real money for it on Amazon if i can't find it anywhere. Also a P1800 and a Citroen DS.
In reply to mattmacklind:
I have one in white. I see the red ones frequently in stores if you're looking for that one.
As usual, GRM is a horrible influence. Had to check the toy section while I was at Target.

These "The Hot Ones" Hot Wheels are especially awesome. M1, 288GTO, Esprit Turbo, and 917? Instantly sold.

At least it's a relatively cheap addiction... I gotta find that Alfa GTA, the M3 GT, and a Mazda2.
Recent finds...

Nice 5-Pack of the Matchbox Heritage Classics:
Still need to find KITT and the Greenlight Cincinnati Police P71
(Not sure the story on these. Apparently, there's 2-3 in one of the newer cases. Happened to see it in a freshly-stocked big bin at a Walmart.)
(New casting, "Mad Manga," a bosozuku-styled generic vintage JDM car.)
Grabbed a 510, Little Red Express, Plymouth Superbird, Custom 64 Galaxie, and a Matchbox Mitsubishi Triton/L200.
Was at a flea market and I found a Ferrari P4 racer for all of 25 cents, so that was a pretty neat find. And thanks to Matt, I now want a Guilia Sprint GTA and a Citroen DS. I saw a DS at one point, but I didn't have the spare money to buy it.
BLARGH. all this does is remind me I STILL don't have the KITT or the Lil Red Express. I need to get in on the Mad Manga as well.
I need to stay outta this thread!!!
We are almost at max HotWheel capacity and STILL missing the cool ones. I'll have to hit up Target tonight.
Do you guys see any of the Aussie-market Holden/Ford models over there?
If not, I'll see what I can find next time I go shopping.

Hot Wheels have a current V8SC Falcon out in two colors.
Matchbox have released several colors of a current Holden Ute over the past year or so.
