Kroger Exclusive (White) Mazda RX-7 1/64 Scale Hot Wheels
In California, it’s Ralphs; in AZ, it’s Fry’s; in Utah, it’s Smith’s
Has anyone found these yet? I would love to trade some cars with someone that has some of these.
I live in Florida so we dont' have Kroger stores here. :cry2:

It’s part of a special set called Super Speeders, which come in a mystery pack available only at Kroger’s (and their Ralph’s subsidiary) grocery stores. The mystery packs have a tiny window in the corner, so you can ID the RX-7 without buying the store’s entire stock. Each package also comes with a sticker of the car itself.
I have some spare mint loose and carded Hotwheels I can trade if you are looking for something new or old, been collecting since 1998 and have over 10,000 cars, so Ill probably have a spare of whatever you want.
I am looking for at least 5 or more for myself and my friends overseas that collect Mazda Diecast cars.
Don't Collect diecast cars? How about a trade for a MazdaRoadster Tee-Shirt , and Stickers? Lemme know!
Thanks guys!

There was a limited set of 49 Merc's released at the opening. They look really sweet too! Came in a little Oil can.

I enjoyed the story too. I was wondering why I was seeing in influx of vintage JDM cars in Hotwheels' "new" cars. Good luck Randy.

Your fighting with the Hot Wheels community here Phatmiata. I been to a few dozen special event release by Hot Wheels , and well, we all fight over the boxes and such. My father has a complete Redline collection with cars in mint condition. Try a toy car worth $1,000. That is what he collects.

Just for the hell of it, I checked WalMart who had a bunch of these bagged Hot Wheels and the only white one in this collection, according to the back of the bags, is a Lambo. Had a bunch of kids around me worried I was going to get their favorite so I told them they were giving away free candy at the other end of the store.

I found two of these RX-7's (albeit black instead of white) at, of all places, Grocery Outlet. Haven't seen them anywhere else, or anyplace else since then.

Wal-Mart has the Mystery car packs now, but the white RX7 is not a listed car on the back. They had 2 boxes of cars #1 through #25

Thank you for checking! I know they are out there, the scalpers have them on eBay for $5 each + $4 shipping :fp: I know the cars don't cost more than .99 cents so I will just be patient and wait until the stores are flooded with them and then the scalpers won't have any game.

That's a pretty nice profit margine.
I have an Rx7 in my collection (just two hot wheels cars) But I don't think it's the JNC one though.
I'll check when I get home.

My RX7 is the blue one Publix carries. I checked WalMart over a month ago and yep, there's no white one shown in the picture of the collection. I got all giddy thinking I had found one after checking a hundred of those little peep holes but it was a Lambo or something.
If one of the Pacific Northwest guys would check out a local Fred Meyers store, it would be appreciated.

You won't find them in Florida guys, they are EXCLUSIVE to Kroger brand stores, we don't have Krogers here. :fp:

Yeah, I've never heard of this "krogers" you people speak of.
I have the grey one with ngk stickers and a number 20 on the side. Lol when I first saw it, I just had to have it.

Krogers won't come into the Florida market because Publix and Walmart has the Florida market locked up!

I just picked up three extras as well. Not trying to jock Demon's steezy. I didn't even know he had picked up a ton when I was sifting through cars today.
I'd like to trade my 3 extras for other Japanese Nostalgics. Anyone have some non-RX-7s to trade?

Sending you some extras from my mint loose collection, think of it as your Hot Wheels starter kit :teehee:
We just need some uber cool Revlimiter style Toy + Car parts photos now.

Well shoot. I was all excited to get on here after heading home, with 3 RX7s in hand, to share with everyone! If anyone needs one, I also have a few! (And they were purchased for the hot wheels guys who can't get them... I have zero use for them!)

10-22-2012, 05:09 PM
I'm sure they won't last long. I'll take all three unless someone else doesn't have one yet. I'm still looking for some black RXs. I went back to get a couple and they're sold out for now.
