Wow, what's with the "Mattel Wheels" on the bottom of some cards? Is that a rare thing?

No todo que es oro brilla.
You want to sell the Hondas...those are actually what I "collect" haha...
Apparently The Japan Historics are hitting the Pegs in Canada now.
Hoping to see them in the USA soon. Last cool set that went to Canada first STAYED in Canada, hopefully that wont happen with these.

I had a pretty Super Monday. Checked Brickseek and my local Target was showing two new cases in stock, went to check, sure enough they were hiding on the pallet:
So I asked the nice employee if she'd pop them open for me, one was holding a prize:
Then I popped over to Walmart, I wasn't expecting any mainlines since that store has overflowing pegs and they got the Rad Truck bin last week. But the manager saw me and pointed me to yet another bin on the main aisle:
My small haul from the bin (first three 2016 ZAMACs under the Supers):
I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.
I've had some luck recently with a local antique shop that bought a bunch of hotwheels. I was able to pick up 13 Datsun 510 Bluebird sedans and one wagon. I dont have a firm grasp on whats rare or unique or collectible yet, I just buy cars that appeal to my taste in actual cars.

They likely haven't done their reset yet (which is occurring at most Targets currently) and they'll put them out after that's done. Some employees are nice enough to bring the cases out anyway but it's not required for them to. Also with this reset, certain Targets are getting a little mini-bin to put out on the shelf below the pegs and 2 or 3 cases shipped with it. Sounds like that store got 3 cases (216 cars) with their mini-bin. But now you know where to keep an eye on at least.

On another note, if you're looking for E case cars at your Walmart, just be aware that E case is also shipping in 72-ct endcap shippers for some crazy reason and they may be hanging on an endcap or two somewhere. I've seen a few posts stating that 2 or 3 shippers were found in various locations throughout the toy dept., so that release is not limited to bins.

I said I was going to quit buying Hot Wheels this year...

is that a wheel variation on the Porsche on the top left? and nice score on the SuperHunts, you have the best luck in your area for sure.
I know! Like the Integra that's coming out next case and the Japan Historics and... Ugh...
It is. It's actually the correct wheel but without the gold paint applied. Thanks! It's definitely not for a lack of effort. And now I will return to my monthly dry spell.
