I searched Big Lots, Kmart and Walmart TWICE and found no 914s.
But I did find Type 181 (there were half a dozen blue ones - I got two), the Triumph in green and silver, Datsun 510 (LOTS of those), a Mini Cooper, a Carrera GT, a VW 5-pak and a BATMOBILE!!!

One good thing about having a K-mart stuck right between two Walmarts....the K-mart had an excellent stock of new 2002 Hot Wheels and Matchbox, and some cool Rick Astley tapes.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

No 914's though, so I picked up a TR6, 510, Cayenne and a V8 Vega! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So you now have the market cornered on Rick Astley tapes?

Drew,

I bought the 3 pack with the bus in it today. I also found a Ferrari 250 GTO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

All of the Things that I am finding are blue. I hit a TRU and WM today and no joy.



Sweet score on the bus! Your one up on me. There are 4 colors of the Ferrari 250 GTO (Black, Red, yellow and Blue).

Evil,

Want an orange thing?

I can get one and bring it to the tranny clinic.



Ken could you get 2 orange things please ? I'd like one and I can't seem to find any around here.

I finally did some looking today, totally expected to find a wealth of teeners and make fun of you all but I got none. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I did however have about 6 others in my hand and decided to put them all back. I gave up buying toys a couple years ago, because my collection was getting out of hand. Now you asshats have me at it again! I had a Jeep Scrambler, Carrera GT, Baja bug, Ferrari GTO, Mooneyes salt flat car, and a Ducati 1090 in my grips for a good 20 minutes while I searched for the elusive 914. Put them all back.

FWIW, both the Kingstowne Wal-Mart and Springfield Target had plenty of Matchbox, but no 914s.

Go back and get me the GTO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I have a yellow one and need one more so I can pull one out of the packaging (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I hit a wally world tonight and the whole section was bare. Not even the hangers. Maybe they are restocking them?

As for Things, I am looking for any that are not blue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I think that we should start submitting wish lists here so that we can help each other with our collections (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

- Ferrari 250 GTO (any color)
- VW Thing, any color besides blue and orange as I have those covered.
- 64 Mini cooper
- Willys Jeep with the triangular civil defense logo
- Any VW air cooled, particularly buses

Good idea on the Wish List. Here's mine:

914 (still looking)
non-blue Thing
any Ghia

The 510, Carrera GT, green TR6 and Blue Thing are in abundant supply it seems.
I also saw a couple of the Austin Mini Vans. Looks like the same wheels as on the 914.

This isn't good.

In the past 2 weeks I have bought the following:

914
Purple Ghia
Orange Thing (Hot wheels version)
XK120SE Red
XK120SE Silvery
Green Mini Cooper
Blue XKE
Green TR6
Silver TR6
510
AAR Hemi Cuda - Purple
White Mustang Fastback

I think I am leaving out a car or two. My kids keep wanting to play with them, so I put them on the top of a high shelf. Not sure it will help.

I am looking for a bunch more now too. Ugh!!!
