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!!! (IMG:http://www.volksbraggin.com/porsche/matchbox.jpg) |

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) |

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.

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 |

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. (IMG:http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/matchbox/images/d/d0/1072AustinMiniVan.jpg) |

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!!! |
