I have four. Each place I go have max of two, if they had them at all. One was a gift for my 8 year old for Easter. I just picked up one more to customize, as my original two will stay in the packaging. This is all a result of looking every time I visit a Target Walmart or TRUs since January when folks on the East coast first started reporting them available. I will continue to look for them, but I visit these stores often anyway as I am a single dad on a tight budget. TRUs is on the way to a Target. I really do not know why about 10 Honda Ridgelines are available each time I go. What a waste. Wish they were teeners, then I would score 5 at a time.

Because nobody buys them. I see lots of Priuses (Prii?) as well. Yeah, that's the car I want running down my Hot Wheels track. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Just seems Matchbox thought there would be a bigger market for these and made more in relation to others, not a comment on the market itself, more of the production.

Finally scored one... or two

My awesome wife knew I was looking for it. For my birthday, she spent way too much ordering a pair of them from Amazon. One for me, and one to satisfy the 3-yr old so he won't want to play with the one that's mine.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I thought it would be cool to have one... but now that I have one, I realize I need at least two more:

One to keep in the box
One to modify to look like mine (paint it yellow, cut the roof, maybe add bumper tits)
One to make into a keychain

The detail of the light lenses and bumpers (with black bumper tops) is impressive for Matchbox.

I've hit all the local K-Mart, Target, and Wal-Mart. Got 3 so far. One to keep unopened, one on my desk at work to fidget with, and one for the kids. I'm hoping to pick up 2 more so I can send one to a buddy as a Ph.D. graduation present, and hack at one for kicks.

As a bonus, the lighter Matchbox color matches my Ravenna 914 very nicely, so I don't need to modify it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Interersting. I had my mother take a look at the Lodi Modesto Locations and she said she saw one in a collector pack, but I said they were only available in individual. Maybe she did see this too.

I have checked all the collector packs but have not had any luck. Family Dollar doesn't really carry the individuals but does have the collector packs.

I found the same collector pack at my local Wallmart in Aliso Viejo, CA. There were two there. I only bought one. $10.00 just to get the one car I wanted...
If you hurry you might find the other one!!

Hmmm. Going to check out a motorcycle on Sunday. Perhaps I should look up the Targets and Walmarts near my destination... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I found two collector packs with 914s at my local Walmart today. I did not buy them but if anyone on the board wants them, I will buy them. Not looking to make any money. I estimate total cost with shipping to be around $15.00 each.

I picked up the collector pack at K-mart as it was on sale for $6.99. There was another with a light blue convertible Chevy Bel Air I had to have (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Theo is getting some more cars soon (Zach's son gets all the ones I dont want (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )
