Assuming someone already claimed Bill's extra one... If anyone else has an extra one I would really enjoy having one as well.
Please let me know.

Thanks,

Drew

Don't waste your time/money on ePay. This is a regular issue .79-.99 cent car from Hot Wheels, nothing limited or special edition about it. They will be in the stores on the pegs in most retail stores sooner than you think.

Scalpers like to pick up the newest stuff in bulk amounts (I use to collect them for 5 years and recently slowed my hobby down) and I have ran into these ****** time and time again. They bulk up on them to sell at Collector Show, Flea Markets, and online on ePay and it's not for the same price Wal Mart has them for, usually 400-1000% mark up. ($4-$10).

The release from hot wheels was a big let down in my book. See why:


Don't be the sucker who's gotta have it now, these HW hogs are looking for people like you to pay the outrageous prices fro something you will see in another month in every other retail store that has Hot Wheels.

good luck.

Well, I do not accept the label "sucker". To me the $ for the Hot Wheels is chump change, a couple of minutes work. I wanted the HotWheels truck now and was willing to pay the chump change to get it. My money, and very little little of it for something I wanted NOW..... SO, I have it now, not months from now. Thank you Mr. or Mrs. Scalper where ever you are. you provide a great service, getting me what I want now when I can't get it now myself. You provide a great service.

Hmmmm, I wasted under $10 on one Hot Wheels truck. You wasted HUNDREDS of $ on your Hot Wheels collection. Hmmm, to each his own. Reality is I wasted chump change and you have wasted real $ on your passion/collection.
p.s. Do you really think we did not already know what you told us in your post..
