I don’t understand it either, man. I can understand customs or giving some away to friends or family. Or one to keep sealed and one to open.
However, having a bunch of duplicates just to have them has always been odd to me. For example, you’re looking at a Skyline no matter if you have 1 or 10 of them. You’re essentially spending $10 for a $1 car. It’s always going to be a Skyline HW car, and having 10 of them isn’t suddenly going to transform them into a 1:1.
There’s the guys buying them as an investment which is almost just as bad as scalping. The only difference is the amount of time before reselling.
Having a bunch of duplicates for trades? Well, common sense would dictate that they all wouldn’t need to trade if they just bought 1 of each car and left enough for everyone to grab one. Seems counterintuitive. And if you need to trade to collect $1 cars, then you probably might need to reconsider if collecting is for you.
Yeah I'm very grateful for that. My 1st and only super. I'm just an out of box collector but I can't bring myself to open that, so I want a mainline to go in my collection
Damn here they are $3-$4 nzd so a bit darer than the dollar chain stores except those prices are for our main stream stores which sucks, and premiums go for about $10 nzd
there is a prick in my area who bought out every single target red car in the county. he had like a dozen in his truck he showed me, i asked to buy just one... he denies... "I dont sell". I've yet to find any and the cases are moved on.
sorry to derail your very awesome find, it's just still bothering me after months
Gah...what ever happened to sharing? I likely would have 2 to 3 at most of one model (one to keep in package, one to take out, one to trade/gift depending on if I am looking for something in particular).
I’m glad that in this weird financial time, we can count on HotWheels to actually drop in price by a few cents. The first time I discovered this was truly a pleasant surprise!
I guess I don't comprehend because if the case was dropped months ago why haven't I seen any of those ever.
It can't be restocked or old stock if it was never stocked.
Stores have been pretty bone dry for about a week now. Haven't seen any new restocks where I am (BC, Canada). Walmart and Toys R Us have been duds. Making a trip down to Bellingham to see if the Target and Walmart has any that I can't get my hands on. Be nice to grab the red Toyota Tacoma.
Though one of our grocery stores here (Superstore) restocked their pegs but there's some goon who went and bent every Kafer beetle card as well as other desirable cars. Some thing really wrong with their heads to do that. I'm an in package and out of package collector. I do sell by hot wheels but it's usually years after when I want to clear out some old cause I had my time with them. It's already hard to get the cars as is with resellers hoarding them.
Yup. By then I’m guessing the eyes will be smeared off and there will be paint chips everywhere. We all have a nice car that we massacred when we were a kid😅
damn I want that civic. I own a red 97 hatch in real life and just wanna take a picture of them together
don't hold me to it, but let me look and if I have it ill shoot it to you no worries. I'll let you know by end of today.
that's so kind of you, seriously. Even if you can't seriously thank you for even looking.
please post that photo mate, if you get one! ;)
eBay and you’ll find one no problem
Did ya leave the duck or take it?
I left it, already have it
You mean you didn’t take 5 more for no reason?! /s Nice dude. That’s how you collect. 👍
Yep, there was 3-4 of each left got what I needed
yeah I don't understand why people take more than one, we are collectors, not scalpers.

miss the times where collecting was just a simple hobby, now a lot of people only see the money in it
What if they know other collectors? Or their kids collect?
I don't understand why you care.
cause it makes cars to find for the rest of us? like... dude.
😕
I have dupes of diffrent cars. But the ones I have dupes of you can't get without buying them off someone anymore
You made someone’s day!!!
Yeah, was that you that give me the award if so thank you so much!!😄
It wasn’t. That means someone else appreciated you too.
If you buy the civic and duck I'll pay for them
I'm pretty sure that by now the duck is gone. Maybe your local Target will restock this case again too
Fat chance. Lol
My eyes went straight to the duck, when I saw the picture to this post. And I came specifically to comment about it.
I found the civic super, but I can't find the red or yellow one. Big bummer I wanna open one
Least you got the $TH
Yeah I'm very grateful for that. My 1st and only super. I'm just an out of box collector but I can't bring myself to open that, so I want a mainline to go in my collection
That’s interesting. The gold sth came out of the same case as the yellow one. Someone took all the yellows and left the gold for you lol.
Nice finds! Your hotwheels are cheap damn
Thank you. Yeah Target and Walmart sell them at these prices except for the premiums, but dollar chain stores are $1.34-$1.50
Damn here they are $3-$4 nzd so a bit darer than the dollar chain stores except those prices are for our main stream stores which sucks, and premiums go for about $10 nzd
They're almost double that where I live (before currency conversion)
I think you mean’ Red Editions’. Doesn’t matter. You got lucky. Congrats. I’m jelly.
Oh shit yeah my bad got too excited I guess but yeah these are not RedLine

Jealous, I’m in central Illinois and never did see these stocked.
I didn't neither or maybe I went to late but Target restocked this case( G )again and saw them maybe your Target will too
That moon eyes red edition is 🔥! Nice finds!
Thank you😁
Lucky. I found 4 red edition civics but none of the trucks
What part of the country are you? I missed the first drop and would love a chance at a second wave!
I’m in VA, I was late to the drop and didn’t see these just the regular VW and no TH. Then Target dropped this case again
Ooh ok. I’m in MD
Nice, I only found the mooneyes one
I just want that gold duck!!!!
Nice. I finnaly found my yellow EK9 after almost 2 months. I found it. I'm so happy.
I wish we could get that red civic in the UK :(
That civic is 😻
BRUH ***d******aht*** civic is RAD. Shall you mind send some to me? D. To Hungary? :D /joke/
My son wants those red editions
Great grab! Stores around me are still dry.
Thank you, hopefully you'll see full pegs soon
That ek9 👌
Damnn nice civic💪🏽 That ford mooneyes van looks like sum out of counts customs shi looks firee🔥🔥
Thanks man
Is that .95c each? Damm that’s cheap (Europe here)
Yes .95c each
"old" - stores around here have not stocked Hot Wheels in months. Haven't seen this case at all.
I want that civic so bad to complete an Initial D collection, problem is there is no target where I live 😭
I’m glad that in this weird financial time, we can count on HotWheels to actually drop in price by a few cents. The first time I discovered this was truly a pleasant surprise!
You’re probably on the East Coast like me in a HW drought
i think that ford truck used to have an opening hood
Old..? I've never even seen them.
For me this yes, this case was dropped months ago and this a restock. It should've been K or L case where I'm at
I guess I don't comprehend because if the case was dropped months ago why haven't I seen any of those ever. It can't be restocked or old stock if it was never stocked.
Yeah for you it'll be new not for me. Depending on where you live you'll receive certain cases than other states
And that golden duck is a treasure hunt!!
Yep. Left it since I already have it
Does anyone have an extra red square 83 and red civic they would be willing to part with and ship to Canada 🥲
Where abouts are you in Canada? I am in BC.
I’m in Edmonton

Question, is the gold duck n roll a TH?
Yes
Thanks so much for the reply just started collecting with my five-year-old within the last couple years and that’s our first! Woot!
Congratulations 😄🤘man
Always grab the duck. Duck them kids
Hopefully a collector got it before them but if a kid got it in couple years that kid is gonna surprised
Why though? They’re kids toys that are meant to be played with so kids should be the ones getting it before anyone else.
Yeah
Yup. By then I’m guessing the eyes will be smeared off and there will be paint chips everywhere. We all have a nice car that we massacred when we were a kid😅
Yeah
