Speaking of the G case

I can't figure this out. I ordered the G case from wineo1983 on Ebay and was told that they should arrive by the 10th and then they would be shipped to me. I still have yet to see the case but I went and looked at the items that he has for sale and come to find out he is selling single cars from the G case! If the cases haven't arrived then how is he have these cars in his possession. I have emailed him twice but no replies yet. Very frustrating needless to say but this raises ones eyebrow to question if some of these people that sell these cases wait to ship them out so they can get top dollar for the more popular cars and then once the hype dies down then they ship the cases. It would make sense because they would have less people to compete top dollar for giving them the advantage. Also how come they always manage to get the Supers? I've been told that there is no way to know which case number that the Supers are in but I'm not so sure. But back to wineo1983, I know he is a member hotwheelscollectors.com so I might go on there and post publicly that he needs to take care of his Ebay customers by answering their emails. Yeah I don't like being crossed especially when I give you my hard earned dollar. In the meantime I hope the cases show up soon and Keep on Hunting !!!

Third K-day case

Well the third case showed up today and it was the correct one. No supers. I have yet to find a super since they started inserting them a few years ago. I'll keep on trying because I love the hunt. I can't wait until the G case is released. The Lil Red Express truck is going to be my "gotta get" this year. My dad worked for a Dodge dealership and I still remember when he brought that truck home. Love at first site. In my opinion that is the best production truck ever. Even better than the Warlock. I wonder if Mattel is going to end up producing that one. I will soon be posting pics of new releases so until then, Keep on Hunting.

Mattel 02/12 Kdays

I didn't get to attend this months Kdays so I ordered 3 cases online. I have done this in the past and never had a problem. This time I decided to order just after midnight just to be sure that I would not get in too late. Thinking that since I did it so early that my cases would be some of the first shipped. WRONG !!! I just got my first two cases yesterday and I'm still waiting for the third one. No big deal I guess but I opened the first case and wasn't really that impressed. I got the Tyrrell P34 Treasure Hunt. I agree with a lot of other collectors and say that this is probably the worse Treasure Hunt ever. I do like the pinkish Barracuda but the rest are so-so. So I opened the second case and to my surprise it was filled with the cars from the November event. How is this possible when the SUPPOSEDLY sold out but yet I got a case this week. Needless to say that case will be returned. The third case is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow so when I get that case I will report on that one. So until then keep on hunting.

Hot Wheels G case

Has anyone that pre-ordered the G case received theirs yet? I have ordered two from different buyers and have yet to see them. What doesn't make any sense is that they are SUPPOSEDLY not in yet but when you look on ebay you will see cars from that case listed. For people like me that depend on selling on ebay really kills my profit margin because by the time I get my cases and get the highly demanded cars listed people have started to grow tired an the demand drops. The K.I.T.T. car is selling anywhere from 11 dollars to 24 dollars. So how are these sellers getting these cars before the cases are available? Please comment if you know the answer because I sure would like to get in on that.
