Rumor has it that some if not all Walmarts are lowering the Hot Wheels basic cars back down to .97 !!! I know it doesn't sound like much but hey, every penny counts. Especially when your hunting. A lot of people don't realize that Hot Wheels is one of the few toys that has had a very minimal increase in price since it's introduction. That's over 40 years people. I don't know how they can do it but hats off to Mattel. So get out to those Wally's and buy up those shelf warmers so they will restock with some new releases. Until then, Keep on Hunting.
Man did I ever open up a can of worms last night on the hotwheelscollectors.com site last night. If you've never been there I highly recommend that you go and at least sign up for the free membership. There is a paid membership if you please. It comes with a free limited membership car and they are almost sold out. Anywho, I went on the discussion board and asked if anyone knew if the ebay seller wineo1983 is the same person that is a member of the collectors site. The first person to reply asked why and when I told him man shit hit the fan. People saying that I was out of line for trying to call him out in public and that it was a personal issue that should have been kept between me and him. OBVIOUSLY the people that were replying were friends of his trying to protect him. Some people were trying to tell me that he was out of town and and that's probably why he wasn't responding and that I should be patient. It's been two weeks of trying to get this guy to answer me. There was ONE person that kind of stood up for me by stating that in this day and age the guy should have some sort of access to his ebay account that he should be able to reply to me. That guy is completely right. That was fun. Hotwheelscollectors.com is a cool site by keeping you informed of upcoming events and the new lines of Hot Wheels that are hitting the stores plus they have exclusive (and limited) cars that you can purchase. But some of the members on there are so tightly wrapped that it takes but a little spark to set them off. And a lot of them HATE people that resell Hot Wheels. They call them scalpers. I will agree that there are some assholes out there that will do anything to get a Treasure Hunt but for guys like me that need to make a living, they give us true sellers a bad name. More on that later. Anyway if you get a chance check out the site. I'll link it to the right. That's it for now so remember, Keep on Hunting.
