I found Greenlight's 2010 GT that comes with customization parts, ie. GT500 wheels for you to put on if you want. So I did!
Looks great with the lowered stance!

The 87 GT in the series comes with some awesome Cragar style wheels I need to find the car still!

Unless you are experienced with taking Hotwheels cars and diecasts apart, this can be a tricky task.

The stores around here are taking their sweet *** time to restock after the holidays. The pickin's are bare.

Did manage to get the Gold w/red stripe 2010 HW as well as the Blue Custom '67 HW.
I also picked up from TRU today the white AJ Foyt #4 car.

On a mission now, so going to go out tomorrow and try some other stores farther away & see what they may have.

Nice Skip!

It felt like I hit the jackpot tonight. Went to the local Wal-mart and found these. Of course my buddy Chad was happy I found a couple he'd been looking for.

YOU FOUND E CASE CARS! Those are brand new!!!!!!!! I want those Shelbys!

The only Saleen Mustang 1/64 is a Johnny Lightning 1994 Race car with Home Improvement logos and the Transformers RPMs cars that don't look quite right in my opinion. Hotwheels does have the Saleen S7 though. I keep hoping they will do a Mustang in good detail!

Got these today at a local toy show... Not all Mustangs, BEWARE! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...king/021-2.jpg
Not too much success as far as what I was hoping to find. But good nonetheless. I really am happy I finally got the Hotwheels 100% 65 GT350.
Also, bought some more online tonight that will be here later this week...Keep you all updated!
Thanks for looking.

Nice, I have to take some shots, found some at the meet on Friday night!

Ok here is what Connor and I found Friday Night.. The 65 GT350 on top of the Terlingua/Javelin set I ordered them at SEMA from Fun Lines. They are really cool, sticker on the front says SEMA Special. I had to order a case (6) so I have extra if anyone is interested in one of them...

also I just noticed, they retooled it sort of. I guess the copyright against the Eleanor body kit is not over. The redid the hood with huge hood scoops and gills.

Very cool, Love the Mopars too!

Ok Luke if I cant find those we might have to trade some! Found the red GT500KR today along with yellow Torino...

rear view mirror delete? lol

Has anyone else noticed that places like Target & Walmart have reduced the amount of cars they are carrying? It seems like they have decided to scale back on what they carry as well as how much.

What used to be on an entire aisle is now down to half an aisle (if that).:(

Most cases had the GTO, some had the Corvette. My wife went for me yesterday morning since she is out grocery shopping Saturday mornings anyways, and I'm usually sleeping since I work nights. She didn't get her ticket drawn the first round, but got at least one of all of the K-Mart exclusives and first-to-markets, plus the '69 Mustang and Mustang Concept which were new to the F-cases. I do have a case on order from kmart.com, so hopefully it will have at least a regular GTO hunt in it. I found a bunch of the Corvette hunts last month.

This is the '69 I was referring to: http://www.hotwheelscollectors.com/L...k-HWC&sid=3102
Not my favorite casting, mainly because of the disproportionately large wheels/tires, but it is a Mustang, so I collect it.

More pics from yesterday. :D

Here's some I picked up while in Birmingham yesterday. The Shelby is a Franklin Mint I found for $50, it's a 1/24 scale.

Nice finds Skip! Let me guess, the store was Restoration Hardware?

Dave, the 69 Mustang was one that was not in my case at Kdays...but here is a picture.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...eaks_51701.jpg

I'll have more finds pics tonight or tomorrow at the latest!

Got a couple of more. The gold '67 Shelby has different style wheels. :grin:

Sweet! Our Kdays didn't have the 69 Mustangs at it.

I finally got my box from USPS after being delayed 6 days. Complete bogusness...but anyways. The wait was worth it!

Hotwheels Vintage Racing series!

Way to go! I saw that last FOX cop car at Target yesterday but left it.

Nice! Found a few of the last ones, Gt500 Vert, Silver GT500, and the 69 Hot wheels banner, it must be all metal because its heavy!

Sweet Finds Skip!

Since the weather was pretty nice today Christina and I decided to go for a ride. We stopped by a friend of hers who is going to have a yard sale this weekend and the subject of Hotwheels came up. Seems he used to work at K-B toy stores and would sometimes go through the boxes and get the Treasure Hunts. I bought the 3 posted, why I don't know, they're from the mid '90s, the Cobra is from '91 and the Gold '65 Mustang convertible is from '82. The others we bought at K-Mart & Wal-Mart.

They won't make any more money off me by making extra TH's. Unless I hit the local stores daily (or at least 3-4 times a week), I just don't find them more than a couple of times a year when I get lucky.

Picked up a gold 2010 gt, a gray italia, and george follmers 70 boss 302 today at work.
