Good job tracking down the new blue Shelby Gt-500. I've been looking hard, but no luck around here yet. So far in the last two days I've hit two Walmarts, a Target, K-Mart, Meijer, and TRU, and nothing yet. The Walmart I drive past on my way home from work every morning seems to keep its stock up and moving better than any other local store, so I'll keep checking there several times a week.

I also found the green Mach 1.Here are comparison pics with the Eleanor GT500. I like the blue stock one much better!

Luke, what did the packaging look like for the blue one? Was it a blue card or a yellow card? Makes it easier for me to spot them on the rack if I know what color to look for.

Nice Bill! I do have one extra. But, I'm sure you'll find it by the time it would end up in your mailbox. They are finally showing up here and it was like flood gates opening. The big blue four sided shippers that Walmart has basically showed up overnight! Friends on hotwheelscollectors.com have said that Targets are now getting 2010 Hotwheels as well.

I still haven't had any luck finding the new blue '67 GT500. In the last week, I've been to 8 Walmarts, 4 Meijer stores, 4 Targets, 2 KMarts, 2 Walgreens, Toys-R-Us, Sears, and Giant Eagle. Either somebody has been beating me to the punch every time, or the stores around here are slow in getting the new stuff. It is probably a bit of both. Out of the 20+ stores I visited, only three had any 2010's at all in stock, I got the only 2010 they had at one Walmart (the Viper ACR), found a couple more of the Vipers at TRU, and finally had some luck at the Walmart close to my work yesterday. They had just put out two endcap displays, and I finally found the green Mach 1, so I picked up a couple of those, a couple of the '56 Ford (Champion) cars, and two of the Ford Woodie Treasure Hunts. Still on the lookout for the blue GT500 though.
I think part of my problem is that most of the Walmart and Meijer stores I hit are at 3-4am after I get off work, and they apparently don't replenish stock until sometime durig the day, so I'm left with whatever has been picked through by the other collectors and customers, and I don't get to the non-24 hour stores until the afternoon/evening, because I'm sleeping in the mornings. The only reason I got lucky at the Walmart yesterday, was because I made a special trip in during the early afternoon. Well, the hunt continues.....

Decided to go to Walmart after work today. Didn't expect to find anything. But, I was wrong. Found a M2 Chase 1970 Mustang Grabber fastback. According to 1stopdiecast, this piece is 1 of less than 150!!
I also found the regular orange version! And, at Target I got the new Welly Mach III Concept car and the silver Porsche!
