There is a dealer well known in St Louis that pays employees to send him texts when there is a new case and he has first shot. I personally dont care if I get a TH or super, I buy what I want and like. I would buy one if it was on the self but I wouldn't care or even think about it. I also know that a lot of these employees set things aside to flip, so they ( weather right or wrong) have first shot at any collectible. When I found that Ferrari SF90 Stradale sitting in a dump bin I got more excited than winning a COT 19 on eBay (You know Im an EC fan) With that said go back and get your food and keep looking...

Went to a small hot wheels show here in St. Louis today and corralled my horses. The only one I didn’t get was the premium circuits legends which I wanted, but did not like the asking price of 20. I also spent a week in Indianapolis and found this awesome custom Ford Maverick. picked up the premium white RX seven and had to open it. It is one of my top three cars at the moment. I like skylines and I heard about this brand called Tomy so found one on eBay for four dollars shipped the doors open. It’s OK. also at the hot wheel show I found this justice league Batmobile, which I got for $5. I used to focus on just grabbing the new Batmobile’s but this year I have had a lot more fun with hot wheels than I have comic books.

Nether do I...Are they just PCH?

Sorry I haven't been sharing... I didn't think Id win this awhile back, but I did its in my grade/price range...

Oh the Ferrari SF90 Stradale is in Case J

Case K has the Ferrari F40 and Case L has the Ferrari 65 GTB4 Competizione Red And there are a few Premiums as well (edit)...these are not mine

Yeah the Magic 8 ball is cool. There will be a total of 3 Ferraris by the end of this year! So keep you eyes peeled!

Finally I got a Ferrari! And a few other cars I think are cool! Really liked the Matchbox Off-Road collection. Im a sucker for Skylines…

I want this!! Awesome!

Happy birthday @grebal!!! I hope you are doing well!!

My store has left overs of the Eisner and a lot of the others so if anyone needs something send me a PM.

If any of you EC addicts did not get a copy of the free comic book day Blood Type let me know. My LCS has 10 still left and said I could have them all. If you’re willing to pay for shipping i’ll ship them.

I missed out on a low grade copy a few years back, Wish I would have grabbed it. Also did you send me a PM?

Oops I should have said that it was a Treasure Hunt.

I was walking up to the dump bin today and this was hanging on one of the pegs. Cool looking car.

I went to the Hot Wheels Nationals today when it opened for the public toyshow. I met a few people and had good conversations with them. One problem that I saw was almost every dealer in the showroom had roughly all of the same cars (Supers and Premiums) for around the same price.there were only four dealers that I saw who had cheaper cars in the 2 to 5 dollar range. I wound up buying the two nationals cars because you had to buy both of them as a set. here is what I bought this weekend.Plus, I got my mail in Mercedes Unimog this week. It has been a fun couple of months buying hot wheels and playing with them with my kids.

You really just have to remember the names and it makes it easier to find when on a rack. The regular TH have a little flame on the car and on the card behind the car. The Super TH have a better paint job and have rubber wheels. Again if you know which cars they are it makes it easier.

Ive got 3 of the Dollar General exclusive cars but the Chevy I can't find. My friend will take anything I have extras of for his kid, so me buying multiple of one car won't bite me in the butt. And who thinks Hot wheels are worth money? Maybe the supers or the ones off the website, but most of the ones Ive seen at the toy or hot wheels shows were pretty cheap $20-$50. I did see some older ones that were in the $100+ but that was a trade. Maybe its been filling my void of comic collecting because I can't find any more EC books that are in my price range anymore. Oh well Ill just have to wait for the right book at the right time!

@Robot Man you are right I did not think I was on the brink of losing control but again today I walk into Walmart to pick up some stuff and they had just opened three cases and apparently I was the third person to go through them. this is what I found. I was hoping to keep one closed open one and maybe trade one at the St. Louis hot wheels national convention next week, but apparently the Zamacs dont trade well…

I paid $20 for two Williams F1, the 5 pack F1 and three Optimus Prime. And yes it can add up! I probably spent $120 in the last 2 months. Its been fun but it won't last. Ive noticed its kind of like Bourbon "Hunting" (I hate that term) you have to have time and know people and I dont want to have to know when places restock because Im not trying to "flip" (again hate this term). Im just buying for fun and if I get too many then at Halloween or Christmas I can drop them off for charity. I was lucky enough to open one case at a Dollar General. I was excited but only found the Pedal car. Still had fun though.

Im thinking about going to the HotWheels National convention here in St Louis next week. Has anyone been to one before?

@cgcsketcherz I REALLY enjoy your sketch covers that you have done! Scooby was a favorite of mine as a kid. I also think your mashups with other characters are fun and playful! Keep them coming!

Ive been going a little crazy lately with Hot Wheels but its been fun! I went to my first hot wheels dedicated only show here in St. Louis last Sunday. It was a really fun time although I was pressed for time and only had an hour at the show, because I had to get home to watch the F1 race! I really wanted to find the F1 cars because I’m an F1 fan and I wanted the Optimus prime. The first table on my left when I walked in, had all of it, and none of it was marked up insanely so I was able to get all of the F1 cars and an Optimus prime to open one to keep closed and one for a friend. Here is what I have bought in the last couple weeks. I also really wanted to go to the hot wheels nationals convention here in St. Louis but tickets are $85 for all four days and as far as I can tell there is no individual day tickets sold. Also here in the St. Louis area, Dollar General‘s are running by one get one free on all hot wheels and matchbox cars. Maybe check your area. They may have the same deal. also, during this time, I did my first mail in offer ever. Spend $20 at Walmart and receive one of two cars a Jaguar or the skyline. I got the skyline. I also did the spend $20 at Dollar General and get the Uni Mog Mercedes truck but I have not gotten that one yet.

Chew is my favorite comic series of all time! And when I saw this I had to get it. Ive regretted selling my TPBs for years and now I have them again!!!
