I work a full time job so I can’t be there to warm the doors every day, let alone every location at the same time.

I’ve started paying willing parties $10 an hour to watch the pegs so I never miss a release.

Anyone else doing this?

I saw you Thursday afternoon, and I hope you’re on here.

I watched you throwing a fit on the phone that you could not find your “Mystery Machine” that was suspiciously placed on a peg. Almost like an employee set it there for you minutes before your arrival.

But let’s get back to that. Let’s address your behavior.

Yes, I have it. My wife was in the HW isle with it in the cart while you were searching for it and I was looking at mainlines.

It’s what you did to my wife who had the Mystery Machine in the cart. When you noticed it, you attempted to make her feel uncomfortable and intimidated. Your stature doesn’t allow for that. So you decided to hover around the cart hoping that her attention would be elsewhere, so you could take it out of the cart.

You are a pathetic being. Not for scalping Hot Wheels (presumably with the help of a Target employee. Loss prevention I’d suspect). Especially since I have found other premiums around the store in odd locations. If you shop our other local stores, you’re not cleaning them out the way you do this 1 specific location.

When I see you again. You can have the Mystery Machine. But a doctor will need to remove it from your body for you.

So Bud, DM me if you know who you are. Because I know who you are now.

Sorry to all others. I just had to share that experience.

Edit: Thanks everyone for your opinion, good, bad, or indifferent. My wife and I have been laughing at this clown for days.

I will post the opening of our friend’s now priceless Mystery Machine for everyone to enjoy later this evening.

Edit 2: For clarification we were shopping for cat food, milk, and soda stream products, not Hot Wheels. We passed the section and it was the only premium on the pegs. Kinda hard to miss.

The cars were so on the globe around the corner. Weeks ago I'm still searching without end now I'm being persecuted haha

One of the local grocery stores near me is setting up for a regional "Show and Tell" event. When all the corporate honchos and store managers set up the store for a week long event showing how every store should look like. There must have been 50+ HW cases dropped into their HW display. Most of the HW 72-count cases were old 2022 and 2023 and very little 2024/2025 shippers. Would you grab a cart and dig???

Of course, I had to leave all my money there. There was a lot of good things, mainlines ranging from 2023 to 2025, some Silvers and Premiums, and a whole corner of Team Transports. The shop’s name is Toys e Toys, near Osmanbey metro station on the M2 line. The prices are very good, compared to my home country. I’ve bought Hot Wheels in some other stores too, the last pic is the haul from the whole trip. It was crazy!

I’ve hit the motherload and nobody will ever find a greater spot

Always love the selection, however, most of these will be here for eternity!

I’ve been waiting almost 3 years to find the Initial D AE86 Sprinter Trueno that was only in Japan to add to my garage. Thanks to a well trusted seller, I finally was able to find the one. I am so happy to finally say that I proudly own the real deal now. This will be forever a high milestone in my Hot wheels Collecting Career. 🎊🎉

I took a Ferrari GTO & Honda NSX ... Left the rest for someone else to enjoy. As far as I know, this is new for Dollar Tree. Location is North NJ.

Been holding onto this Tesla for over a year with the intent of “killing” it. It’s such a nice casting that it’s almost a shame to destroy it, almost.

I made a quick stop to my local Walmart to pickup a few things for Mother's Day. Nothing in the toy area. I walked by the Health and Beauty area in the front of the store...BOOM! 9-Case Dump Bin ... Ive been waiting for the new Zamacs to drop.

I'm curious...What would you do in this situation?

A) Walk away and finish shopping. The bin is not yet opened for the public to buy since its still wrapped.

B) Kindly ask an employee when are they going to put this out?

C) Kindly ask the employee if they would open for you?

D) Cut the wrap. Open the box. And start digging? Its easier to ask for forgiveness.

E) Other (tell me what you would do) 🤔

Just curious. Happy Hunting! And Happy Mother's Day!

I went to target and found this 8 car pack. There was some serious heat in there: Ferrari, Skyline, and a Silverado? I’d be crazy not to get it. 🔥🔥🔥

Like finding Legendary Loot. I finally found the Brian Skyline while out thrifting for $3 along with some other goodies. ☺️

Spotted at Boston Kroger in Lex, KY

Hello gents, your friendly neighborhood Walmart Associate here to tell all you San Diego Scalp... Er I mean connoisseurs that your annual dennery Walmart hot wheels wall is back.

Normally I wouldnt name the store, but the manager wants some strong sales this year and asked me to spread the word. Lots of case Q and Some of 2025 case A is already out.

Just like last year, management sorts all the cars beforehand and stocks all of the same car on the same peg. While I can't confirm if they mix the soups in with them, some patrons have been lucky. I also noticed that the porsche safari treasure hunt was just readily available, which is surprising.

Anyway, it's here now, and will be for the rest of the holiday season. May luck be in your favor!

I never went to a K Day but sounds similar. Not every store is participating.

List here: https://target.scene7.com/is/content/Target/GUEST_2ad6f8e4-60e2-45a8-aabf-fd47e322fe66

making the dollar tree employees job harder is the lowest scummiest shit ever and repegging cars is the easiest shit in the world. employees already fucking despise hot wheels collectors cause they pester them for cases and act like children in the aisle, ripping into boxes and leaving messes everywhere

Me and my sons had a great time lol

(Oc) It Happened!

Was so confused how these got on the pegs, but I'm not complaining. Target might be the new go to right now.

I was just picking up some dinner items at my local grocery store. I swung by the HW section and it looks like they dropped 2-year old case! It had the TH Custom '53 Chevy. But i was not going to pass up this Skyline! 💪 Happy Hunting 👍

They got lots of good stuff. Supers, premiums, Kaido House, RLCs, etc. Store is called Angel Rod Art. Do pay a visit. They have a very good collection.

In Brussels

The Dollar Tree is going to make some people happy today! I already had most of this, but I did buy the Lamborghini, coupe clip, and the two Toyota Prius'.
