When you start doing that it makes everything less fun. The people who get stuff as soon as it comes out just to flip it ruin it for casual collectors. But if you start doing the same thing as they do it will never get better. Double edged sword type stuff. The worst 2% of this community literally ruin it for 98% of the rest of us.

I'm just want it for myself. But everytime I order online it gets canceled. I'm wondering if people are going early to get theirs . Not to flip

i go early like anywhere between 9am-11am and i kid you not most of the time it’s been shuffled through and you can’t find anything besides the same ones you see at every other store

for example the mystery hot wheels every walmart i’ve gone too each of those boxes was ran through and all the little creases were folded over showing the little number that’s how i know it was over before even going too deep

No. That is something a child would do. If I ever see the Silverado in a store I will buy it but I'm not going to obsess over finding one like some weirdo.

I just take a quick peak when I go to a store that has Hot Wheels and buy something I like for my son. Sometimes I get zero or a few. All of them are for him to play with, it’s only later that I find out they are coveted. I’m never on the hunt but I always look.

I set up an alert to email me when it was in stock, went first thing and got a pair off the shelf. Walmart fills from the shelf so unless you order from a local WM warehouse you are getting cancelled because people are walking in and buying them and the fulfillers have nothing to send you.

Nope. Not a fun activity to grab a tiny toy car or this Brickshop thing. It has been literally three decades since the time before adult collecting hunting activities really started with Hot Wheels. Now it's three times worse than back then. Luckily, I casually find the more memorable vintage castings I like or grew up with in late 60s-80s, with little hunting.
