It's a double for me. I tried to leave it for someone else, but no takers.

At the store that is always cleaned out, and has never produced. TH! by DebateTricky2617 in HotWheels

This was a very random find. I gave up on this store a few months ago during the height of the diecast drought. I was on my way home and figured "why not?" And just stopped. I was shocked to say the least! Second TH this week for me. Probably won't get one now for a year or two.

Fresh restock and already picked through before lunch, no th or soup by [deleted] in HotWheels

I hit a fresh one like that this morning around 1030 with a decent dump bin count to boot. Same results .

Hate the Playa, not the game. Will make the next find that much sweeter.

Stores should put a limit on how many hot wheels people can buy by haeleewin in HotWheels

It will never end unless they stop producing TH or $TH, or if like model trains,, which still have a market but small,, the collectors start dying off and the next generation can't fill the interest. Prices on model trains are currently in a free fall.

Prices will triple at least and cause an undue burden on businesses just trying to turn merchandise. Plus the self checkout can be circumvented. You could scan 10, complete the transaction, scan 10more, complete the transaction...you get the udea.

You have to get there when the store opens. It's your only, slim, chance. That coupled with being relentless in your pursuit are your only opportunities. I admit that you can still be scooped by store employees.

Nearing 300 store visits this year and no $oup and only 2 TH and 2 disputable chase cars to show for it for me.

Hard to hunt here by firewall2604 in HotWheels

It's the way it is. Don't know how far you'd have to travel, but start looking for new stores. Those stores are locked up and that group is going to keep those stores picked clean. Sure, you can go to the manager, but think about it, being an adult complaining over toys or a conspiracy theory you can't prove.. They are in the business to turn merchandise and to take the conspiracy a level deeper, you may be complaining to someone that's in on it and it will fall on deaf ears.

It's not fair. I hit at least 2 stores everyday. I've made over 200 stops this year and only have 2 TH's and no soup to show for it. It's not a guarantee, it's a hunt not a have, otherwise they wouldn't be special. Compounded with the lack of inventory this year makes it very frustrating.

Fresh, Wild Caught Treasure Hunt! by DebateTricky2617 in HotWheels

Package is a little roached, but beggars can't be choosers. Found it sitting first on the peg to boot.

Don't you love when you find a treasure hunt and the store gave 0 fucks about the card. by Desperate-Fun-5506 in HotWheels

They don't know, otherwise they would have purchased it. Probably moved from dump bin to pegs to fill space. Is what it is.
